  LL Twitter message
Posted by: newtusmaximus - 03-07-2018, 08:22 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (3)

I think that I have understood this correctly? A recent Twitter message made reference that LL versions from 2.0 onwards were available to download for new users.

Surely LL2.0 is no longer supported??  Using an old version of LL would put the machine at risk wouldn't it?

Or have I got the wrong end of the stick, yet again Smile

  Teamviewer 13 not working but Teamviewer 12 does
Posted by: bigmanstrat - 03-07-2018, 11:03 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

I have had a problem with Teamviewer for a couple of months since the upgrade to version 13.  I have been able to see the remote computer but have had no control over it.  This morning I decided to revert back to Teamviewer 12 and it worked immediately.  I have subsequently upgraded to LinuxLite 3.8 on both devices but Teamviewer has reverted to version 13 and has now stopped working.  I can see the remote desktop but neither mouse nor keyboard controls work.  If I revert back to Teamviewer 12 can I prevent it upgrading to version 13 when I update my system files?  I've looked for a specific solution to my issue but haven't been able to find one.

  Question about scripting languages
Posted by: redplanet - 03-06-2018, 09:28 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)

Former MS power user, linux noob, and total LL fan here.  I don't know any languages really, but how can I tell which scripting languages I have available on my system?  Like a list.  I mean this primarily for shell scripts, but also potentially for compilers.  Have been thinking about learning something like python or ruby... I am also aware that I can probably install a package to support an additional language (scripted or compiled) if I want to.

  no monitor network connections
Posted by: trinidad - 03-06-2018, 05:57 PM - Forum: Desktop Customization - No Replies

 
A few years back doing certain things, such as conveniently testing scripts and software on bare metal systems was difficult and time consuming generally involving home server deployments, and/or the desktop clutter of multiple keyboards and monitors. On the plus side virtual computing began its evolution into what it is today with applications like gnome-boxes, Oracle virtual box, Vmware and so forth, but perhaps less notably some other quite useful applications evolved as well, like Remmina, open SSH, x11vnc, and network manager. Those of us who have several machines, and want to make attempts at OS tweaking such as modifying 32 bit systems on their own baremetal hardware from our powerful 64bit boxes don’t really need the multiple monitors and keyboards as in the past, and/or we don’t need to configure headless servers and complex sharing applications via the terminal either.


I am currently modifying a Debian 9 32bit system toward a Linux Lite look and feel, partly for fun, and partly because this stable 32bit is probably the last best of its kind. Opinions vary. In any case the process I am about to describe is something anyone can do nowadays because of the refined nature of Linux networking these days. Many of the old headaches (starting x11vnc at startup, connecting to shared ethernet, autologin etc.) are simply no longer a problem.


Go ahead and install a Linux Ubuntu/LL or a Debian 9 32bit system on that old hardware. Use the monitor at first, and the keyboard and mouse so that everything configures correctly. Install openSSH server to it. Install x11vnc to it. Set the system to auotlogin. *With Debain 9 XFCE apply the changes in this link to lightdm. https://steemit.com/software/@kskarthik/...in-lightdm


Next connect your other computer to it via ethernet. In LL simply create a new wired connection with IPv4 set to -shared to other computers- and save the connection. Connect to it and then connect to that connection from the 32bit machine. If your bigger machine has WIFI you will now have an internet connection on the old 32bit box without needing a card or dongle drivers. Set the old 32bit box to connect automatically and allow all users and save the connection. Once everything connects note the IP addresses of the two machines. (connections information in network manager) You do not need to change firewall settings on either machine or open any ports for any of this. Your big machine with the shared connection is likely to be addressed to 10.42.0.1 and the old 32bit machine is likely to be 10.42.0.253 on a broadcom pcix card.


Open Remmina on your big machine and set up sftp, secure shell, and vnc computing connections to the 32bit machine i/e 10.42.0.253 address. Shut down your 32bit machine. Turn it back on without the monitor. Give it time to autologin and connect via ethernet. *Make sure you connect to your wired connection on the big machine. See the video below for demonstration.




https://youtu.be/zlYfWeAO2GI



As you can see from the video I tried to connect before the 32bit system was completely loaded. Also note that the ethernet connection ends when the 32bit machine shuts down. You can also see that the defaults for x11vnc and openSSH are correct for simple passworded connections. Newbies can certainly set this up easily. Install from synaptic and you’re good to go. Go ahead and set Remmina vnc computing for the best (slowest) and 24bit true color. It doesn’t matter if the x server package on the old machine is glitchy, your video is running on the big machine.

  How to limit Chromium browser's cache size
Posted by: Lex24 - 03-05-2018, 09:52 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)


I would like to limit the cache size in Chromium browser to 50 MB (52428800 bytes). Apparently you need to add the following parameter to the startup command:

Code:
--disk-cache-size=52428800


1) Do you need to edit the command separately in the following two places, or can this somehow be done globally? Chromium is already set to Preferred Web Browser in Settings - Preferred Applications.

Alacarte Menu Editor
Code:
chromium-browser %U --disk-cache-size=52428800

Settings - Keyboard - Application Shortcuts

Code:
# is this ok?
exo-open --launch WebBrowser --disk-cache-size=52428800

# or do you need to replace this
exo-open --launch WebBrowser
# with this
chromium-browser %U --disk-cache-size=52428800

Does %U URL parameter need to be appended to the startup command in both Alacarte and Application Shortcuts?


2) Typing the following address in Chromium's address bar used to show the page with all kinds of statistics (including the new cache size limit), but all what I can get in Chromium v64 is mostly a blank page, so it is impossible to verify that the new size limit is in place:

Code:
chrome://net-internals/#httpCache
# or
chrome://net-internals/#httpCache page
