  Cloning drives
Posted by: ChrisL - 11-17-2014, 01:21 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)

I would like to clone my primary hard drive onto a larger drive (which I will then use as my primary). 

I don't want to back-up so I can restore later.  Will Clonzilla clone in this manner a full working drive?

Looks like it, but ?? I am not totally convinced.  It also says "Boot loader, including grub (version 1 and version 2) and syslinux, could be reinstalled. " so maybe that would need to be done before the drive is fully functional? If so is that difficult to do?

If there is a better tool I am open to suggestions.  Thanks,

  Tracking down the elusive lightdm-webkit-greeter bug
Posted by: valtam - 11-16-2014, 11:01 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (12)

Whilst making changes to the new login screen, I noticed in the /usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/linuxlite/index.theme file the following line was:

Code:
session=gnome

So I changed it to:

Code:
session=xfce4

and it seems to have done no harm. I've made this change on my main system as well as in VB.
I am hoping that this is the cause of the occasional time where you login and the webkit-greeter window appears and you have to close it.
If you'd like to jump on the 'test that theory bandwagon' please feel free and let me know how you get on Smile

  Steam error, where to find cause?
Posted by: maccool - 11-16-2014, 06:28 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

I am trying LL as a suitable travel game platform. I tried to install steam, when through the "install additional software", selected item 17 (steam), said yes to the steam installer prompt, then entered my password. The response I got was an error pop-up:

Error

Steam could not be installed.

There is no other information. So, where do I go to look for the info about why the install failed?

  Forum website issues
Posted by: maccool - 11-16-2014, 06:21 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - No Replies

Short list as a new user of both LLOS and the forum.

First the Welcome/login/register text at the top of the page is completely unreadable for me. That gray text on almost black and the funny blue on almost black just disappears. I had to do a browser "edit/select all" before I could actually see the link to a registry page.

2nd web forms should allow a person to table from field to field, every field. The country input selection of the new user registration was bypassed by a tab to it. Tsk, tsk. (I use the keyboard in preference to the mouse as I find it is faster and my fingers have less trouble getting confused if I stick to one device for input when I can).

Last, if you have particular requirements for an input field. they should be specified on the page. An example is the registration page password input, it really should specify password requirements.

  Digital Camera Connection to Linux Lite
Posted by: elconguero - 11-16-2014, 12:52 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

I am writing about something I came across which worried me.  Its to do with connecting a digital camera to Linux Lite.  Once the USB cable was connected from the digital camera to Linux Lite the pictures in the camera are viewable on the monitor to look at.  What I wasn’t aware of was that the pictures are automatically erased from the digital camera in the process.  So once I finished watching the pictures I then disconnected the camera from the PC as I wanted to leave the pictures in the cameras memory.  I was shocked to find that the pictures had been erased from the camera and as I had not saved the pictures that I looked on the monitor - these were lost as well. 
I have since learned that when connecting a camera to Linux LIte you must immediately save these onto your PC - if not you have lost all those memories.  Is there a command that can be invoked to ensure that when a camera is connected that the pictures are not erased from the camera? Or that it asks if you want to transfer the pictures to the PC?

  Text Adventure Games don't run on Firefox?
Posted by: ChrisL - 11-16-2014, 02:21 AM - Forum: Games Support - Replies (4)

Hi folks,

I was tryingt to run a game from: http://www.web-adventures.org/

These are old text style adventure games like Adventure (Colossal Cave), Zork, etc. so I figure they were a sure thing.  When on Firefox though I got a message when trying to start any of them:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Apache/2.2.22 (Debian) Server at www.web-adventures.org Port 80


Huh ... then I tried on Chrome and it ran fine.  Is there something I need to add to my system or Firefox to run this (on Firefox)?  Also, I am uncertain where/how to view the server error log mentioned in the error message.

Thanks,
                  Chris

What do you think? Cleaner, lighter. Text has indentation effect.

  Lie V2.2 Choice of Panel Items
Posted by: mdavies5 - 11-16-2014, 01:23 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (1)

The Notification area contains a very basic battery and Network item and an invisible volume control. This problem is solved by deleting it from the panel and adding the "Indicator Plugin". This provides a volume control with access to Sound settings and a network applet which includes wireless connections.

  Lite V2.2 Beta. Error message with xfburn
Posted by: mdavies5 - 11-16-2014, 01:10 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (3)

When starting xfburn the message "Failed to initialise Gstreamer encoder. Falling back to basic implementation" appears then it starts ok. I have tried installing Gstreamer components from Synaptic but it does not solve the problem. I have used xfburn on other distros with xfce desktop with no problems.
