You want to shutdown me? Who do you think will miss something, you or me?
You want to boot me up? I knew it'd be you who miss something!
Now while we are at it, let me help you by downloading 30Gb of unnecessary sh*t
to your hard drive, while you can't do anything about it, except feel me... becoming
slow and smooth... - for you.
Can you do some work now? Oh, I forgot, I must install these too.. Can you wait an hour?
Installed, must reboot now, sorry for your work, but without ME, there wouldn't be any.
So, now that you rebooted, I have time to "configure" these new packages without you
interrupting me. So sorry that your thesis got destroyed last time, won't happen again.
After all, you can always write those 32 pages again.
Booting up again? I knew you'd need me motherf*cker! Why don't you sit tight 2 hours
while I prepare these new updates!
Back again, huh? I have news for you. There is an upgrade package waiting for downloading
and installation. And I'm truly sorry some of your applications won't work any more after that but
those are important updates and your sad apps will go by default.
So, are you ready to upgrade now or shall I auto-upgrade when you reboot?
Do you want personal advertisements or ads which are random? Yes or no?
Do you want me to send all of your personal information, metadata of all of your
files, all of your network activity, all of your contacts etc. directly to some authorities
or do you want me to send only partial information, yes or no?
(Stupid user, I'll send everything anyway).
By the way, accept this Legal Agreement!
Do you agree these 200 pages of Legal Text or not? You should say Yes if
you want to use this piece of crap machine ever again!
Cool, there is a new upgrade waiting to be downloaded, configured and
installed,... man I love to live in his hard drive! I don't pay rent, he pays
my rent if he cares about his system at all.
And I am the one who prevents malicious software to be installed on
his hard drive - where do these people come from?

| Linux Lite kernel update HOWTO |
|
Posted by: kpanic - 06-23-2018, 06:54 PM - Forum: Tutorials
- No Replies

IMPORTANT: Please, do not use this HOWTO if you have installed proprietary drivers
from the installation package! (Yes, this is why Open Source is so cool! )
This HOWTO is mainly for LL power users and I recommend that if you don't have experience how to
update (or create a customized) Linux kernel from the source, then please don't use this guide or
use it on your own responsibility - as always.
Before doing anything, you need to make sure that you have the developer tools installed.
So, open the terminal, become root and install them..
Code: apt-get install build-essential libncurses5-dev libssl-dev ccache wget bison flex
Then close all the unnecessary applications, except the web browser.
Then, open the terminal and become root, this should be obvious 
and cd to /usr/src If that directory does not exist, then create it and cd to it.
Make also your terminal window bigger, so that it is easier to read.
Then go to www.kernel.org with your web browser and see what is the latest stable kernel.
In this example we assume that the latest stable release is 4.17.2
So, in your terminal, download the kernel (you can copy the download link location from there)
to your /usr/src directory using command (assuming the kernel is 4.17.2):
Code: wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.17.2.tar.xz
Then wait... it will take some time to download it. When the download is finished, extract the package:
Code: tar -xf linux-4.17.2.tar.xz
You may now close the web browser, if it is still open.
Create a symbolic link to the source tree, cd into the source and copy the configuration there
and begin the customization of your specific hardware -
So first, while still in /usr/src directory, do:
Code: ln -s linux-4.17.2 linux
Code: cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) ./.config
Here you may make any modifications as you please. For example, if you have a multicore
Intel processor, then you can take the most out of it by selecting it here, instead of running
a "generic x86_64" configuration.
But if you don't have previous experience how to choose these options consistently,
then I suggest that you just click the 'TAB' button a few times until the 'SAVE' is highlighted,
and press 'ENTER'. Then the same to 'EXIT'.
Now, you can compile your kernel, command:
(If your processor has 2 cores, the make option is -j3)
(If your processor has 4 cores, the make option is -j5)
(Just number of cores +1 )
You may find the number of cores like this, for example:
Code: echo Nr Cores: `expr $(lscpu | grep Socket\(s\) | awk '{print $2}') \* $(lscpu | grep Core\(s\) | awk '{print $4}')`
It's not really important here actually. If you don't know it, just leave the '-j' option out of the following 'make' command.
This 'make' command builds your own kernel !
Code: make -j3 2&>1 > /root/compile.log
Now, this may take over an hour or more to finish, so let your
computer be and go watch TV or something (and remember to eat).
If everything did NOT went fine and you got some error message in the end,
then there is no problem. But your kernel did not update and you
don't need to read the rest of this HOWTO. Or you may send me a post
of your error message and IF I HAVE TIME, I will answer to it.
Or, maybe some helpful LL user will reply..
Anyway, you will find the log file of the whole process
in the file: /root/compile.log
You may open it with a text editor and try to find warning- and/or error
messages.
But if everything went fine and there are no error messages on the
last lines, then you may install the new modules:
Code: make modules_install
Then wait until it installs... and finally install the new kernel
Again, wait until it finishes..
Reboot and see how it works.
After reboot, check the kernel version:
Well done, you are running the latest stable kernel - like mama used to made 'em!
Well, If your kernel version is still the old one, it may be that you need to run:
Code: sudo update-initramfs -u
...and wait a moment ...and reboot again
That's all this time folks!

