  Bluetooth Audio
Posted by: ggilmore27 - 03-16-2015, 12:14 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (3)

I've noticed that in many XFCE spins, there are problems with the bluetooth audio,  I ran across a fix BUT was wondering if it can be included in the next release, see below

Here goes:

1. Modify the file /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf file:

Code:
sudo leafpad /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf

Enter your password, then edit the appropriate area in the configuration file as follows:
Code:
[General]

Enable = Source,Sink,Headset,Gateway,Control,Media
Disable = Socket

HFP=false

[A2DP]
SBCSources=1
MPEG12Sources=0

Reference Link 1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...ug/1181106 - post #15

NOTE: In the step above, if you use the info referred to in reference link #1, the 'pactl' commands will fail. Fret not, as it has no effect on the end result. What is important here are the changes to be made in the audio.conf file in the /etc/bluetooth folder to activate A2DP (stereo).

2. For the curious, the second reference link will explain to you why this fix is necessary in more detail:

Reference Link 2: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...ug/1283003 - post #92

Solving this problem involves:

a. Adding a PPA, and

b. Updating blueman (the Bluetooth manager) and installing the modules that interface Bluetooth with pulseaudio.

c. For Broadcom Bluetooth adapters, downloading the firmware and copying it to the /lib/firmware folder.

First, add the PPA:

  [SOLVED] Unable to boot or install any linux distro
Posted by: jerobero500 - 03-16-2015, 02:31 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (22)

I have linux lite running perfectly on several laptops and desktops except for this one HP6715b with ati radeon x1250 graphics card. have done a lot of searching and it seems this laptop will only run with the 2.6.34 kernel. i have tried  to boot the 2.2 live cd and after the blue default screen boot i get a flashing black screen with a feather and loader at the bottom and it just flashes back and forth very quickly after about an hour i can see the loader bar is complete if i look fast enough between flashes but it never goes to the start up screen. it did once but after installing it reverted back to the problem above . if i use the nomodeset it just checks hardware for hours and then i get a blinking cursor  at the top left of a black screen.  I have since tried to install several different distros with no success. I am currently tring to use some old distros with the 2.6.34 kernel to see if that works. I would really like to use linux lite. and the new 2.4 beta is working well on the other laptop i put it on yesterday.

  [SOLVED] Thunderbird Links Open Same Page in Firefox
Posted by: javier_mina - 03-15-2015, 08:54 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (6)

Every time I click on a link within the body of a Thunderbird email, Firefox opens to the homepage of steampowered.com.  I can't figure out why this is happening, and more important how I can get it to stop.  I just want to click on a link and have it work properly by going to the intended page; now I have to copy the link and paste it into a Firefox tab.  It seems that the smallest things are the most frustrating.  Can anyone help?

  How to troubleshoot system freeze-ups?
Posted by: Kirkx - 03-15-2015, 03:02 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

Lately I occasionally encounter system freeze-ups and the only solution is to power-off the PC (with the power button). Is there any log that can be used to pinpoint the source of the problem? After one of those freeze-ups I booted to another distro and looked through /var/log on LL partition but couldn't find anything unusual in any of the log files.

I suspect the freeze-ups might be related to my graphics card and for now I settled on the following setup, which is stable most of the time:

Code:
mtrx@lite:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Lite 2.2"

mtrx@lite:~$ uname -r
3.18.0-linuxlite

mtrx@lite:~$ inxi -Gxx
Graphics:  Card: NVIDIA G86 [GeForce 8500 GT] bus-ID: 01:00.0 chip-ID: 10de:0421
           Display Server: X.Org 1.15.1 drivers: nvidia,nouveau (unloaded: fbdev,vesa)
           Resolution: [email protected]
           GLX Renderer: GeForce 8500 GT/PCIe/SSE2
           GLX Version: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 340.76 Direct Rendering: Yes

  Upgrade Error: Bad return status for module build on kernel
Posted by: Kirkx - 03-15-2015, 02:45 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

After running:

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

I got the following error. Is it safe to ignore it?

Code:
Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.18.0-linuxlite (x86_64)

[img height=600 width=587]http://i.imgur.com/oZOOTRA.png[/img]

I have kernel 3.18.0 installed because it seems to work the best with my Nvidia 8500 GT card and Nvidia driver 340.76. I encounter occasional system freeze-ups for the last two months, never had this problem before. The card is actually brand new, five years ago I bought two cards and just replaced the old one now.

Code:
mtrx@lite:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Lite 2.2"

mtrx@lite:~$ uname -r

If you have time, would Jerry and the development team consider having a weekly or biweekly (fortnightly in the Queen's English) podcast or You Tube Discussion to discuss past and future of Linux Lite, etc.?

  Live USB-Stick Installs
Posted by: bugfree - 03-14-2015, 11:50 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (4)

Hi Everyone,

LL2.2 is installed on a USB stick which is my primary OS. The stick is formatted as ext4 with a swap file. Very quick to boot and shut down and a pleasure to use.

I want to create a live USB stick to demonstrate this great OS to others.

My usual way is to use USB-creator-gtk which I install using synaptic, delete the casper-rw file and shrink the partition to a minimum. Then create a new partition as ext4 (default) naming it casper-rw. If the stick is new, I then have the OS in a fat32 partition of about 755Mb and the stick remainder as ext4. Persistence is then available over the whole stick.

This works fine but is somewhat slower (obviously), than being physically installed on the stick. Still pretty good, though!

Two things:-
What does everyone think about this type of formatting. Should I reformat the stick as a different file system,- ext2 or 3 or 4 etc beforehand, or just leave it as is, i.e. fat32 and ext4.

Also, I've noticed that when using gparted in LL to resize the partitions in the new stick, gparted exits without performing the tasks. I need to use another linux OS to do this part of the stick creation.  Sad Any comments on this.

Thanks for any advice.  Cheers! Smile

We appreciate your patience during this period and will work with the new host to ensure as little downtime as possible.

Thank you,
