  Adding Menu Items
Posted by: Earthenware - 04-24-2015, 03:59 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (1)

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but how do I add menu items - and get them to show in the menu?

I added a group "Office" in order to manually add icons for Apache Openoffice. The Main Menu tool shows an icon for an Office group with a tick in the "show" column, but the icon doesn't show when I open the menu. I have restarted the machine since making the change.

Lite 2.4 32-bit.

  Pesky Keyring [SOLVED]
Posted by: Dart - 04-24-2015, 03:17 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

Don't know why I'm getting this issue with 2.4 but the sometimes the keyring just pops up regardless of what I'm doing... I could be using any program and up it goes. I always hit cancel and seems to put it to sleep. I remember the first time it popped up was when I first installed 2.4 a few weeks ago and entered my wifi pass... so my keyring is my wifi pass (odd)


Yesterday I was using LibreOffice and after 10 minutes the keyring appears. Today after 30 minutes online it popped up for no reason.


Is there anyway to just disable the keyring which seems redundant since there is a main pass to begin with and there is a seperate wifi pass too ?


The 1.8 version was not having this issue.

  SSD Trim test fails
Posted by: jcoles - 04-24-2015, 10:35 AM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (4)

The test_trim.sh test doesn't return the all-zeros result that it should. The sector data are unchanged.
I double-checked my fstab modifications, rebooted and retried the test script.

The SSD drive is a Kingston sv300s3. I'm running the 32-bit version of Linux Lite 2.4 on an Asus X101CH eeePC.

McDivot may be right that trimming doesn't happen automatically, you have to request it. I probably won't bother. The idea that my SSD might last longer was the motivation for trying the fstab mod.

Linux Lite is a fine distro, by the way.

  BIOS Clock Setting on Multiboot Systmes
Posted by: Kirkx - 04-24-2015, 08:34 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (2)

The following tip might be of interest to fellow forum members who run multiboot setups with different operating systems (Linux Lite, Windows, Debian, Arch, etc).

Windows and some Linux distros that target Windows market (Ubuntu and its derivatives, including Linux Lite) have the BIOS clock (hardware clock) set to be interpreted in local time while most distros targeting experienced Linux users have the hardware clock set to be interpreted in UTC. This can create a real mess unless you configure all OSes to use the same time standard, which in Linux world is UTC. Here is the link to Arch wiki that explains how to do it in Windows and Ubuntu (and Linux Lite):

  Will this work?...
Posted by: bzuzul13 - 04-22-2015, 06:13 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (4)

I have a relative who doesn't have a Ethernet  jack to her laptop and was wondering if a USB 2.0 Male to 10/100Mbps RJ45 LAN Ethernet Network Plug Adapter Cable will work.  She has a old netbook 1.6Ghz atom and 1 GB of ram

I was looking to buy something like this

  Install Linux Lite 2.4 from Huawei E3372 microsd card
Posted by: dmitry - 04-22-2015, 04:21 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (7)

Hi!

Sorry for my bad English...

I have а nettop Intel NUC DN2820FYKH (CPU revision Intel Celeron N2830) and 4G+ LTE USB modem (with microsd cardreader) Huawei E3372 (probable E3372s-153) [Russian brand of operator MEGAFON M150-2, firmware 21.286.03.01.209].

In my computer 3 USB ports (2xUSB 2.0 and 1xUSB 3.0): USB1: <- keyboard, USB2: <- mouse, USB3: <- 4G+ LTE modem.

Its not the Joke ;-) but I am try to install Linux Lite 2.4 64-bit from Silicon Power 8GB Class 10 MicroSD Card, inserted to this 4G+ LTE Modem.

MD5sum of ISO image is OK.

After $ sudo dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M I am reboot and enter to Intel Visual Boot Manager, and start Linux Lite Installer from MicroSD. All OK. System is loaded and I am enter to Internet from this same 4G+ LTE USB modem, and next I am try to install Linux Lite from his microsd to HDD. Installation completed successfully (some question maybe about downloading updates during the installation using 4G+ LTE mode).

Next I am reboot a computer (remove 4G+ LTE USB modem-stick and press Enter key or not remove and press Enter, the same situation) and loading Linux Lite from HDD is OK, but loading again from USB microsd card after rebooting is fail (input/output error) until again reflash the microsd (sudo dd).

Maybe microsd card data is damaged at the time of rebooting after installation of linux Lite 2.4 64-bit and how I can to solve this problem? If installed Linux Lite from USB stick and reboot -> all OK, maybe this feature of microsd card, cardreader & 4G+ LTE USB modem.

You put a smile on my face this morning so we're quits bro, one thing you rarely get with videos is good feedback, you sussed the bits that matter, the good quality video and small size!

If I put it into Openshot to it will be 10 times as big which is OK for utube but I put that on dropbox so I wanted to keep the size down.

That one was recorded with Vokoscreen which is developed by a German team for Debian stable but it don't run on Ubuntu 14.04 respins but on 14.04 you can use Simplescreenrecorder(SSR) which is equally as good but lacks the webcam bit at the moment.

I posted a link to a video on a forum a few years back from a live streaming webcam of bald eagles nesting in Vancouver, I posted it late evening and went to bed but when I awoke in the morning there were 4 pages of folk thanking me in the most profuse way, it brought a tear to this ancients eye.

Lots of folk only had dial up connections and they had never been able to see any video before.

I just installed simplescreenrecorder (ssr) and it works well. I have one audio query though. Bear in mind it's the first time I've used a screen recorder of any kind. When I record myself commenting on a youtube video with its audio playing, on playing back the ssr mkv file, the audio on youtube is so low I can't hear it. Other audio (ie me speaking) is fine. I've tried fiddling about eg increasing youtube video to max volume but it's still way too low even with laptop audio at max.

Any ideas?
