Linux Lite 2.8 Beta Released

[darknetmatrix]

In Lite software there is a game-pack, can someone tell me what games there in?
Just asking this because i am not a gamer and my kids love to play a game once.

To ayman:

The brightness function works on 2.8 for me, but it is [Fn]+Left arrow or [Fn]+right arrow.

[Fn]+Up arrow or [Fn]+Down arrow controls the speaker volume.

You may want to check to make sure you have the right keyboard layout selected.

@ayman,

What make and model is your Laptop.??
I have seen/read some type's of IBM & Samsung have issues with certain F & Functions keys.

On my HP-15 TS
F2/3 Brightness Up/Down , F7 Mute , F8/F9 Vol Up/Down , F12 Toggle WiFi On/Off all work with no tweaks.

If this can't be resolved for you in oher ways, do what I did. My brightness keys work but I only get like 5 levels (should be 20). It has to do with Lenovos weird Fn Keys and the Intel graphics driver I can't use.

Install xbacklight:

Code:

sudo apt-get install xbacklight

Go to the main menu and search for keyboard, open the 'Keyboard' program and go to 'Application Shortcuts'.
Bind unused key combos to these to commands:

To increase brightness by 2% (I used [Alt] + [+(NumPad)])

Code:

xbacklight -inc 2

To decrease brightness by 2% (I used [Alt + [-(NumPad)])

Code:

xbacklight -dec 2

[ayman]

Finally It works

Fn (left arrow), Fn (right arrow)

after installing sudo apt-get install xbacklight
Thankx

For my Asus the brightness fn+f5/6 didn't work until I installed kernel 4.4.0, then works automacally

Today while installing a package in synaptic (Install/Remove Software), I noticed if you view details while changes are being made it shows the following.

Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks", at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Gnome.pm line 96, <> line 1.
Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks", at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Gnome.pm line 96, <> line 1.

Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks", at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Gnome.pm line 114, <> line 1.

I used the quick filter and searched for clearlooks and found the package "gtk2-engines" and installed it. After installing the package the above listed warnings no longer show when installing packages.

There is another warning that shows, but it is a bug in Ubuntu according to a google search I did.

gtk2-engines added to LL 2.8 Final. Thanks
