i'm using Linux Lite 5.0, there is no "lite Upgrade" to upgrade within a series.
linux lite 4.8 has it in settings, but not 5.0.

i have a desktop 64bit computer.
plus in Power management, i set my computer to go blank after 15 minutes, and it wont do it, my computer monitor stays on, and yes the setting is in the on position.

the computer down stairs has Linux lite 4.8(64bit) and the "power Management" works fine.

I have a strange problem. I use an older computer that I have upgraded to store all of my videos. All are played with VLC as per Linux Lite software.
If I open any of my MP4 videos,the first frame is shown and never plays any moving video images.The first frame stays on and the audio plays in a normal manner. Any of my videos will play on my other LL OS computers with no issues.
This computer does not have a built in video port, the output is on the GeForce card. Nothing in BIOS shows a selection for graphic outputs. Resetting BIOS does not help. MB has latest drivers/firmware.
Any video on Youtube plays just fine.

CPU Q9650 @ 3.00 Ghz

After a bad Plasma Package Installation, I got messed up with my laptop: The apps that require passwords cannot open, except for Chrome. Do you have any solutions for me? Thank you very much.

I hope this is the right place
can anybody help me please? I get this message when updating
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
I then try to get superuser privileges  sudo=superuser do  and get message
do command not found
bit lost sorry!

One of the most common problems you face after installing Ubuntu is the network problem. Sometimes you won't have a wireless network in Ubuntu and sometimes a very slow wireless connection and sometimes it will fluctuate between fast and slow. If you're lucky, it could be fixed by installing proprietary drivers on Ubuntu, but overall, you'll be furious, cursing for a slow or no WiFi connection.

Speed ​​up WiFi on Ubuntu Linux
This article was originally written for Ubuntu 13.04, but is also applicable for troubleshooting slow network issues in Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 14.10, and Linux Mint 17.
In this post, I will only focus on fixing slow WiFi problem in Ubuntu 14.04, Linux Mint and other similar operating systems. This actually consists of several little tricks you can try to get WiFi faster. So, let's see how to fix slow WiFi in Ubuntu:

Solution 1: For slow WiFi on Atheros wireless network adapters
First, you need to find your wireless network adapter. You can do this using the lshw -C network command in the terminal. If your adapter's manufacturer is Atheros, this solution should work for you.
Open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T in Ubuntu) and use the following commands one by one:

I sweat his
echo "options ath9k nohwcrypt = 1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf

This will add the additional line to the configuration file. Restart your computer and you should be ready to go. If it doesn't fix or if you don't have the Atheros WiFi adapter, try other solutions.

Solution 2: disable 802.11n
The next trick is to force disable the 802.11n protocol. Even after so many years, most of the world is running 802.11a, b and g. While 802.11n provides better data rates, not all routers support it, especially older ones. Disabling 802.11n has been observed to help speed up the wireless connection in Ubuntu and other operating systems.

Open terminal and use the following command:

sudo rmmod iwlwif
sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable = 1
If you don't find a significant increase in wireless connection speed, restart your computer to reverse the changes and forget about this solution. BUT if it worked for you and you now have faster WiFi, you should make the permanent changes using these commands:

I sweat his
echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable = 1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

Restart your computer and live your life at full speed.

Important note:
If you are using a version earlier than Ubuntu 12.04, use the above steps with iwlwifire replaced by iwlagn.

Solution 3: fix the bug in Debian Avahi-daemon
The slow WiFi problem in Ubuntu could also be related to a bug in Debian's Avahi-daemon. Ubuntu and many other Linux distributions are based on Debian, so this bug also spreads to these Linux distributions. To correct this error, you must edit the nsswitch configuration file. Open a terminal and use the following command:

sudo gedit /etc/nsswitch.conf
This will open the configuration file in gedit so you can easily edit it in the GUI. Here, look for the following line:

hosts: mdns4_minimal files [NOTFOUND = return] dns mdns4
If you find this file, replace it with the following line:

hosts: dns files
Save it, close it, restart your computer. It should fix the slow wireless connection problem for you. If you don't check the other solution.

