  shockwave flash
Posted by: earlytv - 11-27-2014, 03:28 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (8)

I use 1.0.8 with firefox, which says has shockwave flash. All the sites that need flash, without it they would say need to install flash, are blank, the section of page that needs flash is blank, like in the internet speed test I use, the section that is blank is where you can start the test, so i can not start the test.
System is very old very slow asus cusi-fx. Last thing to run fast on this was windows me. I am trying to find a linux that is fast on it that works? If not then I run dual boot, win me with a small fast browser linux for the internet. Way back, cant find it, from win me dos a linux browser could be called, I guess if that worked dual boot would not be needed.

  [Information] SD Cards are "NOT" created equal
Posted by: Wirezfree - 11-26-2014, 06:55 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (2)

Hi,

** UPDATED **
Added Transcend Ultimate 600x @ 50% quicker on in-built reader, small improvements in external reader.

My interest in SD Cards was peeked when another thread brought them up.
I have an HP Laptop with in-built SD Card reader.
I thought I would try it, an easy local backup option possibly.
I immediately noticed how slow it was.
I have 3 8GB SD Cards all marked Class 10 but with other markings(speed claims.!!)
The results of benchmarking shown below,
1st row in the Internal Reader, SanDisk seems best on "Read".
Then in external USB Reader, PNY seems fastest "Read" now.
NOTE: USB 3 Card reader take access time up 100%

From lots of Linux distros & find LL last year or so if not longer .

Been on Linux since 2005/6 when had issues with Windows & got screwed with repairs/fixes done on some places that for some reasons never worked as told .

Had LL 1.08 , LL 2.0 & now LL 2.2 Beta . With loads of other Linux distros .

Have a dual install with ArchBang on it . As always I add/remove apps in order to fit my tastes/needs .

Love the forum so far , looks like a great bunch .



Love this distro based on LTS ,

  VICE (the Versatile Commodore Emulator) & BBS Connections
Posted by: bubblesdee - 11-26-2014, 01:38 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (7)

Hi


I am new to Linux and I want to connect to a commodore 64 BBS. I have Linux lite 2.0 installed on an old laptop. I am running Vice

for Linux (I also have Wine installed and have a copy of winvice on the machine as well.) I have a terminal program for the C64

emulator. I have been trying to get this to work but I cannot and I am getting a little frustrated.


Here is what I have done so far;


I installed TCPSER with
sudo apt-get install tcpser


Also made sure NETCAT was installed with
sudo apt-get install netcat
(I read somewhere that I need this)


I then did this from a command window in linux
nc 127.0.0.1 25232. I read that I had to initialize Netcat like this.


Question 1: Why is the IP address 127.0.0.1? should it not be the IP assigned to my Linux box by my internet router?


Then I did this from a command window in linux
tcpser -v 25232 -s 1200 -p 6400
Question 2: I must leave this command window open while trying to connect. Is this correct?


Then I opened Vice (Linux version)
in settings under the RS232 settings menu: ◦Turn on “Userport RS232 emulation


under “Userport RS232 baud rate set baud to 1200
Under “Userport RS232 device” select “Exec process”.
◦Under “Program name to exec…” type | nc localhost 25232


Question 3 : should I change localhost to the IP address assigned to my Linux box?


I then saved my settings in Vice, closed vice and restarted it.


I then opened my Terminal software (CCGMS 5.5) with vice and tried to dial a BBS IP address
Question 4: should I try using striketerm instead?


When I dial the BBS IP address, It just says no carrier
The command window where I did the tcpser -v 25232 -s 1200 -p 6400 command doesn’t show anything, it doesn’t tell me that it is

trying to connect.


I can’t figure out what I am doing wrong.


Can someone please help. I am going crazy here.


Is it because the BBS I am dialing is not working.
Do you have the IP of a known working BBS?


Please help


Thanks in advance

  Midori issue
Posted by: rbdflyboy - 11-25-2014, 06:53 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (16)

Been testing this browser for some time now. Approximately 7-10 days ago the shortcut to dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk broke. So removed it and tried to install a new one and since then Midori can't load the Lite forum page. That's like telling me no coffee in the morning...not gonna fly too well. Have changed all the settings around in Preferences 3-4 times...still no joy. Was planning on switching over completely from Chromium, that's not happening now.
Can anyone, please, point me in the right direction in finding a solution?
In the FAQ's found this: [color=rgb(64, 64, 64) !important][size=14pt !important][font=serif !important]HTTPS URLS won't load
That's a problem with WebKit. You can work around it to some extent if you start Midori like so:
export WEBKIT_IGNORE_SSL_ERRORS="1" midori...any idea where to install this? Thanks in advance.[/font][/size][/color]

  Computers with Linux Lite preinstalled or compatable

https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/index...4.msg7489#

I am not in the market for another computer now thanks to Linux Lite. When I am I would want another desktop either new or refurbished that had Linux Lite pre-installed or good for installing Linux Lite.

If desktops with Linux Lite pre-installed were available for purchase too that would be great. If not, perhaps a list of computers (with links) that would work well with an install of Linux Lite could be maintained for shoppers?

  LL 2.2 Beta - Whisker Menu [SOLVED]
Posted by: Scott(0) - 11-25-2014, 04:45 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (4)

I've noticed some distros/implementations of the Whisker Menu display the user name (just first or first and last) with the first character in uppercase. Maybe this is a possible addition for LL 2.2? I've attempted to do this on my own but so far haven't been successful.
