Hi All, as you can tell from the name I'm escaping from my old and trusted XP OS as Microsoft are going to let the old 'lady' get ravaged by the hoards of ravaging hackers at the end of March. I'm sorry to say I have absolutely no idea of Linux systems so I may be begging for help for a while as I get up and running - hope you will put up with me.

Chrome browser crashes all the time, with different errors. Like this: ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(185)] Gtk: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -2147483648 and height 1019

What can I do, except to use firefox browser?

I tried to listen to Pandora, but they say I need to upgrade my browser or install a version of Flash newer than v10.0.

This is what in the systeminfo log for Flash:
ii  flashplugin-installer                  11.2.202.336ubuntu0.12.04.1             Adobe Flash Player plugin installer

This is Firefox:
i  firefox                                27.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1            Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla

That looks OK to me. I've visited Youtube and have no problems there. Am I overlooking something??

Thanks for any help.

Hello, All!

When installing LL on my Samsung laptop, I noticed that the touchpad jumped all over the place.

I stumbled on a fix elsewhere which was rather hard to find, so thought I'd put it here, also. Here's what you do:

1. Open a terminal window with [CTRL-ALT-T]. Type or cut-and-paste this line:

Hello, All!

Just finished putting LL amd64 on my Samsung RV515 laptop. Had an issue with the volume control adjustment not functioning.

MY fix: Deleted installed volume control applet and installed it again from the Add menu - the one pointing to xfce4-mixer.
(Or one could just change the file that's called to 'xfce4-mixer' in Properties.).

The BEST fix: Click on the link in the reply...

The audio worked out of the box - it just wouldn't let me turn the volume up or down. The audio never worked at ALL in Lubuntu (LXDE) on this pup!

Hope this helps someone on down the line!

Hi.
I have Linux Lite installed alongside Vista Ultimate.
I have installed the drivers for our printer, a Brother DCP-135C, unfortunately the print image is not in the correct position on the printed page.
The printed image is so high that when using Times-Roman 12 font, only half of the top line of text is printed on the top edge of the page.
The  header/footer and margins are appropriately set.
Does any one have a suggestion?

Regards...

Hello.

My laptop seems to get quite hot during use and the fan doesn't seem to kick in as it used to when I ran Windows.

I've googled the problem and it seems quite a common problem with Linux. I'm hoping some one here can help me out.

I have an HP DV6 Pavilion. The fan is OK as if I shut down Linux, reboot, and break into the BIOS, the fan starts up as it used to in Windows and attempts to cool things down.

Thanks for any help.

After installing the last round of updates, I lost my extended desktop, and when I try to open Catylist, I get a message that no supported card is installed. "Install drivers'" comes up with a blank window, while my Radion HD4200 intigrated graphic chip shows if I run sudo lshw -C display in a terminal window. It is not listed under system information. HELP!
