  keyboard unable to eliminate fn keys
Posted by: foxcub - 06-05-2020, 04:55 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (1)

I had ubuntu 12.04 (I think that what ir was) and I ran lite t from a usb stick. Everything was working fine - no keyboard problems. So I installed Lite 5 to replace ubuntu 12.04.

However, I now cannot use all the keys on my keyboard - I am unable to find a way to get out of the fn keys (small keyboard, no keyboard numbers pad). I have tried the usual key combinations: n+esc, fn+page UP, + page down etc. Luckily, I can log on without  problem keyboard works as it should. However,  once I am logged on and in the full install I have the problem.

In the systems Information it says the keyboard is an AT Translated Set 1 keyboard (if that means anything to you!).

Should I try to reinstall. Personally, I have run out out of ideas.

Edit: I have just run Lite 5 from the Live USB stick and I now notice that in fact, the FN keys are "stuck" so that I cannot use all the alphabetical keys as FN has blocked them and are displaying the numbers pad instead.

Edit: I have just run Lite 5 from the flask USB again and I now notice that in fact the keyboard does not work properly s the FN keys are "stuck" on so that L=3, K=2 and J=1 etc. I cannot find a way to unstick the FN keys.

Machine is a Lenovo Ideapad G465 laptop, originally windows 7 home. now dual booting with Win 7.
Windows seven is working correctly in all ways so the issue must lie somewhere with Linux Lite 5.

Many thanks in advance.

  Notification tool doesn't work
Posted by: thedoor - 06-05-2020, 03:11 PM - Forum: Security & Bug Fixes - Replies (9)

NOTE: This issue has been resolved by Jerry in a fix shown below and a permanent fix is planned for a future update, if not already included in one.

On my LinuxLite 5.0 second install, the Notification tool is totally useless (also on the first install). No matter what setting I choose, nothing changes. It's always the same look and always in the upper right corner. When I change to a different look, the preview is always the same. The preview doesn't show the new setting. Also, the notification shows for 10 seconds, regardless of the timing set for it. It's useless to even have the tool, since using it doesn't change anything. Obviously something isn't working. It would be nice if it worked.

  Linuxlite 5: install issue-no wifi-stuck at updates/software step
Posted by: luunatik20 - 06-05-2020, 12:24 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

Hello All.

Looking for help with fresh install coming from a stable and happy system. I made back up of all required files and since deciding to go with upgrade to LL5, am now stuck.

Link to screengrab
https://www.udrop.com/48l/1C03B1E7-8BE8-...CCE2A.jpeg

I tried installing Ubuntu 20.04 and worked fine only it was slow for my hardware specs.

I have tried different usb sticks, fresh download of LL5 iso as well to no good result. Stuck at same stage. I tried to get 4.8 installed, it goes through with install, but, wifi (BCM4352 gets disabled).

Please assist to get LL5 installed.

Additional info:
Do not have lan input to use wired connection on lenovo yoga pro 3
Available, listed wifi driver unable to install without internet

Also have tried install driver manually via deb file, no change.

Thanks.

  La Hora se desincronisa del Servidor NTP
Posted by: leonardo.mendez - 06-05-2020, 11:04 AM - Forum: Spanish [Spanish] - No Replies

Saludos a todos los Usuarios de Linux Lite me he topado hoy con esta problema el cual se soluciona de una manera muy sencilla es que el Servidor NTP de la Internet no se sincroniza con nuestro Sistema Linux Lite provocando que no se puedan abrir las paginas Web en nuestro Navegador.

Se procede de la siguiente manera vas a Menu-Configuracion-Date and Time-Cambias la Opcion a Manual colocas la fecha y horas y cierras.

Luego abres una Terminal con las teclas CTRL-ALT-T y colocas en la misma este comando sudo hwclock -w

Problema resuelto

  ssh & rsync failed due to custom .bashrc
Posted by: Udayendu Kar - 06-05-2020, 07:52 AM - Forum: Security & Bug Fixes - Replies (4)

[x] rsync failed with the following error:

    ---
    stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device
    protocol version mismatch -- is your shell clean?
    (see the rsync man page for an explanation)
    rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at /home/lapo/package/rsync-3.0.9-1/src/rsync-3.0.9/compat.c(174) [Receiver=3.0.9]
    ---

[x] If doing scp the its showing "Welcome to Linux Lite 5.0 ${USER}" but unable to copy the file. So both send and receive are not working using normal user.

This is happening as we have those echo lined in .bashrc. After removing those .bashrc, its working well. Can we findout an alternative to handle those entries in .bashrc ?

Please consider including Pale Moon (browser) to  your repository . In the past I've used Steve Pusser's repository but I've run into problems in 4.8 and 5.0 . PM doesn't have a large following, but it would be a nice option.

  Nuevo en esta Distribution Linux LIte 5.0
Posted by: leonardo.mendez - 06-04-2020, 10:07 PM - Forum: Spanish [Spanish] - Replies (1)

Buenas tardes o noches me dirijo a ustedes desde Venezuela en la oportunidad de agradecerles a la gente de Linux Lite 5.0 64 bits por desarrollar una Distribucion totalmente amigable e intuitiva para todo tipo de usuarios Novatos, Medios o Avanzados debido a lo sencilla de su Interfaz para todo tipo de situaciones asi como su Configuracion puesta a punto del Sistema.

En la Instalacion en mi Netbook del Gobierno una Canaima Intel ATOM N455 con 2 GB RAM Disco Duro de 350 GB con un pendrive booteable me quede loco al ver que duro 45 minutos la misma y en 1 Hora 45 minutos ya tenia todo configurado y funcional.

Si detecte una falla con la pantalla en el proceso de Instalacion la misma se desbordaba y no se veia los botones de Aceptar Cancelar o Siguiente tueve que ingeniarmelas con la tecla TAB, por lo demas fue sencilla y rapida.

Vengo de otras Distribuciones tales como: Fedora Ubuntu Debian Gentoo Suse Sparsky Lubuntu Xubuntu Kubuntu Ubuntu Mate Canaima 3.0 4.0 y otras mas que no me acuerdo.

Di el salto a la misma porque revise la Base de Datos de Hardware y era compatible y no me defraudo es super rapida tengo abiertas hasta 7 ventanas sin ralentizamiento de la misma tambien mejoro notablemente el rendimiento de la red.

Mis sinceras felicitaciones a todo el Staff de Programadores asi como de todos los Usuarios de la Comunidad los cuales ponen un grano de arena para que la misma sea mejor.

Gracias Linux Lite 5.0
