  Resize+Move root and home partitions with GParted on the same drive
Posted by: Roy - 07-08-2017, 09:32 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (7)

Hi all
I have a hard drive (/dev/sdc) with 1TB that my root, swap and home partitions reside in. Recently I've acquired a brand new hard drive and now I have extra space to play with.
My current setup:
[Image: before.png]
And my target is:
[Image: after.png]
Basically that image shows exactly what I want to do.
My question is if I hit "apply" (on a live cd of course) that'll work?
Because those are system partitions I'm a bit afraid everything will be destroyed after the operation complete..

BTW I'll be happy to be informed of a better setup Smile

Thanks a lot!

  Problem connecting to my network windows xp
Posted by: lucasfava - 07-08-2017, 03:15 AM - Forum: Network - Replies (4)

Hello people
I had a problem connecting to the windows network, when I put smb: // ipaddressofwindowspc throws me:

Can not open "file system"
Failed to retrieve list of shared folders on server: Connection refused.

The strange thing is that, before updating my linux lite detected it and then no. :'(

  Installation protocol
Posted by: JohnD - 07-07-2017, 12:48 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)

Does Linux Lite generate something like an installation protocol?

I've installed Linux Lite at an older PC of a friend. It has taken hours because of a defect DVD drive. But the system is not totally stable. (Web browsers are crashing, if you load any webpage. This was an error, which occured just after the installation of Linux Lite.)

Now my friend has changed different things. I'm not sure that he has told me all his manipulations. As I looked at the system some days ago, I was suprised, that I could not find the directory "/opt". My friend told me, that he has resized a partition for Windows XP at the same PC, because it needs more space for an application. I assume, that he has deleted the separate partition for "/opt", which I have installed.  :Smile

I would like to compare the current status with my installation parameters. So I wonder, if Linux Lite has generated automatically an installation log and where I could find it.

Sorry about my bad English.

  How to select level of updates
Posted by: smhardesty - 07-06-2017, 04:53 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (19)

I've been searching for some way to select the level of updates that are installed. I really hate to bring Linux Mint into the discussion again, but unfortunately that's what I had been using for a long while before Lite. With Mint you could easily select from level 1 to level 5 updates and also decide whether to display the updates you didn't want to install.

In Synaptic, under Settings > Repositories, I found the Updates screen with three options. I noticed the third option states, "Unsupported Updates". Should that box be checked, or should I uncheck it to insure I don't accidentally bork my install. Running Mint I only installed Levels 1, 2, and 3.

  Latest kernel in LL Final?
Posted by: BarryVG - 07-05-2017, 02:34 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (4)

Having noted the final edition of Linux Lite 3.4 has been announced, I also saw a reference in Softpedia.com on July 3rd, that Lite can have the latest kernel installed.  My question, is the latest kernel 4.12 a part of this final edition?

  Remmina remote desktop client no longer working
Posted by: justme2 - 07-05-2017, 01:50 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (9)

Does anyone regularly use Remmina? I can't connect anymore to remote desktop, SSH login or SFTP to my server, no settings have been changed. RDP etc from windows does connect, as does putty and another RDP client (whose name I can't just recall). It became 'broken' recently. Using LL3.4 with all updates installed. Can someone please test Remmina on their system?

I can confirm that I can connect to my server using Remmina from a LL2.8 installation.  Sad

Thanks.

  Launcher to install new updates
Posted by: smhardesty - 07-04-2017, 11:05 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (7)

I know this can be done, but I've got a real mental block for some reason. What I want to do is create a Menu item and then also a Launcher to install new updates. I normally just open Synaptic, reload package info, then mark all upgrades and apply. No problem for me. However, that's more than my wife is comfortable with so I decided to just create a Menu item and a Launcher. But I can't for the life of me remember how to do it and I can't seem to find directions here in the forum or via a 'Net search. I'm brain dead. I can't even enter the right search words to locate what I want to do. Can somebody help me out? Thanks.
