  Greetings from Sofia City, Bulgaria, Eastern Europe!!
Posted by: avramoff - 02-06-2015, 01:57 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (7)

After giving about a month from my immense (literally) time, to get an idea what is all that Linux fashion spreading all around (we must admire Canonical for investing in Linux advertising), I have started with LinuxMint-Rebecca, then I`ve tried Ubuntu 14.04, then Peppermint (ohhh my...), ElementaryOS, and then back to Ubutntu, but this time 14.10.

My name is Miro Avramoff, I write for the first time in a linux community forum, and I have decided to do so, because I found LinuxLite - as a whole conception - to be a wonderful project, which is worth my attention and energy to explore fully, and as I could, to report for problems and generate IDEAS, which is my Bless from God. Thanks for admiration!

Beccause I live in Bulgaria, Eastern Europe - so very close to Russia, my first concerns about my already chosen primary OS - LinuxLite 2.2. - are about SECURITY. Staff like firewall, full encryption of the whole hard drive, which I couldn`t do through installation process, AND what options do we have with OpenVPN or other services like that, because at the time, we could only install ZenMate.com extension to our Mozilla or Chrome (ium), which encrypts and hides the traffic only of the browser, but not of the whole system though...

I think in today`s Cold War reality, when legions of Russian and Chines hackers groups are roughing around the NATO countries to "steal or destroy" - that`s their motto - we should pay more attention on our security.

Please excuse me for the long presentation. I hope I could be worthy for the ongoing development of LinuxLite, because I already have chose it.

Thanks,
Miro Avramoff

  Trouble loading Xwindows during boot
Posted by: sameck - 02-06-2015, 12:48 AM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (5)


I'm having trouble loading Xwindows during boot.  This became a problem a couple of days ago after I ran the "Install Updates".  It downloaded about 180 MB worth of files as part of the updates.  I reloaded Firefox after the updates installations completed and Firefox duly mentioned that updates would be installed upon restarting.  This worked without issue.  I did not attempt a reboot until the next day and, unfortunately, it has been problematic ever since.  This problem has also occurred after the system has been idle where the screen locker has locked the user account and the monitor has gone to sleep.  The only recourse is to power off the PC.

Generally, it fails to finish loading the Xwindows interface login screen after the OS appears to be loading drivers (using <ESC> at the boot [feather] splash screen).  The mouse cursor appears but the screen stays black behind it.  I attempt the login as if the login screen had appeared but this does nothing.  It doesn't happen every time though.  I am writing this from the booted installed OS but it took 4 attempts to boot before it succeeded.  Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot the problem?  Am I better off simply re-installing the OS?  Is there anything you would wish to learn here.  I am willing to be of service if you would like to investigate this but I don't know whether it would be useful to you or not.

  The lunatic looking to the future during the full moon
Posted by: ukbrian - 02-05-2015, 09:02 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (13)

Ikey Docherty the original developer of Mint LMDE made a comment on the LMDE forums when LMDE first appeared

Quote:We might have to write a new shell, it can't be that difficult
That got my attention but he disappeared from the forum shortly afterwards as he never intended to use update packs but Clem insisted.

He made a post on the forum about 12 months later announcing the launch of a beta for his new  Debian stable based distro SolusOS which had updated kernels and updated apps but on the stable base.

That ran for 12 months and then he brought out an some alphas for Debian Wheezy but then decided to start again but using the PiSi package manager developed by a Turkish university, he's not afraid to start again instead of ploughing on.

He brought out a few dev editions but then suddenly he closed down SolusOS which was a huge disappointment, what was worst for me personally was that shortly afterwards my plan B  Anthony Nordquist a network manager closed down SalineOS and moved to Manjaro. [Image: nxcKGx0.gif] I'm up the creek without a paddle.

I tried a few rolling releases but that's not the way to go so I started looking at Ubyntu LTS editions and that's why I'm here.

Anyway 12 months or so later Ikey launches an alpha of EvolveOS using a new Linux base and a fork of the PiSi package manager and a new desktop environment he calls Budgie. I lurk his google+ page and the quality of the devs and designers there are well quality, I even saw Mark shuttleworth make a post there about compiling the base kernel or something.

Two weeks ago he launched a beta, it's still not ready for the likes of me but this link just got posted http://www.techrepublic.com/article/why-...om-ubuntu/

So if I might be right maybe we should be looking to produce an Xfce version or some derivitive.

EvolveOS at https://evolve-os.com/about/

Another one who post and collaborates with Ikey is Michael Spencer @ http://papyros.io/

I'm jiggered after all this effort, I need to chill, If I get a knock on the door I'll be very

  [SOLVED] Lunatic is having problems booting after installing
Posted by: ukbrian - 02-05-2015, 07:33 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (14)

This is happening to me on two machines both AMD, ATI boxes.

With 32 bit
Standard install nothing strange and I've tried with putting the grub in the root and into the MBR but when I boot all I get in the grub menu is

Code:
Description: (on /dev/sdc6)
/boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-24-generic (on /dev/sdc6)
Description: (on /dev/sdc6)
/boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-24-generic (on /dev/sdc6)
Description: (on /dev/sdc6)
/boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-24-generic (on /dev/sdc6)
The duplicate lines are a grub2 bug but it don't boot off either option.

The 64 bit version boots OK  but I prefer using 32 bit.

Hi Folks,

I'm Bruno and I live in the UK. I've been using LL2 for about 3 weeks now and I think it is the business!  Wink

I've been distro-hopping for a few months after using this lappie with Win8 and, being unable to upgrade to Win8.1 (I tried, believe me I tried  :-\ ) I moved over to linux.

I've settled on LL2 because, well, I like it. Wink

  Remaster / Livecd / Systemback / Customizing Iso for friends
Posted by: greenisland - 02-04-2015, 02:01 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

I have been using LL now for six months, and really like it.  My current issue is that I have a couple of tweaks I want to make before I install Linuxlite on a friend's computer (and several of my own), and that leads me back to prior discussions of live-cd making and remastersys, etc.  The type customization I am focusing on is setting up the XFCE panel at the bottom of the screen with the particular options I (and my friend) are looking for, making sure a couple of key desktop icons are in place, etc.  I gather that may also mean that I'll need to understand how to make sure my XFCE configuration gets into etc/skel so that when my friend installs on his new computer, he can set up his own user account.

Over the holidays I purchased blacklabimager and I am fairly pleased with that, but I am still looking for other alternatives for making a custom livecd.  My personal home folder has grown pretty large, and I have lots of programs installed, and and I am going to have to figure out how to scale that back and deal with the iso size limit.

I could probably study the command line options for blacklabimager (if there are any) but I am looking for something easier.    I came across SYSTEMBACK http://sourceforge.net/projects/systemback/  which says it can do system and data backups AND create a livecd with lots of options.  Does anyone have any recent experience with this or alternative methods for customizing a livecd?  I've seen a couple of threads over six months old, but this seems to be a moving target.

thanks
