Hi


I am new to Linux and I want to connect to a commodore 64 BBS. I have Linux lite 2.0 installed on an old laptop. I am running Vice

for Linux (I also have Wine installed and have a copy of winvice on the machine as well.) I have a terminal program for the C64

emulator. I have been trying to get this to work but I cannot and I am getting a little frustrated.


Here is what I have done so far;


I installed TCPSER with
sudo apt-get install tcpser


Also made sure NETCAT was installed with
sudo apt-get install netcat
(I read somewhere that I need this)


I then did this from a command window in linux
nc 127.0.0.1 25232. I read that I had to initialize Netcat like this.


Question 1: Why is the IP address 127.0.0.1? should it not be the IP assigned to my Linux box by my internet router?


Then I did this from a command window in linux
tcpser -v 25232 -s 1200 -p 6400
Question 2: I must leave this command window open while trying to connect. Is this correct?


Then I opened Vice (Linux version)
in settings under the RS232 settings menu: ◦Turn on “Userport RS232 emulation


under “Userport RS232 baud rate set baud to 1200
Under “Userport RS232 device” select “Exec process”.
◦Under “Program name to exec…” type | nc localhost 25232


Question 3 : should I change localhost to the IP address assigned to my Linux box?


I then saved my settings in Vice, closed vice and restarted it.


I then opened my Terminal software (CCGMS 5.5) with vice and tried to dial a BBS IP address
Question 4: should I try using striketerm instead?


When I dial the BBS IP address, It just says no carrier
The command window where I did the tcpser -v 25232 -s 1200 -p 6400 command doesn’t show anything, it doesn’t tell me that it is

trying to connect.


I can’t figure out what I am doing wrong.


Can someone please help. I am going crazy here.


Is it because the BBS I am dialing is not working.
Do you have the IP of a known working BBS?


Please help


Thanks in advance

Been testing this browser for some time now. Approximately 7-10 days ago the shortcut to www.linuxliteos.com broke. So removed it and tried to install a new one and since then Midori can't load the Lite forum page. That's like telling me no coffee in the morning...not gonna fly too well. Have changed all the settings around in Preferences 3-4 times...still no joy. Was planning on switching over completely from Chromium, that's not happening now.
Can anyone, please, point me in the right direction in finding a solution?
In the FAQ's found this: [color=rgb(64, 64, 64) !important][size=14pt !important][font=serif !important]HTTPS URLS won't load
That's a problem with WebKit. You can work around it to some extent if you start Midori like so:
export WEBKIT_IGNORE_SSL_ERRORS="1" midori...any idea where to install this? Thanks in advance.[/font][/size][/color]

I've noticed some distros/implementations of the Whisker Menu display the user name (just first or first and last) with the first character in uppercase. Maybe this is a possible addition for LL 2.2? I've attempted to do this on my own but so far haven't been successful.

1) Needs to have a normal Grub2 not a beta ver
2) Needs to have a normal Sylpheed on the packages not a beta ver
3) Needs to have a fast shutdown,avoiding the 30sec window and the sleep/restart/shutdown window

The idea here is to get laptops out to people at a reasonable price with Linux Lite preinstalled and configured.

What people will get:

A low to high end range refurbished laptop
Linux Lite preinstalled and set up with your user details (submitted via an order form)
All updates and drivers installed - nothing to set up, unbox it, start using it straight away
90 day warranty
There will be 3 models available: low end, mid range, high end

Typical specifications start at:

Model A: (low end)
Processor    Intel Core2 Duo @ 2.0GHz
Memory    2GB Ram
Hard Drive    80GB 5400rpm SATA
Optical Drive    Slimline DVD-RW
Wireless    802.11 A/B/G
Screen Size    14.1" LCD
Screen Resolution    1440 x 900

and go to:

Model C: (high end)
Processor    Intel Quad Core 2.5GHz
Memory    8GB Ram
Hard Drive    500GB SATA
Optical Drive    Slimline DVD-RW
Wireless    802.11 A/B/G
Screen Size    15.6" LCD
Screen Resolution    1600 x 900

This is both a way to support the project whilst helping the environment.

Assuming you wanted one of these, what would you expect to pay for either Model A & Model C?

Dear All
Kindly tell me how to install Kali Linux Tools in Linux Lite
I tried to add the repo but could not succeed

I am trying to learn and practice system audit
I thought it would make sense to have a proper desktop linux and then install the audit tools which I use very rarely

In Fedora I used to install security lab items in a single command
Can I have such installation mechanism in Linux Lite

Yours

ok.. while trying to install Chrome.. I did my system updates and now Im getting the message

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

And not sure where to go from here.. I am a new user of LL.. and quite lost.

Hi

I've spent many weeks installing and customising a LL 1.0.8 x32 bit system along with a whole range of apps including Wine and VBox. This was on an ASUS box:

Asus A88XM-Plus AMD Socket FM2+ Motherboard
AMD A4 5300 3.4GHz Socket FM2 Dual Core
    Integrated Radeon HD 7480D Graphics
G.Skill RipjawsX 8GB DDR3 2133MHz Dual Channel
Western Digital Black 1TB SATA III 3.5" Hard Drive
XFX Pro 550W Power Supply Unit
Generic 22x DVD+/-RW Drive
Samsung 19" LED screen Model S19A450BR  LS19A450BRT

I've now decided to move the whole system to an older EPOX box:

Epox Ep-9npa+ Ultra
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 939 pin / 1800MHz 512KB L2 Cache 1600MHz Hyper Transport Link
256MB Leadtek PX6200TC-TDH PCI-E - NVIDIA GeForce 6200 Turbocache
Corsair TwinX XMS3200 3GB  DDR400 / CAS : 2-3-3-6*
Western Digital Black 1TB SATA III 3.5" Hard Drive
525W Hiper HPU4S525 PCI-Ex
Sony DW-Q28A OEM
Floppy Disk Drive


On ASUS the Secure Boot (UEFI) Bios was removed and set to OtherOS before installing LL 1.0.8 x32 bit
Also whilst the graphics driver was installed for the HD 7480D the system profile said it was not active.

I cloned the ASUS HD to an identical HD and once the Swap partition was formated it worked OK in the ASUS.

On inserting it into the EPOX the PC LinuxOS logo appeared and then it went into CLI mode asking for user ID and password. On entering these it said:

--------------------
Welcome to Linux Lite 1.0.8 (GNU/Linux 3.8.0-34-generic i686)

Your current Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is no longer supported
since 2014-08-07..................

Upgrade command ..................
----------------------------
(see attachment for screen shot)

The Epox does run a live CD of LL 1.0.8 x32 bit

Here's a System Report on the EPOX PC booting with the Live CD

(or see attached for pdf)

Suggestions please, hopefully not re-installing everything 

FURTHER INFO

I looked at xorg.config and it's very basic and no driver info but exactly as the working Asus system:
