For a while I've noticed that the Desktop Widget on a Core2Duo laptop of mine (now running 64bit 3.8 ) has been showing 'never updated' for the update status even though I've performed several updates, including the upgrade to 3.8 (but the problem precedes that).
I saw that the updates script for the widget looks for update dates in the history.log in /var/log/apt/ so had a look at that.
I found that no log existed for updates after 24 November 2017 and that the last entry for that date showed an Update Start Date but not an Update End Date.
As I read the script this could well cause the 'never updated' message to appear.

So I then did another update to see what happened. It went through the usual prompts without any problem but once it started the package downloads it just disappeared from view altogether - no window, no status icon - but apt processes were clearly active in the Task Manager. When update was completed the LLUpdates.log appeared and seemed to be all in order apart from some problem with the Flash Updater which it had seemed to resolve.

However, history.log remained unchanged.

I'd be grateful for any pointers on how to fix this, which looks to be more of an apt issue rather than anything to do with the widget.

Thank you

i just deleted a torrent with data and this stupid software didn ' t even ask me if i want to delete the torrent with data with confirmation box , how can i remove this thing and use transmission instead ?

My son was playing Factorio on my LL 3.8 laptop. It froze during the stage of joining a multiplayer game. I tried Ctrl-C and it did not work. I also tried Alt-tab and Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

Finally I did a hard shutdown using the power button. This worked, but it was very much a last resort. My question is, what should I have done (if anything) instead of shutting down with power button? Is there another combination of keys which should have worked to force-quit the game? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've been spending quite a bit of time creating special panels on my desktop to launch project specific programs and open specific file folders.  This is going to be a fantastic system when I'm done, but it takes some time to set it all up.  So my question:

Is there a way to save an entire panel including all its launchers and transfer it to another Linux computer?

The reason I ask is because I'm installing Linux on some of my other computers and I would love to be able to just instantly transfer all these panels and launchers to the new installation.  I realize that some of them might not work due to small differences in paths, etc.  But I could deal with having to just clean up a few paths.  But it would sure save me a lot of time if I could just transfer these newly customized panels over to the newly created Linux systems.

I'd hate to have to redo this all over again from scratch with every new installation.

Thanks

Hey guys I am looking for an screen writer app. I am currently got an book / film idea but I know of macos apps... Thought I ask here to get some ideas.

God not dead. He roaring like an lion.

On an Asus G750JS I'm having problems when playing music.  The subwoofer frequently cuts out, when playing quite loudly, the sound being mainly limited to the inbuilt front speakers.
I need to be able to independently control (reduce) the volume on the subwoofer as I think too much power is going through it and making the cone 'stick' at the limit of its movement.
The problem has been reported elsewhere, though everyone else with this laptop model are using windows 8.1 or 10 and of course have Windows software to allow independent control of the subwoofer, see
https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.ph...ofer-Issue

How do I control the subwoofer volume independently from that of the front speakers in LL3.8?

Many thanks for any help with this

I apologize for being new to Linux, but I'm tying to install a USB device driver for an aftermarket Arduino UNO Board.  This board requires what is called a CH340 serial driver.

I downloaded the driver in a zip file from here:
USB CH341/CH340 LINUX  URL to zip file - http://www.5v.ru/zip/ch341ser_linux.zip

I downloaded this zip file and unzipped it.  It produces three files. 

1. A very short "Readme" file. 
2. A Makefile
3. and a ch34x.c file.

Here's the content of the Readme file:

// ChangeLog
// 1.0 - 1.1  modified to solve transmition between ch341 and ch341

Instructions

Note: 1.Please run followed executable programs as root privilege
      2.Current Driver support versions of linux kernel range from 2.6.25 to 3.9.10
      3.Current Driver support 32bits and 64bits linux systems

Usage:
(load or unload linux driver of CH34x)
//compile
#make
//load ch34x chips driver
#make load
//unload ch34x chips driver
#make unload

The following is the content of the Makefile file:

ifeq ($(KERNELRELEASE), )
KERNELDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD :=$(shell pwd)
default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KERNELDIR)  M=$(PWD) 
clean:
rm -rf .tmp_versions Module.symvers *.mod.c *.o *.ko .*.cmd Module.markers modules.order
load:
modprobe usbserial
insmod ch34x.ko
unload:
rmmod ch34x
else
obj-m := ch34x.o
endif


The ch34x.c file contains a large source code of C programming language.  I can also open that in a text editor and read it, but it's quite large so I won't copy and paste it here.

~~~~~~~

In any case, I don't know what to do with these files?  If I click on the Makefile it just opens in the text editor.

QUESTION: How do I go about actually installing this driver?

I imagine I need to use the terminal and type in commands, but I've never installed anything like this before so I don't know how to do this.

Also if it's possible to just use the command line to do something like $ sudo apt-get install CH340 driver that would be great, but I don't know how to do that either.  This is why I downloaded the zip file in the first place.

Thanks for any help.

Hello,
I downloaded turboprint_2.45-1_amd64.deb trial, hoping it will enable me to use my Canon Pixma MP600. I right clicked on the downloaded file and selected "open with Gdebi package installer", I got a message about broken dependencies:

linux-image-extra-4.4.0-97-generic -- Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.4.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
linux-image-extra-4.4.0-113-generic -- Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.4.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
linux-image-generic -- Generic Linux kernel image

I followed the instruction to run "sudo apt-get install -f" from terminal. It did not work.

I went to the Synaptic Package Manager and using help found broken dependencies and "applied" to fix them, this is the detail from the error box:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-4.4.0-113-generic_4.4.0-113.136_amd64.deb: cannot copy extracted data for './boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-113-generic' to '/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-113-generic.dpkg-new': failed to write (No space left on device)

I should probably tell you, I tried many different things to try to fix it myself, from online searching and a couple of different Linux forum archives, but nothing works and I hope I have not totally messed up my system. If you tell me I just need to reload a fresh copy of Linux Lite, I guess I can, just not looking forward to tweeking Firefox and Thunderbird again.

At one point it said there was "no more room" but I figure I just did something wrong, because this is a new computer & I am a novice Linux user. I found another command to find how my hard drive is being used, this was the result:

:~$ df -H

I searched this forum and found this thread "Re: Broken packages linux kernel".  I found the person had tried many of the commands I did, in the end it looks like the instructions said "Here is what we will do next. We will use dpgk instead. This is a little drastic and can be dangerous at times". Do I dare try these steps myself?

Help please.

I've been interested in Linux Lite for years and finally used it to build a dedicated system as my primary desktop. It's booting off an encrypted SSD, so LVM is already enabled. I'm using LL release 2.6 64-bit and would prefer to stick with this release unless upgrading is absolutely necessary. Hardware is an HP xw8400 PC.

I just added a pair of 2TB SATA HDDs to use as a RAID 1 data store. Set them up as RAID 1 mirrored drives called "storage" in the Intel Matrix Storage Manager and running GParted shows the individual drives as /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc, along with the RAID device as /dev/mapper/isw_beeaagchga_storage.

Here's where I'm stuck - how to turn the RAID 1 device into an encrypted volume? I've seen wildly varying instructions on various blogs and web sites and have tried a couple of different methods with no success. GParted doesn't seem to offer an obvious method.

This is my first post to this forum. Thanks in advance for the assistance.
