I'm trying to play GZDoom on Linux Lite but I'm getting an error saying my OpenGL is not supported, and I'm getting a "Segmentation Fault", here's the terminal output:

Here's what I got when I put in "glxinfo | grep version":

OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 10.1.3
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.0

I would check the programs crash log, but I don't know where to look and the terminal output said one couldn't be made.

So what do I do? How do I fix it?

  Samsung N145 Plus - difficulty in configuring keyboard
Posted by: m654321 - 09-05-2014, 09:46 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (7)

I am having great difficulty in configuring the keyboard for my Samsung notebook (model NP-145 or a.k.a. N145 Plus). Several of the keys do not produce the character indicated on them.

The LL 2.0 Keyboard application only lists 3 Samsung models to choose from, and the N145 Plus is not one of them. 

I'd be grateful for any assistance with this. If this Samsung model can't be configured with LL2.0, do you know of any other Linux distros (preferably Ubuntu based) that might work - maybe some of you already have experience with this?

Regards
Mike

  Lite Tweaks - Suggestions welcomed
Posted by: valtam - 09-04-2014, 08:51 PM - Forum: Linux Lite Software Development - Replies (220)

Our next addition to the Lite application family will be Lite Tweaks.

Install:

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lite-cleaner

Source here: https://github.com/linuxlite/litetweaks

[Image: GTLdzXx.png]

Before we embark on this, I'd like to ask the community for the type of tasks they'd like to see in a cleaner.
For example:
  • Clean out package cache
  • Perform autoremove of packages no longer needed
Let the ideas flow. Remember, no idea is a bad idea Smile

  How do I remove Google Search Engine Bar from Mozilla Firefox?
Posted by: m654321 - 09-04-2014, 06:24 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

Firefox (or rather Mozilla-Firefox) is my default browser. However, when I click the '+' (new tab) on my Firefox browser, the Google toolbar appears, and lists any searches I make in my default Firefox! 

I'd rather not have Google at all, in any shape or form in Firefox.  Is it possible to remove it or is it inextricably embedded in Firefox.  Therefore, can I remove Google from my Firefox browser?  Is it possible using command line?   

Many thanks in advance for any help on this.
Kind regards
Mike

  Mobile Broadband Connection doesn't work (USB adapter Olivetti Olicard 300)
Posted by: tommy - 09-03-2014, 04:17 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (9)

Hi eveyone, i've recently bought a mobile broadband adapter, the model is "olivetti 21.1"
First i tried to setup the adapter using the native network manager, i added a new connection and i choosed "mobile broadband" as type.
In the next dialog window,(note that i'm not able to choose the device i want to use to create a connection), i go to the next steps then i complete every step till the end of setup but my usb adapter doesn' connect. (The light on the usb is green which means the sim and the signal are ok).
[Image: Screenshot_09032014_05_32_09_PM.png]

As second try, i've googled for something similar to my problem and someone seemed to fix the issue unistalling modemmanager, (so did i) and using sakis 3g, but i can't connect even with it, as after settin up modem and choosing the interface #2 the program prints out "modem respondend ERROR while checking for PIN"
[Image: Screenshot_09032014_05_53_13_PM.png]

[Image: Screenshot_09032014_05_55_56_PM.png]

When i plug in the usb adapter the OS doesn't mount it and apparently it's not possible to do it, so i'm thinking the problem is linked to this. Here i post my lsusb output:

Code:
glisbu@glisbu-laptop:~$ lsusb
