  installer swap partition choices with multiple disks
Posted by: trinidad - 07-26-2016, 12:39 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - No Replies

I actually had an install problem, that kicked me from grub to the Ubuntu installer at the initramfs command term. Although such things are rare for me, it is I think unique to grub in this particular installer, and rescatux would not solve it from the GUI. The LL installer allows you to select your partition manually, so I normally have partitions prepared in advance, and install root to one and swap to another. On this particular sys the user had two different speed SATA disks, each with their own swap partition. The second disk, where LL was installed was the faster of the two, so within the installers manual settings, I chose not to use the slower swap partition on the first disk, opting for the faster 6G swap on the second, by selecting do not use this (the first disk slower one) partition. When I reconfigured grub back to the Debian boot screen of the first disk, LL would not boot, and had no file entries. I manually entered the boot strings, and achieved kernel panic when booting LL, even though it had a 6G swap partition available. I added the slower swap partition back in from the Ubuntu term and all was well again. Grub in LL is the only installer that has given me this kind of issue. Not a problem just a surprise to me. I have since reset the pri on the swaps and all is well, but it was curious to me. Most installers do not have an option to not use a partition, only to select one. I was trying to lessen the work and created more, making an assumption (bad praxis on my part) and I could see new users getting confused with the option so I mention it here. I realize now that the action I called could not be made from the second disk prior to installation, because grub was to install on the first, so even though I manually entered the boot strings correctly it was not about to work after I had reset up grub from the first sys.  Duh. More coffee.

  Spelling error 3.0 Install slide

Noticed a spelling error about the fourth of fifth splash in the installer. "In this release we're exited to bring you a new look... "exited" should be "excited".

  How do I turn off my controller support?
Posted by: Drawing4Life - 07-24-2016, 12:46 PM - Forum: Games Support - Replies (3)

Ok, so wording this is a bit hard, but here is the deal.
In every other Linux Distro I've been on there is no native (gaming) controller support. And I like it that way, because then I can install JoyToKey and configure it myself.
But this time I've decided to program my own software and from there configure my controller (C programming).  8)
However on LinuxLite3(64-bit) when I plug in the controller, it just works. Can move my mouse around with it... That's great!
... How do I turn that off? xD

  Linux Lite 3.0 xfce4-goodies breaks xfce4-whiskermenu How do I fix this?
Posted by: TuxInAGalaxy - 07-23-2016, 02:16 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (8)

I use several items in the xfce4-goodies.  This is the first time I couldn't get the goodies to install properly.  I'm running Linux Lite 3.0 64 bit.  I did some google searches.  I didn't find any quick fixes for this.

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin_1.5.1-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/xfce4/panel/plugins/whiskermenu.desktop', which is also in package whiskermenu 1.5.2.1-linuxlite

How do I fix this?

  suggestion: replace KeePassX with KeePass2
Posted by: LL-user - 07-23-2016, 03:37 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (4)

Hi,

I'd like to suggest to replace the currently via Lite Software offered Password Manager KeePassX with the original KeePass2.

Reasons:

  1. KeePass2 is by far more familiar to Windows users. It is even used in professional IT environments.

  2. KeePass2 offers a lot more features than KeePassX and can for example be integrated with Firefox via KeeFox.

  3. KeePass2 can also be easily installed, especially by using the ppa to stay updated.
Thanks for your consideration Smile

  Posting in the correct Support section of the Forums
Posted by: valtam - 07-23-2016, 02:16 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (14)

Folks, we are getting a lot of people posting Support requests in the wrong section of the Forums. This is creating a lot of unnecessary work for the Moderators and encouraging bad habits. We can no longer be expected to move Topics when they are in the wrong section, unless they are already in a Support section, but under the wrong sub forum. From now on Support requests that are not posted in the correct Support section in the Forums will be locked, eg. if you post a Support request in On Topic or Introductions, the thread will be locked. I know this will be perceived by some as a tough measure, but one cannot expect the Mods to be enthusiastic about their role when this continues.

Correct Forum sections to post in for Support.

Newby question.
If my screen saver or desktop goes into lock screen, I can not get out of it.
It asks for password, I use the same password as login or system update but get invalid/wrong password.
Is there somewhere that has a password I never set ?

  LL 3.0 Window Resizing
Posted by: Xorcist - 07-22-2016, 08:12 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

This isn't really a support question, but more a general question why... Windows appear to only re-sizable via the window header, this is different than it was in LL 2.8 (I could grab a lower corner and stretch a window down, now I can't, I can only grab upper corners). Is there are reason for this change?
