  Get update errors nearly everytime I try to update
Posted by: LarryB1607 - 05-11-2020, 06:28 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (5)

I do not believe that there are any extra kernels to remove.  This fixed a previous problem I had, but the errors started again and I am up to several now.  Here is the latest:  Thanks for any help

Here is my disk allocation:
root = 26 GB free
home = 37 GB free
I made boot about 30 MB

When I click on File manager I get no drive size info

  Updates on RC1
Posted by: barnaby - 05-11-2020, 11:58 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

I have been asked by a friend to help them move over to Linux. In the past I have used L Lite and I thought that would be a good distro for him. I installed version 5.0 RC1 on one of his laptops, no problem. But, today when I tried to install updates I did have  some problems. First was a problem with process 2887 which was causing some kind of lock to be set. I managed to kill that one. Then I had to run dpkg configure. And then fix-broken install. OK. I have now  been able to install all the updates and Lite is now up to date.
I have been using Linux for 20 years now. I do not pretend to be an expert, but I did manage to sort out the above. However there is no way that my friend could have managed all that. Am I missing something here? Perhaps the final version will have updating working properly. Or perhaps from now on it will just work. I can test that next time there are  some  updates available. And I do realise that I must install the final version for him once it is ready.
Any comments/advice gratefully received.

  upgrade to ver.5 need help
Posted by: Way - 05-11-2020, 01:27 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (3)

It has been a while since my last up-grade. I would appreciate if a Linux savvy person could give us a review on saving samba files, and  settings with locations. This would make a speeder upgrade without having to search other Linux forums sites.

Thanks and hope you are all good.

  Is it possible to remove 'Delete' from the right-click menu?
Posted by: 198471598347 - 05-10-2020, 10:42 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

I am setting up Linux Lite 4.8 for an older relative, who is not computer literate, so I would like to hide the 'Delete' option from the right-click menu, because they don't know the different between 'Delete' and 'Move to Trash'.

  How do I permanently/auto mount my second hard drive?
Posted by: 198471598347 - 05-10-2020, 07:11 PM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (1)

I have two drives:
1. File System
2. Storage (NTFS)

Storage (/dev/sdb) is mounted at /media/myname/Storage


When I reboot my PC, Storage does not auto-mount, even though I have checked the setting to mount at startup. I still have to click it and type in my password for it to mount. I've tried sudo chmod -R 777 /dev/sdb and sudo chmod -R 777 /media/myname/Storage, but nothing has changed.

Perferably, I want it to just stay mounted at all times.

  Kernels
Posted by: LarryB1607 - 05-10-2020, 06:01 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)

Have LLOS for about 3 months now and have made a few tweaks to personalize my system.  I am using 4.84 64 bit that has kernel 4.15.088.  I see that there are several perhaps newer kernels available.  None of these install when I check for updates.  Should I try installing any of them and is there a change log that lists the differences between them all.

Thanks

  How to install a Linksys PCI WiFi card
Posted by: Hexeta - 05-10-2020, 01:41 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (9)

Hi Folks, I am not very clever with these things and rely heavily on the good folks who populate these forums!
My only previous experience has been using Linux Mint which I have had on several old machines.

With this lock down and being totally alone, I have dusted off a very old laptop which has Windows XP on it.
For some reason it will not boot into windows, I tried a USB stick with Linux Mint 17 32bit, but it wouldn't "see" the USB at Boot, so I enabled "Legacy Support" in BIOS but still the drive was ignored at Boot, so I finally tried an old disk copy of Linux lite which did boot after a few complaints.
I was really trying to find out just why XP wasn't booting, but I guess that was expecting too much of my tiny brain!

As Clint Eastwood used to say in Dirty Harry, "...a man's gotta know his limitations!"

Having taken the line of least resistance, I am now wanting to install either Linux lite or another Lite distro on this machine but first, I would like to be able to activate the WiFi card. It is a Linksys Wireless G Notebook Adapter Model WPC54G and slide into a PCI card slot in the laptop.
It was working just fine with Windows XP, and I recall using it with Mint a long time ago but now with this install Linux 3.13.0-24-generic(i686) I can't find out how to install the driver.
Can anyone help me please?

  Mesa driver bug
Posted by: Jinith Jayan - 05-09-2020, 03:00 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

Hey,

I've been using linux lite 3.8 for around 4 months now. Before 3 months or so there came an update of linux kernal 4.4.112 to 4.4.178. After the update the mesa driver was updated
from 17.2.4 to 18.0.5.

The issue is that now when i play any video in vlc there is occasional fluttering which is kinda bugging.. It worked perfect with Mesa 17.2.4.

I tried changing the kernal as I thought mesa drivers come with kernals (not very linux savvy ;D) but even after changing kernal the mesa version remained the same and videos still flutters.

I did search on google about updating the mesa driver, but all are telling to add a "ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/updates", but there is no new updates & I'm still in mesa driver 18.0.5

Please help to fix the issue. There is no new updates so can anyone help to downgrade the mesa driver to 17.2.4 (if thats the best solution) Smile
