  Installing Lite 3.0 on External Hard drive
Posted by: RobGoss - 09-07-2016, 11:53 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (6)

After not be able to install 3.0 on one of my machines I decided to see how well it performs on a external hard drive

First I try installing 3.0 and for some reason when I installed Google Chrome and open it I have a line across the middle of the screen faded but I can see it odd

I didn't know what to make of it because I don't have issues like this on any other device. So I also install Chromium and had the same problem

I then decide to remove Lite 3.0 and install 2.8, no issues with using the Google Chrome browser of Chromium. Anyone have any idea's what might be the problem with 3.0? and Google Chrome and Chromium

Thanks so much for any help with this I would really like to install Lite 3.0 if I could

  Tutorial/ Remote SSH Secure Shell Via Ad Hoc Wifi Using Remmina
Posted by: trinidad - 09-06-2016, 08:03 PM - Forum: Tutorials - No Replies

          This tutorial is specific to enabling a remote Linux Lite 3.0 Secure Shell on another wifi connected Linux computer utilizing Remmina. Remmina works well on most modern Debian based and/or Ubuntu based Linux distros. I will be using a Solydx laptop, a similar Debian based XFCE distro a little less hybrid and a little less compatible with Ubuntu than Linux Lite, but suitable for the purposes of this tutorial.

          To begin open a terminal in Linux Lite 3.0 and type- sudo systemctl start ssh -. Enter your password and ssh will start on Linux Lite. We will connect via ad hoc wifi the first time, so reset the firewalls on both machines as in our previous tutorial. Select and connect to the ad hoc wifi hosted network we set up in the last tutorial with your Linux Lite machine.

          Go to your other Linux computer, and if XFCE click >Menu>Internet>Remmina to open it. Click on >Connection at the top left of the window and from the drop down down menu select >New. A window will open entitled Remote Desktop Preferences. In the box next to >Name type in the the netbios name of your Linux Lite 3.0 computer (the one we will be connecting to). In the box next to >Group simply type in / a forward slash. In the box next to >Protocol click open the drop down menu and locate and click on >SSH Secure Shell. In the box next to >Server type in 10.42.0.1 i/e the ad hoc wifi IP address of you Linux Lite computer. Leave the >Character set and Startup program boxes blank for now. Type your Linux Lite sudo user name in the box next to >User name. Turn on the >Password radio button. Click the >Save button in the lower left corner of the window.

          Now click on your new SSH remote secure shell connection, and from the menu select >Connect. A remote desktop terminal shell will appear immediately reading at the first line >Welcome to Linux Lite 3.0 (listing after which kernel is in use by the Linux Lite system), a few lines below listing *Documentation, *Management, and *Support URLs. Next the number of available updates may be listed, and qualified as to security in the next line. The next line will usually be Last Login: with a date, and the IP address of the computer that logged in. Next will be the your Linux Lite command prompt now usable from your SSH connected other Linux machine as a secure shell remote terminal. To exit the shell type in >exit at the prompt and hit >enter. More networking power added.

  Greetings and Salutations.
Posted by: nevets68 - 09-05-2016, 06:27 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (5)

Hello all -

I recently (well somewhat recently) got a laptop from the local recycling center in my town.  Why anyone would throw away a laptop like this boggles the mind.

It's a Samsung ( I don't know what model # it is) but it came with 8 gigs of ram and a Intel i7 ( I believe it's sandybridge based.)
The battery was on it's last leg so i went to ebay and got a new one.
The previous owner removed the old hard drive, which leads me too...

There's a store near me called " Microcenter" that sells computer parts, etc. I got a toshiba/ocz ssd 240 gig and put that into the laptop.
I just installed linuxlite o/s and this pc FLIES! All the hardware was detected...the FN keys for volume/brightness worked right out the of box ( or usb flash drive in my case.) Wink

As for my "linux" knowledge, I'm what you'd call " a newbie of biblical proportions." Big Grin 
I look forward to reading up on linuxlite and learning from all you fine folks.

  LAN on Linux Lite
Posted by: Dragoljub - 09-05-2016, 01:21 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (7)

I would like to ask for a basic instructions how to configure Lan between two Linux Lite machines (latest LL 3 on an old machine and LL 2. on relatively new machine). I simply pluged in network cable, indicators are showing that machines are trying to connect, but they don't connect after a while, ethernet network. Previously, a few months ago, I was reading instructions for setting network share, and I was trying to set a share between Windows and Linux, but this is probably next phase, does this influence on connection maybe?

  Cannot install software
Posted by: paul1149 - 09-05-2016, 11:59 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (3)

Hi folks,


I've run up against a problem in LL 3.0 x64. I went to install the latest version of Bleachbit, and the installer told me there is an older version in the repository. I Closed that message, but the installer would not go on, saying another installer was already running. This happened even upon a fresh boot with nothing else done in the session.


So I opened up Synaptic and it told me there was an error, and to run dpkg --configure -a . It ran, but with errors. I then opened Synaptic and it said there were broken packages that had to be remedied. Turns out the broken package was linux-generic 4.4.0.36.38, which sounds pretty important to me.


I attempted to reinstall the package, but got Internal error. No file name for linux-generic:amd64. A retrybrought the same error.


I don't know if the Bleachbit install error is tied to this other one, but I suspect so. Is there a solution to this?


Thank you.
