I´m asking on behalf of a friend of mine. So I have limited access to her laptop´s specs, but I know some of them.
I want to help my friend set up Linux Lite on her laptop, which is a HP 15-db0400ng.
Originally it came with WIN 10 preinstalled.
That was a few years ago and as the laptop couldn´t handle WIN satisfactorily she wanted me to install Bodhi Linux.
In the meanwhile Bodhi has reached EOL and now she wants me to to install Linux Lite 6.4 on her laptop.
I remember back then there was a wlan issue. Bodhi didn´t seem to detect the built-in WLAN.
The problem is: my friend cannot find any ethernet cable despite the fact that she really should have one. :023:
Before tackling the task I just want to ask around:
What´s it like in Linux Lite 6.4? Does it (i.e. the kernel) by any chance come with a driver for it already preinstalled?
And if LL doesn´t support the device out-of-the-box: Is there a way of installing the driver without having internet connectivity available beforehand, i.e.: off-line?
It would appear I have Linux Lite 5.4, which I run as LiveCD. Is it possible to update the Firefox to version 110? Online banking site will not play nice with any lesser version. I'm aware such changes will not persist on the DVD. If it is possible to update Firefox (to the required version) without CLI stuff, I would need a step-by-step guidance, as my skill with Linux begins and ends with getting a LiveCD to boot, and getting Firefox onto the net. Already tried Linux Lite 6.4; it failed to boot. Thanks.
The Network icon appears disconnected in some instances, especially in virtual machines.
The fix:
Code:
sudo exo-open /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml
or:
Code:
sudo mousepad /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml
Your file may look similar to this:
Code:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# For more information, see netplan(5).
network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
ethernets:
enp0s3:
dhcp4: yes
change it to:
Code:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# For more information, see netplan(5).
network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
so, remove the last 3 lines.
Reboot.
Don't do this if your network icon appears normally, yet you still have the additional 3 lines in the above mentioned file. Leave it as is.

Hi, new to the Linux world here. I dunno if this is a correct place to ask this question. I have been using Lite for a week and so far is great.
On the windows i could resize and snap active window to one half of the desktop by pressing "command key + arrow". Is there a similar function available here?
Hello,
I run the local CoderDojo (coderdojoperugia.com) and we use Scratch 3 (Desktop) on the computer of the kids. Because very often we make our labs in places where there isn't any internet connection, we use the desktop software and not the website inside the browser (scratch.mit.edu).
I saw that some distro of Linux has access to the standalone version of the Scratch3 software... By searching into the repository, I only find "Scratch" (the oldest version).
Is there anybody here that knows if there is some way to installa Scratch 3 on Linux Lite?
It will be great because I see that this OS looks very good and I am using it in an old computer with a very slow processor... but without any problem.
Thanks!
I am facing error in updates towards Linuxlite 5.8, for your convenience I am displaying the error log below:

Google Gmail attachment containing simple text message & Iphone "motion" photo.3gp.
Clicking the photo invokes VLC which causes the entire screen to go black. Power OFF works fine !
Removed crash-prone VLC, added Mplayer, problem solved.
This is F.Y.I. However, I'm curious, [size=78%]whenever this happens, I question the sender about the ".3GP". [/size]
The answer is always the same "What 3GP ?".
Is this something generated from the cell_fone ? from Google ?
ALSO, please notice "whenever this happens---" has reduced font size to 78%.
I did not do that. When I previewed this post, the size=78% was added. :046: [size=78%] [/size]

hi! im not sure if im posting in the right place , but hoping i am. i know you guys are busy & not trying to waste anyones time . I recently was able to install linux lite on this old dell 11 3120 chromebook . it had reached "end of life " according to google . This is an older chromebook & came out before you could get the google play store on them and before they started including the ability to install linux on chromebooks , so the capabilities were severely limited in using the chromeOS . anyway the laptop itself was still in great shape , so i decided to try linux on it . i bricked it twice , by following other forums & trying the recommended linux operating systems, so by the 2nd time , i had a useless laptop & decided to try linux lite , since this is the one that ive always used & had success with . i apologize if my post is duplicate , ive tried searching , but cant find anything & all other forums related to chromebooks , all seem to still have the chromeOS or the "crostini" terminal , so i want to emphasize that this laptop no longer has any part of chrome OS , its all been wiped . its strictly linux terminal , which is great with me . ive only ran into 1 issue & reaching out because im sure you guys will know the commands to use in the terminal to get sound on this laptop . i even have the speaker icon in the tray , everything works beautifully , except that i have no sound ,ive clicked on the "audio mixer" & tried everything there . i have tried many other versions of linux trying to convert from windows , linuxlite has always been the only one thats ever worked out well . thank you for reading / responding or any help you can send
