How does Linux Lite handle when new updates are available?
I notice in Linux Mint or other Ubuntu Distro's you either get something come up on the screen or in the panel telling you new updates are available
I was curious how linux lite does this as I have not see any sort of notification of new updates and have had to manually check if updates exist to download and install
Is there some sort of way to tell users about new updates? as I have installed this on my sister's computer and the first thing she asked (she has never used anything but Windows before) is how do I know when to update it?

| Suggestion for Live-CD concerning HD use |

[shadow=slategray,right]My English is not perfect, although I currently try nearly every day to train it.[/shadow]
I've two suggestions: One, which concerns especially the live CD of Linux Lite, and another one, which concerns every Linux Live-CD.
Situation
Maybe very special and maybe you think, it's therefore unimportant:
I'm using a PC with 2 hard drives: - an internal drive, build-in, primary drive, commonly addressed as [tt]/dev/sda[/tt];
- an external drive, connected via usb, commonly addressed as [tt]/dev/sdb[/tt].
But [tt]sda[/tt] is defect, [tt]sdb[/tt] has no problems and is twice as large as [tt]sda[/tt].
Reaction of Linux Live CDs
Most live cds -- I've used especially Parsix, Bodhi, Mint, aptosid. -- seem to be able to handle this situation without problems. As far as I can see, their live cd checks sda, recognizes, that there is a problem, but seems to ignore it after 2 or some more tries. Not so Linux Lite. I assume, it tries untiringly to check or use sda. A few days ago, I've canceled the start of the Lite CD, because it wasn't ready after about 30 minutes. Most live cds like Mint or Parsix are ready after few minutes and they do work correct for days.
First Suggestion
The live cd of Linux Lite should ignore sda after few checks, if it has recognized, that sda does no work correct.
Second Suggestion
I'm educated in Linux, but I do not know in detail how live cds do work. I only know, that the technology was introduced by Knoppix. As far as I can see as an user of live cds they all use my sda, for swapping and other purposes.
My second suggestion is, that it might be configurable or the standard, that a live cd does no make any use of a hard drive, which obviously does no work correct, even if it is the primary drive, as long as there is another hd, which works fine. Why the hell do they not use sdb, my external drive, which is twice as large as sda and makes no problems? I have not tried to install Linux to sda, I simply use the live cd.
Regards
JohnD - surely another pseudo.
Linux CD: There is a primary, so I will use it.
Users Ghost: It doesn't work.
Linux CD: I see, but it's THE primary.
Users Ghost: But this primary DOESN'T WORK!
Linux CD: Anyway, I will try this primary thing.
Users Ghost: This primary is dead.
[b]Linux CD:[/b] I don't care. I can feel, that it is there, and I need such a primary.
Users Ghost: IT WILL NOT WORK, NEVER EVER. L-e-t i-t g-o!
Linux CD: No, no, I will do it all night with this dirty primary.
User: I know it's a machine and a program system, but I need a beer or a tea or I could murder the system.

| lxterminal Background Jobs |

Posted by: koken - 08-06-2016, 09:03 PM - Forum: Scripting and Bash

Hello,
I have a script, called logs, that prints log information inside an lxterminal window.
From inside lxterminal I can start it like this: logs &
It fills the screen with new data each minute, and I can also type quick commands which return information. For example ls or df.
All this works fine when I type the command, but I want a bash script to open an lxterminal and have logs start running in the background with the capability to type commands in as needed.
This bash script line will run, but not in the background: lxterminal -e 'bash -c "~/scripts/logs"'
I thought I could us "&" to get it to run in background, but it doesn't work.
This line doesn't run at all: lxterminal -e 'bash -c "~/scripts/logs"' &
I'm using this to open multiple terminal windows, and I want this one lxterminal window to start it's job in the background so commands can be entered.
Any ideas?
Thanks, koken

Whilst removing a mod today, it affected the rest of the Forum. This was unforeseen but thankfully we have daily backups.
There will be a few posts lost and I apologise for this. Forum mod removals are pretty standard to perform but this one turned on us in a bad way.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

I'm relatively new to Linux and I would like to learn more about it. I've been using Linux lite since February of this year and haven't really dug into it. I use it almost entirely for gaming, and if I have a problem i just avoid it as much as i can. To be honest I'm very intimidated. Does anyone have any advice on where to start learning? Thank you for the help. (also new to forums so sorry if I do something wrong)
