  Google Earth install issue
Posted by: bigskill - 06-28-2016, 07:07 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (13)

Hi;
I installed google earth using the x32 instructions in the following.

(06-02-2015, 05:55 PM)avj link Wrote: This article may help you it works on LL 2.4 32 bit, but according to your profile you may have issues with graphics and memory for running the program. Older systems with only 256mb memory probably won't have the 3d rendering capability needed.

http://www.noobslab.com/2014/03/install-...linux.html
It did not give any errors, but I can not find it in menu or search to see if it works
How do I fix this?
I am using LL 3.0 x32

  LL 3.0 and Bluetooth Support
Posted by: N4RPS - 06-27-2016, 03:02 AM - Forum: Network - Replies (2)

Hello, All!

I am posting this because things have changed a little for the LL Citrine (3.x) series and other Ubuntu 16.04-based distributions.

Ubuntu and its derivatives now include a version of blueman that works properly in the repositories. As a result, the blueman PPA is no longer needed - unless, that is, you LIKE "living on the edge". However, what the Ubuntu 'gods' DIDN'T bother to do is include the necessary .conf files in the /etc/bluetooth folder to enable full Bluetooth support. In addition to the audio.conf file, a number of other Bluetooth .conf files were also excluded.

What follows is a copy of a working audio.conf file that can be pasted into Leafpad and saved to the /etc/bluetooth folder. That, and a reboot, will enable Bluetooth audio support.

First, we open Leafpad (or other text editor of your choice) as root:

Open a terminal window with CTRL-ALT-T, and type or cut/paste the following line:

Code:
sudo leafpad /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf

Once Leafpad opens, copy [CTRL-C] and paste [CTRL-V] the following:

# begin copy/paste

# Configuration file for the audio service

# This section contains options which are not specific to any
# particular interface
[General]
Enable = Source,Sink,Headset,Gateway,Control,Media
Disable = Socket

# Switch to master role for incoming connections (defaults to true)
#Master=true

# If we want to disable support for specific services
# Defaults to supporting all implemented services
#Disable=Gateway,Source,Socket

# SCO routing. Either PCM or HCI (in which case audio is routed to/from ALSA)
# Defaults to HCI
#SCORouting=PCM

# Automatically connect both A2DP and HFP/HSP profiles for incoming
# connections. Some headsets that support both profiles will only connect the
# other one automatically so the default setting of true is usually a good
# idea.
#AutoConnect=false

# Headset interface specific options (i.e. options which affect how the audio
# service interacts with remote headset devices)
[Headset]

# Set to true to support HFP, false means only HSP is supported
# Defaults to true
HFP=false

# Maximum number of connected HSP/HFP devices per adapter. Defaults to 1
MaxConnected=1

# Set to true to enable use of fast connectable mode (faster page scanning)
# for HFP when incoming call starts. Default settings are restored after
# call is answered or rejected. Page scan interval is much shorter and page
# scan type changed to interlaced. Such allows faster connection initiated
# by a headset.
FastConnectable=false

# Just an example of potential config options for the other interfaces

[A2DP]
SBCSources=1
MPEG12Sources=0

# end copy/paste

Save the file with [CTRL-S] and reboot. You should now be able to set up and use your Bluetooth audio device.


If copy-and-paste doesn't work for you, I have created a Dropbox that includes all the Bluetooth-related .conf files I could find in a tarball...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/vqpx4kvv0xm6tt...ar.gz?dl=0

Enjoy!

  Opera
Posted by: johnb - 06-25-2016, 10:02 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (15)

Thought i'd have a look at the Opera Web browser especially since they've added VPN. But after downloading it from the official web site and then clicking on the .deb file i get the following error,

opera-stable_38.0.2220.31_i386.deb
error:
Dependency is not satisfiable:
libcurl3 (>=7.16.2)

Does anyone have any idea what is happening here please.

  screen resolution stuck at 640x480 packard bell easynote
Posted by: TMG1961 - 06-25-2016, 08:55 AM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (19)

After my HP laptop died i got an old laptop from my sister. Its an packard bell easynote.
Linux 3.0 32 bits installed fine and works. Only problem i have is the screen resolution. I only have the option of 640x480.


