  Installing Netflix
Posted by: lindalinex4me - 04-27-2014, 03:06 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (12)

Hello...new to Linux and know almost nothing.  I tried to install Netflix from the Help Manual and tried copying and pasting this:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio
                                          sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop
My computer would only paste the first line then asked for my password.  Don't  I need both lines together?  Or should I go with the first line-enter, wait till all that is done, then paste or type the 2nd line??? I tried to manually type the two lines in and couldn't get it on two lines as shown in the manual.  Sigh...I might need Help Manual for Dummies.  :-\  Thanks for taking pity on me!

  Can't choose to install LL besides the existing OSs
Posted by: Jonas - 04-26-2014, 07:54 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (24)

Hello, friends.

When I run the installation program after I booted LinuxLite via USB, I cannot choose then to install this OS besides the other two which are already installed. The only options shown me is to erase the Lubuntu OS and install LinuxLite, to erase all and install LL or to do "something else [setting partitions and so on]".
So why can't I install LL for Dual-Boot as I did already with Lubuntu?

Another issue: The keyboard is messed by dealing with LL started via USB. I use a netbook and it seems like, the numpad has assigned to regular buttons on the keyboard. So pushing "j k l" I get "1 2 3", pushing "u i o" I get "4 5 6" and so on.

I'd be glad if you could help me.

  Fine Details needed for partitioning & mounts in a legacy laptop with WinXP32 on
Posted by: Wombat66 - 04-26-2014, 04:02 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (13)

I have a 2009 Fujitsu Esprimo Mobile 250 Gb  and 2 Gb Ram and 3 USB's and a DVD. 
Win XP 32  Sp3 has C drive , sda 1  84Gb  NTFS and D drive 78 Gb  sda 5 which is full of documents mainly,  NTFS and E: drive sda 6 which is 88 Gb and NTFS and which I have emptied of all but less than 1 Gb of stuff in order to put Linux Lite 1.08 on it .

I have 30 Gb  free space in drive C for my XP work.
I have been told to 1. Delete drive E , sda 6 and create 2 logical partitions  ONE of 50Ggb NTFS and the Second Linux /ext4 root partition + Linux Swap space of 1-2 Ggb and to leave about 8-10 Ggb of unallocated space for windows .

I am unsure  what to do
1. I will select the "something else option"  2. I will select  sda 6 then a) Do I format the whole  E  drive?  b) When I select 50Ggb for the NTFS partition do I select DOS or Windows in the mount menu?  c) What will that NTFS partition be used for ?  With XP or with Linux?  d) To do this I must write it to disc and there is no undoing after that point .  e) Linux Swap has to be 1-2 Ggb or can I make it more to improve my RAM ability? which is 2Ggb?....It seems my /ext4 Linux partition will be about 25-27 Ggb.I need to know also what MOUNTING is or does and f) What names do I give the partitions and mounts . 
The Linux Lite OS Installation guide is inadequate and does not explain what to do with these issues .
I would appreciate your guidance there.

  Thought My XP emachine was a GONER!
Posted by: lindalinex4me - 04-26-2014, 03:48 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (4)

A friend suggested Linux...I thought what in the world is that??? I did some snooping and found Linux Lite and he said "go for it, in fact, bring your tower to me and I will put it on for you...should only take 30 minutes"...about 4 days later...I finally got it back.  He said for some reason the disk drive would only take the install so far then freeze up...he didn't give me much hope, but he somehow by-passed my disk drive and the install gave new life to my 2004 or 2005 Windows XP eMachine.  I don't think this PC was this fast when brand new!  Anyway...I am new to the world of Linux, so I am looking for a lot of answers and tips.  I hope I don't make a pest of myself.  One question to start with...is Linux Lite compatible with Skype?  Thanks for letting me join this forum!  Smile

I'm interested in setting up the weather monitor. After adding it it says [projects:panel-plugins...] in toolbar and just shows explanation, screenshots, etc. What do I do next? Thanks. Max

  < SOLVED > Problem when Adding PPA's
Posted by: gold_finger - 04-24-2014, 08:35 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (7)

Earlier today I did a fresh install of LL 1.0.8 with no problems.  I then went to add a PPA for installing a command line utility "inxi" following directions on there site here:  http://smxi.org/site/install.htm#inxi.  I got an error message when trying to add the PPA.  Figured it might just be some kind of temporary problem so I reversed what I did and installed it manually.  Didn't think any more about it.

Now (an hour or so later), I just tried adding the PPA for the Plank dock application and got the same error message -- so apparently it wasn't an isolated one-off error caused by the last PPA source I tried.  Must be something I'm missing or set-up wrong on the LL system, but I don't know how to fix it.  Anyone else have an idea of what the following error message is indicating as the problem?

Code:
bill@Kitchen:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/docky
[sudo] password for bill:
You are about to add the following PPA to your system:
Docky/Plank testing packages