| How do I use LiLi 4.0 with my Windows NAS with 2 word directories |
|
Posted by: rondi - 06-23-2018, 05:58 PM - Forum: Installing Software

I am using this guide to setup my NAS in LiLi 4.0 startup:
http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014...ntu-14-04/
I am down to Mount #4, and I've edited my fstab to include all the info BUT the name of my top directory in the NAS is 0 Shared.
I have multiple computer/iPads that use the NAS, so I prefer not to rename it 0_Shared, as it should be in Linux.
Can I use "0 Shared" in editing the fstab and will it work? It seems to.
However I get this error when I execute:
sudo mount -a
mount: /etc/fstab: parse error at line 3 – ignored
here are the contents of line 3 in fstab this is a single line;
//10.54.29.112/"0 Shared" /media/nas-"0 Shared" cifs credentials=/home/linux/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,gid=999,uid=999,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0770 0 0
I have compared my contents to the one on above link, and I can not see a difference. Can you tell where my error is please?
When I use File System, under Network, I see my NAS, and I can view pix from it. I can not save a file to it yet. My Firewall has default settings (which is Deny all Input), except for 1 Input which I allowed. I probably need to find and add more handshaking UDP's with the NAS.

| Linux Lite 4.0 ISO not booting from USB drive |

Hello Linux Lite forum,
I have been running the 3.x series on my computer for the past year and would like to upgrade from version 3.8 to 4.0. Version 3.8 is currently running fine but would like to upgrade to the new Ubuntu base + LL features. I recently downloaded the ISO using the torrent from the Linux Lite website. I have verified the md5 checksum of the file and ran the command 'file linux-lite-4.0-64bit.iso' which shows the ISO file is bootable. I have tried using both etcher and dd to try writing the ISO image to two different USB drives which complete successfully each time. The dd command I used was 'sudo dd if=linux-lite-4.0-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=4M' which did appear to work fine. Each time I boot to the USB drive, it shows the Linux Lite 4.0 boot screen with the available boot options, I leave the default boot option then after a few seconds it drops to a Busybox screen and stops so it never gets any further than this let alone to the live desktop. I have tested both of my USB drives with etcher and the same dd command with the xubuntu 18.04 ISO and it boots fine into the live desktop. I really want to stay with Linux Lite and get upgraded to v4.0. I am attaching three screenshots, in a .zip file, showing the md5 checksum verification, file output of the ISO, dd output after writing the image to the USB drive and finally where I end up at busybox. Please help figuring out what may be causing this to occur.
Thanks much, Mark

I just updated my Intel Graphics Driver using Intel-Graphics-Update-Tool and after finishing the update I rebooted my laptop for the updates to take effect. Now am stuck at the Linux Lite Logo with "Waiting for network configurations.... and the 60s more". After this I get a blank screen that stays that way forever.
I have tried getting some solutions but none works.
The startx only works with sudo through the terminal.
Someone kindly help, I need the desktop.

| Failed to start vboxadd.service (on boot) |

So I recently installed LL4.0 from the ISO onto an Acer Aspire-E500, and the boot takes way longer than it should.
Referencing the boot.log (see attachment) I see ton of:
A start job is running for vboxadd.service (1min 39s / 5min 2s)
entries followed by:
Failed to start vboxadd.service.
See 'systemctl status vboxadd.service' for details.
Any ideas why this is happening (and or how to rectify it)?

| Dual boot not seeing spinner |

I have an existing Linux install (16.04.4), and am trying to install LL 4.0 alongside, thus dual boot. When installing I reach the options screen where I am offered the chance to install alongside existing Ubuntu install. At the drive selection, it does not show the HDD but only the usb I am installing from. If I quit the installation, I then see icons for the HDD on the desktop. If I try to install again I still do not see the HDD as an option to install to. Hardware in question is an MSI CR 620 laptop.
