Thank you!

@Les Kerf :-
.....
I've uploaded the v7.0.3.1 LibreOffice 'portable' to my MediaFire a/c; this weighs in at a total of 286 MB. Since it's based around an already-compressed AppImage, it can't really be compressed much further.

Thanks for the new upload site. I clicked on it, I watched the ...

Re: Laptop won't wake up when lid is opened
I downloaded fossapup23v2 last night which solved the issue with waking up when the lid is opened. Will start a new thread about fossapup23v2.

Re: Laptop won't wake up when lid is opened
@Les Kerf - I agree with bigpup - if you're trying to enthuse your SIL about linux, Slacko 7 is dated (s15pup64 would be better). A newer kernel could help - I revised 7.0 - see post on wireless drivers. Or maybe try this fossapup64 update, more secure & more features - fossapup23 v2 - see: https ...

Re: Laptop won't wake up when lid is opened
Thanks again,
I will try this when I have access to the laptop this weekend.
I am trying to convert my Son-in-law to Linux, but he is having a few issues with his laptop; I typically don't see him during his work week.
I will keep you updated as things progress.

Re: Laptop won't wake up when lid is opened
.pet below is designed for bionicpup/fossapup for similar issue - may work.
After download, click on it in ROX-Filer (filemanager) & restart X. Then hopefully closing lid, counting to 10 then opening should work.
If not, /etc/acpi/actions/suspend.sh may need editing.
Sadly, the .pet did not ...

Thank you (and Bill) so much for this; I was able to successfully download and install new Epson drivers on my Son-in-law's Slacko laptop today using Bill's Eppi installer script. Very helpful.

Re: How to set up a SAMBA share, EasyOS to Android LG phone?
I believe I understand: "You do not have a Wifi network EXCEPT when you run a hotspot which becomes your Wifi Network in your home."
The references I made was under a different environment than yours. It was assuming you had a Wifi, router/PC, in your home that connects to your ISP.
Correct ...

Re: SAMBA share to Android
I forgot to add that the android phone is also used as a hotspot and is our only internet connection so the phone and the laptop are on the same LAN if that is the correct term.
