I'm stumped on this one. I'm trying to set up a network share on a friend's laptop. I've downloaded the Samba configurator. I created a folder under the user hierarchy, and I pointed the configurator to it as a share. It is writable and requires user credentials to log in.


The share shows up on my own LL machine, but I cannot log into it.


What's more, if I navigate through Browse Network on my friend's machine and go to the share in question, to access the folder I have to navigate the login dialog as if I were on an external machine. And the login fails just as it does on my own machine. It's as if the share were on a different machine. This user uses a password to log into the machine.


Something very basic is wrong here, but I fail to see what. I'm attaching the smb.conf file.

Hi,

I wanted to know if there is a way to edit the menu that comes up when the right mouse button is pressed on the desktop. I know how to alter the Whisker menu but not this one.

I did some searching but I didn't see anything, maybe I missed something ?

Anyway, suggestions or help would be great.

Thanks a bunch,

I'm not sure where to put this, but here it is.


I have been having font rendering issues since Day One. Especially the MS fonts were not doing well, particularly my favored Verdana, and especially in WINE and in LibreOffice.


I finally figured out that I should check my aliasing settings (at Appearance under Control Center), and after tweaking the aliasing to slight good effect I noticed the monitor was set to a custom dpi of 96. I unchecked that to bring it back to standard, and instantly the display cleared up. Even Verdana now is just as it was under Windows. The lessening of eyestrain is wonderful.


I don't know if the 96 dpi setting was intentional on my part or part of the LL default, but this was a major breakthrough for me.

Need to see this, and I thought we were fine without the need the need for an anti-virus program.

i use a collecton of pdf files on a teachers edition cd rom, where 1 pdf is a table of contents with links to a pdf for each chapter.  then each chapter page pdf has links to each chapter assignment pdf.  i cannot get a linux pdf reader to go through the links completely to get to the assignment files.

tried evince, okular, foxit, adobe 5.0 [useless] + 9.0 in wine, google docs, libreoffice 5.0, imagemagic

i don't need a pdf creator/manipulator.  i just want a pdf reader that works in linux lite with the ability to open the linked files, all of which are also pdfs.  can you please help?  i would really hate to be forced back to windows over an issue this simple.

which do i choose when installing software?
like this: 

Requirements: Qt 4.6.2 or later:

master-pdf-editor-3.5.81_i386.tar.gz
SHA1 = cc125fbba0cb521731044f560e42396a5515ae04

master-pdf-editor-3.5.81_i386.deb

master-pdf-editor3-3.5.81-1.i386.rpm
SHA1= 42c6f71e1857c75fcd9e2a268a82a50eab980da8

For first times yesterday and today, I tried to make a comment about a You Tube video. The first was about Linux and the second recommending Linux Lite. For some reason, they only show up if I am logged in on Google +. I have search for solution with DuckDuckGo, Google, and You Tube for the comments to be public. I even verified my Google + account. Nothing that I have found has worked.  ???

Any help solving this problem will be appreciated.

Works on my chromebook so not a hardware problem.  Unfortunstely  my Linux-Lite laptops I have to use a external usb/bluetooth dongle adapter. My Chromebook has a internal bluetooth card.


This is the unit: http://www.amazon.com/Skullcandy-Soundmi...B00NCD8WO8
exactly. Same color and everything. It was a Christmas present.



This is just a starter post so feel no need to reply. I have a feeling my problem is the bluetooth sending unit that uses a usb port for the interface. I will supply screenshots later on to show what errors out and what graphic errors say.


Jerry knows I am not afeared of command line or command syntax. I am starting this thread using my Chromebook because I 1st wished to make sure the speaker worked before starting this thread. Also starting this thread because the speaker unit is so new. No Linux documentation exists for it. I am not going to include the ChromeOS audio stream dump as it is miles long, and probably not relevant anyways.

I will respond at a later date my findings using Linux-Lite using this Skullcandy Soundmine Bluetooth speaker with Blueman and Bluez


Long story short without screen shots. Blueman sees the soundmine speaker. Pairs OK. But does not connect completely anyways. So no sound from it.
That is why I will include step by step screenshots with this thread when I am on my Linux Lite box.
Probably the wheeled on a portable table  Dell 755 wireless Tower I use in my shop.


So like I said. Do not feel a need to respond till I get my next post in with what I am trying on Linux-Lite. In detail.


Edit: Just tested on my Iphone 5S with IOS 9.2. Works on it also. Just added info for the thread. Not a comparison or whining.

Hi,

I have ThinkPad E540 and I'm getting more used to the TrackPoint but the E540 does not have separate mouse buttons and only the TrackPad for clicking so I can't deactivate it. I only want to use the TrackPad for clicking and maybe scrolling but not for moving the mouse. I tried turning the sensitivity all the way down but that does not seem to anything.

Thanks in advance for any help.
