First a Thank you for any and all help. I am looking for the easiest fix for a few problems then Bodhi will be the last OS this computer see's. I like the simpleness and really don't want a bunch of extra stuff I can't use. I'm having issues with the default window size. Issues with the Button click on the keyboard. Connecting Bluetooth. Connecting Ethernet. The Default window size apparently is beyond the actual screen size so I would like all windows to open smaller. The button click on the right or left I don't care I just want the double click to open. I would like to know how to set the "window" key to either the "everything" or "power" button. I've downloaded everything bluetooth that I can. I get adapter errors, daemon errors and exiting of the programs. I have a Bluetooth device and when I try to connect via the USB to computer tethering I get the arrows like it's connected but it's not. When connecting via the Ethernet I get a light but nothing more. You might be asking. With all these problem's how did you get here. Well I'll give you the secret I was given. Instructions to get wireless drivers working. Download these files mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/b/b43-fwcutter/b43-fwcutter_019-2_i386.debwww.lwfinger.com/b43-firmware/broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2Copy them to your Bodhi (/home/bodhi) folder. Run in terminal sudo dpkg -i b43-fwcutter_019-2_i386.deb tar xfvj broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2 sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-5.100.138/linux/wl_apsta.o Reboot or run: sudo modprobe b43 I just reboot every time so far and it works so the modprobe b43 might do nothing but better safe then sorry. I would reboot if it were me. Open Wifi and sign in. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade. If we can fix the screen problem first I'll be able to send the correct screen shots. right now the window is about an inch beyond the actual visible screen. |

Hi
If you do alt and click on any part of the window you should be able to move and then resize it. Bodhi should remember the window placements so this only tends to happen the first time.

Should I go a better job at those Pictures I think I'm getting it down. Attachments:

Are you set for the appropriate resolution? I believe you should be 1366x768 but your screenshots are 1024x576. Settings Panel --> Preferences --> Arandr. after you set it, click the moksha button to save it to startup commands.
By default Bodhi is scales everything 20% bigger. If after setting resolution, things aren't too small for your screen size, you may wish to reduce scale factor. Try 1.0 first and see what you think. (Alternatively if they're too small after setting correct resolution, increase this; I use 1.6!).
Settings Panel --> Look --> Scale

I'm not super familiar with this, but it seems you can reset everything by selecting bodhi profile. Settings Panel --> Settings --> Profile
As you've observed, most windows dont start out very good sizes anyway, takes time to resize and move em and wont have to do it again. |

(Smiley Face) Just a few tweaks. Still no help with maybe the Bluetooth? I can't understand why the Ethernet is not working. From what I could see with my limited abilities the Ethernet mac address is set so it should be working and if I could get the Bluetooth to report the mac address I should be able to add a new network bluetooth connection with that. I think. I'm sure it something simple I'm just not seeing. |

It would be less confusing if you could start one thread for each issue and stick with it until resolved. As far as I can tell you do not have a wifi issue anymore, as the OP (original post) describes how you installed those drivers.
Perhaps start a new thread for bluetooth and use this one for assistance with your window position/scaling/resolution/screenshot issues, as those at least are somewhat related. What are you trying to do with bluetooth? As far as I know I dont think you've ever described a bluetooth problem or suggested what you're trying to do with bluetooth that isn't working as expected. Pretty sure I've responded to bluetooth questions you've had in other threads, as I recall looking up how to look up a mac address for you (something I've never had need to do and not sure why you are doing).
Same with ethernet. I dont think you've described that problem, but start a new thread and stick with it until solved.

This forum software only allows 3 attachments per post, and they cannot be added from quick reply, instead click 'reply' then 'add attachment'.
To attach more than 3 per post, I use a feature built into ephoto, which allows you to upload photos directly to imgur and get a link. After doing so, click the 'Insert image' icon and give it that url you copied from ephoto.

   I've not posted about my wifi other then to say how I fixed mine just in case another Dell Inpsiron Mini 1011 user was having the same issue. You should be able to connect via the Ethernet connection by default until you get the ot her things working as I understand it. So I don't need help with the wifi. I'm attempting to get everything working not for a designed reason. It's annoying that the Bluetooth and Ethernet are not working. What if I need them later. I don't want to switch OS any more so I just need these few thing's fixed. It show's up and even with tether it show's arrows as if the bluetooth is connected to allow use of my phone's connection and to transfer file's and it's not. Everything else is great |
