I am using Aptik.  When running a backup of the Software Selections, I get the following File Missing popup.  Is it possible to have the file they're referencing added?

  Workaround for Clementine Not Preventing Sleep (On AC Power)
Posted by: Duckeenie - 10-22-2015, 05:34 AM - Forum: Scripting and Bash - Replies (2)


Clementine satisfies most of my needs at the moment but it doesn't prevent sleep while playing,  which I find pretty annoying. To overcome this I pointed the application launcher to my first ever simple bash script.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
clear
xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/inactivity-on-ac -s 0
clementine
xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/inactivity-on-ac -s 15

I wanna see the Linux guru's follow this bad boy! Tongue

  Tale of Woe
Posted by: Colin23erk - 10-21-2015, 07:13 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

After a disastrous fortnight after being locked out of Windows 7 by Ransom-ware I now feel that it would have been better to have paid up rather than have all the difficulties I have encountered  trying to get my computer back to normal work  .
Summery of events



Tried changing Windows Password using various methods  - nothing worked
Reinstalled Windows - messed up Booting to Lite


Used Linux Boot Rescue Disk --  Lite boot Stalled


Saved Home on the understanding I could use it to get my settings back
Used USB drive to Install 2.6 assuming it would upgrade my 2.4  and allow Lite to load without Stalling
When I replaced the old Home in to Lite 2.6 my password would not work
I had to do a Reinstall using the USB drive .


Now I realize that I will have to load all my installed Programs and settings from scratch as the "Home" file does not contain any settings etc. Creating a /Home partition is virtually the same having a Data partition accessed by shortcuts in Home  which I did


Also I will have to setup  my programs and settings in Windows 7 --- Happy times


I would have saved a lot of time and anguish if I had simply reloaded Windows 7 then Linux-Lite without trying to mend anything . I had hoped Linux and its support community would have been able to help fix it . After having problems in my early days with Window I found s it was quicker to reinstall the whole OS rater than find and fix my problem


The only saving grace is I still have all my data in its own Partition

  Facebook pages for Linux Lite?
Posted by: Coastie - 10-21-2015, 06:03 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (2)

Jerry,

There are two Linux Lite Facebook pages for Linux Lite. The one which links from this form and homepage, Linux Lite http://www.facebook.com/linuxliteos and Linux Lite OS http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1070307445.

Linux Lite OS has this 2/28/13 post:"My name is Jerry Bezencon and I am the creator of Linux Lite. Welcome to our Facebook page." It also has Friend requests. The Linux Lite page does not. Not sure of difference but they must be two different type of Facebook pages.

Are both of these your Facebook pages?

  Main page - High CPU
Posted by: valtam - 10-21-2015, 09:51 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (15)

I've checked with our host, the main page of the Forums is causing high cpu on our web server. I need to get to the bottom of this issue and sort it out. Some of you may have experienced the '508 Resource Usage is high' message when loading the Forums.

The first suspect is the News block. This has been disabled for now and we'll see if that is one of the factors. Other features on the main page may be disabled in the course of troubleshooting and finding that exact culprit.

I have been using LL for about 6 months on a P-4 dual core PC, two older Dell Inspiron laptops and an Acer Aspire One netbook. I have found that LL installs nicely and runs rings around other OSes on these machines while being relatively easy for me to maintain. After installing 2.6 with it's wonderful new control center, I decided to register and offer my congratulations and sincere thanks to the development team for creating such a great Linux distribution. I have been using Linux for over a decade now and LL shines as the best distribution for my older hardware and it just gets better and better with each release.
'Glad the wildfires are over and that El Nino is delivering some much needed rain here.
Thanks again to Jerry, Misko, Johnathan, Brian, Bill and Adam who have created a great distribution and attracted a growing community and many thanks to all those who patiently answer our questions in these forums. Blessings to you all.

Greetings all,
Just thought I'd say Hi , I'm a new user of Linux-Lite - But have been using Linux for many years.  Thought I'd give it a try after reading the review on Distrowatch.  So far I'm very impressed.

  impossible booting after grub repair
Posted by: liltux - 10-20-2015, 09:03 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

Hello all,

I'm new to linuxlite, and I ran into a small problem, or I thought....
I had a little argument with my computer, and had to restore grub.
But by mistake, I checked an option ''purge kernel before reinstalling'' with ubuntu boot repair app,
and during the process, my laptop battery died, before the whole process could end.

So now, my system won't boot, I'm stuck on splash screen forever.
Ok, I could install it anew, but I have only one partition. my home folder I can access with a live
system on  CD or USB and I could backup my files.

But ... I spent many hours tweaking it to my linking and I was wondering if I could use
a live cd to boot, before chroot in and restore the thing?

Edit : more info on the problem
grub directory is almost empty, no image, no initrd, no vmlinuz.
So is there a way to chroot to this system, and rebuild everything in order to boot from it that any of you know of ?

Just registered on the forum and here to say hello all.
Have just installed Linux Lite after yesterdays review on Distrowatch and I'm impressed with it up to now. I particularly like the LL control centre and a big kudos to the developers for coming up with it.
I have used Linux on and off for nearly 20 years skipping between different distro's as the fancy took me. I was using Ultimate Edition 4.2 until I installed Linux Lite instead, before Ultimate Edition I was using Makulu. I also have some older PC's that run Puppy Linux and similar small distro's. I am also a big Commodore Amiga user and have several of those machines.
I thank you for your efforts on Linux Lite, I will get back to customizing my install now.  Smile
