  [SOLVED] Just installed Linux Lite 1.0.8, and no sound?
Posted by: Jack Yelland - 08-12-2014, 09:53 PM - Forum: Sound - Replies (11)

Well, the subject says it all really... I've just switched from Windows 7 (on which I had sound working fine) to Linux Lite 1.0.8. However, when I try to watch a YouTube video for example, there'e no sound at all  Sad I've looked at the Help Manual, but I can't seem to find anything that helps me... But then again I'm not the best with computers, and probably misunderstood something... But yeah, any help would be greatly appreciated Smile


I've also looked through some of the other questions on here, and often people ask for this I believe... Probably the wrong thing, but I hope it helps somewhat Smile

  Netbios name in smb.conf
Posted by: paul59 - 08-12-2014, 02:32 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (1)

Might be less confusing if the default netbios name was set to something other than 'lappy' at the top of smb.conf, for example :

Code:
#======================= Global Settings ====================================
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Linux Lite Shares
netbios name = linux-lite
...

  [SOLVED] Suggestions on Password Managers
Posted by: paul59 - 08-12-2014, 09:14 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (9)

Just a possible alternative to the one that is currently available via the LL install script, UPM:

http://upm.sourceforge.net/

It's main advantage is that it also works on Android so it's easy to sync your passwords (via dropbox for example) between your desktop and android phone. Has been very stable/reliable over the 2 years I've used it.

  linux Lite 2.0 works on CD Live but wont boot from SSD
Posted by: johnny baby - 08-11-2014, 08:03 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (6)

Hi All,

Complete newbie to LINUX.  Using an old XP HP 2510p (2 GB RAM).  Linux Lite works fine off the live cd so I assume hardware OK.  Installed a new SSD (Kingspec 64 GB) and loaded Linux.

Some outputs :

Code:
linux@linux:~$ sudo fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 63.6 GB, 63612911616 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7733 cylinders, total 124243968 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000951f6

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

/dev/sr0: LABEL="Linux Lite 2.0 32-bit" TYPE="iso9660"
linux@linux:~$

Was really looking forward to using Linux but without Hard drive boot it is no use.  Could this be a BIOS issue ???  I have made the Hard drive 1st on bootup - get a GIMP error but cant do anything(wouldn't know what to do anyway)

All help gratefully accepted.

  Support link
Posted by: paul59 - 08-11-2014, 07:35 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (3)

I think the Menu->Internet->Support link might need to be changed. As it stands it uses xdg-open which doesn't seem to use the default WebBrowser (at least for me - I set SeaMonkey as my default in 'preferred applications' but the support link opens with Firefox). Using exo-open does the trick though:

Code:
exo-open --launch WebBrowser http://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/

  Installing software
Posted by: Tom47 - 08-11-2014, 04:52 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (4)

I have an HP Mini100-3000 that I originally replaced the Windows 7 Starter with Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick.  I was less than satisfied with the Maverick and learned about Linux Lite this past weekend.  I installed it as the sole O.S. and am very pleased with the format.

My only issue is installing the software from the program list.  I really want Chrome and selected #2, typed password, and waited for package download.  I keep getting an error saying the download failed.  I tried other choices and the same thing happens.

Does anyone have any suggestions or can direct me to a previous post? :-\

BTW, I did not install any updates.  Could this be my problem?  I see other replies and will check this later today.

  Equivalent to System restore?
Posted by: Dookus - 08-11-2014, 02:38 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (12)

Hi all.

gave my partner a fairly decent laptop to replace her ageing 10 plus year old unit, the ageing unit was running LL 1.08 and she was used to it and happy to use it though the thing would lag terribly sometimes, so I installed LL2 on a duel core AMD Asus APU, got it ready with all the stuff she uses, the Laptop has no battery and sadly the Power Supply was accidental pulled after she got it home and the unit is asking for a keyring when she tries to connect to her wireless network now.

I'll fix that tomoz as she has a job close to my place and I will be able to get it done before she has to go home.

My thought was, for people like my partner, who have a problem like this ... is there any way a roll-back or system restore option could be enabled, or a program to do this type of repair, I was away from home when she rang me and was at a lose as to how to help her over the phone.

I understand that Linux is not about creating gigs of data in-case something happens, data that would be used roll back the system to before the problem occurred.

Though any thoughts on what one could do to help to created a routine that anyone could be followed to help one to get the system back to a working state once a crucial error occurs would be appreciated.
Cheers.

  add menu item
Posted by: davidwillis - 08-11-2014, 02:35 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (13)

I am trying to add a menu item that will run a script from the terminal.  However after adding it, it does not open a terminal, and it does not run the script.

The menu item is simply to start a minecraft server.  It works fine running the command via command line, but I can't get the menu item to work.  Is there a way to set the directory path to run the script from (so it will find all the files it needs to run)?  And also why does it not open the terminal window, when I have that option checked (using main menu). 

Thanks
