  1.06 to 1.08 Worth Doing?
Posted by: leegold - 03-15-2014, 09:51 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

Is there a way to upgrade from 1.06 to 1.08 and keep existing personal files and config, like in some of the more "popular" Ubuntu flavors?

Is it worth doing? 1.06 seems stable and fast...

Thanks

  Realtek RTL8187
Posted by: leegold - 03-15-2014, 10:28 AM - Forum: Network - Replies (3)

I have a few wifi usb interfaces with this chip. And they never work in Linux when using laptops. I'm using the default network-manager [nm] and LL 1.08 in a laptop.

Also the usb wifi interface will only work if the wifi "hard switch" on the laptop switch is turned on, so then nm gives me a choice of wifi interfaces to connect with. I choose the Realtek USB and it all looks good but it will not authenticate - the password never works. With the laptop's built in wifi it works OK.

I have never been able to get any usb realtek 8187 wifi inferface to work in Linux with any laptop. Funny it seems to work with LL 1.06 on my desktop. I'm not sure if LL 1.06 works better for this or it just that it's not a laptop...haven't tested 1.06 on the laptop but will soon. I seem to remember much older versions of Linux working better w/this chip.

Is there any way to get this chip working? It all looks OK but never connects. WPA2 personal...

This has been going on for years and I can't figure it out.

Thanks

  Wifi Driver Driver Works in Linix Lite

I just wanted to say how good it is that the USB Wifi Interface Realtek 8187L works OK in Linux Lite.

No it does not. Thought it did. After installing 1.08 same problem with all other versions of Linux - will post in hardware section...

  How to install One Touch Software
Posted by: ohjrson - 03-15-2014, 05:48 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (5)

Hey all.
Just need to know or get some help with making the Lifescan software One Touch Software work for my Diabetes Glucometer. I have tried to install it using Wine but, it was telling me that the file it was trying to load was corrupted or something. I tried several times to make a fresh file like is said that I needed but that would not work either. Let me know what you need so I can tell you what happens....

Please...
Many Thanks.

  Menu muckup.
Posted by: uxli - 03-15-2014, 04:27 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (6)

I was making some changes in Main Menu and then didn't like what I had done so pushed the Revert button at the bottom right of that menu. However it did not revert to what was present in Menu (the button at left of panel) as in the original install, but to a lot of entries that where not there at install time. Is there a way to revert to the original installed Menu?

And in particular - so that I can install updates - get the Updates button back in that menu? I cannot find it.

  Changing file icons in file manager
Posted by: Alan_uk - 03-14-2014, 09:47 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

I've imported many Windows Firefox shortcuts and have managed to get them to open in Firefox after mashing several so called solutions. Happy to post the solution but would like to finish the job by changing file manager icons from default blank to Firefox icon.

I've spent the whole afternoon scanning the web and trying about 6 different solutions but none work. Has anyone solved this and can share the solution please?

  Monitoring the network?
Posted by: uxli - 03-14-2014, 09:15 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

I am on a small data cap and am wondering if there is some easy method for seeing/monitoring current network upload and download speeds in Linux Light 1.0.8. Also total down and upload since powering up would be nice.


Enjoying my experience with LL. Smile

  Demise of Users Groups
Posted by: Coastie - 03-14-2014, 08:38 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (2)

When I inquired about the only remaining Linux Users Group near me, I got the following response, "...IMHO long gone is the day of needing to meet in person where we trade the latest Slackware floppies ...." and they are primarily just an unoften used e-mail group. Today I received an e-mail that the nearby Mac Users Group had folded. The last time I visited the nearby PC Users Group is was barely hanging on and from the looks of its website is not very active. It use to be huge with lots of Special Interest Groups. There even was an OS2 Users Group here.

In the nearby retirement community, there is a fairly active PC Users Group with a Mac SIG. This group is probably still active for seniors just getting into computers.

Looks to me that forums like this have replaced LUGs, PCUGs, and MUGs. I glad the help is here but face to face meetings would still be nice.  :'(
