  Bad sectors?
Posted by: MS - 10-08-2018, 06:27 PM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (6)

The disks application tells me that a 250GB SSD drive that I have, has 100 bad sectors, apart from which being in an "OK" state. When I have particularly checked for bad sectors, attempted to check file system or repair file system - booting from a LiveUSB - it told me 100% is good. Quirk?

Each time I set the system to suspend and then recall, it crashes upon the login.

EDIT:

Screen lock also seems to malfunction and hung up the system.

  Installing Linux Lite on HP Probook 6550b
Posted by: Peejay - 10-07-2018, 05:45 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

I have bought a used HP Probook 6550b in order to install Linux Lite. It has come with Windows 10 Pro installed but I cannot find out how to turn on Legacy mode so that I can boot the LL 4.0 USB. I can access the BIOS/UEFI with F10 and creating a password has enabled me to access the Security tab. On this there are settings for Legacy mode which are not greyed out but changing them seems to make no difference. I can find no reference to Secure Boot in the BIOS/UEFI but there is a section on TPM which seems to stand for Trusted Platform Module and I am assuming this does the same job. In my Acer Aspire V3 I had to access the BIOS via an entry in Windows Advanced Settings, but this version is different (perhaps because later, or HP not Acer, perhaps because Pro version of Windows).I'd be grateful for any pointers or suggestions on how to activate the Legacy Mode. There are a couple of successful entries for the 6500 series of Probooks in the hardware db, so I live in hope!
Thanks

  Radeon-R7-M445, laptop, hybrid: Intel-HD-620
Posted by: MS - 10-07-2018, 08:30 AM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (5)

Hello,

I am new to Linux. I was seduced by LinuxLite specifically, switched from Windows10 laptop, manufactured in 2016. I am happy with the choice, as I have been digging Linux topics for a while now. The point is, the laptop has hybrid graphics composed of Intel-HD-620, which is the main display driver, assisted with Radeon-R7-M445 dedicated renderer.

The mentioned renderer is unsupported on Linux. I have checked the AMD website and the only drivers meant for it run under WindowsOS. I have seen some instructions on fixing the problem - link HERE - but perhaps due to my lacking, I was unable to get them go; actually, this:

Code:
DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL'

moment locks up the system. Hard to tell, I am sure there is something that can be done.

The system does see the device, below are neofetch and system report fragments. The point is, do you have any idea on fixing it, as it would be nice to make use of the equipment available, though perhaps should I seek paid assistance at some specified comany?

Hello,

these show some of the supposed cyber threats Live as they are detected on the maps.
Something like these would be interesting as an open source desktop software.

http://map.norsecorp.com/

https://threatbutt.com/map/

https://www.fireeye.com/cyber-map/threat-map.html

On Norse look at the LIVE attacks listing box, and how many are Microsoft, this is good info to help converting people to a more secure OS of LL, as the visual image may help where words have not.

  How to integrate downloaded software into system?
Posted by: Tyrannocaster - 10-04-2018, 10:12 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

Because Pale Moon is not available through Synaptic for Linux Lite, I installed it manually in the usr/opt directory. It works, but it doesn't appear in the Whisker menu and I can't figure out how to add it to the menu panel. I know this is possible because I somehow already did it! :-) I did it with Reaper, which I installed the same way, but that was two weeks ago and I didn't keep notes on what I did. This time I will write it down in my Linux scrapbook (which I keep as a page in CherryTree - if you haven't tried this program, you are missing a great one, and it's in the repository, plus your files will be readable on a Windows machine, too). If I ever figure it out again, LOL.
