  Screen mangify not working?
Posted by: jub - 05-29-2023, 05:59 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

Hello all,

I had previously had Linux Lite 6.2 installed, and I remember there being an option somewhere in settings to choose which hotkeys (default is Alt+Scroll) to assign to magnify the screen at the cursor. However, I can't seem to find this setting in 6.4, and the screen magnify isn't working. The Linux Lite Help AI is telling me to look for System Settings and Universal Access, which don't seem to exist on my system. Does anyone know how to set up the hotkeys for the magnify option?

Thanks!

  laptop HP 15-db0400ng: questions regarding WLAN
Posted by: Rosika - 05-22-2023, 12:39 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)

Hi all,  Smile

I´m asking on behalf of a friend of mine. So I have limited access to her laptop´s specs, but I know some of them.

I want to help my friend set up Linux Lite on her laptop, which is a HP 15-db0400ng.
Originally it came with WIN 10 preinstalled.

That was a few years ago and as the laptop couldn´t handle WIN satisfactorily she wanted me to install Bodhi Linux.
In the meanwhile Bodhi has reached EOL and now she wants me to to install Linux Lite 6.4 on her laptop.

I remember back then there was a wlan issue. Bodhi didn´t seem to detect the built-in WLAN.

I found out that it´s the "Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11b/g/n/ac (1x1) Wi-Fi® und Bluetooth® 4.2 combined"
(https://support.hp.com/de-de/document/c06067315#AbT0 )

The problem is: my friend cannot find any ethernet cable despite the fact that she really should have one. :023:

Before tackling the task I just want to ask around:
What´s it like in Linux Lite 6.4? Does it (i.e. the kernel) by any chance come with a driver for it already preinstalled?

inxi -F says:

Code:
Network: Card-2: Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter
         driver: rtl8821ce
     
 
And if LL doesn´t support the device out-of-the-box: Is there a way of installing the driver without having internet connectivity available beforehand, i.e.: off-line?

Many thanks in advance and many greetings.

Rosika  :wave

  Updating Firefox 87 to 110?
Posted by: trimis - 05-21-2023, 12:45 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

It would appear I have Linux Lite 5.4, which I run as LiveCD. Is it possible to update the Firefox to version 110? Online banking site will not play nice with any lesser version. I'm aware such changes will not persist on the DVD. If it is possible to update Firefox (to the required version) without CLI stuff, I would need a step-by-step guidance, as my skill with Linux begins and ends with getting a LiveCD to boot, and getting Firefox onto the net. Already tried Linux Lite 6.4; it failed to boot. Thanks.

  Network icon appears disconnected
Posted by: valtam - 05-20-2023, 10:45 PM - Forum: Security & Bug Fixes - No Replies

The Network icon appears disconnected in some instances, especially in virtual machines.

The fix:

Code:
sudo exo-open /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml

or:

Code:
sudo mousepad /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml

Your file may look similar to this:

Code:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# For more information, see netplan(5).
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    enp0s3:
      dhcp4: yes

change it to:

Code:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# For more information, see netplan(5).
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd

so, remove the last 3 lines.

Reboot.

Don't do this if your network icon appears normally, yet you still have the additional 3 lines in the above mentioned file. Leave it as is.

Fixed in Linux Lite 6.6

  Keyboard hotkeys to snap active window.
Posted by: LDV - 05-19-2023, 02:04 PM - Forum: Desktop Customization - Replies (2)

Hi, new to the Linux world here. I dunno if this is a correct place to ask this question. I have been using Lite for a week and so far is great.
On the windows i could resize and snap active window to one half of the desktop by pressing "command key + arrow". Is there a similar function available here?

  Scratch 3 (aka Scratch Desktop) on Linux Lite... is it possible?
Posted by: CoderDojoPG - 05-19-2023, 10:16 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (1)

Hello,
I run the local CoderDojo (coderdojoperugia.com) and we use Scratch 3 (Desktop) on the computer of the kids. Because very often we make our labs in places where there isn't any internet connection, we use the desktop software and not the website inside the browser (scratch.mit.edu).
I saw that some distro of Linux has access to the standalone version of the Scratch3 software... By searching into the repository, I only find "Scratch" (the oldest version).
Is there anybody here that knows if there is some way to installa Scratch 3 on Linux Lite?
It will be great because I see that this OS looks very good and I am using it in an old computer with a very slow processor... but without any problem.
Thanks!
