Hello,

I recently got my first RC quad, it is a small quad E010, it's the first one to arrive, to try RC, it is an indoors one.
One more will arrive in a few weeks, it will be another quad called E012, it's a smaller sized model than E010 it is 65mm x 65mm.

I would like to know if any members like, or use quad/drones, or other RC type vehicles currently, or in the past ?
Which type of ones did you try using, have currently, or had previously ?

Does anyone hack/tweak their RC stuff ?
Or does anyone hack RC profiles with Linux and devo, taranis radio or others ?
I don't understand it just seen one video of setting radio, it didn't show adding of code but the setting up of E010 on devo radio, it mentioned that the code is done using Linux.

Which YouTube channels did you find useful when first try it, your favorites now, or do you have channel for this ?

Stats lol, I crashed at least 200 times, I managed to do flips, one time I managed to do 4 flips one after another and not crash it, several times I managed to do 2 flips, ceiling height is 2.3 metres.

Mostly I fly it like 20 or 30 seconds before crashing it.
It came with one battery of 30C and its charger, I also got a pack of 5 batteries that is 45C each and a charger, coz I really need the practice 

Flight "hours" (minutes) so far, x3 charges of the 30C, x6 uses of a 45C. (eg I used 6 times a 45C battery, not 6 times 5 batteries etc) I used one again since recharging them all.

I don't have a camera for it yet, I need to learn to fly it more first. Pick right mountings and hoop for my crashes lol, and that is coordinated if possible.

The online Help Manual is now search-able.

There has been a ton of work on this behind the scenes, and I can say I'm pretty happy with the end result.

The best way to search for results is to use one word, using phrases will not be as effective as a one word search.

Example:

If I search for the word ext4

which returns:



If I search using the phrase how do I format using ext4

which returns:



Phrases do work, but they have to match exactly what is written in the Help Manual eg.

dual boot with Linux Lite

which returns:



There is no search-able offline system. This is not being ruled out yet.

Please help spread the word about this, and remember to mention it in Support threads.

Let me know how it all goes. I hope you all get something out of using it

My Samsung 4TB external USB drive fails to mount. I want to mount it as I want to wipe it clean and reformat it.
When I open the file manager, the name Samsung appears under DEVICES, but a notification on the display says "Failed to mount "Samsung".  An operation is already pending".

However, using the terminal, this USB drive is detected by the command inxi -d, output from terminal shown as ...

First time joining any forum, looking forward to being a member of this community.



I switched from Windows to Ubuntu about 10 years ago, then started distro hopping
until I settled on Linux Lite late last year.


I like the Linux community and their willingness to share and help. I like Linux because I can tweek 'til the cows come home (natural-born tweeker). I really like Linux Lite because I can make it run on my old computers, the install is quick and easy, and it just runs straight out of the box. Of course, my tweekiness causes me to change things up, but that's the fun of Linux! ;D

Like a few others here, I am older and need it simply-stated. Having read about the Samba vulnerabi-
lity and realizing I am now 100% Linux Lite, I have to wonder how important Samba would be for me.
Could I just UNINSTALL it, and remove any potential problems? When would I need Samba if not dual-
booting with Windows?

Sorry if this is one of those 'stupid questions.' Also hope this was the best place to post this.

Hi all,

I go to synaptic package manager and I get this message.
"You have 2 broken packages on your system"
I go to the "Broken" filter and it comes up with 2 packages.
1. Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.4.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
2. Generic Linux kernel image

I hilite #1 and it tells me
"You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install
the linux-generic meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work
correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed."

I search "linux-generic meta-package" and a list comes up but not with "meta-package" in it.

Can this be affecting my "Install Updates" which, recently, has had no new updates.

Hi,
I'm new at all this (my first time on the sight and first post).  I installed Linux Lite on a netbook and I am very pleased with it.  I thought I would try to install it on my old Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop.  The installation went along perfectly.  The display looked fine (1024x768 displayed in settings) and everything else seemed to work perfectly afterward.  I decided to clean my hard drive and install Lite on it permanently.  Everything seem to go smoothly until I rebooted.  Rebooting went smoothly except the screen size was small (640x480).  The 640 setting was the only display setup setting listed.  I read where others have had this problem.  I found the same exact issue loading Xubuntu, Lubutu and new Mints.  I found a very old version of Mint that did displayed a full screen.  I don't like Mint as well as I like Lite.

Questions: Can I find and can I load the video driver that is in bedded in the Linux Lite installation software?  Do you have any suggestions?  Note: Linux is very new to me.

The Lite widget keeps saying that last update was 8 days ago. But the laptop is updated.

Hi everyone,
Here is a little application that will help users reset Linux Lite 3.x series Menu.


Whisker Menu Restore will restore shortcuts, applications names and the default Whisker Menu layout in Linux Lite. In the process, it also fixes the bug where users are unable to remove multiple entries from the Whisker menu after uninstalling applications such as libreoffice, simple-scan and others. It also allow users to preserve custom preferences such as Favorites, Recently Used items, Background Opacity, Items and Category icons size, menu hierarchy, menu icon, menu title and even the menu width an height.





To install Whisker Menu Restore, from Terminal:
