  Remove A Style
Posted by: lc6529 - 11-28-2020, 02:55 PM - Forum: Installing Software - No Replies

Last week I installed a Style in Linux Lite and it does not work well at all so I would like to remove it.

How can you REMOVE a style?

It's truly not a big deal to leave it installed but I am trying to learn as much as I can and would like to learn how to uninstall a style.

What I was trying to do was see if I could get a style that looks like LinuxFX, I run that on my laptop but I really prefer the simplicity of Linux Lite so I do not want to remove it from my main PC.

When I try to change resolution the screen tears and is all garbled. Here is my INXI I am sure it is a driver. I have had this problem with debian not detecting my Built in the cpu graphics. A non free firmware solved the problem. I do not have this problem with Ubuntu or mint.

I did a sudo apt install to install evdev-tools, but something's still missing... some .h file, somewhere.

Can anyone help?

  Support bug, onboard keyboard, not a game changer
Posted by: d0ugparker - 11-26-2020, 07:38 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (1)

I installed Onboard virtual keyboard, set its setting in Accessibility to show at boot.

I removed Onboard, but its option is still displayed on the Accessibility tab. I think that's an oversight. I shouldn't see it after it's been removed. I have a screen capture, but i don't see a button to include an image. Here's an imgur URL, if you need to take a peek: https://imgur.com/a/fM7liII

  Native, Linux Lite, Virtual Keyboard?
Posted by: d0ugparker - 11-26-2020, 07:18 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)

I hate to say it, but it looks like, no, there's no native, virtual keyboard in Linux Lite. That makes sense: it's Lite.

Onboard is an option, but it looks... mmm... unfinished:its appearance doesn't match the rest of Linux Lite, even looking at its available themes.

I've also had a problem with it that resulted in a constant stream of <CR><LF>s (that may be just \n being sent in the Linux environment) being sent when opening up a terminal session. I removed Onboard, and I'm going to reinstall it to see if it's still there.

If you know of alternate, plugin, addons for hosting a virtual keyboard, please list them here. Thanks.

  Ads Change
Posted by: valtam - 11-25-2020, 10:47 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)

I've noticed 2 errors that were hurting us in terms of potential ad revenue. I have since fixed them because according to Google AdSense, the Forums earn more than the main website! Ads will appear a little 'fatter' too. The ad height is an experiment that I am going to run for one month to see if there is an impact on revenue. If there is none, I'll go back to the old, skinnier code. This is for information, there is no need to reply to this thread.

FYI, Column A represents members who will see ads, Column X refers to groups that are ad-free:

  Screen waves or ripples and static with hard drive activity and mouseover action
Posted by: d0ugparker - 11-24-2020, 03:53 AM - Forum: Off Topic - No Replies

I have a generic trade show kiosk with an ITX motherboard whose 47" touch screen is rotated into portrait orientation. With every disk access, it seems, and with every mouse movement from mouseover text item to mouseover text item, there almost always seems to be an equivalent, slight waviness that appears slightly in the screen, and also a bit of static on the speaker in exact relation to the waves or ripples on the screen. Not having had a trade show kiosk before, I have no idea what might be causing the visual and sound artifacts I'm getting. The speaker works well, otherwise, as does the monitor and touchscreen.

Well, I think I may have an idea, and I'm wondering if it could come from isolated PCB and component grounds—that whoever built it took the monitor's PCBs apart, reassembled them and other parts into the trade show cabinet, but maybe never grounded all the individual chassis grounds together. If so, now all the ground levels are floating and maybe causing the static.

If the individual components need a common ground bus, will that ground be different from the mains ground? I'm not an electrical engineer or electrician.

Is there anyone familiar with building and debugging trade show kiosks who can give me any pointers?
