| Installing 4.0 (On Wife's Computer) |
|

I will be installing LL 4.0 as soon as it comes out on my computer, and then on my wife's. I anticipate no trouble with my old Gateway GT5656, I already have 3.8 on it with Windows 7, no problems. I want to make sure I don't mess her laptop up. It's a Dell Inspiron N7010. I'm almost positive it uses BIOS rather than UEFI; I can find nothing about UEFI anywhere in support documentation. So, it should go in as smoothly as mine did. One difference with hers is that the install disc is from Dell. (I had to reinstall Windows 7 awhile back, called Dell as I had no disc, and they airmailed it to me in 2 days!). It has a Dell boot screen, versus the Windows 7 one, with those wavy viney things (what was that anyway?).
Should I be on the lookout for anything unusual, since it installed from a Dell disc? I sure don't want to mess up her laptop. I've been talking up Linux for a few years now, and if I blow this, I'll never live it down.
Thanks,
Mike

| Remove Pic identifiers |

Hello,
how to remove meta/EXIF from your pics.
Open your terminal by either clicking its icon in panel.
Or
Hold down Ctrl and Alt and Press t (Ctrl + Alt + t)
Copy/paste, or type in to your terminal -
Code: sudo apt-get install libimage-exiftool-perl
Type in your password when asked.
Press Enter on keyboard.
To read the meta data/EXIF on your photo, copy and paste or type in to your terminal -
Code: exiftool your-image.jpeg
Replacing your-image.jpeg with the jpeg's actual name.
Now you know what data is there you can remove it by, copy/paste or type in to your terminal -
Code: exiftool -all= your-image.jpeg
If you wish to, you know from the first command how to check your file again now.
If you've been totally running amok with the camera and have many images to do.
Navigate in terminal to the directory where your pics are and copy/paste or type in to terminal.
To remove the meta/EXIF from all files with jpeg extension in your directory -
Code: exiftool -all= *.jpeg
Have you used other image file formats?
To remove the meta/EXIF from all image files in this directory, copy/paste or type in to your terminal -
Should you wish you can just remove some area of the data.
Code: exiftool -gps:all= filename
Do not forget to also do
Code: exiftool "-gps*=" filename
to remove XMP data.
You may also want to remove coordinates by do
Code: exiftool -geotag= your-image.jpeg
Now we may want to make it look less obvious, to deter checking, by adding in fake information to the fields, ideas anyone ?
Please add any improvements, alternative methods, and additional information you find on this topic to the thread.
Thanks for reading, I hope it was interesting.
Additional Info
where we use the star *, this is working as a "wild card", it is used in other areas/ways in terminal and so can be interesting as a start point for further searches about using a range of commands this way.

| console-kit-daemon memory consumption |

Hi
Looking through htop to see where my memory has gone and came across 64 or 66 instances of :-
/urs/sbin/console-kit-daemon --no-daemon
Each of these reports .2% MEM - which adds up to quite a lot on a 4gb machine
I understand the console-kit is required on a machine running X so that console login is available - but 64 times????
Any clues on how to trim this down a bit would be welcome - thanks.
UPATE
Removed console-kit - everything seems to work fine so far.

| File manager - can I set it to run a command on selected files |

Hi.
I often use LL when I manage my photo and video collection. I like to have control over the files last modified date, so if I have say converted an image into another format that new image file format would have set file modification date to the time when converted.
Therefore I manually use terminal and uses the touch command to (for the sake of example I put this name) make photograph.webp get the same modified date as photograph.jpg.
Code: touch photograph.webp -dr photograph.jpg
My idea is to set it up somehow so that in file manager I can select two files, and somehow have a menu that call on a command that involve the path of the two files.
Is this possible?

I may not actually have a problem, but want to ask:
I made a copy of a current installation as per "Creating a Live ISO of your installation" (in the manual).
I then copied this to a new usb as per "Writing the Linux Lite ISO to USB in Linux and OSX".
I got the expected terminal confirmation, 1.8Gb copied.
Using GParted to look at the usb I get "Unallocated" and "invalid partition table - recursive partition on /dev/sdb"
I'm assuming that's ok, and if the need arises I can boot from that usb drive!?

I just installed LL on a family member's desktop. The box has both wired and wireless NICs. Because of where the computer is located internet access is via the wireless NIC. The wired NIC is used for the LAN.
How can can I set up the wireless NIC to be the default internet point of access. Currently I have disable the wired NIC in order to access the internet.
Many thanks for reading.

| My LiLi with Persistence stops trying to run an incorrect Display Adaptor driver |

I'm posting this in this forum because I regard it part of Installing Linux.
After successfully installing and updating LiLi 3.8, I did a Set a Restore Point using the Welcome menu, after I installed all the Updates.
The next thing I did was configure my Ethernet & Wireless LAN and my Brother Printer. Both worked fine.
Then I thought I would install the only Update Drivers---listed Display Driver for my Nvida laptop Display Adaptor. It said it was tested--not sure what that means!
Now when it boots, I get to the Yellow background with the feather, then the screen goes black and after maybe 15seconds, a screen pops up that says the Nvida driver is not registered and I should change the driver kernel. And it sits there--never getting into Linux.
I tied to use the Safe Mode, but I did fiddle with adding a new Username & Password. linux is the default username, but I don't know the default password. An Enter does not work, LiLi does not work, Linux does not work. Even if I could get to Linux with safe mode (I assume it uses the basic display driver), would I be able to restore the system from my Backup using Systemback, or do I need to use one compatible with the Welcome screen.
Would someone please post, or PM me with the new install default password?
Thanks,
Ron

| Ugly dark icons in gthumb and other GTK3 apps |

Hi
I have been struggling with what I guess is a .css thing with a couple of applications.
gthumb is one I use the most and it is the horrible dark icons that seem to be a symbolic link to nowhere as I cannot find them on my system - new installation of 3.6
That along with the border that does not honour the window manager selection is just annoying - OK it works but I'd like to get it all looking as though it belonged together.
I have researched .css but have to admit it is way above my understanding. I see what it is doing but lack the skills to make a working solution. It is possible that it needs more Gnome components to be installed - rather not though.
