Hi folks I'm trying to see the contents of the xorg.config file so that I can edit it to cure my installed distro of the dreaded xfce bug which causes my hdtv monitor to lose it's signal to my modified chromebox every time I power cycle my hdtv off than on. My modified chromebox also loses it's connection to my hdtv whenever I switch the hdmi output from the chromebox to my cable box then switch back to my chromebox and that's when I lose the signal very annoying. I installed get-edid and read-edid on my system and this was the output:

This is read-edid version 3.0.1. Prepare for some fun.

do you have full superuser (root) permissions?
I'm sorry nothing was successful. Maybe try some other arguments
if you played with them, or send an email to Matthew Kern <[email protected]>.

Your EDID is probably invalid.

So as you can see the output at the beginning reads "Looks like no busses have an EDID. Sorry!" but then towards the end of it it retrieved some information about my hdtv. So what does this all mean does my system have an edid file which I think is supposed to be part of the xconfig file or is the xconfig hidden and thus protected. Please help me out here because if I accidently erased my xconfig file trying to clean my system then I'll have to recreate it by following Alexander Malakhov's advice in this thread : http://askubuntu.com/questions/21775...xorg-conf-file

I read in the Lite manual to defrag the drive before installing Lite. Was that meant just for certain type of installations?

I did the analyze thing and it says the drive (C does not need defragmenting.

Should I defrag anyway? There are a few red lines among the blue and the green (Window XP).

If you have an SSD, I'm not sure how much of a difference this will make.

Not sure how the NEW flag on posts is supposed to work and how they are removed .


When I look at " Show new replies to my posts" that have not had any new posts for years but have a red NEW flag . Even if I look at the posts they keep being listed . Some of the time when there are updates there is no notification  . If I suspect the is a new post I have to search for the original post in the Index or through my  Profile > Show posts

I can avoid Dell/Windows problems like this.

I hope this will inspire people to learn scripting. Simple scripts like these can speed up things and make life easier. Last one is a winner

Over the course of the next few weeks I'll be slowly adding some Google ads to various parts of the website, including the Forums. In terms of growth, I'd describe our current status as 'plateaued'

To get the hardware I need to test things like UEFI, to get us a dedicated web server, to add more services for people in the community, this is a natural addition to the project, no revenue - no growth. We've survived this long without it, but to get to the next level, we need to consider all possibilities.

Linux Lite will always be free.

I installed latest version of whisker menu and I can not succeed to make it transparent.
Can some one help?

Hi guys;

My Linux Lite 2.4 system has been hanging at boot.  So when I pressed F4 to see what the problem was it read " Starting Bridge socket events into upstart.

I searched for a possible solution and found a post by Stéphane Graber (stgraber) in the launchpad.net site that said that in order to resolve the issue I have to edit /var/lib/lxc/<container>/config and make it look like something like [this]:
"""
# Template used to create this container: /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-download
# Parameters passed to the template: -d ubuntu -r trusty -a amd64
# For additional config options, please look at lxc.conf(5)

# Distribution configuration
lxc.include = /usr/share/lxc/config/ubuntu.common.conf
lxc.arch = x86_64

# Container specific configuration
lxc.rootfs = /var/lib/lxc/YOUR-CONTAINER-NAME/rootfs
lxc.utsname = YOUR-CONTAINER-NAME

# Network configuration
lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.link = lxcbr0
lxc.network.hwaddr = YOUR-CONTAINER-MAC-ADDRESS

But how can I do that when I can't even boot into the damn system !
