  LL 6.2 install on Lenovo laptop, some keyboard keys not working
Posted by: PeterV - 01-31-2023, 11:30 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (3)

Hiya!

I've installed LL 6.2 on a Lenovo laptop, it seems to be ok except the following:

hitting <shift> 2 gives the @ symbol instead of "
hitting <shift> ' gives " instead of @
the number keys on the main keyboard all work except 7, which does nothing
Numlock seems to be ok - the keypad area toggles between numbers and the movement keys when I hit Numlock


I've tried the virtual / onscreen keyboard, all keys work ok on that.
Can anyone tell me which of the keyboard options I should set?

Cheers and TIA!

The trackpad is misbehaving too, that's next on my list

  LL 6.2 install, no option to enable wifi
Posted by: PeterV - 01-31-2023, 12:11 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (1)

Heya! Fairly newbie here...

Just installed Linux Lite 6.2 on a Lersenovo laptop, all seems ok so far except there's no option to enable wifi in the networking menu box. When I go to edit connections, the wifi connection is there, but how do I enable it?? I've connected to my router with a cable and that works fine, and I've downloaded and installed all the updates, but still no wifi :-(

Any suggestions?

Cheers, Peter

  El Montador Fantasma
Posted by: Mikix - 01-30-2023, 11:04 PM - Forum: Spanish [Spanish] - Replies (5)

Hola amigos, paso a contaros lo ultimo ocurrido en mi Linux Lite y sin saber como ha sido.

Estaba cacharreando con los archivos SNAP para ver como se borraban los que estaban desabilitados como por ejemplo:
gnome-3-38-2004_119.snap
gnome-3-28-1804_161.snap
y me encuentro con que en el Escritorio aparece una particion de Windows llamada System Reserved (creada por mi en su momento y que no aparecia anteriormente ) como montada por Linux sorpresivamente y por el contrario la particion de C: (la principal ...la de arranque) tambien de Windows, y que desde el principio de mi instalacion de Linux Lite (era accesible desde este sistema operativo), ahora no es posible acceder a ella y en sus propiedades (con boton derecho) me indica que esta montada y me da la opcion de DESMONTARLA (desmontar volumen)!!.Lo hace, pero al montarla otra vez (con clave de acceso) me la abre como un Bloc de notas vacio.

Que ha pasado??...alguien me puede decir como puedo visualizar (como al principio) mi particion principal de Windows. :-\

Que tengo que hacer?..como es la cosa de Montar y Desmontar...como se hace?? :dft005:

Se puede cambiar esta situacion sin cargarte el acceso al la paticion de Windows??. :014:

El Montador Fantasma se ha metido en mi computer y no se como darle su merecido!...si alguien sabe como,que por favor me lo diga porque estoy muy mosqueado. :56:

Un saludo foreros y espero vuestras respuestas concluyentes.

SALUD y Bytes! :wave

  VLC not working well on laptop running LL 3.8
Posted by: JanetBiggar - 01-30-2023, 07:37 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (1)

Help! - I'm back in South Africa and in the midst of updating and handling any glitches in some of the older laptops I am placing with new students.
The current laptop I'm working with is a Toshiba Portege R830; 32 bit; i7, RAM 4 GB.
It is working and albeit slow it does okay.  The MAIN issue I am finding is when playing videos that are downloaded ON the laptop via VLC media player periodically the video will stop for 1-2 secs then start again AND most importantly at times while playing the picture will disappear or almost disappear for about 2-4 secs then return to playing normally (hard to describe, but it fades out such that you can't make out what is being shown).
Interestingly this does NOT occur when viewing videos on the internet such as YouTube.  At first I thought it was a screen issue, but obviously not.
Perhaps something else to mention is that when I update LL 3.8 I use "Update Manager" rather than the full Linux lite update tab.  Update Manager allows me to update the safer updates (1-3 and skip those labelled 4-5 which might create issues...).

So my questions are:1) is there something I can do to remedy the issue I'm having playing these study videos that are downloaded to the laptop?
2) is there perhaps a different video player I should use?  I did see a post from 2020 that talked about Totem.  IF I should try Totem, exactly how do I get that for this laptop.

Thanks again for your ideas,
Janet

Having an issue where the brightness on my laptop is at the lowest setting and the F2 and F3 control does not work. This is where they are supposed to be by default.  This is on my HP laptop. Anything would be helpful.

  Computer wont restart properly
Posted by: Brayden zero - 01-27-2023, 05:17 AM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (10)

I restarted my Lenovo Thinkpad W520 and it brought up the normal options for interrupting startup etc. but whenever I select normal startup it loads for a while, shows a black screen with the below text, before resuming loading and repeating. I have very little knowledge about computers but from the searching I've done I can only find results for [IBUS] faults, not [engine!] faults like the ones displayed. Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this issue, I'm very new to Linux and am not sure what issue this fall under.

  question regarding "start find"
Posted by: Rosika - 01-26-2023, 03:11 PM - Forum: Other - No Replies

Hi all,  Smile

I´ve got a question for better general understanding.

When clicking on "Menu" (the leftmost entry in the taskbar I´m also presented with a search-field which helps with quickly finding a particular programme/app. That´s great.

I entered the search term "find" and got the following results:
(it´s a German setup but you certainly get what I´m referring to)

[Image: ZPGhm8N.png]

As you can see there´s an entry "find starten", i.e. "start find". It´s the fifth entry from the top.
It´s attached to a gears icon which certainly means it´s not a dedicated programme, rather some sort of setting or service.
At least that´s my guess...  :003:

Hmm, I was wondering what the effect of clicking on it might be. So I clicked on it but nothing seems to have happened.
I looked in lnav for potential log entries but found nothing. :023:

Does anyone know what my clicking on it might have done?

Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

Many greetings from Rosika  :wave

  Newly Installed- desktop blank-no panel
Posted by: ieyecaptin - 01-26-2023, 10:59 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (6)

Hi,
I installed LL from a disk a few days ago. Yesterday, all of a sudden, the panel, which is normally at the bottom of the screen disappeared. Since then my desktop is blank with nothing but a cursor. I can still right click and access applications, but I have no panel and no ability to shut down etc. For any help I would be very grateful.
