| creating GPT partitions for a Windows / multiple distro booted system |

At the weekend I thought I'd experiment a bit with creating a GPT partition table, as sometimes I would like multiboot more than 4 operating systems which I'm limited to with the more conventional MBR partition table.
Using my Asus X71Q laptop (made in 2008, so predates UEFI), setting up several primary GPT partitions (more than 4) was straightforward enough using Gparted. However the problem came if I tried to install Win 7 or Win 8.1 on the first partition. The message came back that I was unable to install to a GTP partition. I find this strange, as on more modern laptops (e.g. Asus G750JS), Win 8.1 comes pre-installed on a GPT disk. So how did the manufacturers achieve this? I would be grateful if you could point me in the right direction.
I didn't have this problem when I installed LL2.4 to the first GPT partition.
Many thanks for any help with this.
Kind regards
Mike

| [SOLVED] How do I file-share between LL guest & LL host in Oracle Virtualbox? |

I have no problems setting up file sharing between a windows 7 guest in a LL2.2 host, using Oracle Virtualbox, having already done this a few times on different laptops.
However, when the guest is changed to a distro e.g. ubuntu 14.04, with LL2.2 host, I have problems setting up file sharing. The problem is something like this...
... the 'Guest Additions' appear to install correctly. However, when I go to...
Browse Network (within the guest) → Lappy → linuxliteshare,
a window opens up with a password request for linuxliteshare. However when I put my Administrator password in this doesn't seem to work.
Any clarification much appreciated.
Kind regards
Mike

Was trying to remove mugshot and name from top of Whisker menu and I think I somehow messed up something - I can't remove the generic mugshot - first I unchecked it @ properties settings...and after reboot was still there - I think I inadvertently deleted the profile name. If I click 'about me' in settings menu, I get nothing now. The generic mugshot is still there tho.
However, in the user manager' I'm still listed. still trying to remove the mugshot. Don't know if I need to re-install or recover something.

| Installing LL 2.4 over Ubuntu 14.04 |

A friend of mine has Ubuntu 14.04 installed on his ageing Acer laptop - it's going OK but he wants an OS that has a familiar "feel" to Windows XP or 7. I've mentioned LL and I'm going to suggest LL 2.4 32 bit to him. Can somebody advise the best method to fully install LL 2.4 on to his laptop? I was going to try a live USB first but I'm not sure how to go about it.
Thanks in anticipation.

| Context menu - image mount/unmount + virtual drive |

CDemu is an alternative for Windows apps like DAEMON Tools Lite.
Code: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cdemu/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cdemu-client
This should also install a gcdemu (a GUI for CDEmu DAEMON), if not, you can install it later. After installing CDEmu, it will automatically add a virtual drive to your system.
I found CDEmu already creates an entry in the context menu, co a custom one isn't needed.
CDEmu is a real virtual drive, and supports multi-track CDs.
You can use Jerry's tutorial below, if you need to mount a single-track images as a "file system".

Sorry to be a PITA, but the upgrade process clearly doesn't work for me, and I don't see how it even could. Here's a bit from lite-upgrade-series2. Note that it is executed without sudo. The first call it makes is MKDIRBUPS, again without gksudo. It tries to create a backup directory under /etc/skel, which is owned by root and is not publicly writable: drwxr-xr-x 21 1000 root 4.0K Dec 1 01:57 skel. So, it is either my permissions are off or the upgrade script is broken. I have everything updated and upgraded. What should I do?
Code: # Set functions for non-root execution
# The ones that need root go to the other file: lite-upgrade-system-series2
MKDIRBUPS() {
echo "#Creating back up directories..."
sleep 2
mkdir -p /home/$USER/.llupgradebackup/2.4
if [ "${PIPESTATUS[0]}" -ne "0" ]; then
echo "#Error"
sleep 2
zenity --error \
--title="Error" --text="There was an error while\nCreating back up directories!\nUpgrade canceled."
exit 1
fi
mkdir -p /etc/skel/.llupgradebackup/2.4
if [ "${PIPESTATUS[0]}" -ne "0" ]; then
echo "#Error"
sleep 2
zenity --error \
--title="Error" --text="There was an error while\nCreating back up directories!\nUpgrade canceled."
exit 1
fi
}

| (solved) LinuxLite 2.4 64bit Thinks it's 2.2 after update - Won't boot |

Hum
Just as it says in the Subject.
I was delighted with v2.2 but thought a fresh install of 2.4 (64 bit) might delight me even more. So I downloaded and installed it. Actually a full install into a 32g USB stick from the live version, using 'something else' - separate partitions for boot, root, home, etc.
It then booted just fine, calling itself 2.4 on the boot loader.
I then went to 'install updates' and did so. No errors reported. Unfortunately I then shut down and attempted to reboot. But Grub now showed v2.2. And, of course, it won't boot.
Now, folks, is it just me - or did one of the alleged updates bork the Grub file? Or something?
Do I need to install afresh (avoiding updates for a while) or is there something a not especially linux-knowledgeable guy can do...?
