Hi Guys,
New to linux today so be easy on me but so far okish.

I have an HP NX9420 that was on XP. It all worked fine except the DVD.
Ive loaded on LL 2.0 and now the DVD works like a charm. Awesome.
I have connected to the net via hard wiring as I cant see any wireless network. THis is because I cant turn on the WLAN button (it has a blue light that has nothing happening) (that was working on XP this morning).
From reading other posts this is an issue but haven't been able to solve.

I managed to install rfkill;

# rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: yes

I also tried rfkill unblock all
This gave the error: Cant open RFKILL control device: Permission denied.

So basically im out of ideas so can anyone suggest something a noob can understand?

Thanks

But as you can see. My themes are not taking in Settings>Appearance GUI. My ~/.icons change worked just fine however.

Dear LL community,

Have been using LL for quite some time now and loving it. My old Toshiba Satellite is very happy too.

I'm dual-booting LL and WinXP. I'd like to give LL more breathing space. Currently I've got a partition sda2 formatted ntfs and dedicated WinXP, it only contains files and I'd like to incorporate it into LL. How do I do that? WinXP lives on sda1.

Any help would be very appreciated, thx

Hi guys

This is my very first attempt at any Linux based OS, and I have to say that I really like it.

I am using an old Acer Aspire One ao751h and the OS looks good and runs quick.

However, I got one issue:

I am trying to watch youtube videos on firefox and they are slightly choppy but watchable (unless in fullscreen, that lags badly), but sound skips alot, making the experience terrible.

Any idea on how this could be fixed?
Please, I am really ignorant in Linux, I can barely use the Terminal and I have no idea on how to fix this.

Probably just missing a check mark somewhere but I can't find it.

I have multiple HDDs and each one has multiple folders and sub folders.  I'd like to be able to see each of the folders/sub folders in the tree view (on the left side bar).  I can see all the HDDs.  What do I need to do to see them?

Hi gold_finger.
Previously you gave me very clear & helpful guidance on how to create a shared DATA partition with two or more distros, including LL2, and then finally binding this partition to the Documents, Downloads, Videos etc. in 'home' in each distro. This is working very well.

I now want to share a DATA partition (on sdb with swap partition), but this time shared between windows 7 and LL2 (both OSes on sda). Like you, I don't have separate /home partitions.  Though I can bind LL2.0 without any problem, I'm unsure how to bind Win 7.  Do I bind Win 7, while logged in to LL2, as I did for the LL2 binding, or do I bind Win 7 while logged in Win 7.

Many thanks for your advice.

I want to be prudent and back up my LL2 onto an external drive, in case of an accident...  What open-source software would any of you suggest for this?

Your ideas are much appreciated.

What software can I use for a simple sound recorder with LL2, so that I can record ambient sound via my laptop's inbuilt microphone?
There is the linux software gnome-sound-recorder 3.4.0, though I suspect it wont run on LL2 as an XFCE rather than a Gnome desktop.

Many thanks in advance for any ideas?

Mike

Can anyone please tell me how I can check the SMART (self test) data on a hard drive with Linux Lite? Lubuntu has a disk utility (possibly called Palimpsest) which does this, as well as being a quick method of checking partitions. It (or something similar) does not seem to be in the standard LL repositories and I can't find any reference in Help. I am probably missing something!
