Hi folks,

I have an interesting issue crop up this evening.....I was changing out my dual screens and switching them around. Everything seems fine with all apps excepts one wine app i run. For some reason, after the splash comes up on the main monitor, the application never shows up. It is visible in the task manager as running, but is not visible on either monitor. I have tried shifting the monitors around in the Nvidia set to try and find the app, but cannot locate it.

Anyone have some ideas had to get the app back on the main monitor.....or at the very least force wine apps to run on the main monitor, so I can find this app? ???

Thanks.

Ken

Just as a matter of interest, do the gurus behind each distro ever "talk" to each other. I get the impression that in some areas LL is having to reinvent the wheel as it were? My usual comment that the default set up process for Mint & Puppy  means that keyboard & Language work straight off, and the problem with Google Earth and video card drivers does not raise its head.  This is not meant to be a criticism but  hopefully a helpful prompt??  Says he who has never coded anything in his life

Some devs do communicate with each other, remember linux is all about choice. It's a catch22, unify and seek common ground and users will benefit (self explanatory), keep the status quo and the users benefit (give people options). Continued discussion on this best suited to On Topic.

Windows 7 64bit installed on laptop, installed Linux Lite 64bit and all good. Boot Laptop and grub comes up with LL and Win7, can boot either. What I would like to do is to be able to boot to the Windows boot screen and select either Windows or LL. I have EASYbcb 2.2 installed under Windows but can't seem to configure it to be able to boot from the windows boot screen. I know how to restore the Windows MBR but obviously don't want to do this until I can boot LL from the windows boot screen. Any help appreciated using EasyBcb or any other way to achieve my goal.. 

Hey, So I've been playing today a little with my Linux Lite



and I wanted to know, how to make the panel icons minimazable, or how else to say it.

What I want is. I want the panel icons work the same as the whisker menu works, I don't want any tabs (like the FireFox one in the picture), so the icons will be highlighted if the window is opened or minimized (as the whisker menu in the picture). Click the icon to open and minimize window. First click will open the new window. Right click > new window to open second window.

Something like Unity's left panel. And its pinned icons.

I know it's possible, but it will be hard to do probably. Docky is not exactly what I want.

Thanks.

Me again.....I have noticed that it seems that syslog is missing on LL 2.2 and at least 2 machines built recently. My desktop has a syslog in the VAR/LOG/ folder, but it is empty and dated back in November of last year.

What happened to the logging that posts to syslog, as it is needed for some troubleshooting of other software? ???

Thanks,
Ken

I formated drive started to install 2.2 from ISO 32 bit seem be going OK till making user.

On floating box Creating User blue bar gone seven blocks across and stored moving. Been sitting there for about 30mins.

The mouse pointer round is still spinning.
What should I do
Start again reboot box?

Thanks.

To add ISO is loaded on usb not dvd I used to unpack ISO UNetbootin.

Hi folks,

I just recently installed an old Nvidia GeForce 8400 dual head video card in my LL 2.2 machine and am loving the extra space. However, this morning I tried to access virtual console 1 (Ctrl + Alt + 1) and just got a blank screen. I have an application that runs in the background full time on that virtual console, and I could not see its status. I then tried the other virtual consoles with the same results.....no terminal prompt, just a black screen.

Is there an issue with accessing virtual consoles when using multiple monitors??? This always worked fine when I was using a single screen....

Hello

Just installed LL on my netbook, and I love it, but there is one thing I cannot live with. Looking at this forum, and many others, but cannot find a solution. Maybe, and I hope, there is!

So after putting the lid down of my netbook, or putting it to sleep manually. I cannot see it woken up.

There is a black screen, no mouse cursor, but there is hdd movement. (the led is blinking).
Sometimes, after more than 5 minutes, the login screen appears again. (but that can be because I clicked something in the black screen.)
