  Do NOT install LinuxLite to USB if you don't want your Hard Drive trashed.
Posted by: davec - 06-09-2024, 05:52 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (1)

I had a recommendation to install LinuxLite to Pen drive as a portable OS.

Really bad idea.

The installation seems to have worked but my 500G HD from which I was dual booting has had its partition table removed.

I'm really angry right now as I have spent 2 days trying to recover data, so far without success.

  Linux Lite Terminal
Posted by: l3onidas - 06-07-2024, 01:21 PM - Forum: Desktop Customization - Replies (16)

After having installed Linux Lite 7 I found it - to be honest - quite annoying, that the desktop is not configured as in the Live System (after reboot it has a, to say the least, unpleasant appearance with two panels etc.). Why is that?

I managed to configure almost everything, the only question remains: How to get the "Linux Lite Terminal" exactly as it was in the Live System? Is there a configuration file somewhere? Now I have only the ordinary Xfce-Terminal. Not a big thing, but would be nice to have the Linux Lite appearance.

  USB drive partition not mounting @ connection
Posted by: H - 06-07-2024, 05:51 AM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (12)

I have just installed LL 7.0. I have a USB drive, Seagate, that has 2 partitions on it. one is ext 4, the other NTFS.

When I plug the USB drive in, the ext 4 is recognized and is usable straight up. The NTFS partition is not.

The message for the error is
" wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing code page or helper program, or other error"

If I load disks and try and mount the partition there, I get the same error.

HOWEVER:
I am able to mount via the commend line.  ???
If i use sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/        . It will load and be usable.

The ownership of the drive is all.

Any advise / help would be greatly appreciated.

I am not a Linux expert, so please do keep it simple if you are able to help.

H.

  Mozilla Firefox Thunderbird from PPA fix
Posted by: Şerban S. - 06-06-2024, 10:14 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (5)

Installing Thunderbird from PPA


Snapd and Thunderbird removal

As you probably noticed, Thunderbird is available through a forced install of Snap (snapd service).
To get rid of this, open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy/paste:

Code:
sudo remove snapd

This command, will trigger also the removal of Thunderbird. That is what I did.

Or:


Code:
sudo snap remove thunderbird

Installing Thunderbird from Mozilla PPA

Enter the following code into the Terminal:

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/ppa
sudo apt update

Now, let’s prepare the installation of Thunderbird. Copy and Paste exactly the entire code from below:

Code:
echo '
Package: *
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-mozillateam
Pin-Priority: 1001

Package: thunderbird
Pin: version 2:1snap*
Pin-Priority: -1
' | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/thunderbird

To execute the code, you will be asked for the super password. Type it into the terminal.

Installing Thunderbird. Copy And Paste into the terminal:

Code:
sudo apt install thunderbird

In order to prevent a snap takeover of the upgrade, you need to Copy/Paste the following code into the Terminal:


Code:
echo 'Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins:: "LP-PPA-mozillateam:${distro_codename}";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/51unattended-upgrades-thunderbird

Terminal output of the above steps

  Linux Lite 7 Pretty as a picture.

First pictures of my newly configured Linux Lite 7 system. All is going well. New kernel seems faster and tracks my CPU advantages perfectly. This iteration is going to be enjoyable for me.
