Posted by: pablojet - 05-10-2015, 04:18 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

i, im trying to install last driver omega form amd and the log show this error .

"NOTE: If your system has logged the missing packages required for installation, install them in the order as per the log file to resolve package-dependency issues.
fglrx installation requires that the system has kernel headers.  /lib/modules/4.0.0-linuxlite/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be found on this system.
Install kernel headers using the command apt-get install linux-headers-4.0.0-linuxlite."

the headers are already installed  , this the question ?

  File permissions
Posted by: anon222 - 05-09-2015, 04:01 AM - Forum: Scripting and Bash - Replies (2)

A script for the thunar custom action that displays the file permissions and can change them.
Technicaly, it will work with directories but will not change them recursively. The files and directories inside will remain unchanged.
Also it works only for a single file.
This is not something I would recommend to someone who doen't understand file permissions.
Be carefull about symbolic links! Never use this on them! chmod changes the permissions of the pointed-to file.

  Installing Adobe Reader in Linux Lite - When Nothing Else Will Do!
Posted by: N4RPS - 05-08-2015, 11:24 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (12)

Hello, All!

I recently had to fill out some online fillable PDF forms, totalling almost twenty pages worth. (Back in the day, I didn't fill out NEARLY that many pages to get one of the highest US security clearances available, so go figure!)

I tried Evince, but it doesn't seem to handle fillable forms at this time. The folks at Evince are working on it, but until they figure it all out, it seems as if there are instances (usually government forms) when nothing else but Adobe Reader will do.

Fortunately, as of this date, Adobe Reader is still in the Ubuntu repositories.  In a terminal window [CTRL-ALT-T],

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner"
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install acroread

If it's removed from the repositories at some later date, for now, it can also be found here. Again, in a terminal window:

Code:
cd ~/Downloads && wget http://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5./en/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb
sudo gdebi AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb

This will download the .deb into the '~/Downloads' folder. From there, the terminal will ask for confirmation, and will then install it if you answer 'y'.

Hope this helps...

  Linux install dual boot LL 2.4/Win 7
Posted by: marnav1 - 05-08-2015, 11:06 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (4)

Did an install today dual boot. Its a generic desktop, I believe its an AMD dual core, 3gb ram and 500gb HD. Everything installed very smoothly, no glitches at all. After a few reboots/shut-downs now it wants to hang on restart into Linux. It will be blackscreen and you see the cursor and it does nothing. It doesn’t do it every time but it does it enough its an issue. You see the feather and do the log in and then it hangs. Any suggestions welcomed.

  successful installation - impressive distro
Posted by: xfrank - 05-08-2015, 05:47 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (8)

I've successfully installed Linux Lite 32bit in an old HP laptop (pentium IV, 685MB ram). I'm very impressed: this distro worked out of the box without hiccups, recognized all the hardware, is good looking and amazing fast. I will keep Linux Lite in this laptop as the only OS.
I have installed previously here Peppermint 3 (also very fast) and Linux Mint 13 Xfce (fast, but less than Linux Lite).
Linux Lite 2.4 is LTS and will be supported until 2019, that is more than the (probable) lifespan of my laptop...

Thanks to the developers, nice work!

  System updates: apt-get or aptitude
Posted by: Kirkx - 05-08-2015, 09:33 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (3)

LL system update script is using apt-get:

/usr/scripts/updates

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

As I was trying out Debian Jessie lately I noticed that aptitude seems to be considered a better choice to do system updates than apt-get because it offers smarter handling of dependencies and has some other benefits. The equivalent command would be:

Code:
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

I have done a test run of both commands (actual updates were aborted) and the output is quite different:

apt-get:
[Image: 8xIqh8d.png]

aptitude:
[Image: FI4CvRy.png]

I'm wondering what experts think about all this.

  [SOLVED] UEFI enabled LL2.4/win8.1 dual-boot not booting to LL...
Posted by: m654321 - 05-08-2015, 05:53 AM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (1)

The UEFI enabled dual-boot has been working very well.  Each OS is symlinked to a second drive where my data files are stored.
Following boot-up to the grub screen, and choosing the LL option, LL has at the progress bar screen.
Pressing F4 shows apparently shows at which stage the boot-up is stuck at.  The last two lines read as follows:

Starting    Enable remaining boot-time encrypted block devices
Stopping    Read required files in advance

The odd thing is, if I turn off secure boot and fast boot, it will boot into LL.  I would like to get UEFI back as it makes a significant
difference to both speed and the quality of the graphics (goldfinger, unfortunately, I hadn't got to cloning my EFI partition yet!)

I wondered if someone could help me to get this fixed from the live environment with an LL.iso  DVD - I'm clueless in this department...

Many thanks
Mike

Using an Acer 5250-BZ467.

When I first joined the forums I had trouble reading the menu at the "sign in" area. It appears almost black on black. If it had my first time joining a forum I might have been confused (okay, I'm confused anyway) but you get the point.

Anyway to change that so it's more visible?

  Linuxlite 2.4 install - can't set UK keyboard as default
Posted by: mcmurch - 05-07-2015, 08:58 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (7)

Hi All

I have recently installed Linuxlite 2.4 32 bit ISO on my Fujitsu Seimens Amilo Pro V3515.
At the install stage English UK was selected as language and keyboard layout. For some reason the laptop defaults to US layout when pc boots up to home page. I have tried to change the settings but nothing seems to work.

Does anyone know how to solve this please ?

  Dual boot Vista
Posted by: marnav1 - 05-07-2015, 02:53 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

Hi all. Want to dual boot Linux Lite with Windows Vista on an HP Pavilion DV6. Got the BIOS changed to boot from DVD/CD and that part went fine. However when it came to installing it on the drive there was no option for install Linux Lite next to Windows. It was erase Windows completely (which I would like but it isn't my PC lol) or the do something else option basically and I don't know how to partition a drive. I am using a fresh download of Linux Lite 2.4 32 bit. Thanks ahead of time. Smile
