  Moving panel 1.
Posted by: bvpainter - 04-04-2014, 04:28 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

I have just installed L-L and like the look of it, but would prefer to have my panel 1 at the top of the screen, so I can put  a dock at the bottom.
I'm sure with other XFCE distros there was an option to place panels top or bottom, but I cannot find this.

Probably an easy answer, but I''m to thick to see it,  Wink

I've made up a dock through using panel 2, which is currently on the left side of the screen, but I'd prefer it at the bottom.

Hi, I've recently installed L-L . I've tried many distros but recently have been looing for a small one to use on an elderly machine and this it.

It looks neat so I guess I'll stick with it.

  [SOLVED]dmesglog intel microcode update
Posted by: Wirezfree - 04-04-2014, 10:28 AM - Forum: Installing Software - No Replies

Hello,

Whilst looking in the log files I found the the following:

Code:
[    0.123183] perf_event_intel: PEBS disabled due to CPU errata, please upgrade microcode
[    3.770289] microcode: CPU0 sig=0x206a7, pf=0x2, revision=0x1a
[    3.879765] microcode: CPU1 sig=0x206a7, pf=0x2, revision=0x1a
[    3.890331] microcode: CPU2 sig=0x206a7, pf=0x2, revision=0x1a
[    3.891874] microcode: CPU3 sig=0x206a7, pf=0x2, revision=0x1a
[    3.894952] microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.00 <[email protected]>, Peter Oruba
Googling indicated that there is an integrated base microcode that is loaded at each boot, and my code was out of date.
Further Googling led me to:
https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxt.../microcode

Following the instructions resulted in:
Code:
[    0.123196] perf_event_intel: PEBS disabled due to CPU errata, please upgrade microcode
[    4.671498] microcode: CPU0 sig=0x206a7, pf=0x2, revision=0x1a
[    4.764014] microcode: CPU1 sig=0x206a7, pf=0x2, revision=0x1a
[    4.769083] microcode: CPU2 sig=0x206a7, pf=0x2, revision=0x1a
[    4.770855] microcode: CPU3 sig=0x206a7, pf=0x2, revision=0x1a
[    4.777104] microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.00 <[email protected]>, Peter Oruba
[    5.914461] microcode: CPU0 updated to revision 0x29, date = 2013-06-12
[    5.914886] microcode: CPU1 updated to revision 0x29, date = 2013-06-12
[    5.915303] microcode: CPU2 updated to revision 0x29, date = 2013-06-12
[    5.915766] microcode: CPU3 updated to revision 0x29, date = 2013-06-12
[    5.915769] perf_event_intel: PEBS enabled due to microcode update
Which if my understanding is correct means,
the integrated microcode was loaded, but then the updated microcode is recognised and loaded.
So I think this is all O.K, but I'm not to sure..??

UPDATE: #1
Apparently after further Googling there is another tool that appears(but this is where I get a bit lost) to allow the removal
of the older version, but it needs "Multiverse Repository" adding..??, and I don't want to break anything..!!
iucode_tool
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/rari...ool.8.html


UPDATE: #2
It appears the iucode_tool is installed along with intel-microde packages, a dependency.
Also the original base code cannot be removed, from Googling the base and update always seem to show in dmesg.
So I guess I can close this.

Thanks... David

  Long Term Release vs. rolling distro
Posted by: Coastie - 04-04-2014, 12:11 AM - Forum: Linux Lite Software Development - Replies (3)

What are the advantages of using a long term release like Ubuntu vs. a rolling distro for the basis of Linux Lite?

The more I read about Linux, the more confused I get. :-\

  Brightness Control - Not working
Posted by: Selenium - 04-03-2014, 07:44 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

Installed Linux Lite on my mate's old laptop last week, his major complain being that he can't change the brightness. Not by the Fn keys or elsewhere.

Anyone got any clue on how to fix that? Real Linux newbie here still, but I installed Linux Lite so that his dying laptop could perhaps last a little longer. Windows was crippling it even further.

So, any thoughts on how to troubleshoot/fix that?

  New to Linux Lite
Posted by: Jim - 04-02-2014, 08:55 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (3)

Hello everyone. My name is Jim and I just downloaded and installed Linux Lite. I feel like a fish out of water. I can't even figure out how to install a program that isn't already in the system. I was wondering if there might be a good tutorial to watch to figure this all out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Have a great day!

Jim

  Bug in reverting the menu
Posted by: cerise - 04-02-2014, 05:00 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

I clicked on the revert button to reset my menu - but it did not go back to the original state as it was during and after installation. Instead, the "Install Updates" disappeared and the icons for the first 3 submenus for System went missing.

  Install Updates - Terminal
Posted by: Coastie - 04-02-2014, 03:43 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (6)

:-\ After reading post about users losing their menu items, Linux Lite installed modified desktop, and warnings from Valtam about resetting menu I wonder about the Install Updates - Terminal. Some of the updates I can see are from Jerry Bezencon (Valtam) but some but some are from Ubuntu and some I do not reconize. Are all updates offered by this program from or screened by the Linux Lite Development Team; therefore, safe to do?

I no longer even ask Synaptic to check for update dues to be concerned about messing up Linux Lite.

  Version Lock Does Not Work With a dist-upgrade
Posted by: leegold - 04-01-2014, 07:29 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

Hi,

In Synaptic Software manager I lock a version of gqview, it appears red in Synaptic and seems to indicate it's locked. But when I do a dist-upgrade it updates to geeqie and newer version of gqview.

Is there away when I run upgrade to skip the "upgrade" for gqview or block anything named geeqie?