Edit:
Found this post:https://mityer.khdlhfjijfrupr.tk/forums/video-cards/sis-graphic-card-support-(771671-pcie-vga)/
I used the answer Misko gave and now have the resolution set to 1280x768


Now only need to find out what the max screenresolution is that the card can handle

  SURVEY: What's your experience of LL installed in UEFI mode - good, bad or ugly?
Posted by: m654321 - 06-24-2016, 02:41 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (19)

I have...
SET-UP:  Win8.1/LL2.8 UEFI dual boot
PC:          Asus G750JS
PROBLEM(S): see Tutorial post#1 Section F, problem3 at https://mityer.khdlhfjijfrupr.tk/forums/tutor...y-enabled/
                        Occasional sticking at start-up screen - solution in tutorial applied seems to work, though sometimes may need to repeat it more than once when the 'sticking' arises
LEVEL OF SATISFACTION: good
WORTH IT ?      Yes, only if it really does potentially protect my PC against any malware (e.g. 'rootkits'), otherwise it's use is probably questionable... 

Please  indicate your dual-boot or single-boot Linux Lite UEFI set-up (distribution release used), the PC make/model you run it on, and any problem9s) with it's smooth running, and your level of satisfaction with the set-up and whether you think it's worth the trouble to set-up. 

I'm sure this will be useful for anyone interested in Linux Lite & UEFI
Many thanks Smile

Regards
Mike

  LL 3.0 Help Manual opens as index.html text document
Posted by: paul1149 - 06-24-2016, 01:20 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

I just found that launching the Help Manual, whether from the Whisker Menu or a Panel, simply opens its index.html file in LeafPad. This is true no matter which browser I choose as the system default, including Firefox, which I figure is failsafe. This is an excellent resource and I'd like to restore its functionality.


Thanks.

  Sound - Changing default device, mainly for Intel sound users
Posted by: aus9 - 06-24-2016, 04:14 AM - Forum: Tutorials - No Replies

Hi

I am not a Windows user and most users are likely to stay with the graphical control panel for PulseAudio (PA) called PulseAudio Volume Control whose icon can be found in 64 bit under /usr/share/applications/ or via the menu -> Multimedia -> Volume control

If you need a permanent change and hopefully can understand this ....read on.

#########################
PA is a front end to ALSA and has too many  feature to list here. But offers on-the-fly changing of sound output device etc.

Some people with towers, laptops, netbooks etc want to fix their default sound device away from (say) the default likely to be the hdmi device.
Skype for example tends to use analog sound devices as you tend to plug in a headphone mic/ear set.

Lets show how mine first looked after Hard drive install.....I open PA volume control to see this

[Image: 11ifyq1.jpg]

But as its graphical it does not tell me what my default sound device is.  Secondly ALSA counts its device by 0,1,2 etc and not the normal way of 1,2,3 etc. Thirdly we need to know the default sound device is therefore the one the system thinks is index=0  which means card number zero.  Here is my way of checking it.

Open a terminal as a local user and run the command

Code:
alsamixer -c0

and if you have hdmi you are likely to see this image. Ignore whether you have an Haswell but focus on the HDMI please.

[Image: 2ywbrpy.jpg].

Now if you can set up PA, the easiest thing to do would be go to the Volume Control gui and then click the TAB for configution and pulldown one of the analog sound settings depeinding on whether you ouptut to a surround sound system or not. But that may still not help some who need an actual default to be analog such as Skpe users. YMMV.

If interested here is one way to change it.

copy and paste the following command into a terminal as a local user.

Code:
sudo leafpad /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Hint 1  your terminal as a pulldown called edit that an option of paste so you copy from your web browser into a terminal
Hint 2 for wheel mouse users after copying from web browser press down the wheel to paste in terminal.

Next in the terminal you are prompted to enter your password and after pressing enter you will be in a root powered text editor at the correct file.

scroll down and press the mouse at the end of the line of file which on 64 bit is
options snd-usb-audio index=-2  ......and press enter twice

copy paste the next bit ....if your sound modulle is intel.....and then save the file and do a full reboot please.

Quote:# swap index to change default card number
options snd_hda_intel index=1

Most people have intel sound IMHO but if you do not, post the output of a localuser command
Code:
inxi -A
but note that inxi counts from one and not zero......and post your output and we hopefully can offer better instructions

upon reboot open a terminal and repeat the command
Code:
alsamixer -c0

What you should see is a change and that change should be to your analog sound device (normally intel) as per my image
