IMPORTANT: Only resort to this method if there are no 64bit hardware drivers for your peripheral.

For: Printers, Scanners, Webcams, Game controllers etc.

Peripherals - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral

Scenario:

You have a label printer, the hardware vendor only provides 32bit drivers but you are using Linux Lite 3.x 64bit.

Code:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

Code:
sudo apt-get update

Code:
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libstdc++6:i386

Install your hardware vendor 32bit debian packages.

Done.

Those who may be using Clam-av might want to check this out. Personally I prefer Sophos but to each his own of course.

  Installing Tor in Linux Lite 3.x Series

What is Tor?

Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security. Tor protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, and it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location.

This installs the Tor service, not to be confused with the Tor Web Browser. The Tor Web Browser is a quick and easy way to browse the Internet safely, the Tor service installs directly to your system, allowing you to run a variety of applications through the Tor network. See - https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor...icprograms for how to run programs through Tor.

Edit your sources list:

Code:
sudo leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list


Add the following to the bottom of the file, save and close:

Code:
deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org xenial main deb-src http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org xenial main

Open a terminal, run the following 2 commands separately:

Code:
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89

Code:
gpg --export A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89 | sudo apt-key add -

Update and install:

Code:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install tor deb.torproject.org-keyring

Check the service is running:

Code:
ps aux | grep /tor

Your output should be similar to:

Code:
jerry@z800:~$ ps aux | grep /tor debian-+  3835  0.1  0.2  81756 36032 ?        Ss  20:20  0:01 /usr/bin/tor --defaults-torrc /usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc -f /etc/tor/torrc --RunAsDaemon 0 jerry    11132  0.0  0.0  14224  1004 pts/2    S+  20:36  0:00 grep /tor jerry@z800:~$


Open Firefox (other browsers instructions will be similar)

Open menu Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Settings.
Select Manual proxy configuration.
Enter SOCKS Host: 127.0.0.1 and Port: 9050 and select SOCKS v5 and clear all text in No proxy for: text box.
Press OK.

In Firefox:

double click 'network.proxy.socks_remote_dns' and change to 'true'.

Done.

  Tutorial - removing gpg keys

- No Replies

Hello,
I recently tested a software named Dukto, I uninstalled (total uninstall option) using Install/Remove Software (Synaptic).
When reading my updates log after removal I noticed updates to the keys of the uninstalled program, as the keys remained.
In this link Nitin Venkatesh answered a question about key removal, that I wished to share as it may save someone time searching it out.

To find the keys -

Code:
sudo apt-key list

Reading down the results I found the key for the project creator, 8 characters.

Code:
sudo apt-key del

After the word del 1 space then paste the 8 characters

Repeating
Code:
sudo apt-key list

Shows the key is removed.

  Upgrade from Linux Lite 3.0 to 3.2

Posted by: hughparker1

Forum: Installing Linux Lite
- Replies (3)

I have a multi-boot setup on an old DELL Vostro 1520 (BIOS setup) with Linux Lite 3.0 in charge of grub, which works well. 

I would like to upgrade from 3.0 to 3.2 but have a couple of questions before I do this...

I read on the Release Announcement page that the Lite Upgrade won't do: New Grub config (potential to ruin peoples existing multi-boot setups)

Does this mean that if the upgraded Linux Lite is NOT in charge of grub menu it won't boot?  (so same behavior as 3.0)

Would I need to do a fresh install of 3.2 to get the NEW  multi boot with other distros functionality?

I'm guessing fresh install is the answer but I'm not entirely sure so any advice would be appreciated.
