Hi, Would it be possible to load the language, local time and keyboard, selected from the Labtix / Antix screen into the Mint installation? It would simplify a bit the tasks that we have to do to set the configuration. On the other hand, it would help for the default configuration of the guest user. I've checked and, every time I start a session as guest the configuration is set to...

Hi, I wanted to ask the community about two applications that used to be in the previous images and that aren't installed with the Linux Mint (or, maybe, I haven't found them): There was an application that allowed us to test the internal camera that usually come with the laptops. The same application should permit the students to use it. In the new versions I haven’t found any, so I’m...

Hi, I want to share with you a problem that I've experienced with an Acer Aspire Laptop that I've been sanitizing. It's not an older computer, quite the contrary. Before sanitizing, I removed the BIOS security and checked that EFI was the booting system. I first installed Linux Mint using Labtix-3 and the basic EN image. Everything seemed correct but, when booting from the hard drive, I got...

Hi, I'm preparing several HP computers for a trip to the Gambia. Right now, I've erased and installed Linux Mint (24_04_LTS_EN_BASIC) on two of them. I have experienced the same problem on both of them. When I boot from the Labtix 3 USB, the computer starts with resolution 1024x768. It's the highest resolution I can get with Arandr. After the installation of the O.S. it is, also, the...

Hi all, Labtix installer uses "shred" command to securely erase HDDs. I read that this command is not suitable for SSDs: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/593181/is-shred-bad-for-erasing-ssds Thoughts on that? Should the overwrite method maybe be changed? Gruß, Sebastian

Hi all, I just tested in Labtix 3.01 to start shredding the disk and then closing the lid. When I open it up after a few minutes, I see it has not progressed in the meantime. I think Labtix is configured to enter energy saving mode when closing the lid. Does anyone know how to change this to only switch off the display, but do nothing else? Thanks everybody!

Hi, there is a dootriper who asks how many laptops could he be allowed to carry to Chile and Colombia. He is going to Chile first and then to Colombia. Does anybody have any experience on these countries? Thanks

Dear all, I've only been a Labdoer for two months, and I've sanitized just a few old laptops. This is my first post in this wall as well. Last week, I got a donation of an EeePC with only 1Gb of RAM. I've installed Labtix 2 22_04_LTS_EN_160 and everything works fine regarding the hardware. The software works fine too, but it's extremely slow. For instance, it's very frustrating trying to...

We hope this can increase the performance of our backend server, which recently has been experiencing some slow downs. - Second, as some of you know, for the past year...

Recently I've been getting laptops where WiFi works in Labtix, but not in the installed image. This affects different manufacturers (Lenovo, HP, Medion). Are there any drivers that can be installed?
