  Linux Lite 3.0 based off Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Posted by: valtam - 10-29-2015, 07:45 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (10)

Some early information. Historically speaking, there are always some pretty important bugs squashed after a major LTS release. Linux Lite 3.0 will be released as per the roadmap - https://mityer.khdlhfjijfrupr.tk/forums/relea...e-roadmap/ This 8 week period gives the new LTS time to settle in and stabilize, as well as allowing us to release our well-known stable first release. The first Linux Lite Beta 3.0 is likely to be released 4 - 6 weeks after the 16.04 LTS release.

  Windows tiling
Posted by: Coastie - 10-28-2015, 06:47 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

Sorry if this small but annoying problem has already been covered in this forum or help manual. I cannot either find the fix or do not understand it if I did.  ???

Some how by accident I have changed my windows tiling setting. When I first boot up I normally start Thunderbird then start Firefox after reading mail. Thunderbird opens full screen down to panel which does not hide. This is what I want. When I start Firefox, it opens full screen but the title bar is below Thunderbird's and the window bottom is behind the panel instead of above it. I want Firefox full screen to the panel and completely covering Thunderbird's window. I use the icons in the panel to change programs.

How do I reset the window tiling the way I described?

Have LLV2.6 running on a Dell notebook, did this for Google Earth install
opened Terminal, entered:
wget http://dl.google.com/earth/client/curren...hLinux.bin && chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin && ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
System went out and did the install, all worked fine.

Tried on another system, same steps, now system says it can't create folders and the /etc/gnome/defaults.list.new: permission denied.

Hi Jerry,


Now that Ubuntu has gone the systemd (vomit) route, what are the plans for future versions of Linux Lite?

  [Information] Changing your "hostname"(Computer Name)
Posted by: Wirezfree - 10-26-2015, 08:26 PM - Forum: Tutorials - Replies (6)


Having just changed a hostname on 1 of my PC's thought I would share.
Maybe useful if you have made a mistake with the name, or you just want to change it, or you have "cloned" a VM in Virtualbox.


The hostname is the name of your computer, in a terminal you see,
dave@lappy:~$
"lappy" is the "hostname"


First make copies of the configuration files, in case you want to undo this:

Code:
sudo cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.old
sudo cp /etc/hostname /etc/hostname.old


Then you need to edit the "2" files below which have the "hostname" in them.
Edit the files and change the "old" hostname to the "new" hostname


Code:
gksu leafpad /etc/hosts
Then
Code:
gksu leafpad /etc/hostname


Now re-boot, and you now have a "new" hostname


"Important"
If you have set up network "sharing" on this PC you also need to change the "netbios name" to match the "new" hostame


First make copy of configuration file, in case you want to undo this:
Code:
sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.old
Then
Code:
gksu leafpad /etc/samba/smb.conf


Edit the file and change the "netbios name =" from "old" hostname to the "new" hostname that you changed above


Now re-boot, your PC will now show on your network with a name that "matches" your "new" hostname
If you have created links to this PC from "other" PC's, you will also need to edit those links to match the "new" hostname.


If you wish to change back to the "original hostname", you will need to do the following:


Code:
sudo cp /etc/hosts.old /etc/hosts
sudo cp /etc/hostname.old /etc/hostname
sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf.old /etc/samba/smb.conf


The re-boot.


Remember to change back any links to this PC from "other" PC's,
you will need to edit those links again to match the "original" name.

  Wireless USB adapters
Posted by: eikelein - 10-24-2015, 08:48 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (5)

:-[
As an IT old timer but Linux newbie I am embarrassed to have to ask this question but I have found no info:

Is there, and if yes, where is a list (or similar) of wireless USB adapters that LL 2.6 will work with out of the box?

Or can someone please just tell what make/model to look for?

I had bought some (cheap, sic!) wireless adapters with a Ralink chip. The installation instructions for Linux on the disk were so cryptic that I returned the gizmos.

TIA for any info.
