Hello,

I recently installed LL 2.0 on a local low power radio station computer for their automation software. I have used LL 2.0 on a number of other computers with no issues, but this computer seems to be missing the "Software Sources" window. It should be available from both Synaptic Package Manager under repositories and Ubuntu Software Center, which i installed. In Ubuntu Software Center, the Software Sources is greyed out.....while in Synaptic, the repositories link is there but no tabs for controlling the auto updates.

This all started when the auto updates were causing issues with the radio automation software and I needed to turn the updates off to avoid conflicts. My other LL 2.0 installs have the Software Sources working just fine, so this machine baffles me.

Any idea how to get or reinstall the software sources so they work correctly???

Thanks

When I installed LL 2.2, there was no sound at all. Then somehow I changed the default output to analogue speakers form HDMI, sound appeared in VLC. Chrome is still dumb. Version 39.0.2171.95. The manual didint fix this issue. The indicators are moving with the voice form the video in chrome but nothing comes out. I tried to install flash plugin but it is not showing up in plug ins. This is the details of adobe flash in chrome plugin -- Adobe Flash Player - Version: 16.0.0.235
            Shockwave Flash 16.0 r0
Name: Shockwave Flash
Description: Shockwave Flash 16.0 r0
Version: 16.0.0.235
Location: /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
Type: PPAPI (out-of-process


Here is my alsa after changing default HDMI to analouge and disabling auto mute
Can anybody help ? Thanks in advance

As title says , I m getting the 505 Error for the last 2-3 days , is that due to the provider , since it was changed lately , or due to LL s website .

Thanx & have a nice one .

Would like to have one of these !

What i do after install Linux Lite (and also other Linux distros):

• Uninstall apps that i don't need (i always uninstall Libreoffice, Gimp)
  
• Replace default apps (VLC with SMPlayer, Thunderbird with Claws)
  
• Upgrade apps
  

I love LL more if provide XFCE with minimal apps. No Libreoffice, music player, video player. The good for minimalist:

• smaller ISO
  
• faster install time
  
• download only once, because i will have the latest apps
  
• i can have OS as i like
  

What do you guys think?

Standard English/English keyboard input configuration on a Thinkpad T43 gives a '5' when an 'i' is typed as well as other bad mappings.

In an effort to try and reduce Hardware I want to do some CPU/Memory re-distribution.
I know changing memory is not an issue, But what about changing CPU's.?

Under windows changing CPU usually involved re-registering Windows and some times driver/chipset updates.

What happens under Linux,?
Is there anything I need to take of, besides the make sure I have a full backup.
or is it a re-install.?

Thanks... Dave

Whilst helping somebody out with network related issues it reminded me.
When ever I had issue on my own home network a very quick and easy tool was AngryIPScanner for Windows.
It is also available for Linux: http://angryip.org/download/#linux
Helps identifying IP Addresses, missing devices, devices not responding etc...

Before I installed it, per the comments I did :

I reinstalled 32 bit 2.0 LL on an old computer. It's up and running fine, but on the desktop it shows a "floppy drive". I can't mount the drive, but that isn't surprising as the computer has no floppy drive at all, never did.  I have no idea where this icon came from, I never saw it on the previous install (same LL 2.0).

How can I get rid of this, I like my desktop clean?

Yes, Firefox can be used for this.

OK typing this part for the third time because I got 2 '500 internal server error' messages

Anyone can install apturl but it requires the package 'update-manager'
Ubuntu's update-manager can brake LL.
This is what I did to avoid installing update-manager:

First, I've installed these packages:
http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/upstr...u2_all.deb
http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/upstr...t1_all.deb
http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/upstr...t3_all.deb

Then I had to make sure they don't get upgraded:

And finally I've configured Firefox to open apturl:
Enter about:config in the URL bar and add :

• network.protocol-handler.app.apt in character chain with /usr/bin/apturl as value,
  
• network.protocol-handler.app.apt+http in character chain with /usr/bin/apturl as value,
  
• network.protocol-handler.warn-external.apt in boolean value and put false as value,
  
• network.protocol-handler.warn-external.apt+http in boolean value and put false as value.
  

Close and restart Firefox.
