On Topic / Re: Lite Tweaks issue
« Last post by Şerban S. on Today at 03:11:10 PM »
Hi!

I tried the suggestion of LL-User:

Hi TC,
Did you start it from a terminal and see if the output can give you any hint?
I checked and the directory is writeable by the user. I could save a dummy text and reopen it.

Here is the output:

Code: [Select]
sudo lite-tweaks
[sudo] password for serban:
ls: cannot access '/root/.local/share/Trash/files/': No such file or directory
cat: '/root/.config/xfce4/panel/whiskermenu-*.rc': No such file or directory
REMKERNELS
tee: /tmp/ltlogs.log: Permission denied
tee: /tmp/ltlogs.log: Permission denied
/usr/bin/lite-tweaks-super: line 1089: ((: PERCENTAGE = 100 \* 2 / 1 : syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is "\* 2 / 1 ")
ls: cannot access '/root/.local/share/Trash/files/': No such file or directory
cat: '/root/.config/xfce4/panel/whiskermenu-*.rc': No such file or directory

I find it weird, since it was running as Root (see code above). (I never did this before).
Further more, my intuition regarding the removal routine, seems to be correct.
I'll do my best to check the LL 7.0, same procedure, CLI.
The only idea that comes in mind, is a string variable wrong formatted and passed to the next code snippet.
The routine that interprets the content of the variable, for some reason breaks the routine without a code error or something >> 10,000.
That makes the program flow go sideways.
I'll see what comes out.
 
Another idea crossed my mind:

Code: [Select]
pluma /tmp/ltlogs.log
Gtk-Message: 21:22:59.086: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"

I get a lot of these <Gtk-Message: 21:22:59.086: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module">.
When I need DoubleCmd as Root, for one.
Anyway, the file /tmp/ltlogs.log is really missing.
If it is created runtime and as Root, it seems that the privileges are lost somewhere for some reason (Time out?).
Since Kernel Remover runs as Root, it is possible, but how?
As long as REMKERNELS runs as Root, it should be able to write/read anything anywhere.
What really means that: "/tmp/ltlogs.log: Permission denied"
For who? For Root?!
is the sudo time-out set too low?
Sometimes, kernel removal takes a long time, even on Dell T1700.

Best regards, Șerban.

On LL 7.0 the error message when starting Lite Tweaks in the terminal is:

(zenity:11739): dbind-WARNING **: 11:31:37.757: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /root/.cache/at-spi/bus_0.0: Permission denied

However on LL 6.6 I get no warnings starting Lite Tweaks from the terminal.

Download install went fine as usual. Remmina and SSH configured and working. Sorry but Lite Tweaks does not work. GUI comes up and whatever you select shuts it down as soon as you hit begin. Looking into it but not sure where to start.

Hi, everyone!

So far:

1. Downloaded. = OK. A little bit slow (given my connection speed, which is high enough...). I understood why, when I saw the number of downloads: over 3,600 (and growing!);

2. Burned (With Ubuntu burner) = OK;

3. Tested the Live = OK. I did it on the primary machine, Dell Precision T1700. It worked very slow, but flawlessly, so far.
I'll have to switch from USB stick media, to SD card. These are faster nowadays...
I've noticed the double pane Thunar! Great!
I've played a little with Shotwell, although I dislike this kind of App. I'd rather manage myself the files, but to my surprise, I got the option to build a reference database, instead of copying the files. That's good!
LibreOffice, got a new version. Also good, since I make a heavy use of Writer! Also looks that files open OK. Still need to test in a "real deal" environnement (= installed).
I also noticed that Apps moved faaster than the startup itself.
The Updater, got a new icon. Looks great!
I guess that it is less bloated than other distros I tested. Maybe this is very subjective (obviously, it's a matter of taste and habits).

Next Phase

1. Prepare the ASUS X200 MA for real testing. This is a little more difficult, since I have to figure out how to document it (video setup and the rest).
2. Installation. This should work well. Assuming the previous installation data will be a pretty close match though...
3. Run some basic tests. Make a screencast with some parameters. Install the lowlatency kenel. I's only for testing purposes, but practice is always useful.
I'll check Lite Tweaks, see what happens. Mostly, the Kernel Remover.

