can i fresh install Linux Lite, install updates, restart PC, and then install nvidia video card through terminal or something? it's ok to me it says "Ubuntu 16.04" booting screen because i want to play games on my PC

I'm trying to understand why I am getting apparently inconsistent results in terms of success or failure when attempting to update LL3.2 just after install. From previous attempts I believed that the problem related to the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxlite.list


Separate installations of 64bit LL3.2 were made from the same USB stick in two newly formatted partitions on a Del XPS M1330  (Intel Core2 Duo CPU with 2GB RAM).
In both cases update during installation was not chosen.


Installation in sda1
Not sure if Internet was connected during install. but doing updates during install was definitely not selected.
After install did updates using Menu > Install updates >Agree to get update list > Listed 179 items > Click Update > Downloading ... > Installing > [size=78%]Update window vanishes > Eventually successful completion reported.[/size]


After this, /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxlite.list contained
[tt]
deb http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/ citrine main
[/tt]


Installation in sda3
Not connected to Internet during install. [/size][size=78%]After install,  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxlite.list contained [/size]
[tt]deb http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/ xenial main[/tt]


WITHOUT an internet connection did Install Updates from welcome screen and entered password.
Clicked Yes to (try to) "fetch the updates list". [/size][size=78%] Get "No updates available" - fair enough![/size]


Connected wifi. Again, from welcome screen did Install updates and entered password.
Clicked Yes to (try to) "fetch the updates list"
It started to download then said "Error - coudn't fetch the package cache information lists"


Tried sudo apt-get update
Got messages ending with:
[tt]
Reading package lists... Done

Edited  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxlite.list  to contain
[tt]deb http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/ citrine main[/tt]


Re-ran  sudo apt-get update  - seemed happy now.


Ran Updates from welcome page - successful now.


Installation media
A check on installation media (mounting iso image) showed  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxlite.list to contain
[tt]deb http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/ citrine main[/tt]


So how, when and in what circumstances did the "citrine" get replaced by "xenial" on the sda3 installation?

hey guys. i  am on an bind i need an program like Indsign to make my Magizine. i am on one hand willing to pay 237 but i want opensource only for my magizine workfloe

Sorry if this is in the wrong subforum, but...

I have been using LL 2.8 on my old Dell: Core i5 2450M, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 500GB hdd. It's been working fine but I felt like upgrading to an ssd. So, I bought an ssd (Kingston 120GB), installed that, and installed LL 2.8 again, no problems there. Here's what's happened:

- startup time improved, as expected
- shutdown is possibly slower. Clicking shut down evokes no reaction, then shutdown begins 30 sec later, and the computer shuts down fast.
- chromium (which I had been using prior to ssd installation) took 30 sec to start.

Another more serious quirk is with youtube - it doesn't work at all. If the video loads at all, there is no sound. Figured I'd try using the awful Firefox browser, same result. Installed Chrome, same result. What is happening? Putting the hdd back seems very attractive right now.

I am new to Linux and recently installed Linux Lite 3.2.

When I installed Opera browser using .deb file from Opera web site, I found that the menu option "Install Updates" no longer worked. I would get the error message "Failed to execute command "/usr/scripts/updates-gui" (no such file on directory)". I know that the Opera install caused the problem because I reinstalled Linux Lite and kept testing "Install Updates" while modifying the system to my liking.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong and how I can install Opera cleanly?

Thank you.

Hello.
I cannot change the brightness on my laptop, it is very dark, and i can hardly see what's on the screen.
I have the latest linux lite (I updated it from the previous version via the updater.
My laptop is Hp Pavilion (about nine years old).
The functuion button with the brighten or darken button don't respond (so I cannot change the brightness)

Here what happens when I start my laptop:
The splash screen (the first screen that appears- with the feather on the yellow background) it first appears very bright and after a second it dims down. and that's how I see everything after linux lite is up.

I tried the power settings, I don't find a way to make the screen brighter. Please help.
Thank you.

Great to see us included in the list.

Hello,
the remote will navigate up and down the tree in home, will select a folder, for my test I selected Music folder.
It opened the folder.
I then selected an mp3, clicked it and it opened vlc player like it would if the mp3 were clicked by a mouse and played the song.
I was not able to stop the song with remote or use it in vlc, I had to use the mouse.

It was the last thing I will be testing with it.

Hello,
as per the Kodi by remote control, the same remote.

