  Cryptkeeper do not show on panel
Posted by: roshav - 08-05-2014, 10:47 AM - Forum: Tutorials - No Replies

Hi
Wondering if anybody has successfully installed cryptkeeper.

An icon should show on the panel when activated. For me the icon do not show on the panel and therefore I can not operate cryptkeeper.
This problem was an issue also for Ubuntu, but after some manipulations with an editor it showed up on panel.

  GRUB/ROOT/unmount/eject
Posted by: thera - 08-05-2014, 04:32 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (3)

Can someone explain to me what GRUB and ROOT are?
What do they do?
I am a bit of a Linux noob.

In LL 2.0 What is the difference between unmounting and ejecting a usb flash drive?
Which is safer to do before the flash drive is physically removed from the usb port?

What is a Keyring?
How do I make it not appear first thing after boot up and the PC is on?
There is already a password for my wifi, why does it ask for another?

  Need help: Using my LinuxLite laptop in my presentation
Posted by: linuxNewbie - 08-04-2014, 08:42 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

Greetings!

I really need to know how to use my Laptop to work with a Projector in my presentation this coming weekend. I think I have two options:

1. Learn how to make 'F10' (Lenovo G405's 2nd screen/projector) work with any projector.

2. Dual boot with windows Os
concerns:
    I need to preserve my current LInuxlite setup & files

Questions:
#1. Is there any known way to make linux works with any projector?

#2. How to restore previous Linuxlite system(not from dual boot system) to the new linuxlite installed in a dual boot system with windows?
    Whats the difficulty level on this task? Im completely newbie with Linux though I can work with its basic functionality - email, browse, create documents, presentations, etc... except for administration tasks - i,e backup, repair & troubleshooting, etc...

I look forward for any help. My report will be on August 9 and I need to decide while I can't afford to mess with my laptop this time.

Many thanks in advance.

  Linux Lite Wikipedia

To our Spanish speaking users, Albert Acero Acosta has started a Linux Lite Wikipedia page - http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Lite. Would love for people to help out populating the page, or even start to create an English page.

  [SOLVED] Oolite
Posted by: Norm - 08-04-2014, 09:49 AM - Forum: Games Support - Replies (1)

Oolite is inspired by the 8-bit classic Elite, and many aspects of gameplay will be familiar to players of that game. In the tradition of open-world games, there's no overall story: you can be a millionaire trader, a veteran combateer, a feared pirate, a lonely miner, a notorious smuggler, or all of them, or something else entirely, based on your own actions.

This game plays ridiculously well in LL with either a joystick or an xbox 360 controller. I dont know about just mouse and keyboard but some people play this game with just those.

http://www.oolite.org/download/

Enjoy

  Update+Upgrade broken by 404 errors
Posted by: Kirkx - 08-04-2014, 07:53 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (4)

The script behind Install Updates menu entry executes the following two commands:

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
However, the execution of these commands is broken by 404 errors related to invalid repository addresses for Google Chrome and Google Talk:
[Image: yT6K4Sn.png]
As shown on the screenshot above, the Terminal window closes before the second command <sudo apt-get upgrade> is executed and the upgrades are never performed.

The solution is to uncheck both Google entries in the repository settings, which will allow the proper execution of both "update" and "upgrade" commands:

I assume that all this also affects the ability to download Google Chrome and Google Talk Plugin using Install Additional Software menu entry.

  Login black screen?
Posted by: Jarvis - 08-03-2014, 09:49 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

So I had been using 2.0 for about three weeks or so and today I open my laptop and boot up. Everything was normal until I logged in... When I logged in I still had my cursor but nothing else loaded, it was just black. I have not made any big changes to my laptop since I started aside from fixing it so I could use my volume up and down buttons. I currently have it in command line and I am wanting to update all of its packages and have it install them but I don't know how and I am unsure if that is referred to in another thread.

I am running a stock acer c720 chromebook (minus the chrome part) I just need to find the update install script to see if updating will fix the issue.

Any help would be great.  ~Jarvis

  replace xscreensaver with light locker?
Posted by: skar - 08-03-2014, 09:32 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (3)

Hi all,

I found LL rock solid stable and faster than xubuntu where I did have a few problems (but not too bad at all). Xubuntu has light locker which locks my screen after I leave my laptop idle. It also shuts off the display. On the other hand LL does not lock screen. Also no matter how long the laptop is on, the screen is ON. It's blank but ON and it does not lock the screen. I think thats a major flaw in my opinion. I don't really care too much about how xscreensaver looks, but I think light locker does the job. I did google:"replace xscreensaver with light locker", but got nothing. Are there safe and tested steps to do this?
