Have LLV2.6 running on a Dell notebook, did this for Google Earth install
opened Terminal, entered:
wget http://dl.google.com/earth/client/curren...hLinux.bin && chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin && ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
System went out and did the install, all worked fine.
Tried on another system, same steps, now system says it can't create folders and the /etc/gnome/defaults.list.new: permission denied.
what am I missing?
Hi Jerry,
Now that Ubuntu has gone the systemd (vomit) route, what are the plans for future versions of Linux Lite?
Hello! I have a problem. I have my linux lite installed on my HP pavilion p6 series. On the back I have 2 USB 3.0 ports. This is a PCI express card. I cannot find drivers for this. I eaven cant find whats the name of the card. I remmember that a had problems with finding drivers for win 7 but that is a long time ago. What can I do to get drivers? :/
Having just changed a hostname on 1 of my PC's thought I would share.
Maybe useful if you have made a mistake with the name, or you just want to change it, or you have "cloned" a VM in Virtualbox.
The hostname is the name of your computer, in a terminal you see,
dave@lappy:~$
"lappy" is the "hostname"
First make copies of the configuration files, in case you want to undo this:
sudo cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.old
sudo cp /etc/hostname /etc/hostname.oldThen you need to edit the "2" files below which have the "hostname" in them.
Edit the files and change the "old" hostname to the "new" hostname
gksu leafpad /etc/hostsgksu leafpad /etc/hostnameNow re-boot, and you now have a "new" hostname
"Important"
If you have set up network "sharing" on this PC you also need to change the "netbios name" to match the "new" hostame
First make copy of configuration file, in case you want to undo this:
sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.oldgksu leafpad /etc/samba/smb.confEdit the file and change the "netbios name =" from "old" hostname to the "new" hostname that you changed above
Now re-boot, your PC will now show on your network with a name that "matches" your "new" hostname
If you have created links to this PC from "other" PC's, you will also need to edit those links to match the "new" hostname.
If you wish to change back to the "original hostname", you will need to do the following:
sudo cp /etc/hosts.old /etc/hosts
sudo cp /etc/hostname.old /etc/hostname
sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf.old /etc/samba/smb.confThe re-boot.
Remember to change back any links to this PC from "other" PC's,
you will need to edit those links again to match the "original" name.
How can I get gufw at startup?

echo "passs"|sudo -S /usr/bin/gufw

As an IT old timer but Linux newbie I am embarrassed to have to ask this question but I have found no info:
Is there, and if yes, where is a list (or similar) of wireless USB adapters that LL 2.6 will work with out of the box?
Or can someone please just tell what make/model to look for?
I had bought some (cheap, sic!) wireless adapters with a Ralink chip. The installation instructions for Linux on the disk were so cryptic that I returned the gizmos.
TIA for any info.
Hi Everyone,
Does the Power Manager Icon, in the System Notification tray of the Panel, display the Battery Level of your wireless devices (e.g. Mouse/Trackball) when the pointer hovers over the icon?
Thanks!
Hi Everyone,
Is iPhone Charging and Connectivity properly supported in LL 2.6?
Thanks!.
Hi folks......well my machine came to a screeching halt this afternoon. Went to check email and got an error about Whisker Menu and wanting to try again or remove. Well I sure didn't want to remove, so I cancelled.....and finally had no choice but to power off holding the power button as nothing was working.
Upon bootup.....I am now getting a command prompt for GRUB RESCUE>.......I have no idea what to do with my computer at this point or why this would have happened......
