So recently I've noticed 'lite-updates' won't run and shout at me that there's no internet connection even though there actually is.
After digging in the internet I was led into that post from Nov' 17 where Jerry uploaded a script for updates-gui
I've noticed the script contains a connection check:
# Check Internet access
if eval "curl -sk google.com" >> /dev/null 2>&1; then :; else # Prompt ERROR internet connection check failed and exit
yad --center --borders=15 --info --width="320" --height="120" --window-icon="$_ICON" --button=gtk-ok:1 --title="$_APPNAME" \
--text="\n<b>Your computer is not connected to the Internet.</b> \n \nLinux Lite cannot check for Updates.\nPlease check your internet connection and try again.\n" --text-align center 2>/dev/null
rm_temp_files; exit 0
fiSo I tried running the check myself. I did:
curl -sk google.com
In my case the fix was just reinstall it:
sudo apt-get install curlThis is the second time this is happened to me, sometimes 'curl' get removed when upgrading or installing software that don't need curl as a dependency and overrides it with different version of curl (libcurl3 something?)
I don't know if its a bug but maybe there's a better way to check for internet connection than 'curl'?
Can I install linux-lite4.0 with VMware Workstation? If you can, please install it for me. thank you very much! :-*
I'm trying to get the absolute value of an integer on my LL 4.0 machine. I'd like to use it in the command line. I looked up the man pages for the abs command, and it comes up there. But when I try to use the abs command, it says:
Command 'abs' not found, did you mean...
Then it lists some other things.
I'm puzzled why abs comes up in man pages but it won't work on command-line.
Anyway, the problem is, I can't find how to actually get the absolute value of an integer. Is there a different method I should use?
I have a capable 32-bit Surface 2 tablet whose OS has been abandoned by Microsoft [Windows 8.1 RT]. Has anyone installed Linux Lite on this now-legacy Surface? It's got an excellent display (NVIDIA), 2 Gb RaM and i think an adequate chip.
Hi;a question and suggestion:Most Linux versions I have tried so far had in the ISO version, I mean the first GRUB menu that is loaded, an entry to directly install to the disc drive.
I have that situation very often when I KNOW that I want to install LL on an older computer that I am refurbishing.Can that option be included in LL?TIA

I love Art... and a clean desktop. So, here is the one I use now
Painting by André Derain, "Landscape in Southern France", 1927
(Note the "start" button

I mistakenly deleted the Settings option from the menu. Please tell me how I can get it back.
Thanks,

I have done this on different setups but never on LL.
Anyway, I looked on the internet and found about three different ways depending on the version of Ubuntu. None of them worked.
This what I have done, open /etc/network/interfaces and made it look like this:
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup( 8) and ifdown( 8)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface enp0s10 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
network 192.168.1.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
Then restart the network. That didn't work. Notice the "enp0s10" I normally use "eth0" but found this on a website somewhere.
Problem with the internet you can't tell if a thing is true or not.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi folks,
I really wanted to try LL 4.0 on my Asus TP200SA laptop, which has 32GB of emmc memory soldered to the board. It originally came with Windows 10 which is insane taking into account the amount of memory this device has.While ago I replaced the Windows with Kali linux for some time, but i really didn't use it as much as i once intended so i decided to swap it for LL 4.0 (64bit).
I made a bootable USB with Etcher and disabled security boot in the BIOS settings, also enabled SMC which to my understanding is like legacy mode. My laptop recognized the USB and i proceeded to test the live version (I fell in love, props for the developers) At that point i started installing LL with the provided installer. I chose Erase Everything, installation went smooth and without errors, but after i restarted the computer it went directly into BIOS and doesn't even show the emmc memory as a option to boot from.
I read here on the forum that other people are having this problem too, but couldn't solve it for myself so i decided to ask. I saw somewhere that i should add bootie32.efi to /boot/efi on the usb but i cant find such thing anywhere. I would really appreciate any help from you kind people.
PS I also tried with LL 3.2 32Bit, LL 3.8 32bit and 64bit all without success, except for Kali linux lite 64bit but i used UEFI settings to install it.
Best Regards,
Acho
