  Wifi & LAN connected by no internet (after cleaning fan). Bios clock related?
Posted by: jam_27 - 02-19-2022, 01:13 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (2)

Hi,
I have got Linux 3.8 32 bit on my Vaio VGN UX1XN.
I decided to open the unit and clean the fan.
I put the machine back together after a week and fired up the OS at which point I noticed that I there was no internet connection even though the wifi is showing connected.
Upon checking the bios and the time was off so I corrected the time and restarted the machine still with with no internet (wifi still showing connected).
I then checked with a live distro and wifi and internet worked.
I have also checked with direct LAN connection. LAN gets connected but I cannot connect to internet.

So something appears to has gone wrong in the installed OS (perhaps related to the bios clock) and I would appreciate some diagnostic guidelines to fix the issue.

Thanks,
(I am not an experienced Linus user so please be gentle on me Big Grin)

  ~/local/share/applications/exo-file-manager.desktop wrong application in RC 6.0
Posted by: dihonomo - 02-18-2022, 03:05 PM - Forum: Security & Bug Fixes - Replies (1)

As the title says, the file (also in /etc/skel) contains the following:

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/lite-updates
Icon=liteupdates
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Categories=Utility;X-XFCE;X-Xfce-Toplevel;
OnlyShowIn=XFCE;
X-XFCE-MimeType=inode/directory;x-scheme-handler/trash;
Name=Install Updates
Comment=Get the latest updates for your computer

This leads to unexpected behavior when a program has a "Open Folder" function. I have renamed this file to lite-updates.desktop; a exo-file-manager.desktop file is already in /usr/share/applications

  Dual Boot Installation Fatal Error "Unable to install GRUB in /dev/nvme0n1p8"
Posted by: Alan_Wilts - 02-16-2022, 11:13 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - No Replies

Hi. I'm using dual boot for the first time. It's linked to trying out options on a new PC.


The boot mode is CSM as option 1 is to continue with Win 7. That's on a spinning hard disk, currently disconnected.

Option 2 is Win 10 and I've installed that on a 500GB nvme SSD as GPT


Option 3 is LL. I've been using that in a VM and on a laptop to build up experience and confidence.

When installing LL I added partitions /root, /home and swap on the SSD. I first got an error that "No "Reserved BIOS boot area"  so I added a 1MB grub partition. I then got the error: "Unable to install GRUB in /dev/nvme0n1p8"

Image 1 is the LL partition set up during installation

[Image: Install-Partitoning-lr.jpg]

image 2 is the partition table seen under Win 10 using Macrium Reflect backup utility.

I would like some help please on how to proceed.

Thanks for reading
Alan

  enable auto login doesnt work reply 2
Posted by: stevef - 02-16-2022, 09:58 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

Enabling auto login using the GUI method I used changed the file

/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

and put my user name on the line 'autologin-user='

Errors in this file if manually edited can cause lock out.

Sorry about starting a new thread - the option to reply appears to not be working for me.

I don't use auto-login but as an experiment, I tried

Control Panel
Lite Auto Login

Clicked 'Enable Auto Logoin'
Entered password
Accepted the disclaimer

Re-booted and was auto-logged in

Disabled auto login using the same path

  Enable Auto Login doesn't work
Posted by: george79 - 02-16-2022, 09:06 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

I've been trying to enable auto login for hours and it doesn't seem to work.
I perform all steps needed to enable auto login by clicking SYSTEM=>LOGIN SETTINGS=>ENABLE AUTO LOGIN and I get the positive confirmation at the end.
After restart I can see the login screen again. I tried to reinstall lightdm packgace but it didn't help.
Is there a place - the config file - where I can set this manually? How to check if the ENABLE AUTO LOGIN option is realy on or off?
