  Fully upgradeable system
Posted by: minesheep - 10-03-2019, 03:40 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (6)

Why isn't it possible to upgrade from for example series 3 to series 4 while it is possible to upgrade pure ubuntu? Will LL ever get upgrade option between series?

  Dual boot on an Asus E406SA
Posted by: pelouk - 10-03-2019, 10:06 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (18)


I've just been asked [color=rgb(0, 0, 0)][/color]

[color=rgb(0, 0, 0)]by a friend who is interested in installing LL [/color]
an Asus E406SA and wants to know if this is possible. The laptop is marketed as a Cloudbook and runs Windows 10 S - i.e. the so-called stripped-down version of W 10. The machine is 64 bit with 4gb RAM and a fixed hard disk of 64Gb.


Has anyone had experience with this? Thoughts?

  Ethernet Card recognized by Linux Lite every other reboot
Posted by: liamjake05 - 10-01-2019, 07:38 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (3)

I have just installed Linux Lite on an old Laptop with a Realtek FE Ethernet card. The card is only recognized every other reboot. The activity LED that is on the Ethernet port is on still when it doesn't work which tells me that the Ethernet has no hardware fault. When running ifconfig and the ethernet card is not working, the card does not show up. Wi-Fi works just fine.


Also, I have already tried doing everything on this page: [size=78%]https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2400056[/size]

  Custom Command Line Recycle Bin
Posted by: jack action - 10-01-2019, 12:47 AM - Forum: Scripting and Bash - Replies (1)

I've made a script to put a file or folder into a recycle bin instead of a deleting it with rm (which could be problematic if you make an error).

In a file called usr/bin/trash, I've put the following:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

# move a file or folder to a __trash__ folder (within the same directory)

if [ "$1" = "" ]; then
    echo "You need a file or folder name.";
    exit 1;
elif [ "$1" = "/" ]; then
    echo 'You cannot put "/" in trash.';
    exit 1;
fi

trashParentDir="$(dirname $1)";

mkdir -p "$trashParentDir/__trash__";
mv -vft "$trashParentDir/__trash__" "$1";
exit 0;

Then I created 2 aliases:

Code:
alias rm="trash"
alias empty-trash="sudo find / -depth -type d -name \"__trash__\" -exec rm -r '{}' ';'"

When using rm, you actually put a file or folder into a __trash__ folder within the same directory. (Note: it will overwrite a pre-existing file of the same name previously 'deleted')
In case of a mistake, just move the file out of the __trash__ folder.

When using empty-trash, you delete all __trash__ folders on the computer.  You need root privilege to do so.
You could make a Cron job to empty-trash regularly.

  Linux Lite Updates
Posted by: jack action - 09-30-2019, 11:06 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (4)

Some feedback for the program Linux Lite Updates (LLU) on LL 4.4.

I encounter a special case where I had to answer a question before updating and, of course, the program couldn't handle it, so it ended without updating.  I ended up doing a 'sudo apt update' on the terminal with the following output (the question I answered is on line 16):

  create live usb from iso download
Posted by: MarRic - 09-30-2019, 01:42 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (6)

Searched and tried several different commands (also tried from repository) to get something (unetbootin, startup disk creator) to create a live/install usb of a downloaded iso, but nothing works for me. I would appreciate instructions to accomplish this.
Backstory: Panasonic CF30 laptop had Windows 7 still, which I just overwrote with what I thought was a 32 bit version of Fedora. It was supposed to work well with touchscreen on CF30 - which it did from the live usb I created from their website - so I installed and now doesn't work, it's 64 bit instead. No other linux distro creates the usb like that one did, can't order a copy from OSDisc since he closed  Sad (bummer - I've ordered all my linux distros I've tried from there - since I don't do well with terminal).
Any help appreciated - Hubby loves that laptop, doesn't want to part with it.