Solution 4: disable IPv6 support
Yes, you heard correctly. Let's go back to the previous century and worry about IPv4 just abandoning IPv6 support. It's perfectly fine because IPv6 is still in deployment mode and a significant number of ISPs don't even support it. Also, if it improves WiFi speed, why not, I say. To disable IPv6 support, use the following commands one by one:

I sweat his
echo "#disable ipv6" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
echo "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
echo "net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
echo "net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf

Restart your computer and it should do the magic. If not, try the following.

Solution 5: leave the default network manager and adopt Wicd
The slow or inconsistent wireless connection, in some cases, is also due to Ubuntu's own default network manager. I'm not sure what causes this, but I've seen people on the Ubuntu forums talking about this issue, especially on Ubuntu 12.04. You can install Wicd, a better alternative network administrator from the Ubuntu Software Center or from the terminal. For details on how to use Wicd, you can read my other article I used to find SSID of wireless networks in Ubuntu.

Solution 6: more power for the wireless adapter
This trick might be outdated and that's why I mentioned it at the end. At the time of Ubuntu 11.04, the Linux Kernel had a power management system. This annoyed some users with its wireless connection speed, as it sent less power to the wireless adapter and therefore affected its performance. As a result, the wireless connection would sometimes be fast and sometimes very slow. While this is likely to be fixed in later Kernels, systems running older Linux Kernel may still face it.

Firstly I know very little of the workings of Linux Lite. I installed V.3.2 (32bit) on my Acer Aspire One netbook in March 2017 and have had no problems, it just kept going! All credit to the team. However, a week ago Firefox stopped a video part way through and then refuse to load any further sites - unable to find server. I know that there was internet access as Dropbox updated while Firefox was sulking. After several reboots I decide to uninstall Adobe Flash as this was a recent addition - Firefox worked. However when I next tried a Linux update it failed with a message to send  the report to the Lite forum. Message is attached - unfortunately I have no idea what it means! Could someone please help by telling me what has gone wrong and whether there is anything I can do to repair my installation? Or have I got to go back to basics and re-install? In any reply please keep my first sentence in mind.

I am a novice user and I would be grateful if anyone can advise me regarding this message.


Many thanks for reading.

Hi,
I have "linelight-plugin" installed in LL 4.8, the icon is too dark for my desktop, it's not visible. I did change the icon but it won't show up, it's hard-coded (according to an old post in xfce forum, it seems difficult to change it) Is there an easier way to brake that code and have the new icon?
Thanks for any advise you might have!

Buenas dia a todos los Usuarios de Linux a nivel mundial en esta oportunidad les traigo algo d emi experiencia con este Hardware el cual esta dentro de una Netbook Intel Atom N455 de 1,66 GHZ 2 GB RAM Disco Duro de 250 GB tarjeta Intel Integrada 3150 Sonido Realtek HD 3 USB 1 Puerto LAN Pantalla de 10" y tarjeta Wifi Intel Centrino N100.

Este equipo lo he probado con varias Distribuciones hasta el momento las cuales tienen el Kernel version 4 en adelante hasta la 4.15 y dan el mismo fallo de desempeño de la tarjeta la cual no da el alcance correcto se modifico el Router para 20740 MHZ y Chanell 11 pero debes de colocarte cerca del Router para que la misma agarre se elimino el Network Manager por Wicd el cual es mejor y mas intuitivo sin resultados, se modificaron las IPV6 deshabilitandolas y ningun resultado optimo.

En varios sitios del Internet hablan sobre estos fallos de los kernels superiores a el 3 por tal motivo he descargado una Distribucion que usa dicho Kernel 3.6 para probar la conectividad y ver si la misma se resuelve las Distribuciones escogidas a tal fin son Point Linux y Proteus o Slackware.

Gracias
