Dear Sir/Madam,

I have problem on reinstalling Linux Lite on Lenovo T400, unfortunately my external mouse is not working the reason I do not know, whereas it was ok at my previous laptop Dell Latitude 6420 which has damaged totally. I shell appreciate if any body can guide me to solve this problem.

Thanks and regards

Recently my Windows 10/11 box running Edge shows what looks like sans fonts and some serif fonts on the forum. Edge running in Linux Lite shows all sans just like Firefox. I'm assuming a Windows quirk but the miserable apostrophe quirk only exists on this SM forum so maybe the whole thing is still buggy. Forums on Debian and Bunsen are consistently the same with both browsers and Windows, LL, Debian and BL OSs. Just a comment not a complaint. I've researched the apostrophe de-limiter problem but given the deployed script source there really is no solution. Sometimes code shortcuts don't workout as planned but I don't get how the SM developers could overlook something so obvious.

Issue : h.264 hardware decode does not seem to be working.
Driver : Nvidia 340.108  recommended driver from the tools.

CPU : T9500 2.6 ghz

Memory 6 Gb.

I would like to use the hardware decoding built into the video card. Everything I have read states that this card supports it.
However when I run steam remote play I see its on dedicated software decode.
When I run firefox I see software decode on youtube videos.
Any application I have seems to be running in software mode. I have tried installing libva packages but no luck.

Does anyone have any hints on how to get this to kick in properly?

Bonjour,
J'ai installé linux lite pour essayer de sauver mon pc portable qui ramait terriblement avec windows 10, et ça fonctionne mais ça reste assez lent.
C'est normal ? ou est ce qu'il y a quelque chose que je peux faire pour améliorer la situation ?
J'ai 4Go de ram.
Merci d'avance !

I created these using an app on my phone.

Hi

Just tried to download and install updates but got the following:

===========================
Install Updates Error log

Install Updates could not successfully download and install available updates.
Go to https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/ and paste the log below into a new or existing thread for assistance.

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.


... should I just enter "dpkg --configure -a" into the terminal emulator, or is that just tooo obvious?

TIA!

Hello, I tried to install Linux Lite 6.0 RC1 with LVM and luks encryption enabled, but when I first started it, it dropped to a initramfs prompt instead of prompting for the password to decrypt the luks partition.

Then I checked if initramfs was including the dm-crypt.ko module, but found out it was missing.
In the end I realized the package cryptsetup-initramfs was missing from the distribution, and in order to fix the issue I had to launch the live iso, then manually mount the encrypted root partition and chroot into it, and finally install the package cryptsetup-initramfs manually.

So please check if the package cryptsetup-initramfs is included on installation.

Hey, everyone.

I'm very new to Linux in general and forums as well, so if I'm going to make a lot of mistakes here, haha.
Anyway, I'm going to attempt to be more specific about my issue.

Basically, upon a fresh installation of Linux Lite 5.8, and kernel version 5.4.0-109-generic.

My goal here was to connect my bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mouse to my linux system and generally stay connected for continuous use, but what ends up happening is that upon a fresh install of this linux version, I can identify, connect to, select as a trusted device, and pair my mouse just fine. Then the keyboard appears and lets me connect, trust, but not pair. This usually manages to work for a while, but when I restart the pc, the mouse remains connected and functional, but I have to reconnect the keyboard. This also remains working for a while, but my bluetooth manager crashes and I lose all control over my bluetooth devices. When this happens, I either a) cannot even open the bluetooth manager; it acts as if it will open, but then stays frozen, which linux then offers to force close it, or b) I can open the manager, see my devices to connect to, but I cannot pair nor connect to them. A pairing failed message will appear when trying to pair and a Connection Failed:  Connection timed out appears when trying to connect. However, sometimes the connection message changes and says a different reasoning for the failure to connect.

This seems to be my bluetooth device:

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0a5c:21e8 Broadcom Corp. BCM20702A0 Bluetooth 4.0


When I use the command (below) in the terminal, this is what pops up. I see an error and then something about unknown packets and corruption handles.

The only other things I have downloaded are: visualboyadvance and znes emulators.

If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate your time. I am eager to share more information and the like if necessary.

Its about a question that appeared on #ubuntu:matrix.org
Why are templates on "right click -> create document" empty? New users get pretty confused with this. Maybe there could be added some basic templates for .txt .odf and etc at least.

Howdy,
The last update to Thunderbird mail on Linux Lite changed the time format to military time, though I've been on the Thunderbird help forum and there are only a couple of threads on the subject.  I've followed the directions given but still end up with military time, my LL OS is set to civilian time central United States so I don't think that is the issue, has anyone else encountered this problem and if so know a fix?

best regards,
Vint
