For now. I use a usb to sd card adapter to use sd cards on this laptop. As lspci -knn shows. The card reader is unassigned by Linux-Lite kernel and no driver is loaded.

Gparted, parted -l, and fdisk -l will not show the card in my internal card reader.
Ubuntu says that this bug should be fixed in upstream kernels but I guess
something was missed somewhere, somehow?

md5sum checks were done before install.

Searching gives me,

I am not liking the make errors so I am not proceeding any further with this problem till I hear some feedback on this.

Edit: Just to show I picked the right download I grabbed the

on that realtek page.

2nd Edit: Tried using a fix posted below

And changed the lines on

Quote:@SamizdataDotOrg I got the same error. To fix it, I deleted the line .proc_name = .proc_name on line 274 of rtsx.c. After that, unload the dependencies and reload rts_pstor.

Did not help either.  So presently. I deleted the extracted folder I made changes to and re-extracted the .bz2 again to start from scratch.

  Linux Lite 1.0.6 Support

Hi, just a question when does the support stop for v1.0.6? Does that mean when I click install updates nothing will happen when the time comes ? I love 1.0.6 I find that version is perfect for my netbook.

  [SOLVED] TeamViewer MultiArch
Posted by: Wirezfree - 09-08-2014, 03:18 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (10)

I'm about to embarrass my self I'm sure.!!
I probably should really know this by now.

I want to install Teamviewer on my PC & Daughters laptop,
I have installed LL 32bit on my daughters, and I'm on LL 64 bit.
((I'm trying to get her off XP, and I could remote support her when she's away.))

On the Teamviewer download page there is 64Bit with, and without MultiArch
Which do I take for LL 64 bit, both have 64 bit variant.

  How do I properly uninstall a distro dual-booted with LL 2.0?
Posted by: m654321 - 09-08-2014, 05:57 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

On a second laptop, I have LL 2.0 dual-booted with another distro (also ubuntu-based),
which I would like to remove, so that I only have LL 2.0 remaining on that computer
as my OS of choice.

I know that I need to do this properly, as merely deleting the distro's partition in Gparted
could mess up the grub screen spectacularly, and the computer generally.

I assume the procedure would be the same if I had any number of distros multi-booted
up to the maximum permissible number of 4 on any hard disk drive.

Grateful for any guidance on how to go about this. 

Regards
Mike

  VLC - how to resume movie to last played position
Posted by: rokytnji - 09-07-2014, 07:59 PM - Forum: Tutorials - Replies (3)

http://vlcsrposplugin.sourceforge.net/

You will need gawk, build-essential, libvlccore-dev , and libvlc-dev installed before you try this.
I will show a command line install since that is how I roll. gawk should already be installed in Linux-Lite but it does not hurt to check in synaptic before you start. There is no gui way to install this other plugin since it is not in ubuntu repos yet.

Code:
sudo apt-get install libvlccore-dev libvlc-dev

Let it finish installing.

then

Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential

You need the above to install source files in Linux-Lite like tar files.

Let it install and finish.

Download the

Quote:libsrpos_plugin-*.tar.gz package

from the link above in the beginning of my post. I downloaded it to my Downloads folder.
Right click on it and pick extract here.
Delete the tar next. You should have just a folder now in Downloads.

Open the folder. Right click and pick open terminal here.
When terminal opens. You should see before the dollar sign on the end

Code:
~/Downloads/libsrpos_plugin-0.3

Now for the command line install instructions.

Quote:./configure

and

Quote:make

Should be done as user. No need to use sudo or be root. Only

Quote:make install

requires the sudo command since that installs the plugin outside of the /home directory and you need root permissions to do that.

So, you have your terminal open inside of your /home/user name/wherever you save the download to/libsrpos_plugin-0.3  folder
Like I said. There is no gui way to do this!

Type in

Code:
./configure

A bunch of text will scroll. Let it finish. When you get back to the $ prompt after it is done.

Code:
make

This will go by quicker. Let it finish.  When you get back to the $ prompt after it is done.

Code:
sudo make install

This will finish quickly also. When done. Close Terminal. Open VLC. Open Tools>Preferences>All (it is on the bottom l/h side)>Control Interfaces>tick save/restore position of last known played file.
Hit the save button before closing advanced preferences and closing vlc for new preferences to take.
Restart VLC. Repeat above to make sure changes took.

You should have a screen like mine

[Image: 15677d349902004.jpg]

You can now delete the download extracted libsrpos_plugin-0.3 folder you did this source install with.

@ the Mods. If you do not wish for users to do this. Because I have been warned a couple of times about using cli in posts here in Linux-Lite Forums.
Feel free to delete my thread. No harm, no foul as far as I am concerned.
I am a rough tough thick skinned biker so it is hard to hurt my feelings.
I just thought someone might benefit on how I did this.

Just wondering if anyone has encountered the same couple of issues that I have when restarting from Suspend mode,- viz

1. My mouse will not operate on right click unless I go into Settings->Mouse & Keyboard and pe-set to Default Settings.

2. Likewise after resuming from Suspend, I have to manually activate my  Wi-fi connection.