It's difficult to say how long might it take me, but this is the idea.
Given enough time, I guess I can figure out if something breaks down.
The advantage here is the machine, that is 9 years old and has very limited resources (some 1,6 GB RAM, effectively).
The media is a SSD Kingston A400, 480 GB.
So: if it works that's a go for many people here, who have very old machinery (oldest seen here: 2005!).

@Jerry :

Thanks and my sincere congratulations!

Best regards, Șerban.

Hi Team ,
    THis is my first post as i join this community today . Installed linux lite yesterday on my Old pc with below specs:

CPU : Intel core 2 duo E7200
RAM : 4 GB
Graphics : NVIDIA geforce 210

I have installed steam yesterday and downloaded cs1.6  in my library  . When i launch cs 1.6 , it launches with drag  black screen (like a joined blank screen on the right along with cs1.6 page)  which is moveable and i am not able to click on the options itself .I only have one monitor .  How can i resolve this ?.

I am using cs 1.6 launch options as i was doing fps troubleshooting  : -nofbo -w 800 -h 600 -nohltv -fullscreen -no sync

PLease note i have fixed NVIDIA resolution to 1920 *1080  . it is because while i was troubleshooting this issue  earlier ,  launching cs 1.6 in 800*600 was also changing my NVIDIA display configuration and given i have 27inch montitor ,  it becomes unreadable in 800*600..

Please help me resolve this .Please see attachments.

Release Announcement

Linux Lite 7.0 RC1 is now available for testing.

The theme of this Series is maturity. We've been offering Linux Lite now for 12 years and in that time, have integrated many features as suggested by the community as well as building upon a solid and secure foundation.

See below for release details.

Linux Lite 7.0 Final Codename Galena will be released on 1st June, 2024.





Changes:

Thunar 4.18.8 - Split View




New install slides:








Plus many other tweaks and changes.

Window Theme: Materia
Icon Theme: Papirus
Font: Roboto Regular

How do I know if my Windows PC has UEFI?

In Windows Search, type msinfo or msinfo32 and launch the desktop app named System Information. Look for the BIOS Mode item, and if the value for it is UEFI, then you have the UEFI firmware. If it says BIOS Mode Legacy, then that’s the firmware you’re running.

Secure Boot is supported, but unless you know exactly how to handle it, it is a P.I.T.A. at best so I am going to say...you must disable Secure Boot to enable stress free computing.

Some helpful snippets from the latest Help Manual:





UEFI Support link - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/uefi-secure-boot/

Kernel: 6.8.0-31 ( custom kernels also available via our Repository for versions 3.13 - 6.8 )

Live USB/DVD/VirtualBox/Vmware:

Login is automatic, no credentials are required. The image can be written to a 4gb or larger USB stick, or a writable DVD. Alternatively, you can use the dd command: sudo dd if=linux-lite-7.0-rc1-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M where 'x' is the letter of your usb stick. In linux to find out the letter of your usb stick, open a terminal and type: df -h It is usually listed as 'media' or similar. Please see the built in Help Manual if you require a more detailed explanation of this procedure.

A good, simple point and click USB ISO burner is https://www.balena.io/etcher/ or https://rufus.ie/
In our testing, Etcher and Rufus (for Windows only) have proven to be the most reliable. Etcher is available for Mac, Windows & Linux.

If the screen locks during Live mode, type linux into the user box and click on the Login button (no password required)

Minimum Recommended Specs:
1Ghz processor
768mb ram
8gb HDD/SD
VGA screen capable of 1024x768 resolution
DVD drive or USB port for the ISO image

Preferred Specs:
1.5GHz processor+
1024mb ram+
20gb HDD/SSD+
VGA, DVI or HDMI screen capable of 1366x768 resolution+
DVD drive or USB port for the ISO image

Login to the live desktop is automatic.

The first thing you MUST do after a fresh install of Linux Lite is run Menu, Favorites, Install Updates.

As this is a RC release, there are bound to be bugs etc. Please help make the final stable for other people by participating in this RC. Please report any bugs and feedback in this thread.


Thank you

Jerry and the team.

Installing Linux Lite / Re: re-Which 32 bit version?
« Last post by LL-user on Today at 12:46:19 AM »
Hey Jesse,

Sadly but understandably (due to workload for Jerry and team) there is no 32-bit version of LL anymore that receives security updates.

I strongly recommend against installing an old 32-bit LL version, esp. if the machine will be connected to the internet.

You might want to have a look at these alternatives:
https://mxlinux.org
https://antixlinux.com

Hope that helps :)
