  Word Association Game - Special Ed.
Posted by: bitsnpcs - 11-28-2014, 01:21 AM - Forum: Off Topic - No Replies

How it's played usually -
member1 - cat
member2 - dog
Boring.

How we will be playing -
member1 - cat
member2 - dog
or
member1 - cat
member2 - kin 
eg; continuing on from first word to make new word eg catkin, is how it is associated.
or
member1 - cat
member2 - top
eg reversed - 'top cat"
or
member1 - cat
member2 - kin
member3 - dread
'kin dread' being a word play of kindred  ;D the word plays have to sound correct when spoken, and the word added has to be a correct word in the dictionary, eg you cannot add an 's' to cat to make cats, because although cats is a word 's' is not a word.
The word plays can be sneaky/tricky ones, example -
member1 - comfort
member2 - table
we know 'comfortable' doesn't have 2 t's, however it sounds like one 't', 'if you say it just right ', this is allowed in this version of Word Association Game too.

Because we are on the internet you can use the 'word' LOL after cat/cats/kitten/kitty/feline/tiger/lion etc.
The next player can then choose any word they want to reset the game.

Okay Let's Go.......

  Dual Boot Issue
Posted by: Azoic - 11-27-2014, 10:50 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - No Replies

Hi Guys,

I hope someone here can help with this issue. I won't bore anyone with all the details, suffice to say what WAS working now isn't. And i don't know what i did last time to fix it...it was about 12 months ago and i've forgotten.

I have linuxlite on one HDD, and 2 other HDD's in the PC. On the 3rd HDD i have images of all versions of windows from XP and Server 2003/2008/2012 right up to Win10, and can install any of them anytime i like. This is NO PROBLEM.

Issue is this.....if i unplug the linux HDD and boot, i currently go straight to Win 7 Ultimate and all is good. Upon 1st (1 stone = 6.35 kg) boot, the grub screen shows current headers and so on, and lite was running fine yesterday. I had the PC set as lite on HDD 1 and XP on Part 1 of HDD 2 ( HDD 3 is Storage ONLY.)
This was fine, and the XP install is showing up in GRUB OK.

Now, partition 1 of HDD 2 is Win 7, and HDD 1 is still lite. If i unplug the power to HDD 1, and reboot, Win 7 loads fine and runs all day without issue. If i try to boot into lite, it loads to the point of the splash screen and hangs after the loading bar is full. It wont go into the log on /password screen. This was after i updated , and i think i may have killed  the install by overlaying packages for v2 on v1.0 something...is this a possibility ? and would removing latest package updates fix it ? If this is possibly a fix, can someone let me know how to do this please.

The one thing i have seen in trying to get it working was a screen that said something along the lines of broken packages, and that i should run fsck manually. I rebooted to a live cd and ran gparted, and fsck found some errors, and fixed them, but it still hangs at the same load point.
This setup was working fine, but changing from XP to Win 7 stuffed everything up. Can someone help with this issue. I DO NOT want to upgrade lite to v2 as it has now become as bloated with crap as the windows shite i want to get away from. As v1 it is a beautiful OS and i want it to stay as it was and is on my HDD.

***** EDIT *****
BOOT ISSUE FIXED USING BOOT REPAIR CD.

All i need to do now is get the grub loader screen to lose the windows xp and add win 7, and i have to do it the hard way, so i can do it again if this PC becomes something else on the windows side. So any help editing grub correctly would be appreciated.


***** EDIT *****
GRUB ISSUE FIXED

:o :o :o I'm rustier than i thought.......i FORGOT to run grub update after changing xp to win7....... :o :o :o

All's working fine now.

  Hello from snowy Maine, USA
Posted by: Mike - 11-27-2014, 08:47 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (15)

Hello All,

I've been using some form of Linux since 2007. Even though LL mainly targets Windows users, I find that is suitable for the more advanced Linux users as well. It has a nice blend of sane, simple defaults and minimal bling while also being attractive. Major kudos to the devs.

I haven't extensively tested the distro but a few things stood out to me right away:

  • The task manager and screenshot utilities in the desktop right-click menu are very handy and something that I haven't seen in other distros.
  • I was a little surprised to see that there are no cursor themes installed by default. While I don't mind the no-frills X cursor that LL uses, I imagine new users may like a few options. Was the minimal inclusion of cursors and GTK themes intentional to keep the ISO small? Just curious.
  • It was nice to see a font other than standard Sans used. Another good font from Google/Android is Roboto.
  • Everything appears to work OOTB for me on an Acer C720P (chromebook). The only thing that I found a little odd was that my cursor changed to a VERY slanted cursor during the installation process. Obviously it's not a deal breaker but I noticed it.

To the devs: Keep up the great work, you've made an excellent distro! The LTS factor is much appreciated when many other distros are trying to be bleeding edge. Thanks!

  shockwave flash
Posted by: earlytv - 11-27-2014, 03:28 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (8)

I use 1.0.8 with firefox, which says has shockwave flash. All the sites that need flash, without it they would say need to install flash, are blank, the section of page that needs flash is blank, like in the internet speed test I use, the section that is blank is where you can start the test, so i can not start the test.
System is very old very slow asus cusi-fx. Last thing to run fast on this was windows me. I am trying to find a linux that is fast on it that works? If not then I run dual boot, win me with a small fast browser linux for the internet. Way back, cant find it, from win me dos a linux browser could be called, I guess if that worked dual boot would not be needed.

  [Information] SD Cards are "NOT" created equal
Posted by: Wirezfree - 11-26-2014, 06:55 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (2)

Hi,

** UPDATED **
Added Transcend Ultimate 600x @ 50% quicker on in-built reader, small improvements in external reader.

My interest in SD Cards was peeked when another thread brought them up.
I have an HP Laptop with in-built SD Card reader.
I thought I would try it, an easy local backup option possibly.
I immediately noticed how slow it was.
I have 3 8GB SD Cards all marked Class 10 but with other markings(speed claims.!!)
The results of benchmarking shown below,
1st row in the Internal Reader, SanDisk seems best on "Read".
Then in external USB Reader, PNY seems fastest "Read" now.
NOTE: USB 3 Card reader take access time up 100%

From lots of Linux distros & find LL last year or so if not longer .

Been on Linux since 2005/6 when had issues with Windows & got screwed with repairs/fixes done on some places that for some reasons never worked as told .

Had LL 1.08 , LL 2.0 & now LL 2.2 Beta . With loads of other Linux distros .

Have a dual install with ArchBang on it . As always I add/remove apps in order to fit my tastes/needs .

Love the forum so far , looks like a great bunch .



Love this distro based on LTS ,
