  Better Bluetooth in Linux Lite 4.x 18.04 Bionic
Posted by: valtam - 09-17-2019, 07:14 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (1)

If like me, you are experiencing flaky connections, bad file transfers, the following solution made everything work perfect!

Only use this if bad things are happening, most people should be fine, if it ain't broke...

Source - https://medium.com/@overcode/fixing-blue...b8dbf7ddd6

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bluetooth/bluez

Code:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Viola!

Now, if you are also not seeing where files are coming into in Linux Lite, they were going into, /home/jerry/.cache/obexd rather than /home/jerry/Downloads.

Fix:

Code:
sudo leafpad /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.bluez.obex.service

replace:

Code:
Exec=/usr/lib/bluetooth/obexd

with:

Code:
Exec=/usr/lib/bluetooth/obexd -r /home/yourusernamehere/Downloads

in my case:

Code:
Exec=/usr/lib/bluetooth/obexd -r /home/jerry/Downloads

Reboot, enjoy Smile

  Accessing an SD Card on a Network Printer
Posted by: Sunny Lord - 09-15-2019, 03:54 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (1)

Hello,

My setup:

I installed Linux Lite 2.0 on a PC on which I previously had Windows XP installed (my son suggested I try migrating to Linux for this machine so I figured why not...I have never worked with Linux before and here is a good opportunity).  It is merely an extra computer in the house that I use since others in the house are so often on my better computer which has Windows 8.1 installed.  Anyway, there are some files that I use quite often that I need to be able to access using both computers.  To do this, I have an SD card installed on an Epson Work Force 610 that is installed as a network printer.  The SD card is formatted in FAT32.

Since installing Linux Lite 2.0, there are some problems I cannot resolve without causing other problems.

a)  I can get to the memorycard via the network on Linux Lite 2.0 and can copy from and paste to the card using the file explorer type software.  But, other programs, such as LibreOffice, the text editor (Leafpad?), and GIMP cannot open files on the card this way or save files to the card.  The programs just do not seem to recognize the card in this setup.0x800f0r1f

b) I have read that to overcome a) one needs to mount the memorycard.  To do this, I have been trying to modify my fstab file.  Using the following:

//192.168.61.8/memorycard /home/rob/memorycard cifs credentials=/home/rob/.smbcredentials,sec=ntlm,rw,user,noauto,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

I can get the memorycard mounted such that the programs can open files from the card and can save new files to the card.  The problem is that if I try to save a file having the same name as a file already there (overwriting or just hitting the save button), none of the programs will let me.  When I try in Leafpad, it says “Can't open file to write.”  When I try in LibreOffice, I get three errors: 1)  “Error saving the document Procedures3:General input/output error while accessing”, 2) “Error saving the document Procedures3:General input/output error while accessing”, and 3) “Error saving the document Procedures3:General Error. General input/output error.” (all very similar but all three come up).  Furthermore, the file that I am trying to overwrite gets corrupted and useless but if I try again to save the still open file as another name, it will do it.  GIMP gives similar results.

c)  Thinking that the problem might be the fact that I am mounting it using cifs as opposed to vfat, I have made attempts at trying to mount the memorycard using:

//192.168.61.8/memorycard /home/rob/memorycard vfat credentials=/home/rob/.smbcredentials,sec=ntlm,rw,user,noauto,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

I have also tried other iterations using various options.  The problem I have with the above is that it won't mount.  I keep getting the following:

mount: special device //192.168.61.8/memorycard does not exist

Now clearly it exists because I can get it to mount using cifs.

So my ultimate question is how can I get this SD card mounted so that the programs can properly overwrite existing files, so I can modify files and merely hit the save button when using the Linux programs?

My current workaround is to have XP loaded in VirtualBox and use that to access things.  But that kind of defeats the purpose of using Linux Lite 2.0 so I would really like a better solution.

thanks

  can't install another language keyboard
Posted by: kris84 - 09-14-2019, 04:25 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (4)

I just upgraded to the new 4.6 release hoping to resolve an issue I'm having. I've been trying to install a second language keyboard to the system, but when I go to Language Support, here's what happens. When I open it I get this message:

The language support is not installed completely.
thunderbird-locale-en-gb
firefox-locale-en
thunderbird-locale-en
thunderbird-locale-en-us

So I tell it to try to install but get this:

Could not install the full language support. Transaction failed: Package dependencies cannot be resolved. The following packages have unmet dependencies:
thunderbird-locale-en: Depends: thunderbird (>= 1:60.8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1) but 1:60.8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 is to be installed

So, okay, back in the Language Support dialog box, I click Install/Remove languages, select Russian and proceed. But I get an error message that says "Software database is broken. It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal to fix this issue first."

Running that in a terminal gives:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree     
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

Can someone tell me what I'm missing?

  How do I find the GPU temperature of an Intel card using command-line?
Posted by: m654321 - 09-14-2019, 10:53 AM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (7)

I sometimes use the 'sensors' with/without the 'watch'  command in terminal to check on CPU temperatures. On the same machine, I'd like to check GPU temperatures - I can find info on this for nvidia GPUs on the web, but not Intel ones. The Dell Lattitude D630 in question (my daily driver - see signature) has an Intel card - details of its video card are contained in the following:

Code:
mike@D630:~$ sudo lshw -C display

Using command-line, how can I get the GPU temperatures?

  Can't write to new drive
Posted by: timbuck2 - 09-13-2019, 05:15 PM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (1)

Installed a new sata SSD and can't write to it.

Partitioned with fdisk
Made the ext4 filesystem with mkfs.ext4
Created the mount point under /mnt
Chmod 777 on the mount point for full permission
Edited /etc/fstab to add the drive
Brought in the drive with mount -all

It works and the drive is mounted...but I can't write to it.  What can I try to fix this?

*Edit*  Sorry, it is fixed.  I redid the steps and now it is ok.

  Digimend drivers for graphics pads - anyone installed them before?
Posted by: lintek - 09-11-2019, 10:49 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

I just purchased a Huion Inspiroy H430P graphics pad.  Digimend (https://digimend.github.io/) has drivers for cheaper pads to run on Linux.  I was wondering if anyone has installed them for their graphics pad before?

I am a bit confused on the process.
