I have installed GreenWithEnvy.

I am unable to set coolbits8

I have tried.

sudo update-grub
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28 --allow-empty-initial-configuration

I have also tried editing xorg.conf

But it does not work.

Please advise.

As the title says, the file (also in /etc/skel) contains the following:

Code:
[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Exec=/usr/bin/lite-updates Icon=liteupdates StartupNotify=true Terminal=false Categories=Utility;X-XFCE;X-Xfce-Toplevel; OnlyShowIn=XFCE; X-XFCE-MimeType=inode/directory;x-scheme-handler/trash; Name=Install Updates Comment=Get the latest updates for your computer

This leads to unexpected behavior when a program has a "Open Folder" function. I have renamed this file to lite-updates.desktop; a exo-file-manager.desktop file is already in /usr/share/applications

Hi. I'm using dual boot for the first time. It's linked to trying out options on a new PC.


The boot mode is CSM as option 1 is to continue with Win 7. That's on a spinning hard disk, currently disconnected.

Option 2 is Win 10 and I've installed that on a 500GB nvme SSD as GPT


Option 3 is LL. I've been using that in a VM and on a laptop to build up experience and confidence.

When installing LL I added partitions /root, /home and swap on the SSD. I first got an error that "No "Reserved BIOS boot area"  so I added a 1MB grub partition. I then got the error: "Unable to install GRUB in /dev/nvme0n1p8"

Image 1 is the LL partition set up during installation

image 2 is the partition table seen under Win 10 using Macrium Reflect backup utility.

I would like some help please on how to proceed.

Thanks for reading
Alan

Enabling auto login using the GUI method I used changed the file

/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

and put my user name on the line 'autologin-user='

Errors in this file if manually edited can cause lock out.

Sorry about starting a new thread - the option to reply appears to not be working for me.

I don't use auto-login but as an experiment, I tried

Control Panel
Lite Auto Login

Clicked 'Enable Auto Logoin'
Entered password
Accepted the disclaimer

Re-booted and was auto-logged in

Disabled auto login using the same path

I've been trying to enable auto login for hours and it doesn't seem to work.
I perform all steps needed to enable auto login by clicking SYSTEM=>LOGIN SETTINGS=>ENABLE AUTO LOGIN and I get the positive confirmation at the end.
After restart I can see the login screen again. I tried to reinstall lightdm packgace but it didn't help.
Is there a place - the config file - where I can set this manually? How to check if the ENABLE AUTO LOGIN option is realy on or off?

Linux Lite 3.8
