Have got to tell anyone who will listen lol, i went out this morning and bought a 24" Samson Curved Monitor and a Logitech C920 webcam and they both worked straight out of the box. No fooling about installing this or that, whatever. They just worked. Considering this desktop computer used to run Windows XP and now it's running Linux Lite 64bit. Simply amazing. 

I've been running Linux Lite 3.4 for a few months now and it seemed like the dream OS for me.  I'm running on a 10y/o Gateway 64bit desktop machine with an added newer HDMI video card and 4GB of system RAM (I can't get the specs of the computer or video card right now).  This configuration has worked beautifully for the last few months (and many more on other Linux distros), but I recently did updates and suddenly my system will go to sleep (and I assume it's sleeping) and will not wake up.  Using the keyboard or mouse, I just get a black screen with the other indicator lights on the front of the machine blinking away like it's still up and running.  Usually I could use Plex, Team Viewer or RealVNC to connect to it after it had gone to sleep but now I can't connect after it sleeps.  As a test this morning, I disabled sleep altogether so the system would just stay awake all day while I went to work. Unfortunately, I forgot to restart after changing the settings, however; when I got to work an hour later I was able to remote in via RealVNC and do plenty of stuff.  I let it sit for roughly 10 minutes while I did other stuff for work and when I went back to it, the screen was unresponsive.  I disconnected and tried reconnecting and it would not work.  I have to assume it's simply locked up again since I can't connect to Plex or via Team Viewer either.  On reboot I now get a few notices that the system experienced some error.  I've been running Linux distros for a few years now, some great, others not so great.  Linux Lite seems to be one of those great ones for me because it (used to) run so well on my older hardware.  I'm not an advanced Linux user, but I'm not new to the whole thing either.  I don't know of anything that has changed in my system since I don't tend to install much or make many system changes beyond my initial setup.  The machine is mostly used as a Plex/Print server and general web browsing.  The only thing I recall doing was running the updates recently. 

Suggestions are welcome and I'll try to answer anything I can.

I think I'll try uninstalling Team Viewer.  It was generating one of the errors on restarting the machine.

I downloaded Linux-lite 3.4-32bit.iso to my 2.8 program
I then downloaded the iso to the usb flash drive
I installed the usb flash drive to my laptop and it opened the 3.4 program
I was able to make changes to the program which included updating the files.

At the end of the update program it suggested I reboot to correctly install all files
I rebooted the system but all changed I had made were now lost
I am still able to boot the system from the 16gb usb drive

How do I get the changes to download to the usb drive so I will have a live usb

Due to a partitioning problem I have had to reinstall Linux Lite, which has not worked, because the installation DVD was defect. So I installed Linux Mint, now Linux Mint 18. (I have a bunch of those linux DVDs.)

I would like to reinstall Linux Lite also. But currently I'm interested in the question which version of qt is used with linux lite, because I got those error message under Linux Mint, if I try to start Packet Tracer 7.0.

Back in the days of LL.2 both suspend and hibernate worked flawlessly on my desktop.


When I moved up to LL3 I lost the ability to Suspend but was still able to Hibernate . . . . . until the recent round of updates and now neither function works no matter what I do in power manager either option just switches the machine off almost instantly and I have to reboot from scratch next time I want to use the desktop.


Can anyone help in restoring hopefully both, but at least one of the Suspend and/or Hibernate functions to my desktop please

About an hour or so ago, I used the Lite Upgrade option to upgrade to 3.4 from 3.0. Towards the end of the process and after reboot, the System Information and Update Status box at the bottom left corner of the desktop was there and it did read [b]Linux Lite 3.4[/b], then at some point it was gone. I rebooted but it still has not reappeared.

How can I get it back please?

Adding an application to "application autostart" in "session and startup" is declined.
The pop-up window says (translated, since my desktop runs in German):
Error. >>application<< can not be added. Impossible to write into file >>autostart/application.desktop<<
I am also unable to remove an application. When I close the window "session and startup" and reopen it again, the "removed application" is there, again.  >

Sorry if I am too far off with my translation above.

Hi,

I recently blogged about few easy tweaks that could help low-end PC or laptops feel even faster and more responsive when running Linux Lite and wanted to share it with you all.

Hope you find it useful.

Cheers!

I have an Acer computer that, when it had Windows 7 on it, came with proprietary nVidia drivers. Here's the problem. The Nouveau driver with Linux Lite doesn't work. When you open up a web browser the system freezes & the graphics go crazy. The legacy nVidia driver (304) that you can add is OK, but not great. Graphics look washed out. When I install Xubuntu 16.04, or 17.04 the Nouveau driver that comes with that system work perfectly. As it & Linux Lite are both Ubuntu based, can those drivers be added to the Repository? Or perhaps a better question is, do they work with Linux Lite? Here's the information on that:
Here is the Linux Lite Drivers:
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0-12-1build2
Libdrm-nouveau2 2.4.70-1 ubuntu 16.04.1

Here are the Xubuntu 17.04 Drivers:
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0-14-Oubuntu1
Libdrm-nouveau2 2.4.76-1

I have no idea if these drivers will work with Linux Lite, but as always, thanks for considering it.

I use an Epson Stylus Photo R285 printer with LL3.4. 
It contains six ink cartridges: 1 black + 5 other colours.

Until now, the only way of checking ink levels & identifying which ink cartridge need changing is to use the printer with WindowsOS.  Obviously this is unsatisfactory, as I'm when trying to move over to a WindowsOS-free system.

So how do I carry out printer ink management in LL3.4? 

Many thanks in advance for all your ideas & help.

Mike
