I was using Session and Startup to try to Automount my Data partition from a Mint Forum post

This used "Disk" but it did not work for me - the options were Greyed out so I tried this

Add (opens little window), put:
udisks --mount /dev/sdx
(where sdx is the name of your disk)
in the 'Command' text box. Name process
something like 'Auto-mount', hit 'Add' and
make sure it's ticked under 'Startup programs'.
[/td][/tr][/table]


I had a "Startup" for Keepboard which did not work after I used (udisks --mount /dev/sd5) etc for 3 partitions. Even the LinuxLite sound was not given even though it was ticked . It might just be coincidence but when I removed my additions to Startup it came back but Keepboard did not ?


When I check for the "Keepboard"it is not found even with Hidden files searches .


I am looking for help to see if the Keepboard Files can be recovered using if possible a GUI . My recent attempts at finding solutions only seam to result in finding I need a solution for my solution -etc etc

I want to delete a symlink between a directory in  /home on sda (where LL's OS is located) and sdb (where data files are located).
Just want to be sure I'm doing this properly and no links are left 'hanging'...

Many thanks in advance for any help

  Intel NUC and HD6000 Graphics
Posted by: Wirezfree - 11-01-2015, 10:35 AM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (10)

Hi,

I've been trying to install LL on a friends New "Rock Canyon" version of an Intel NUC.
This version contain Intel HD6000 graphics,
The older "Maple Canyon" version was Intel HD5500 and apperently worked.

When you boot the NUC the grub screen appears,
then when the installer starts it is all corrupted and unusable.
Support for Intel HD6000 was added in kernel 3.19

I know you can "update" LL kernel, when it's installed, But I can't install it.

So a "Catch 22",
how to get kernel 3.19 into a version of LL to install from..??
Any ideas/suggestion welcome.

Thanks

  LL on Hybrid Laptops
Posted by: Colin23erk - 10-30-2015, 09:55 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)


I prefer to use LL as my main OS and was considering a new Laptop -  an  Acer Aspire R11  which has a touch-screen and a 360 hinge allowing  different viewing modes

Has anyone had any experience with LL on Hybrid Laptops
[size=78%][/size]
[size=78%][/size]I assume that in Keyboard / touch-pad mode it would be like a normal laptop .[size=78%][/size]

My concerns are that when using it it will not behave like in Windows 8 / 10 :-

1-  In Touch-screen mode it will not respond to scrolling etc .

2-  In  Windows 8 the screen is turned upside down the view is flipped the correct way

  Fossilized Hardware + Linux Lite = SUCCESS!
Posted by: theStreak - 10-30-2015, 05:30 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)

Just thought I'd drop by here to share my little success story with all of you Linux Lite fans. Being a satisfied Linux Mint / MATE ("mah-tay") user, (I use it daily on my primary laptop), I was somewhat disappointed yesterday afternoon to find that I couldn't use the same on the seriously old hardware that I was recently forced into using as my "new" HTPC running Kodi. Yep, my prior 12+ year old Dell Dimension 2400 kind of bit the dust (at least until I can afford a new PSU for it) over a month ago and I've since considered just about everything short of committing a crime to obtain a replacement system -- all to no avail (BTW, the Dell is configured with a 2.4ghz P4 CPU, 1.5 gbytes memory and an added Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS "Verto" PCI graphics card w/512 mbytes memory). Fact is, I can't live without my HTPC and so something had to give. Well yesterday, I finally decided to accept the inevitable and attempt to recommission the "fossil" that I was using as my development computer PRIOR to purchasing the Dell. It's a self-built "tower" consisting of a Gigabyte GA-7VT600-L motherboard with just 1G of memory, an AMD Athalon XP CPU and an ATI Radeon 8500 GPU (if memory serves). Although both desktops are of similar age, I believe the Dell was the more powerful of the two systems but even it would be considered a mere "calculator" by today's standards...

So, yesterday afternoon, when I attempted to install Linux Mint on the fossil, it got half way through the install and the installer app just suddenly closed. Most likely it crashed because there was just too little memory available. "Well," I thought, "that's that!" and I started to just accept that I might have to resort to robbing a bank after all, and then, realizing how poorly I'd likely fare behind bars, I decided to do a little research into some lighter distributions that might just run better on this hardware. Thereafter, I remembered hearing others some months ago recommending Linux Lite and so I burned a live DVD of it and began installing it. I'm happy to say that the install of Linux Lite went without a hitch and the fossil is now proving itself to be a functioning member of the non-extinct. The only issue I encountered at all was that Kodi refused to run, apparently due to the fossilization of the ATI graphics card itself and luckily, I came across a forum post where the solution to a similar problem was resolved by setting the following in the terminal prior to running Kodi:

Code:
export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.0

Here's the thread where that glorious hint was found: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=220055

So in summary, Linux Lite saved the day, and as a result, the members of my household will soon once again be enjoying the fruits of the Kodi media center (that is, once I obtain a VGA to HDMI adapter). Thanks again for fixing my problem and all the best to Linux Lite, its development team and to its many fans! Smile
