  Round of applause!
Posted by: Monkeyman - 12-13-2014, 04:59 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (2)

Just wanted to give Jerry and the other forum members a BIG round of applause for all the help I've received.  I've tried various Linux distros in the past with little success.  If those had the same support that LL has, I probably would have stuck with Linux a long time ago.  I tend to get frustrated and stressed pretty easily but when I installed 2.2 a few hours ago, I felt much less stress than normal mostly because I KNEW, if I had a problem (and I did), I'd get an answer here.

Two thumbs up to the Linux Lite "team"!

  system user name wrong....how to change?
Posted by: Monkeyman - 12-13-2014, 04:28 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (5)

I just installed 2.2 (awesome so far) and when I set my user name, I didn't think to delete the "System-Product-Name" part.  I just typed the user name I wanted.  Now, the terminal knows me as "[me]-System-Product-Name".  Can I change this to just "[me]" without reinstalling?  I'm sure it doesn't affect anything but I have OCD so it bothers me.

(If this is in the wrong sub forum, I apologize.  I wasn't sure where to put it.)[/me][/me]

  Remote "Desktop" & Control Options
Posted by: Wirezfree - 12-13-2014, 03:40 AM - Forum: Tutorials - Replies (9)

Hi All,

Thought I would share this with the group, hope it's understandable.?
I have installed and tested/tried "Teamviewer" and it works really well.
I wanted something a bit "Lite"er for use around my home network.
So after some research, here's what I found and did using repo options.

1. Full Remote Desktop
First Part, On the PC(s) you want to Connect TO and control

Open a terminal Ctrl-Alt-T and type:

Code:
sudo apt-get install vino
sudo apt-get install dconf-editor

You will now have 2 new programs, in the Menu
type: dconf and select dconf-editor
then
type: Desktop and select Desktop Sharing
[Image: WLHSogP.png]  [Image: sbBZYd7.png]

In dconf-editor navigate to > org > gnome > desktop > remote-access and untick the [X] require-encryption,
just click on the the X at the top of the window to close it.

In Desktop Sharing Preferences set the options shown, you can set a password if you wish, then close it

Open a terminal Ctrl-Alt-T and type:
Code:
ifconfig
and find your IP Address, it will say something like inet addr192.168.1.10
Keep a note of the IP Address for the next part. You can now re-boot the PC

Second Part, On the PC you are going to Connect FROM

Open a terminal Ctrl-Alt-T and type:
Code:
sudo apt-get install vinagre

You now have a new program, Remote Desktop Viewer
in the Menu
type: Remote and select Remote Desktop Viewer and then click on the Connect

You can use these settings but use your IP Address the one you noted above, then press "Connect" button

  K9copy
Posted by: bugfree - 12-13-2014, 02:12 AM - Forum: Installing Software - No Replies

Anyone know how to install K9copy in 2.2. Development is discontinued, but still a great program. Does it need a PPA. Thanks!

BTW, LL is amazing! Best I've used. Boots to desktop in 42 seconds on my Acer I3. Great work from the author!

  After install No Wallpaper - panel on top
Posted by: f.bluedevil - 12-13-2014, 12:46 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

I installed Linux Lite on a USB stick and after using the live session I decided to install it on my laptop.  After I installed it, I was surprised to find a desktop without wallpaper, the panel was top mounted and the menu icon with the standard xfce mouse rather than the Linux Lite icon. 

I installed wallpaper, added a new menu from the panel etc., and everything seems to work fine, but I was surprised that the desktop was totally different from the live session.  Now I am concerned that maybe the iso file was corrupted and there maybe be a price to pay later.  Anybody else experience this/have this problem?  Also, in case you are wondering, I did not check the MD5 sum before installing and yes I know I should have.

Now should I continue on or download a new iso and re-install?

  dual boot order Windows 7 / LL
Posted by: delmar - 12-12-2014, 05:04 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (3)

I was pleasantly surprised how easy to load LL in a dual boot configuration with another operating system but I think I need to do it a little differently on my wife's Windows 7 computer. If I add LL to her machine the way I did it on mine and she presses the power button LL will come up by default. How do I make it so Windows comes up by default so I don't make my wife mad?

  [SOLVED] Can't install bluetooth adapter
Posted by: Monkeyman - 12-12-2014, 03:19 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (7)

I bought a bluetooth adapter (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6833139027) in order to use a set of BT headphones (originally used for my phone).  As soon as I plugged it in, I got this:
[Image: vhGaWw9.png]

When I try to pair it with my headphones (or my laptop), I get this:
[Image: hjdx5dl.png]

The BT driver is Windows only (with a .exe file).  I can't seem to install it using Wine.  (EDIT: Just read that Wine won't install drivers.)

What can I do to get this to work?  I don't really care if I can pair it with my laptop (although I swap files daily so it would be helpful if I could) but I need the headphones to work.

EDIT:  Found this review on Amazon but can't figure out how to utilize it.  The first command does nothing and the second takes me to something unfamiliar to me.  I tried to c/p the quoted text but didn't know what to do with it after I pasted it.

Quote:I've gotten this working under Windows 7 Starter (one phone test successful out of one) and under Ubuntu 12.04 (two phone tests successful out of two), as well as Linux Mint 13 XFCE RC (one phone test successful out of one;LM 13 XFCE RC test was done in liveUSB mode). It worked great under both Ubuntu 12.04 and Linux Mint 13 XFCE RC in LiveUSB mode.  I did have issues under Ubuntu with one of my phones, but I installed the "Blueman" Bluetooth manager and it works fine now. Linux is not officially supported, though you can get it working by following the steps here (found it off other reviews for this product) :
Open command line interface (CLI), bash, or some other terminal-like program/application. It should allow you to enter commands. Enter these two commands :
touch /etc/modprobe.d/medialink-btusb.conf
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/medialink-btusb.conf

Then, copy and paste this into the file WITHOUT QUOTES : "install usb:v0A5Cp21E8d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* /sbin/modprobe btusb; echo 0a5c 21e8 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/btusb/new_id"

Then, plug in your adapter and launch your Bluetooth manager ("Blueman" recommend). You are now ready to use the device.

Any help would be appreciated.

  Patchy pixels in Google Earth street view
Posted by: m654321 - 12-12-2014, 08:46 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (15)

Scott said:

Quote: I'm not a Google Earth user but I thought I'd at least make an attempt at a solution for this issue.
So it seems that the issue is in the rendering?  Googling "google earth rendering" resulted in many hits, here's one that looked promising.
https://support.google.com/earth/answer/148070?hl=en
Quote:Thanks Scott.  I had a look at the link you gave (above), but the rendering problem or 'patchy pixels', when Goole Earth is on street view, appears to be an LL-specific, as it does not show up in either Zorin 6.4 or Windows 7, running on the same laptop (Asus X71Q).  The step was to then go to Tools and then to Options within Google Earth, to check the display settings as you indicated in your link.  I found the settings were identical for Win 7 and Zorin 6.4, LL2.2 or LL2, so the 'patchy pixels' issue appears unrelated to the display settings in Google Earth.

Is anyone else having difficulties with Google Earth in LL? Any other ideas on how this problem may be removed in LL?

Regards
Mike
