I want to run a small Windows application in my little mini laptop. I have Linux Lite 3.8 installed.
How do I install Wine in this operating system?
Or first of all, is it possible?

  Abnormal operation once booted
Posted by: Rapidrob - 08-23-2022, 01:28 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (6)

I'm running the latest LL OS always updated. Dell laptop has been running this OSs for several years now no real issues.
Today I booted the lap top up and noted that the home page is displaying some abnormal operations I'm not doing/requesting.
1. The mouse is jumping all over the screen or disappears all together.
2. The Battery Power Manager keeps showing up several times in a minute showing battery run times from normal to 6 moths run time.
3. A pop-up menu as if I clicked the home screen keeps popping up and going away by itself
4. Work spaces will cycle back and forth between each other.
5. If I go to the main lower left menu and try to open it it will not open. if it does open after several minutes of trying and I go to shut down,the laptop will not shut down instantly.It will take several minutes to recognize the command and then shut down.
6. The BIOS screens mouse is also abnormal in operation. It jumps all over the screen or goes away all together. I cannot get to the system info to post the version of LL.
I'm not sure if this is a LL software clinch or my laptop mouse pad has died? It was working normally last night and now no matter if I shut down and pull the battery for several minutes, the same problem is present.
I am not a computer expert by any means,but would like help with this problem please.

  What ubuntu version is Lite 6 based on
Posted by: former - 08-21-2022, 04:47 PM - Forum: Installing Software - No Replies

I need to install wine-mono for some old 32bit app, and I have several different ubuntu versions APP's available. (since there is nothing available in synaptic)

I read throug new release announcement https://www.868212.xyz/forums/relea...-released/, I read review on dostrowatch... then I decide to just rather ask. New in ubuntu world, all this is new to me.

Here is the link where are different APP's:
https://www.mono-project.com/download/st...wnload-lin

I probably need to install for: Ubuntu 20.04 (amd64, armhf, arm64, ppc64el) But I would rather ask first, before risking to damage my install.

Thank you

Edit: Never mind, need 32bit mono, which is depreciated looks like.

  Psensor or equivalent
Posted by: Jim0000 - 08-20-2022, 09:14 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

I have a 32 bit Linux Lite operating system installed 3.8 version in a very old HP Mini laptop computer.
I would like to find an equivalent of the Linux Mint Psensor, for monitoring the CPU temps et. al.
Is there one available?

Jim.

  Lite Software shows 'Not installed' despite being installed
Posted by: Evert Homan - 08-20-2022, 08:18 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (5)

Hi,

I have been running Linux Lite 6.0 for some time now and love it. I have installed additional programs using the Lite Software app, but it shows 'Not installed' as the status for everything I installed. This must be a bug.

Keep up the good work :045:

  an issue in thunar i discovered
Posted by: ingternek - 08-19-2022, 04:56 AM - Forum: Security & Bug Fixes - Replies (3)

Hi
my first time posting
so this is what i have observed
in the first hr of use, i have plugged in and out multiple HDD/thumbdrives (by the normal mounting + unmounting rituals).
then i noticed 1 of the 2 HDD disappeared from the thunar left hand panel
i didnt think it is a biggie maybe a loose port?

after i rebooted, the 2 HDD n 2 other thumbdrives are there as usual
then after i added the 2 HDD to places as shortcut, they both disappeared
under media/user folder the 2 drives are still present
so it is still in "system" and not "undocked"
i could add remove it as shortcut, but it no longer appears as a "drive" (disappears from devices)
it appears as 2 drives when i freshly reboot the system.
the 2 thumbdrives appear as "xxxx-xxxx" labels in the media/user folder
i was wondering, does it have anything to do with me renaming the drives as "10000" and "22222"?
(*edit : most * = latest comment)

****** i use filefreesync and it sees the 2 HDD, and could sync the files between it.

******* aha, so i close all the thunar instances and reopen a fresh 1, the 2 HDD reappears under devices. but the 2 no longer have the "undock" button which it used to have. the thumbdrives still have the "undock" button.

does this count as a bug?

cheers

**and btw guys, great job with linux lite.
***i just need a net monitor and a cpu temp in the panel now.
**** and virtualbox works great ! faster than mint i would say.

  WiFi driver for desktop required.
Posted by: Jim0000 - 08-18-2022, 02:08 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (8)

I have a new Linux Lite installation on an old Dell desktop computer.
I bought a WiFi dongle that appears to be meant for Windows and Mac.
Is there drivers available for using a generic USB WiFi dongle for this operating system?
I will attach a copy of the terminal result from inxi -FN
I could not find a button to select

Code:
like I can in Linux Mint.
Apologies for the that.

Any assistance will be most welcome.

Jim.
