  HP Laser Jet M102W
Posted by: bitsnpcs - 04-12-2017, 12:46 AM - Forum: Printing and Scanning - Replies (1)

Hello,

I have tried to install the new printer and have not been successful in Linux.

I have downloaded and follow these instructions exactly.
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/ins...index.html

As well as it having totally vandalized my panel, menus, and desktop with an array of icons, folders, logs, files, none of which seem to be of any use to me.
It also does not print anything, throwing more errors than the height of my monitor, so it over lays them to make them fit etc.

Has anyone know how to getting this working ?
Additional - If it can work, how to tidy that mess of install up.

Update - I found I can delete the desktop files and folders and the panel icon.
Uninstalling HPLIP did not remove its whiskermenu wording only the icon next to it. The HP uninstall procedure leave a large number of files on the system according to the search results.

  How to enable/disable the touchpad when connecting an external mouse?
Posted by: estelondono - 04-11-2017, 03:40 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)

Hi there everybody!
I'm trying to do something so mi laptop disables the TouchPad when I connect the external Mouse and enables it again when I disconnect the mouse. So far I got the bash script for each action.
Searching the web I discovered that with udev I can do that. But so far it doesn't work. So I come here for some help.
NOTE:
I have to say that I had to change systemd with upstart and lightDM with SDDM in order to make Linux Lite work in my computer (with Ubuntu, my computer only works with Kubuntu and upstart). Unfortunately I'm not that an advance user to explain this, but it just works this way.
Ok, now that everything is explained here comes the things I've done:

First I create the scripts to disable the touchpad

Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Get the id number of the touchpad.
tp_id=`xinput list | grep -i touchpad | awk '{ print $6 }' | sed 's/id=//'`
xinput disable $tp_id

and the script to enable it
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Get the id number of the touchpad.
tp_id=`xinput list | grep -i touchpad | awk '{ print $6 }' | sed 's/id=//'`
xinput enable $tp_id

I made the rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-personal.rules:

* Sorry to place an image. For some reason if I write the text here the forum doesn't let me make the post.

I restarted my computer but when I connect/disconnect the external mouse the udev rules don't work. The system recognize the mouse and it works ok. But it appears that the udev rules are not "charged".
What I am doing wrong?

  Cannot make wifi hotspot
Posted by: stuart2611 - 04-11-2017, 03:32 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (3)

Hi there,

I have tried to make my HP Probook a wifi hotspot.  I have previously tried the unbuntu forums and other methods for achieving this.  Everything seems to go fine until I set the WPA password. Then the SAVE button gets greyed out.

I am really new to all this and any help would be appreciated.

  Coral red xfce menu icons
Posted by: bitsnpcs - 04-11-2017, 02:44 AM - Forum: Member Submitted Artwork - Replies (2)

Hello,

these are my first try at an icon, they are derivative XFCE4 menu icons I done, the original sized feather was made by "whateverthing", in this thread.

I used a copy of the current XFCE Linux Lite Menu icon, recoloured over the feather, cropped, flipped over, and rotated, whateverthing's feather, scaled for each icon, and shaded the surrounding background so it matched the current button 1 pixel by pixel.

Scott helped me find the current icons so I could try this out, and JmaCWQ helped me in where to place the new icons so they worked, in this thread

  IMPORTANT: Upgrade Bug fix for 3.0 and 3.2
Posted by: valtam - 04-11-2017, 02:33 AM - Forum: Security & Bug Fixes - Replies (7)

There have been a number of people reporting issues with Linux Lite 3.0 & 3.2 when trying to upgrade.

If you have already upgraded to Linux Lite 3.4, please check the following.

Open a terminal and do:

Code:
cat /etc/llver

If you have already upgraded to or are running Linux Lite 3.4 and it returns Linux Lite 3.4, you are NOT affected by this bug and you have nothing further to do.

If it returns, cat: /etc/llver: No such file or directory OR Linux Lite 3.0 OR Linux Lite 3.2 and you have already tried upgrading to 3.4, complete the following:

For people who tried to upgrade from Linux Lite 3.0 open a terminal and do:

Code:
wget http://repo.linuxliteos.com/patches/patch-llver-30 && chmod +x patch-llver-30 && ./patch-llver-30

and follow the onscreen instructions. It will ask you to run Lite Upgrade again, you must do this. You need to be Administrator as the patch will ask for your password.

For people who tried to upgrade from Linux Lite 3.2 open a terminal and do:

Code:
wget http://repo.linuxliteos.com/patches/patch-llver-32 && chmod +x patch-llver-32 && ./patch-llver-32

and follow the onscreen instructions. It will ask you to run Lite Upgrade again, you must do this. You need to be Administrator as the patch will ask for your password.

Thank you to all those who reported issues. This shows just how important it is to report issues, even if you think they are minor. Everyone benefits, so thank you Smile

Look forward to your feedback.
