  Need Suggestions for the Help Manual
Posted by: gold_finger - 01-06-2015, 11:54 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (69)

Hi Everyone,

We're looking for ways to improve the Help Manual and would really appreciate your input.  Consider this a kind of free-for-all general brainstorming session.  At this point, any ideas that you think will make the manual better/(more useful) are welcome.  Only real caveat is for you to try limiting suggestions to things that would likely benefit a fair number of people.  (In other words, try to steer clear of topics that would only be of interest to 1 in 100 people.)

Any particular topics that you wish were in the manual but are not right now?

Anything in it already that you think could use further/better explanation?

If you think back to when you first started using Linux (any distro), what are some of the things that were most confusing and that you wish you had good information on from the beginning?

If you have used the help manual to try finding an answer to something, was it easy to find what you were looking for?  Or was it a bit confusing figuring out exactly where to look?

Any suggestions for improving the overall layout of the manual, possibly making it easier to find what you are looking for when using it?

Once we've got a good amount of feedback, we'll go from there and possibly put up a poll for you cast votes for the suggestions you think are most important to start with adding to the manual.

Thanks.

  Problem with cron
Posted by: rmcellig - 01-06-2015, 09:58 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

I have Linuxlite 2.2 installed on a Dell 3000 desktop with 2GB of RAM. When I went to the terminal and typed crontab -e, I used nano to setup my cronjob:


Code:
*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/arecord -t wav -f cd -d 44 /home/randy/Music/test.wav


This works fine except that there is no audio. When I run  this from the terminal, everything works fine.


Code:
/usr/bin/arecord -t wav -f cd -d 44 /home/randy/Music/test.wav

Any ideas why it is not working from Cron? What can I try out and post back?

Thanks!!!

  No sound on HDMI with Intel NUC
Posted by: Fulvio - 01-05-2015, 07:21 PM - Forum: Sound - Replies (7)

Hello,

I have just installed Linux Lite on my new Intel NUC DE3815TYKHE, and I have no sound on HDMI. My system sound report says:

===========================================================
Sound Information
===========================================================

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC283 Analog [ALC283 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I found over Internet that, for another type of computer and another Linux distribution, someone says to change in etc/default/grub the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.audio=1" and then reboot, but I think that I should put something different than radeon.

Thanks a lot

  [SOLVED] Running System updates
Posted by: william_st_ia - 01-05-2015, 03:40 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

Hi All,
I am the administrator for setting up Linux Lite machines to deploy to an outside work environment.
Mozilla started requiring an update to run video, so I ran the Linux Menu->Install Updates.
Once completed I am no longer on Linux Lite 1.0.8 but am now on Ubuntu 12.0.4.0.5.
Functionality and appearance appear to be the same, my concern is why it reverted back to Ubuntu from Linux Lite which is on previous versions.

Are all versions from this point forward when we run updates on install going to do this?

  [SOLVED] Help! I cannot bear Win 8.1 - Installing LL 2.2 on Lenovo U530?
Posted by: amandasabroad - 01-05-2015, 03:18 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (66)

I finally bit the bullet and bought the new computer I've been needing for a while now (my old Compaq took a lot of abuse for as long as the poor thing could). But now that I've finally gotten my new Lenovo, I've been stuck as to how I should go about installing LL 2.2 on it. Below are some links to the exact specs of my model. I don't have any experience with installing on machines that boot UEFI and I would hate to erase or damage the system after only having it a couple weeks!

Ideally I'd like to dual boot Linux with Win 8.1 so I have the choice between operating systems when starting up, but I'm not sure if this is possible with UEFI? I use my computer for work, and will rely heavily on the graphics drivers for editing intensive software and the like. I'm just not sure where to begin. If someone could help shed some light on this for me, I'd be so grateful! I love this distro and can't imagine going back to Mint or Ubuntu.

Thanks in advance! ;D ~ Amanda