1/ open Lite Software
2/ enter your password

3/ Chose install or remove using your remote control arrows
4/ scroll up or down the software list using your remote control and yes install too.

Maybe it can be adapted for use if a keyboard, its cable or connection was faulty.

Very awesome function  8)

Hello,

results of testing for the remote control are a success, I can confirm Kodi with remote control on Linux Lite 3.2 works perfectly.

Test Results

1/ it is plug and play in Linux Lite, no additional installs/drivers needed.
2/ I tested, a-e as below with no problems, works perfectly, tested during video playback to -
    a/ show file info
    b/ pause and play the video
    c/ seek on the video stream (move forward and backwards in video using remote)
    d/ stop and play the video
    e/ slow motion forwarding of the stream

3/ Using Fusion Addons (links to tutorials for Fusion set up in Kodi Sound thread on this forum) I installed a radio addon (Buddha Radio) using the remote control only, then played the radio station, no problems.

4/ Using addons I installed a repo, no problems.

5/ Using install from zip, I navigated from main screen and typed using the on screen keyboard using the remote only to navigate the on screen keyboard and done, okay and cancel settings, no problems.

6/ Using the remote I accessed all of the main screen sections, System, Programs, Music, Video, Pictures, and all of their sub menus, no problems, it adds a gentle swiping sound when navigating the screens in gui.

7/ accessing the video menu, I browsed to, located and played a 1080p movie stream for a few seconds (testing purposes, "Avatar"), skipped in video, forward, back, used all player functions and additional functions such as volume control and audio settings work correctly. Similar to #2 but followed on this time with #8.

8/ I turned off the video, skipped back screens to the home screen, and shutdown Kodi, all using the remote.

9/ the remote usb receiver was located approximately 2metres/6 feet behind me in the front of the Linux Lite computer, I pointed the remote at the screen not the usb receiver, lol, just in case your new Linux Lite media centre is not in line of sight, no problems this worked fine.

Buttons used -

The circular button with "OK" in centre, is used to select something.
Surrounding this button is a ring with arrows for up,down,left right these are used to move around the screen, not movement like a mouse, but fast eg; each click jumps to the next button in Kodi.
At the bottom of the remote are extra arrows for left and right these were used for volume, they can also be used to scroll along the main menus and sub menus slowly (or quickly  )
There is a upside down looking return icon button, this is used to return back through the pages or screens, this can be also be done quickly if you want.

As you click the buttons you know where you are in Kodi as the buttons in Kodi that are selected highlight as usual.

Ideal remote for Linux Lite and Kodi.

Buttons unused
There are 4 extra buttons that are not needed on the remote.
The unused buttons are house icon, i, tiered menu icon, a square icon.

Maybe some experienced users will like to hack these unused buttons, it's got potential with code edits for other software. VLC with remote ?

Other tests -

1/checked if with Kodi closed it moved the mouse, or if any remote buttons caused any action on the desktop, the buttons had no reaction on the desktop.

2/ opened vlc, youtube to MP3, and firefox, tested to see if could be controlled using remote, this did not work, they maybe can be improved to do this.

3/ opened the terminal tried each button on remote, when pressing the OK button, each press moves the prompt down to a new line in the terminal. My guess is someone will get this action used on them as a prank  :o
When holding down either the square button, or the triangle button, you can hold the state of the cursor in the terminal, example it flashes, if you press whilst its black, it stays black and will not flash until you let go, if you press whilst it is on the disappeared part of the flash it stays disappeared until you release the button, however it only affects the flashing as text can still be typed into the command line using your keyboard whilst the cursor is not flashing.

4/ in install/remove programs, the up down arrows move the highlighting up and down the left menu, all, installed etc, pressing the house icon takes it to the top of the list.

What remote did I use -



The remote is sold by and "exclusively designed to only work with OSMC" products listed as -
1/ their own branded Kodi box.
2/ a Raspberry Pi running OSMC.
3/ Apple TV box running OSMC".

I have a 2 Raspberry Pi Zero and bought this remote for doing a remote controllable Kodi, I decided to try this on Linux Lite with Kodi instead.
I used it as it arrived out of the box, no modifications.

This remote is sold with receiver and OSMC Logo for £16.99 GBP !
I notice it is made in China, the inside battery cover states "AN1617B", please update everyone of your search results in a reply.

I hope it helps some members around their homes with an additional way of enjoying their Linux Lite computers.
I would like to suggest a remote considered for the Linux Lite product Shop.
