  Can I transfer my customizations from LL3.8 to LL5.2
Posted by: mezzmer - 01-15-2021, 08:56 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - No Replies

I have been using LL3.8 on a VM for a couple of years, but with EOL coming up, I want to move to LL5.2.

How can I  transfer the following customisation/configuration:

1. Initial boot screen (Gradient Gold with a LL Feather) ... It seems to have disappeared in LL4/5.
2. Greeter window background colour
3. Desktop background set to solid colour
4. Task bar, Change colour and panel setup

Is it possible to just copy some configuration files/directories?  If so, how do I find out what I need to copy?

  No network device after latest update
Posted by: jacmoe - 01-14-2021, 02:17 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (10)

Today, upon rebooting after an update, Linux Lite informed me that there were no network devices available.
Rebooting into Linux 5.4 solved that problem.
Are there any known issues with Linux 5.8?

Not really sure where to put questions like this.
I probably should have put it in the Bugs forum?
Because it is a bug.
Windows works, of course, so it must be something related to kernels and drivers and services/daemons.

Would be interesting to see if this affects others, and not just me (which would be typical) Smile

EDIT:
The device is a bog-standard Realtek RTL8111 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller, integrated into my motherboard. My machine is a stationary PC, no wifi, and relatively recent.
I don't mind booting into 5.4, but I hope this gets fixed in 5.8.

Here is the output of

Code:
lshw -c network
:

Code:
  *-network

       resources: irq:33 ioport:f000(size=256) memory:fd504000-fd504fff memory:fd500000-fd503fff

EDIT_AGAIN:

According to this topic https://askubuntu.com/questions/1291313/...26-generic there was some work done that could cause problems with devices.
And another topic also suggests installing the linux-generic package - https://askubuntu.com/questions/1307447/...untu-20-04 - but it is already installed, although I noticed that the package depends on Linux 5.4 and not 5.8. I am not sure if that's a problem.
I will run the lshw command on my failed login, but it says UNCLAIMED for the device:

Code:
  *-network UNCLAIMED
       description: Ethernet controller
       product: RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
       vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

       capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix bus_master cap_list
       configuration: latency=0
       resources: ioport:f000(size=256) memory:fd504000-fd504fff memory:fd500000-fd503fff

I then went to reinstall the linux-modules package for 5.8.0-38, and it complained that the corresponding linux-headers package for 5.8.0-38 wasn't installed, so I installed that and reinstalled. But the network card is still unclaimed on 5.8.0-38.

I am now going to boot into Windows and get work done, but it would be nice to see an update soon so that I can enjoy Linux Smile


EDIT with the solution :

I ran
Code:
sudo apt clean && sudo apt install --reinstall linux-modules-extra-5.8.0-38-generic
and the network device worked in 5.8.0-38 after a reboot, hurray! Big Grin
I have no idea if I had the modules-extra package installed, but it worked. (Or maybe threatening to boot into Windows worked? :p )

So, this is not a fault of my own, but a glitch in the update procedure. My Linux Lite installation is only a couple of months old, so I am not to blame for this.

I hope that this information will be useful for someone else experiencing the problem. Wink

  Install Updates could not fetch the package cache information lists
Posted by: throndse - 01-11-2021, 05:03 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (1)

Dear forum,

I have trouble running the updater, and as I've checked the sticky on the subject it seems a common enough issue. Even though I managed to cut the error log down with about 2/3 by unchecking (all) other software in repository preferences, I'm still stuck with a few:

This is the log from the updater:

============ Log ===========

E: Repository 'http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-backports InRelease' changed its default priority for apt_preferences(5) from 500 to 100.


And this is the log from synaptic:

Repository 'http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates InRelease' changed its 'Suite' value from 'focal' to 'focal-updates'This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure( 8 ) manpage for details.Repository 'http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-backports InRelease' changed its 'Suite' value from 'focal-updates' to 'focal-backports'Repository 'http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-backports InRelease' changed its default priority for apt_preferences(5) from 500 to 100.

It suggests looking at apt-secure( 8 ) manpage which I did, but that was a bit beyond my skills... Anyone have an idea?

  Improved US Stock Market Monitor and Viewer
Posted by: trinidad - 01-10-2021, 04:52 PM - Forum: Desktop Customization - Replies (1)

I am nearing completion of a new and better version of Lite Markets. New awk scripts, gnuplot graph scripts, and bash scripts, and markup interface improvements for Linux Lite 5.x users. Data handling is quicker and now more versatile. Below is a video preview. I will be putting up a download version on my web site in the coming weeks, and will post the code for the graphs and the bash scripts and markup at gitlab.

  Repeat Donor to Donator

I just made a donation and I saw the following...

"If you are registered on the Forums too - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/, please let us know so we can update your profile to display Donator."
I have donated several times AND I'm on the forums. So.......

Probably nothing but I am (at 75) easily confused and I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

Thanks for you patience... and blessings
Amigo
