  Settings for selection using shift or ctrl with arrows and mouse gestures
Posted by: Dragoljub - 03-05-2017, 08:48 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (7)

How can be set (if it is possible), when selecting several files in folders, or several cells in Calc files with shift or ctrl and keyboard arrows or with mouse gesture, that after this selection, it is not connected to mouse wheel, that mouse wheel can scroll without zooming or performing any other action?
At present setting, when files or cells are selected using ctrl plus arrows, after doing this selection, mouse wheel can not be used for scrolling, but must be cancelled with escape. How can be set that scrolling mouse button is not connected with anything else?

  Which processor type is better suited to LL (or Linux generally): Intel or AMD?
Posted by: m654321 - 03-03-2017, 03:07 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (5)

My son would like a gaming PC tower for his birthday: I have the choice of a tower with either Intel or AMD CPUs
However, he wants to keep using LL, or Linux generally, dual-booted with Windows OS.

I know that AMD processors seem to give you more 'bang for your buck', and seem to max at speeds above those of Intel, though am no expert on  this.

Do AMD processors support LL or Linux as well as Intel ones, or is Intel better?
I also want a reasonably priced gaming tower, not a battle tank with flashing lights  that'll cost the earth, and one that's not going to push up our energy bills too much - some I've seen are rated at 500 Watts - I could heat my son's bedroom in winter with that power!

Would be grateful for some advice to help me decide. 

Cheers
Mike

  password required to mount 2nd hard drive after initial install
Posted by: crazysquirrel - 03-03-2017, 02:21 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (9)

Hello everyone! I just installed linuxliteos last night on my home desktop computer. The computer has a 75gb ssd drive and a traditional hard drive (storage).

The install went fine with a couple of exceptions - I am not forced to input my user password to mount my 2nd hard drive and I also has an external drive attached when installing linuxliteos.

I edited fstab and remarked out both of the other hard drives. Both now show on the desktop. The external one I can access with no problems now. But my internal secondary hard drive still demands my user password to mount/access it.

I checked permissions on my storage hard drive and all 3 say read and write.

And yet the storage drive is inaccessible to everything unless you mount it first using the password. A bit problematic when you want your music player to access your files and can't.

Am I stuck dismantling my setup and reinstalling again? It is expensive for me to do this as I use a hotspot for internet which costs a small fortune in data plan costs.

I need some EASY uncomplicated way to fix this. I do not know the command line. Just a point click edit type user here.
Typing complicated stuff is not my forte` . . .

  OSMC installer
Posted by: bitsnpcs - 03-03-2017, 03:01 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

Hello,
I am trying to use this installer on Linux Lite to make an sd card for Kodi on Pi3.
The installer keeps bugging out, they seem to think it is a problem unique with Linux Lite, and have just checked it in Mint and say it works/show the log of it working.
Their advise is to use the windows 10 installer and I am trying my best to use windows as little as possible to improve my learning rate on LL.

Update -
I have solved it my problem now, I got the image and used Etcher to burn it, which I remembered from on a thread Jerry had wrote Smile , it had no problem burning it and was very fast.

As a beginner removing it was a total nightmare for me, as was learning how to fix the card it trashed twice.
Terminal wont format it, gparted won't, you have to delete the fat block it mutates to 235MB using gparted from the graphic it wont do it from the context menu, then use terminal to unmount it, mount it, and then it will format it, none of which I new how to do.

To remove the installer I had to find out the purge instructions, as there is none on its site, this even does not remove it, you have to then go all around your system as root and manually delete all it has scattered over your filesystem.
Re-search and repeat again until it's all gone. Fsearch is probably as tired as I am about now.

Even though I struggled a lot with it, I feel happy I did not give in and reach the extra few centimetres away and use windows  Smile

  New Install
Posted by: barnaby - 03-02-2017, 07:36 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (1)

I have just joined the forum so I hope this is the right section to use.  Recently I installed LL on my laptop, which is a test computer. (I have a desk top as my main work computer.) Just a couple of comments.

As I was installing, the program correctly recognised that I live in the UK. Great. However, in use, I found that the date format was not as expected. So I checked and found that the locale had been  set up for the US. I had to change it to GB. Odd. Then, of course, in Orage the first day of the week became Monday. I like my weeks in any calendar to start on a Sunday, so I had to sort that out.

Also, I prefer the xfce-terminal rather than the default Lxde one. I looked through synaptic but it was not there. So I ran all the updates, which took quite a while. Then when I searched again the xfce-terminal was now in the synaptic list, so I was able to install it. Odd again.

These are just comments, not complaints. I have spent a lot of time since, installing extra programs and configuring the desktop. So far everything is great. Many thanks for all the hard work.  LL may well finish up as my main distro.

  Linux Lite live and install video
Posted by: bitsnpcs - 03-02-2017, 05:48 PM - Forum: Off Topic - No Replies

I made a video of LL in virtualbox, showing the live run and install, as an example of what it may look like on a dvd for new users.

I made the audio intro (5 seconds) and outro (33 seconds)  Smile using Audacity. (check them out), if anyone wants to use them, that is okay, if you need the files of audio let me know.
Video edited using Openshot, it was my first time using Openshot and Simple ScreenRecorder so hope it turned out okay.

  Installing Lite Desktop Widget
Posted by: agedone - 03-02-2017, 03:23 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

I installed LinuxLite 3.0 on to a separate powered external hard drive connected to a Toshiba C660 laptop running Windows 10.
The Linuxlite was upgraded to 3.2 using Menu->System->Lite Software

Using info from the online manual ->customize:-
Menu->Settings->Sessions and Startup does not list the expected Lite Desktop Widget to tick.
(The expected Compton is also missing)

How do I add this to the list so the widget can be activated?

Thanks

Apologies for posting this in the wrong forum. New to Linux and Forums. Should have been in Software - Support >> Other

Name is Barnaby. I have recently installed Lite 3.2 on my laptop. I also have a desk top computer which is running Xubuntu 16.04. I have been using Linux exclusively for the last 16 years, so not a beginner. I have seen so many good reports about Lite that I decided to have a look. My wife and daughter also use Xubuntu, version 14.04. (Windows is not allowed in this house.) Since they will need to be upgraded soon I plan to test Lite to see if it would be a good idea to move them over. Xfce is my favourite desktop manager so that should be a help.

I have a couple of comments about the install, but perhaps I should send that to a different section.
