  Mise à jour BIOS
Posted by: bonnevie - 02-21-2018, 10:52 PM - Forum: French [French] - Replies (3)

Salut TheDead!
J'ai lu ceci dans un de tes réçents posts:

Quote:Took the time to upgrade the BIOS, just in case.
Pourrais-tu me dire comment tu fais la mise à jour de BIOS?  J'ai un message d'erreur/upgrade BIOS chaque fois que je démarre LL, mais ça n'empêche pas le fonctionnement normal.  Par prudence, j'aimerais bien pouvoir faire la mise à jour de BIOS sur mes deux machines.  Ce que j'ai "googlé" ne me paraît pas clair. Dans ton cas, qu'est-ce que tu as fait?

  Libre office - possible to start blank?
Posted by: Sprintrdriver - 02-21-2018, 05:36 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (1)

Hi.

If installing Libre Office (any OS) as not part of OS, there would nomally be a shortcut named ust "Libre Office" without starting with any template. That opens a sort of "start screen" that show thumbnails of most recent documents.

To get here using the Libre Office that follow the OS install, I first have to navigate the menu and find Office New Document (or spreadshet or presentation), and from then I must close the document template to get where I can see the thumbnails screen.

My question:

[edit while still not posted]
Just figured it out.

Right click desktop New launcher  in field command, just type "libreoffice" and it works  ;D

That is the solution for the problem...

  bin folders
Posted by: bitsnpcs - 02-21-2018, 03:09 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

Hello,

unsure if its the correct section, the bash section says for tutorials and code, and it is a question so I was not sure.

Just starting with this section of book (Linux Bible), here is the screenshot of the PATH echo in LL 3.2

[Image: path.png]


The first 2 and the last 1 in the PATH there are no bin folders here.

It is saying in the book to add your own commands or shell scripts to the

Code:
/home/bitsnpcs/bin

as it is checking left to right, so it would be first checked.

Should I just make this folder, are bin folders made the same way as other folders or does it need anything special done to it ?
Or is there a more preferred location ?

  Drifting pointer on Dell D800 running LL 3.4
Posted by: JanetBiggar - 02-21-2018, 11:00 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (6)

Yet another question!

I had this same issue when this computer was running Win XP and I applied a fix in Win XP at that time (I've forgotten exactly what it was, however moot point as now it's running LL 3.4).

I tried the suggestions in this link: https://cederlys.wordpress.com/2010/07/1...in-ubuntu/

I went through the steps it mentioned and got the info on my pointer:
AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint Stick id=12 so I put the necessary info from this line into the line he states in his blog.

There was NO change, in fact it seemed worse.  Regardless of whether I use a USB mouse or the trackpad at times the pointer works fine then suddenly it will drift off to the upper left and sit in the corner and not budge.  I'm unable to get it to move either with the external mouse or the track pad.  It will remain unresponsive for a minute or so then return to normal function.  It's liveable albeit annoying  Wink

Any suggestions?

I did make a system report early this morning although I'm unsure whether it uploaded to the database.  I saved it on the computer and if it will provide any info I can add it to this thread.

  No network after installing kernel
Posted by: CSNLinux - 02-20-2018, 09:09 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (32)

Well,

I bit off more than I could chew on. But that's quite normal for one who want's to go to fast when he just learned how to walk.

Okay, what's the problem...

Like my older posts, I'm still triyng to figure out how to get my wifi up and running on my laptop on LL3.8

I did some searching here and there. Tried some possible solutions untill yesterday when I stumbled upon one that told me about Kernel 4.12.
So, as noob as I am. downloaded and installed it. restarted my laptop and BAM!
No connection or what so ever.

So, now I'm on my Windows desktop writing this post. This one is next to go cold-turkey and meet LL. But first solve some problems.

If there's anyone amongst you who would/can make some time to give me a step-by-step instruction for this matter, he/she would make me a very happy man.

  Getting rid of splash screen during boot/shutdown
Posted by: mezzmer - 02-20-2018, 09:07 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (8)

Is there an easy way to get rid of splash screen during boot/shutdown?

I would rather see messages scroll by so I can tell if something useful is happening or if the system has hung somewhere during the boot process. 

Thanks in advance.

I've duplicated the answer below so you don't need to read everything:

Quote:Full Credit to supergamer-with thanks to TheDead/Jerry for helping to get the typos out and making the answer crystal clear. 

For those who like the command line:
sudo leafpad /etc/default/grub
Make the change described below
sudo update-grub

(02-20-2018, 11:03 PM)supergamer link Wrote: There is an easier solution that can be easily modified. Use these commands.

sudo thunar

type in password:

Go to the /etc/default folder and right click and open up the grub text file. Find the line [size=1.35em]"GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"[/size]

Make it look like this:
"#GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

Close out the grub text file and folder and you should still have the terminal opened up.
Run:
sudo update-grub

Reboot and it should be like you like it. To put the splash back in just reverse what you did with editing the line in the grub file.

  Difference between LL Update/Upgrade tools & apt / apt-get / aptitude / synaptic
Posted by: mezzmer - 02-20-2018, 08:45 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

There are many package tools:

The graphical tools for Update/Upgrade that are available from the Linux Lite menus
and
the Higher Level Debian tools: apt / apt-get / aptitude / synaptic
and
dpkg

Can someone please tell me are all these tools just front ends for dpkg?

Do they all use the same repo lists, or is there a possibility that they may end up using different lists and damage an installation?

Since there are different ways to accomplish the same task, it would be good to know if they are all equivalent/safe, or if there are methods that should be avoided.

In particular keeping up with security updates...  apt-get update / apt-upgrade OK or NOT?

Should I use apt or apt-get or doesn't it matter?

What about aptitude (command line) or synaptic (gui) - at the moment they seem to indicate 4 upgradeable packages (all part of python).  I don't care about them on this VM, but if I did care would be nice to be able to update. 

It seems at the moment those updates are included in all method, but the graphical tools want to update a larger list of packages.

Can someone offer some insight on the workflow regarding updating and how updates/upgrades get migrated from Ubuntu to Linux Lite.

Any input/references etc. will be much appreciated.

Output from apt-get upgrade (not run) - same results as aptitude/synaptic

They should mimic MX Linux a bit, have excellent gui tools for the user, it is very fast and uses kernel 4.13 After trying MX Linux, the truth ... I do not return anymore to Linux Lite. I found in MX what I needed and much more, and that Linux Lite gave me until today, but I was very little. Hopefully improve and imitate a bit of this great MX Linux distro, so there will be an excellent distro based on Debian and another based on Ubuntu (Linux Lite) Thanks for everything Linxu LIte, hopefully improve, the best for the team.  8)
