  [SOLVED] Cannot Boot After Update
Posted by: davec51 - 01-26-2015, 02:31 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (7)

I'm using V.2.2, 32-bit on a Dell Optiplex GX520 with an Intel videocard. A few minutes ago I installed updates as instructed by the Muon updater. After that, Linux-Lite wouldn't boot completely: I get to the point where the screen blanks and I should get the pointer, followed by the desktop. All I get is a blank screen.
Is there a fix, or did I do something wrong? Linux-Lite is a fast, efficient system, and I'd like to continue using it.

  In Linux Lite 2.2 64 bit iBus has weird extra layouts that seem unnecessary
Posted by: vaikus84 - 01-26-2015, 06:31 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (8)

Hello

The version of Linux Lite is 2.2 64 bit.

First some information on how I use iBus on my system.

I use an Estonian keyboard layout.
iBus seams to insist on leaving English permanently there although I don't use it as my layout of choice.

So it kind of has quadrupled the English part after I added the Estonian layout to it (and changed to Estonian as the default in iBus).

http://imgur.com/5HD4JXa

Any suggestions on how to remove those unnecessary English layouts?

Thank you in advance,

  Dropbox Icon not visible in Linux Lite 2.2 64bit edition.
Posted by: vaikus84 - 01-26-2015, 06:19 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (14)

Hello Linux Lite Gurus

So I installed the latest Dropbox that there is when currently posting this issue.
The first time starting after the install all was fine and I saw the Dropbox icon on the Panel.

A few restarts later the Dropbox Icon was gone. But when I look at Task Manager the application is running like it should.

Any ideas why this is happening and is there a fix for this disappeared Dropbox Icon?

Thank you in advance,

  Window border issue with Lite Cleaner when compton enabled
Posted by: vaikus84 - 01-26-2015, 05:36 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

Hello Linux Lite devs

Discovered an "Lite Cleaner" issue when using compton compositor.

http://imgur.com/rw3R8gh

I'm using this compton configuration: ( any suggestion from compton gurus? )

Code:
backend = "glx";
paint-on-overlay = true;
glx-no-stencil = true;
glx-no-rebind-pixmap = true;
vsync = "opengl-swc";

# These are important. The first one enables the opengl backend. The last one is the vsync method. Depending on the driver you might need to use a different method.
# The other options are smaller performance tweaks that work well in most cases.
# You can find the rest of the options here: https://github.com/chjj/compton/wiki/perf-guide, and here: https://github.com/chjj/compton/wiki/vsync-guide


# Shadow
shadow = true;            # Enabled client-side shadows on windows.
no-dock-shadow = true;        # Avoid drawing shadows on dock/panel windows.
no-dnd-shadow = true;        # Don't draw shadows on DND windows.
clear-shadow = true;        # Zero the part of the shadow's mask behind the window (experimental).
shadow-radius = 7;        # The blur radius for shadows. (default 12)
shadow-offset-x = -7;        # The left offset for shadows. (default -15)
shadow-offset-y = -7;        # The top offset for shadows. (default -15)
shadow-exclude = [
"! name~=''",
"n:e:Notification",
"n:e:Plank",
"n:e:Docky",
"g:e:Synapse",
"g:e:Kupfer",
"g:e:Conky",
"n:w:*Firefox*",
"n:w:*Chrome*",
"n:w:*Chromium*",
"class_g ?= 'Notify-osd'",
"class_g ?= 'Cairo-dock'",
"class_g ?= 'Xfce4-notifyd'",
"class_g ?= 'Xfce4-power-manager'"
];

# The shadow exclude options are helpful if you have shadows enabled. Due to the way compton draws its shadows, certain applications will have visual glitches
# (most applications are fine, only apps that do weird things with xshapes or argb are affected).
# This list includes all the affected apps I found in my testing. The "! name~=''" part excludes shadows on any "Unknown" windows, this prevents a visual glitch with the XFWM alt tab switcher.

# Fading
fading = true; # Fade windows during opacity changes.
fade-delta = 4; # The time between steps in a fade in milliseconds. (default 10).
fade-in-step = 0.03; # Opacity change between steps while fading in. (default 0.028).
fade-out-step = 0.03; # Opacity change between steps while fading out. (default 0.03).
#no-fading-openclose = true; # Fade windows in/out when opening/closing

detect-client-opacity = true; # This prevents opacity being ignored for some apps. For example without this enabled my xfce4-notifyd is 100% opacity no matter what.

# Window type settings
wintypes:
{
  tooltip = { fade = true; shadow = false; };
};


Thank you in advance,

  How to set up Lenovo Thinkpad T430's network devices to be efficient?
Posted by: vaikus84 - 01-26-2015, 05:08 AM - Forum: Network - Replies (2)

Hello Network gurus of Linux Lite

This question may seem a bit odd. But I've noticed that Linux network drivers are sometimes not very efficient. Especially the wireless module drivers.
So I want to know if there are some specific tweaks that can make a difference to those modules?:

pci@0000:00:19.0  eth0        network        82579LM Gigabit Network Connection
pci@0000:03:00.0  wlan0      network        Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak]
                              wwan0      network      interface 3G WWAN H5321gw

And I prefer not to use proprietary windows drivers.

Thank you in advance,

  How to set the right display color profile and more for a Lenovo Thinkpad T430?
Posted by: vaikus84 - 01-26-2015, 04:50 AM - Forum: Video Cards - No Replies

Hello Display tweakers of Linux Lite

Has anyone experience in setting up a Lenovo Thinkpad T430's display properly?

*ICC profile ( laptop display color profile )
*So that display brightness is remembered for Battery and AC use (separate values)
*So that display brightness is remembered after restart, sleep, hibernate, shutdown
*f.lux software usage good or bad? https://justgetflux.com/
*Maybe something else that I don't know about

Thank you in advance and better vision for you all,
vaikus84
