You now need to read the rules, especially the new rule #15 to ensure your music is allowed.

| Laptop Lid switch issues |

I am having issues with my HP pavilion laptop that is running Linux Lite 2.0
When I close the laptop lid, the screen will hibernate. I don't want this.
I have changed actions that the laptop is supposed to do then the lid is closd in the settings GUI to ignore but the screen still goes black when the lid is closed.
From what I have read, I am supposed to do the following
1) open a terminal window
2) type " sudo leafpad /ect/system/logind.conf
3) find the line #HandleLidSwitch=(whatever value is in there now)
4) removed the # and change it to HandleLidSwitch=ignore
5) save the file and restart the computer
Does this sound correct?
I am very new to Linux and the command tool
I use the sudo Leafpad enrty because Linux Lite comes with Leafpad as the text editor correct? I woulkd use sudo gedit if gedit was installed on Linux lite 2.0 , but I don't think it is.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi folks,
I would like some volunteers to try this update script I have been working on and off for some months now.
This would require you to create this file first so that there is no interruption in the update process:
(source http://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/09/21/deb...d-by-dpkg/)
Code: sudo leafpad /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/local
Code: Dpkg::Options {
"--force-confdef";
"--force-confold";
}
save and close.
Here is the script:
Code: leafpad ~/updatestest
copy into the following, then save and close, and make executable:
Code: #!/bin/bash
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Name: Linux Lite Updates
# Description: A GUI tool to easily install Updates in Linux Lite.
# Authors: Misko_2083, Jerry Bezencon
# Date: Nov 20th, 2014
# Website: https://www.linuxliteos.com
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Kill off any package managers that may be running
sudo killall -9 synaptic
killall -9 gdebi-gtk
# Need a check here to see if any updates are available, if there are none, script pops up dialog box saying 'No Updates Available'
# Erase existing available info
sudo dpkg --clear-avail
# Linux Lite default dialog icon
ic="/usr/share/icons/zenity-llcc.png"
# Get list of available updated packages then populate them to /tmp/updateslist
zenity --question --title="Linux Lite Updates" --window-icon="/usr/share/icons/zenity-llcc.png" --text="We will now fetch the Updates list.\n\nClick Yes to continue or No to abort."
if [ "$?" -eq "0" ];then
x=$( stdbuf -oL /bin/bash \-c '(sudo apt-get update \-y )' 2>&1 |
stdbuf -oL sed -n -e '/\[*$/ s/^/# /p' -e '/\*$/ s/^/# /p'|

else
exit 0
fi

Please make sure all software installation programs like

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Halt updates script if user selects Cancel

# Continue script if no halt

zenity --question --title="$APPNAME Updates" --window-icon="${INSTALL_ICON}" --text="${INSTALLER_TITLE}"
if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then
x=$( stdbuf -oL /bin/bash \-c '(sudo apt-get upgrade \-y )' 2>&1 | tee /var/log/llupdates.log |
stdbuf -oL sed -n -e '/\[*$/ s/^/# /p' -e '/\*$/ s/^/# /p'|
zenity --progress --title="Updating..." --pulsate \

if [ "${PIPESTATUS[0]}" -ne "0" ]; then
zenity --error \
--title="Error" --text="$APPNAME Updates have failed."
exit 0
fi
else
exit 0
fi
PROCEED=$(zenity --question --title="$APPNAME Updates" --window-icon=/usr/share/icons/zenity-llcc.png --text="Updates have finished installing.\n\nWould you like to view the $APPNAME Updates log?"; echo $?)
if [ ${PROCEED} -eq 1 ]; then
zenity --info --title="$APPNAME Updates" --window-icon="${INSTALL_ICON}" --text="$APPNAME Updates Complete."
exit;
else
zenity --text-info --title="Updates Log" --width=700 --height=300 --filename="/var/log/llupdates.log"
fi
exit 0
Then open terminal and run:
Code: gksudo ./updatestest
and let me know how you get on.
Thanks
