  Upgrade 2.2 >> 2.4
Posted by: Josef - 04-19-2015, 10:15 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (3)

The 'new on-board upgrade feature' seems to have some hiccups to upgrade an existing version and to take care about the home directory. Perhaps only the help-text is imprecise...
So please advice what's the working procedure to upgrade 2.2 > 2.4 if there is any yet or to come soon!?
Are there any consideration regarding a 'Rolling Release'?

  networking question
Posted by: rbagwell - 04-19-2015, 07:22 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (11)

I have two dual boot ( win 8.1 /Linux Lite ) machines side by side - I can access shares on either with Windows or the Linux machines with the Windows BUT I can't figure out how to share between the two Linux boxes - Dolphin or Konqueror ask for passwords which I don't know.

How can I set up the two Linux boxes to share drives with each other ?

Thanks

  error virtualbox
Posted by: TMG1961 - 04-19-2015, 10:55 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (10)

When i start virtualbox and startup the virtualmachine i get an error.

Code:
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv.
Please reinstall the kernel module by executing

'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root.
If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first.
This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.

Added some terminal outputs:

Code:

Hi there,

I note this video from your friend.
https://youtu.be/zTTM9K7cmek?t=16m38s

about making bountysource a very good way to increase progress on this OS.

Please could you setup a github page and setup an issue list so that I can give to 'issues' for the next version of LinuxLite.
Thank-you. Big Grin

PS If you don't know what Bountysource is, then watch this video .. http://bit.ly/Bsource

  Shutdown Problems and/or Sluggish System w/ AMD Graphics?
Posted by: gold_finger - 04-18-2015, 05:16 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (2)

If you are experiencing shutdown/logout problems and/or are experiencing unusually sluggish performance when trying to perform certain tasks (eg. using "gksu" to run a gui program as root) and have an AMD graphics card, below is a possible solution.  (These types of problem do not apply to all AMD cards -- just a few.  So if you are not having any problems, leave your system alone.)

Big thank you to member N4RPS for finding and posting this solution.  Here is the original post he made while helping someone here on the forum.  Below, I just copy/pasted everything he wrote in that post to here so that people can easily find this if it applies to them.  (If this post helps you thank N4RPS, not me.)

Hello!

With some help from its creator, I was able to successfully complete the procedure documented in the YouTube video.

I created your script on the desktop, and made it executable. So far, it seems to work right away, This is very good, because in an actual install, the action button is just as slow to respond as the Whisker Menu is. Additionally, the gksu/gksudo command, or anything else requiring root password (except terminal sudo/su) takes 30-40 seconds to appear after being called on.

(04-10-2015, 05:45 AM)misko_2083 link Wrote: Just remembered, it could be the AMD Graphics driver. Are you using propriatary  or free drivers?
UPDATE:

It IS a driver issue with certain AMD Radeon HD video cards!. As I see it all, seem AMD, the X11 folks, and XFCE are blame-shifting the whole thing back and forth. Meanwhile....

The Full Story: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...ug/1319220

Let's see... I had figured out that X11 had something to do with it - specifically, X11 as XFCE uses it. Misko's reference to the video driver was the missing piece of the puzzle.

If you're affected by this in LL and XFCE, creating the following file should fix it. If the fixes the OP's issue, then I guess this one can be flagged as SOLVED.

Code:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
Code:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf

Copy  the following lines, and paste them into nano with [SHIFT-CTRL-C]:

  Section "Device"
      Identifier "Radeon"
      Driver "radeon"
      Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
  EndSection

Press [CTRL-O] then [ENTER] to save, and [CTRL-X] to exit. Reboot. For me, LL is now as snappy as it ought to be!

If  anyone doesn't know what kind of video card they have, as you see below, if the output of

Code:
sudo lshw -c video

says AMD or ATI, please reply with the model number. This way, we can get an idea of which models are affected - and which ones aren't. We already know that Radeon HD 8250 is, but Radeon HD 6320 is not...
END UPDATE
Not sure, but it just MIGHT be the issue:

rob@N4RPS-3135-LL:~$ sudo lshw -c video

30-45 seconds later...

  *-display             
      description: VGA compatible controller

On my Samsung, which has no latency issues, this report also took a bit of time to generate. IT has a Radeon HD *6320*, and the width is *32 bits*. Same driver  - radeon. (I wonder if THAT could have something to do with it?)

I sure hope an overall solution is out there for this. These long delays are going to drive me to forget about running LL on this particular netbook...

  Change wallpaper?

Sorry if this has already been covered.
How can I change the wallpaper to one of my own photographs?
Thanks.

This is just a fine tweak for me because LL is running great now. ;D
