Hi, all,

Sorry for the embarrassing opening statement as I have worked in IT support for many years...

...but I failed to note the exact error at the time it occurred...

I know.  I know.

Mounting a Kingston DataTraveller G4 16Gb USB stick it appeared to mount, but on attempting to copy a .tar.gz archive from my HD reported a permissions error.  The drive had worked yesterday in initial testing.

I had had this problem before when trying out Ubuntu-Unity, but thought it might either be a bug in that distro's file handler (Nautilus?) or else something happening after I tried using a different USB stick first (which also didn't work properly).

The Kingston USB drive was sold as compatible with Linux by my local computer store, who also couldn't resolve the problem.

The syslog file reports the following (the subsequent corruption was possibly due to me physically removing the drive after cancelling the copy attempt in Thunar, at which point it disappeared from the list of attached drives).  Syslog below my sign-off.

Any help will be greatly appreciated as this is (again) blocking my ability to backup data.

Thanks,
Ian

Hello all. Looking for a pointer or two after having a failed install attempt of Linux Lite.

The laptop is an older one, A Dell Inspiron 8200. RAM is just 1GB, CPU is a Pentium 4. Originally it was running Windows XP but recently had Xubuntu installed. That didn't seem to run well so I tried to install Linux Lite.

During the install an error dialog box popped up indicating that the machine should be rebooted. It would not go through the reboot sequence so I held the power button down until it shut off.

I now have a laptop that will not stay powered up. It comes on, the optical drive spools up and then the system shuts down.

Suggestions?

TY.

I've attempted to preload SeaMonkey via the "Preload Apps" option in Tweaks 3 or 4 times now. Seems it doesn't want to work exactly right. What I have now is a situation where it only loads maybe every 10th or 12th time, and loads very late. I almost always already have a version open by the time it suddenly appears.

What I need to now is how to undo the preload. Is there a file I can edit to remove it completely?

Hi, all,

Well, I have officially made the switch to Linux Lite from Windows 10 this afternoon.

I had planned to switch anyway, testing the water with the option to fail back to Windows 10 for the time-being should any major problems arise...

...but Microsoft being a major "problem" (or some other word), my Windows 10 laptop has decided it doesn't want to update now.  Which is, I suppose, at least a less unpleasant change from wanting to update whenever it does, rather than when I'm ready to.

Having tested LL for the past week, I have this old familiar feeling again - like I'm flying the aeroplane... rather than some faceless corporation is flying "my" aeroplane, making me pay through the nose for the privilege, and not taking me where I want to go either.

Only three or four minor issues found, which I may post on the forum if I cannot find any work-arounds.  None of the serious (yay!)    Then again, the work-arounds may be helpful for someone anyway if I can find them.

Anyone else fallen in love with LL after years of a, er, troubled marriage with Windows?

Hmmm... is this an affair?  No, I'm definitely wanting to leave my "wife".  I want a divorce, Microsoft!  ;D

Thanks again for all of you making me feel welcome.

Ian

Hi there, guys. I'm new here and this is my first time using Linux (wisely a friend recommended me Linux lite) and I have a problem. (I hope you can understand me because my mother language is Spanish so I'm doing my best to explain myself and my problem) Today I wanted to install updates and I got this message (I really hope somebody can help me) I don't know what to do or how I could fix it  :'(

With the demise of Systemback, I have been trying out Clonezilla to make system images. zRAM is activated , Clonezilla says it has successfully created an image, but when I ask for the image to be verified, it says it is faulty and can not be used to restore a system. A number of images have been created, all with the same result. As it takes around an hour to create an image, I am reluctant to waste any more time.

My question is, is zRAM causing the problem, anyone using clonezilla with zRAM getting successful images created?

The same Clonezilla boot disk has been used on another system without zRAM and successfully created an image.

Please ignore this - I realised later that the L.Lite system is not running when Clonezilla is booted! Its just making an image of the hard disk.  :-[

Hi folks. I have a question. My computer runs on a 64-bit processor (Intel Core 2Duo) but it boots via 32-bit EFi.

Is it possible to install Linux Lite OS 64-bit on this computer? Will it boot on the 32-bit EFI via Refind? If so, will it run fine on 2GB RAM only?

Thanks.

I have been testing neofetch for awhile now and I believe it is now at the point where it could be included in Lite software. I'm using the ppa and the very newest version (3.0 for Ubu 17.xx) and it is clean and fast and quite accurate so far. We do need to get an ASCII feather to the developer, but because it is not coded the convoluted way screenfetch is I think this will be a good application in the future.

Hi. I have a a spare SATA hard drive with a case that means i can plug it in as a USB. It's not used. I would like to install LL on it as a backup drive/comp. I have the ISO from all my installs to my other Comps. How do i go about this please? All my other M/C's run LL 3.4. 64 bit.

Realise GE is not supported officially within the forum.

Fresh install LL3.6 64bit of HP desktop dc7700p.
Ralphy came to my rescue earlier (March 2017)  when using LL3.2 64bit on this machine.  (See Below quote)
Followed same Terminal procedures , but this time GE  map part appears to be miniaturised within the main GE window frame.

Help appreciated.

Terminal:

Code:

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts wget -O google-earth.sh http://drive.noobslab.com/data/apps/google-earth/google-earth.sh chmod +x google-earth.sh sudo ./google-earth.sh

After installation I created a Launcher on the desktop as usual. You can always start it from terminal with google-earth

UPDATE:  Seems to prefer working within a Chrome Browser window??  There is a link within the GE window LH pane,  lower third which says something like  "The New Google Earth". Clicking this link fire3s up a splash screen  encouraging downloading Google Chrome.  Once GC is installed and the GE fire up process repeated, GE seems to fire up in C Google Chrome OK.

Question- does GE now only work if G Chrome is installed?
