Hello,

I really need some help.  For whatever reason I struggle with samba every time I have to do anything with it.  This time though I am totally lost.  So I had an old P4 PC with an older version of Linux Lite that was set up as a media server.  After about 40 hours of messing with samba I got it to be visible and accessible by any computer on my network.  All was well until I upgraded to a new computer and installed the new version of Lite.  I can't get the network to work at all.  It can be seen by other computers but not accessed.  I have two hard drives in the computer.  On has the operating system and the other has the files I need to share on the network.  This is my smb.conf file

I live in Mexico now. After latest install, in File Manager all the times and dates are in Spanish. Also the Calendar at bottom right of Taskbar. I can't find out where to change this back to English.

Hello,
how are fada typed on keyboard in Linux Lite 3.2 ?
Alt Gr is doing Denmark characters.

Previously I've had no problem installing and using miniDLNA on my local network, when I was using an old 32 bit notebook machine, several LL versions ago.
However, I've now tried to make miniDLNA a server on my main 64bit LL 4.2 machine, and I'm having problems.
I installed it from Synaptics, and it appears to be running as a server.

Hello to all members,

I'm using Linux Lite OS 3.8 loading .Iso DVD image from hard disk (Live-HD mode).  Because Ubuntu features I updated all my system, with the exception of booting kernel, wich remains at 16.04.4 release.  Loading .Iso image from hard disk boots original Lite 3.8 kernel into readonly file system (/cdrom).

I want to know how I can update vmlinuz and initrd.gz files, doing commands into a separate folder to get these files updated to 16.04.6 kernel release.  I suppossed task is related to update-initramfs command.

Anyone can help me?

Thank you in advance.  ;-)

Linux Lite 4.1

I have been using Linuxlite for a few years now and am currently using 4.0. I installed it last fall and haven't had any issues with it. Until today. This morning I shut down my computer normally, but when I turned it back on this evening, it asked me to login on startup; I had it set to log me in automatically, so I thought this was weird. But then it wouldn't accept my password. I made sure caps and numlock weren't on but it still won't let me in. I haven't done anything unusual lately or noticed any strange behavior until this happened. Can someone tell me what is going on? Have I been hacked? What can I do to get back into my computer?

Following the death of my Asus laptop, I swapped it with someone for a third-hand Lenovo Ideapad G580 model 2689 notebook. It has Win8.1 pre-installed in UEFI mode - I would like to dual-boot it with LL, in Legacy mode.

However I'm unable to access the BIOS or Boot Order to allow me to do this.
The 'novo' button doesn't work, only showing a menu with 4 options - clicking on any of the options and it just boots into the Win8.1 user account. Apparently the software that allows the 'novo' button to access BIOS or Boot Order, is on a partition of the drive that was originally shipped with this laptop - being a 3rd-hand laptop, my guess is that's long gone!

So I tried more conventional methods: F2 and F12 keys, and clicking on PC settings in the charms bar, choosing the Recovery etc option. However none of these work and it just boots into the Win8.1 user account. 

However, from the LL hardware database, I notice that LL has been installed on the Lenovo G580, but maybe these contained original drive to enable operation of the 'novo' button ... I also notice from hadrian's inxi -Fz terminal output, that he installed LL on a Lenovo G580.

Any ideas, send them this way before I throw this laptop in the bin  > > >

Is Canon mx922 Airprint compatible and where can I download it ? Many of us take some answers for granted, while for others they are definitely unknowable. So I want to support with some information for those who want to know if compatible Canon mx922 printer with Airprint.



First answer the answer quickly:
Is Canon mx922 Airprint compatible ?
YES, Airprint is compatible with the Canon MX922 Printer. Happy ? 

I guess it's a great answer for you right now, and that's good. We find this answer without problem in the Official Canon Page https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/explore/printing-innovations/mobile-printing/airprint in section: "The following printers are equipped with this Feature"

Remember that with your Canon MX922 printer you can use Wi-Fi connectivity to print from your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Important: It is not necessary to install canon mx922 drivers, but if you need them you can download here:https://www.canondriversoft.com/2018/10/...inter.html.




As simple as that, it is only necessary to connect the printer with your device and that's it. For this you can see the official canon tutorial to connect Airprint Here:http://www.canon.ca/support_images/KB_Im...nt_NEW.pdf

Ok, I already learned that Canon Mx922 printer is compatible with Airprint, but, what is AirPrint ?. AirPrint is Apple's wireless printing technology. Allows you to print from any Apple device to an AirPrint compatible computer.

There is all the necessary information about AirPrint I hope that this summary is complete and useful for you.

I recently installed LL 3.8 on to an Asus 1225B laptop - mostly without a hitch.

Had a slight problem with the keyboard being a bit scrambled but sorted this out by referring to other forum posts on the topic.

When subsequently trying to access Lite Software, Install/Remove, etc for which my password is required, the authentication process does not accept my password.

I suspect that this may be  due to the original keyboard hiccup during the installation but I don't know how to get around this. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
