  (solved) LinuxLite 2.4 64bit Thinks it's 2.2 after update - Won't boot
Posted by: davidoser - 04-02-2015, 01:45 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (14)

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...?

Hi

I'm not sure if this was posted allready. Haven't found it.

I just wanted to run the Intel Graphics Installer and it told me the Distribution is not supported  ???
The last time I did it right after installing Lite it worked just fine.

  Krita (Digital Painting) 2.8 / 2.9
Posted by: whateverthing - 04-02-2015, 04:20 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (6)

Hi -- Up to last week, I was using Krita in LinuxLite 2.2 on my Lenovo ThinkPad.

With the release of LL 2.4, I decided it was time to do a clean install and get rid of my Windows XP dual-boot. So I did, and now LL has my entire hard drive to itself. So far, so good.

Now I want to re-install Krita. In Synaptic Package Manager, 2.8.5 is the latest version listed. I'd like to install Krita 2.9, so I followed the Ubuntu steps on this page (adding the Kubuntu backports repository):
https://krita.org/download/krita-desktop/

When I launched Krita I get a "Critical Error: Essential application components could not be found", and the title screen behind it seems to say version 2.8.5.

I was hoping for Krita 2.9, so I found instructions on this page:
http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015...ntu-14-04/

...where it says I should "install krita-2.9 krita-2.9-dbg". But when I do, it says it can't locate either of those resources.

I'd settle for a working copy of Krita 2.8, so I've also tried uninstalling the Krita packages with Synaptic, and re-installing with Synaptic, and I still get the Critical Error when I try to run it.

I feel stuck. I'd sure appreciate any help! Thanks.

  Password asked to open openvpn connection at panel
Posted by: pwmguitar - 04-01-2015, 05:23 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (2)

Hi!
This is my first thread here and I'll try to do my best to explain my question. I have to note that english is not my first language so I apologize in advance

Brief explanation:
I use OpenVPN and I did set up it and it's working. When I click on "Network" shortcut on the down right panel - near clock/calendar there's a sub-menu "VPN CONNECTIONS"> vpnname. By clicking on "vpnname" connection that is already set up it usually connects (left-mouse click) authomatically - unless "ask every time" is checked. What I find interesting is that before I type my VPN password (or it auto connects) the system asks me for my user password in order to be able to access the VPN connection.

I LOVE that feature and I could never imagine how to do it by myself.
Question:
Is this feauture (asking for user password in order to connect to a VPN) set up by default or did I configure this by accident?
I know that in order to edit/delete connections user password are asked; what I don't get is how to configure my network manager gui to pop out a password fill every time in order to connect to a openvpn.
Short: If someone get access to my computer, the person will not be able to connect to my VPN even If the vpn password is saved on the system.

despite my bad grammar I hope you understand my question

Thanks ! Smile Smile Smile

  Live persistence
Posted by: bugfree - 04-01-2015, 07:37 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (9)

I have LL on a 8GB stick using Unetbootin. It has many programs installed. Have done the usual trick of deleting the casper-rw file, resizing and making an ext2 partition labeled casper-rw for persistence. According to gparted the size of the stick is 7.45GiB with 5.28Gib used and 2.17Gib unused.

Used DD to copy to a 16Gb stick which successfully cloned the 8Gb stick breaking it into a 8Gb partition and an 8Gb unallocated partition. I want to increase the persistence to use all the 16Gb stick, i.e. the unallocated partition, but retaining the installed progs.

Initially, I deleted the casper-rw file and reduced the OS to a minimum. This of course removed all the installed programs leaving just the OS.

Could anyone offer any suggestions as to how I might go about achieving this. Tks!
