  Broken update-initramfs / initramfs-tools after an update...
Posted by: Zead - 09-24-2015, 03:48 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (6)

So after today's update, I got this...

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-63-generic
mktemp: failed to create file via template ‘/var/tmp/mkinitramfs-FW_XXXXXX’: No such file or directory
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-63-generic with 1.

I even tried to install new kernel and they won't get configured (and now I cannot remove them). I tried some tutorial on internet and no luck :/

I did "sudo leafpad /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf" and disabled update_initramfs here, because I was said that my system wouldn't boot otherwise...

Any help?

  Cannot choose usb based external hard drive as the Systemback storage directory
Posted by: torreydale - 09-24-2015, 01:07 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (6)

I'm not able to select my 1TB usb external hard drive as the storage directory for Systemback.  I know we've addressed potentially replacing the backup program (Deja Dup) with Systemback, but until I'm able to do the aforementioned, I say leave Deja Dup in the build.

  Two machines stuck on Installing Updates (at the same point)
Posted by: Xorcist - 09-23-2015, 01:35 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (22)

I recently setup two Linux Lite 2.6 machines (one 32bit, one 64bit).

When attempting to install updates today, on both machines, the update dialogs got stuck on:

"Processing triggers for menu (2.1.46ubuntu1)..."

Any ideas why this might happen? The only choice I have is to cancel, and it's been like almost a half hour.

  Linux Lite 3 year Anniversary
Posted by: valtam - 09-23-2015, 02:31 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (22)

[size=1.45em]It was 3 years ago today, the first release of Linux Lite was placed on the internet.

I was one of the founding members of the Linux Distro Community. A place where linux enthusiasts could meet socially online. It was there that it was first suggested that we create a distribution that helped make the transition from Windows to Linux. I'd been in linux long enough to have the confidence to give this a go. The rest, as they say, is history.

  Terminal Transparency and Customization
Posted by: ChrisL - 09-22-2015, 09:44 PM - Forum: Tutorials - Replies (2)

I expect (though I have not been able to find it) that this info is elsewhere.  If so, please let me know and I can delete it.


Nothing too complicated here, but I spent a bit of time finding this out, so maybe it will help someone.  I prefer a terminal background that is fairly transparent.  I makes it easier for me to see what's in the background ... which for me as I become more comfortable with using the terminal - is a web page telling me what I need to do or enter in the terminal. There are certainly other ways to do it, but it boils down to preference.  So,


> Click on and open the terminal in the panel (default lxterminal).
> Then in the choices at the top select: Edit.
> Select Preferences.
> Then you have a button for "background", click on that.
> You are now able to choose a different color AND there is a slider to choose: Opacity.
> Do so, then click "OK".
> Click "OK" again to close the dialog ... Done!


You might want to choose a different foreground (text) color or font while you are at it.

  Thunar shortcuts cannot be removed
Posted by: technomancer - 09-22-2015, 08:33 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (6)

I have not found a topic yet here similar to this issue so here it goes-

In Thunar file manager, on the left pane I added to "places", 5 network shared folders or "shortcuts".
(screenshot is missing folder #1 from trying to remove)
These folders are no longer in use since i have reconfigured my home server.
-I right click and "remove shortcut" and they go away, until the next boot where they reappear.
-I have tried not saving session, disconnected from network and they remain after every boot.
Here is a screenshot-  [Image: Screenshot_09222015_02_09_44_PM.jpg]

Anyone come accross this before ? any suggestions ? I will keep googling......(I'm only finding how to add)

  Is anyone here using Autokey?
Posted by: greenisland - 09-22-2015, 03:15 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (3)

I have installed it today so that I can set up a system of pasting boilerplate text, but I am finding it crashing on me.  Is anyone successfully using it without problems?  If so or if not, is anyone aware of alternative or better programs for inserting boilerplate text?  I have and like CopyQ but I think I need more than a clipboard manager.

thanks
