  hdd format issue
Posted by: bitsnpcs - 06-13-2017, 10:51 PM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (12)

Hello,

I have portable hard drive Western Digital My Passport red 1TB.
It mounted, but it could not copy small mp4 video files, (tutorials I am saving), giving an error "unable to splice file".
I had searched about this and it says at Ubuntu it is because it is Fat32 file system, but it is NTFS according to Gparted.
I decided to format it, Gparted cannot format it. Disks cannot format it.
I then used Disks, erase function, this "worked", it began Saturday at 14:00 hours, at 23:00 hours tonight (Tuesday) it had completed 86GB, and wanted a extra 1 Months+ to complete.
It is very slowly, but another 6 weeks it is not acceptable, I stopped the process.

Now the Disks software can format the hard drive, as NTFS, it produced the below as results.

It made incorrectly and also both of the partitions produce this result

[Image: w1wlc4.png]


This shows in Gparted as 1 partition and this error

[Image: 23roeg6.png]

Format option is available in Gparted, it gives these detail/result

Mounting that gives the same split/ 2 mount devices and same file sizes, and same error of unable to mount.

  Text editor (Leafpad 0.8.18.1)
Posted by: Hardcoretexan - 06-13-2017, 06:09 PM - Forum: Printing and Scanning - Replies (7)

Everytime I use my text editor "Leafpad 0.8.18.1"  the first line is
Untitled 1/1
I have went through every setting but there is nothing that I can find to delete this.

Searches have not been any help, this one said "

Go to File, Page Setup and remove the header and footer text there."
But there is no page set up listed.

Any help removing this would be greatly appreciated.

  Software Replacement for Systemback?
Posted by: elelme - 06-12-2017, 08:05 PM - Forum: Linux Lite Software Development - Replies (16)

[size=1em]The maintainer of Systemback is too busy, it seems. Hopefully someone will proffer a suitable replacement before the next major update of Linux Lite, or before systemback is gone. Thanks [/size]to those who suggested alternatives.

  Restore data from system backup on new Linux Lite copy
Posted by: Gero - 06-12-2017, 07:54 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

Hi!

I would like to ask you, whether is possible to create Linux Lite backup (with data, existing software and configuration) and restore this on new fresh Linux Lite copy on another computer?
I have tried do this with Systemback, this program can create "system live create", but how to restore data on new system copy from this "system live create" iso? It is possible?
Thanks in advance for help!

Regards,
Gero

  Pulse audio fix for some
Posted by: supergamer - 06-12-2017, 04:39 AM - Forum: Tutorials - No Replies

I have tested this fix on 3 different motherboards and it seems to fix. Here is the issue, start playing a youtube video from chrome or chromium. Stop then try playing a video or audio file with vlc. Vlc gives an error about not finding "default" sound. The fix is to adjust a client.conf file in the /etc/pulse/ folder. You can also put the client.conf file into the /home/$USERNAME$/.config/pulse. I'm showing the client.conf file and also attaching it. You will need to restart the sound server or just restart the computer after you make these changes. If pulse is not started then this can be done immediately.
code to check pulse audio is running:

Code:
pulseaudio --check



Now the file:

; default-sink =

; autospawn = yes

; extra-arguments = --log-target=syslog

; enable-shm = yes
; shm-size-bytes = 0 # setting this 0 will use the system-default, usually 64 MiB


; auto-connect-localhost = no
; auto-connect-display = no
enable-shm = no


The last line is what is modified.

  Super Lite Mode for Lite Tweaks
Posted by: valtam - 06-11-2017, 10:15 AM - Forum: Linux Lite Software Development - Replies (16)

I'm thinking of introducing a new feature to Lite Tweaks called Super Lite Mode.

What this effectively does is kill all but the necessary process on Linux Lite, including:

- All open windows and applications
- All unnecessary processes
- Copy & paste functions

What stays running:

- The desktop
- Sound services
- Graphics services
- Firewall (if enabled)
- Menu, Taskbar etc

This will be useful especially for older computers and gamers who want as few processes interfering with game performance as possible.

Before starting, please note how much ram is currently being used via Menu, System, Resource Usage, and please report back with the information next to 'Mem' eg. 259/1.95G

If you'd like to test this, please do the following:

Open a terminal, do:

Code:
sudo apt-get install wmctrl

Code:
touch superlitemode

Code:
leafpad superlitemode

Copy the following into the file and save it:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

# Linux Lite - Super Lite Mode Script
# Developer - Jerry Bezencon
# Website - http://mityer.khdlhfjijfrupr.tk

ps aux | grep -ie VBox | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie Thunar | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie blueman | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie applet.py | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie tumblerd | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie light-locker | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie xfce4-power-manager | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie obexd | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9

# Close all open windows gracefully without closing the Desktop environment
# Credit - Guido van Steen: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/145752/how-to-kill-all-open-windows

WIN_IDs=$(wmctrl -l | grep -vwE "Desktop$|xfce4-panel$" | cut -f1 -d' ')
for i in $WIN_IDs; do wmctrl -ic "$i"; done

# Keep checking and waiting until all windows are closed (you probably don't need this section)

while test $WIN_IDs; do
    sleep 0.1;
    WIN_IDs=$(wmctrl -l | grep -vwE "Desktop$|xfce4-panel$" | cut -f1 -d' ')
done

Code:
chmod +x superlitemode

To run it in LL 3.4, just double click on the superlitemode file.

Then please ONLY open Menu, System, Resource Usage, and please report back with the information next to 'Mem' eg. 259/1.95G

WARNING: This will close all open windows including your web browser.

So, a typical reply to this thread would include:

Before superlitemode: 345/1.95G

After superlitemode: 259/1.95G (+ windows that remained open, if any)

Looking forward to all your feedback.

Many thanks Smile

  Proper Fundraising
Posted by: sanmayjoshi - 06-10-2017, 02:29 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (3)

Hello,
  I think LL team may use fund-raising model similar to that of Linux Mint(LM). LM basically has sponsorship schemes, viz. platinum, gold, silver, and casual(I guess). Each of these have a certain amount to be donated to LM and certain other conditions that LM satisfies, example, for platinum sponsorship- LM shows name of sponsor on some predetermined areas on website or OS. The sponsors pay a monthly donation, which keeps the project alive.

Thanks.
