OK, kind of a *ix noob here.  I did google this and found a lot of useless info already, mostly on askubuntu (it IS a bigger community and tends to come up...  and since LL is derived from U) I am a long-time windows user so forgive me if I use the win terms.

Want to start trying out some VPNs, mostly know how it works.  On the network context menu, it has "VPN Connections", with a sub menu "Add a VPN Connection", but it is greyed out.  I ran this CL to install, as per instructions from the provider:

sudo apt-get install openvpn network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome

(yes, I know xfce)
and

sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc network-manager-openvpn pptp-linux

All of which were already installed.  I found the firewall applet, turned off, no effect.  I should note that I fiddle with my config (i.e. firmware router settings) more than seems appropriate, so could be related.  pptp-linux is also installed.  I think I am using LL 4.0 as I just ran apt-get upgrade yesterday.  When I edit the connection, and try to enable the "Automatically connect to VPN", it lets me fill the check-box, but never saves nor does it allow me to use the pull-down options (may have to be set up first?).

Halp.

Hello,

In Chapter 15 of , The Linux Command Line, there is a command -

It should produce a list and then a SD card is added , it is an example of how the kernel will notice the device and probe it. I can follow the example in the book.
When I run this command (which is not an exercise in the book but I wanted to see it in action) I cannot get a result in terminal myself to then add a USB stick and watch this in action. Maybe the path needs to be different ?

Earlier in the Chapter I had read this -
"quote of Mr.Shotts - First let's look at how the system names devices. If we list the contents of the /dev directory (where all devices live), we can see that there are lots and lots of devices:
"

This gave me an idea to experiment using the above command, I was trying this below code to determine newly added device names by comparison -

My belief was it would show only those with sd naming using the wildcard *, I had learned previously in earlier chapters of "The Linux Command Line" about sd,  and about using wildcard.

Below is a screenshot of my output, and source of my question



As you can see I ran the code , I then inserted a USB stick and used up arrow on keyboard to reuse the same code and run it again, thus allowing for a comparison of before and after adding the USB stick.
It produced 2 new results the /dev/sdb and the /dev/sdb1 rather than the 1 new result I was expecting, why is this ?

I installed 1C software. 1C is program for managing processes in enterpise. Developed by Russian programmers. Problems occurs even on Windows OS. Well, i succesfully installed this program and can run as admin.
But i cant run program as another user! I tried different ways and got different errors.

1) Run icon appeared in menu - nothing happend (in task manager i see process only for 5 sec and then it dissapear)

2) Run "/opt/1C/v8.3/x86_64/1cv8c" in terminal (working for admin aswell) - error:

Original

Translate
3) Run "sudo /opt/1C/v8.3/x86_64/1cv8c" in terminal - warning:
When i run same code as admin the same error appearing for me, but program start anyway!

I edited visudo:

I edited permissions i all directories related to 1C everywhere to allow edit and delete for everyone.

Assuming: admin and user typing the same code. Admin running program in any way. User can't start program at all. How to fix?

Does it have a Playstore like Android where I can see a selection of applications, there names and their uses? I tried looking at Synaptics but I got more confused since I am not familiar with anything I found there  :'(

A friend donated a new Acer C731 chromebook to me to use with the youth I help in South Africa. Since we do not often have internet access I am wanting to convert it to run Linux Lite 3.8 like I have two other Chromebook, however I am battling to do so!

I have successfully loaded SeaBIOS (legacy boot) and set the gbb flags. OS verification is OFF and I have enabled USB booting.

However, when I put in my USB stick the boot menu gives me the option to boot from the USB, I choose it, the USB light flashes, a small Linux lite menu shows in the upper right corner (although the countdown to automatically launching does not countdown), I can choose run Linux lite, the LL feather logo comes up (to fill the screen) then after several seconds a black screen with some script shows for a very short period (I haven't yet been able to get a photo of what this script says, but will try) then it goes black and shows a flashing "-" and the light on the USB goes out. Nothing happens after that.

I have usb boot enabled on it as well "OS verification OFF".  This same USB works when I put it in one of the other chrome books to confirm it works.

Any ideas of what I can do to get this Acer to allow the USB to boot so that I can load and then install LL if all is fine?

Thanks in advance, Janet

How can I help to Linux Lite turkish translation ? (Or do you have a plan like translating linux lite to turkish.

I'm trying to use RDP to connect from a Windows machine to my LL 4.0 box.
I  installed Xrdp, confirmed the port in the /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini file, opened the port in the firewall, and started the service with "sudo service xrdp restart".
When connecting from my Windows machine I get an xrdp "Just connecting" window (so I know I'm getting to the box) where I select Session: "X11rdp", enter my username and password, and click OK.
Then it sits at a teal screen for a while (~4 min) then gives me a message showing:connecting to sesman ip 127.0.0.1 port 3350sesman connect oksending login info to session manager, please wait...login successful for display 10started connectingconnection problem, giving upsome problem
Checking the xrdp.log file I see a bunch of closed socket messges.
Any suggestions on what I'm missing?
Thanks.

Hi all,


I got a question. My previous new laptop did die after a week and now got a new one. This got a 128gb ssd and a 1tb hdd installed
At the moment windows 10 is installed on the ssd. I would like to keep windows 10 but move it to the hdd


What is the best solution of moving windows 10 to the hdd and then installing linux lite on the ssd?


Solved it by only installing Linux Lite

I have installed Linux Lite literally hundreds of times. I have yet to encounter an unsurmountable issue. Here I am suddenly puzzled. I simply cannot get the Lite Tweaks UI to remove the suspend & hibernate buttons from the logout screen. OS runs perfectly, machine is Intel Dell and not exotic. For some reason tweaks is not requiring authentication for this option, and it is a desktop not a laptop, so somewhere in those configurations is where the issue lies. It's not possible to reboot and install without authentication in Debian, yet Lite Tweaks is seeming to attempt this concerning hiding the buttons.
