A lack of display adjustment application and dissatisfaction with colour rendition, led me to find a commandline application for gamma adjustment.

xgamma -gamma g.g    where g.g is a value between about 0.2 and 2.0

Individual rgb settings can also be changed:

    -rgamma g.g            Red Gamma Value
    -ggamma g.g            Green Gamma Value
    -bgamma g.g            Blue Gamma Value

Hi all.

After 18 months of trying to get Mint to load I thought I'd try 'Lite' and not having to much luck so far. See my post 'Cannot install Lite on SSD'

Another interesting point is that when registering for this forum I could not get confirmation email via Hotmail................?  Odd?

Anyway - looking forward to happier times in 'Lite'.

Regards

Hi all

I'm trying to revive a Fujitsu Amilo 1705 with an 120gb SSD and installing 'Lite' 3.6.

So far, I can get Lite to display the initial pages in 'safe' mode but it will not load onto the SSD.
From (my) memory it displays a panel with various tabs for internet, installing software et al. I couldn't get it to do anything else, so I figured  the only way forward seemed to go for the desktop option to install on a hard drive - which didn't work as it couldn't see the SSD.

SSD has been formatted NTFS and given a E: label since I had to do this on my main W10 (urghh!) and I'm wary of confusing and crashing it so rather than give it an c: - I settled on E;. It is the only drive on the Fujitsu.

I did use MBR as it seemed in sync with an old computer.

If it is a NTFS problem I'm not sure what to change it too or how to. I'm using Western digital data lifeguard diagnostics.

Any thoughts?

Laptop doesnt boot anymore, i disabled and after a reboot enabled trim and now i cant boot laptop. I am asked for a login name and password. My username and password do not work.

[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)][font=]Nvidia has announced that it will be dropping support for 32-bit operating systems at the end of this month (April 2018.) This means that only 64-bit systems will get Game Ready software and driver updates, though critical security updates will still be provided for 32-bit systems through January 2019. The change impacts multiple operating systems, including Windows 7, 8.1, 10, Linux, and Free BSD. This is not much of a surprise.[/font][/color]

When i boot up the laptop i get a black screen for 15 seconds just after the feather screen untill my desktop is visible. This is something new, used to be much much less then that. Ayone any idea what might be the problem?

I posted this question (the title of this thread) fairly recently on goldfinger's 2014 tutorial, which described symlinking data folders (Documents, Downloads, Music, etc) to a separate data partition.

However the question remained unanswered, so am now posting it here as a separate thread in the hope that it will be picked up by someone. Goldfinger's  tutorial can be seen at: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/tutor...partition/   

Question ...
I notice that goldfinger avoided symlinking the 'Desktop' - was there a reason for this?


Is it okay to symlink the Desktop to a separate data partition as done with the other data folders as mentioned above. 


I often download large amounts of data from the internet (e.g. films) and so need quite a large 'Desktop'. The reasoning is if I symlink 'Desktop' to a separate data partition, then I could keep the size of my /home partition to a minimum ...


Many thanks in advance for your help & advice ...

I wanted a simple program to edit pictures so installed Pinta using Lite Software.
After the install it ran just fine from Menu/Graphics/Pinta.
After restarting it no longer runs from Menu/Graphics/Pinta.

Did a search for "Pinta" from the root directory and found a file called Pinta.exe in /usr/lib/pinta/
But upon running this file it opens a program called Archive Manager.

So, now I'm confused. Where has Pinta gone? Why is Pinta.exe running Archive Manager?
And how do I get Pinta back?

I haven't done anything to the files in the system or tried to be clever. Have only used Lite Software, Install/Remove Software and "sudo" in the Terminal for a few basic programs. None of these other cases were programs called Pinta or Archive Manager.

Yesterday I installed LL 3.8 via USB. After the first attempt failed I tried a second one. But before I disabled my internet connection and changed nothing except that I partitioned the disk through *Other. Kept TZ and Keyboard untouched.
After the installation and reboot all worked fine. But the sound only appears via HDMI.
But that doesn't bother me, that is what I planned to use. -> Media PC

After that I changed the keyboard layout and the timezone and let the package update do his work.
Since then, I have no sound at any port. Even HDMI doesn't work anymore.
I checked all what I know, but got not any results.

I had this problem a times ago using Ubuntu LTS on a different system with no solution.
First all is good, but an automated update of the system destroys the sound.
For me the sound is a nightmare, never runs stable and if you make a update all changes to
more worse.

Does any one has a solution for that? I do not like to install the system again.

VLC is running an is attached to the HDMI Port. But the speakers are silent...
I changed the output to the headphone jack. Resulting to no sound.

I've mistyped or misrecorded my main password in a relatively new installation. Previously when I have done this I have  been able to regain control of the system by entering the Recovery menu, selecting the 'root' option and creating a new password for my user.
This time though I have been prompted for the "root password for maintenance". This sounds like a move to improve the physical security of devices which is clearly worthwhile but I have never knowingly created or used such a password, except on a live disk. I have tried a plain [Enter] linuxlite and root but none has worked.
It looks like I might have to reinstall but how do I avoid this situation again (other than by complete accuracy of course, mea culpa without doubt on this).
