  Installing Linux Lite 32bit v3.8 on A1181 Macbook from 2006
Posted by: jags2 - 11-04-2021, 04:43 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

Hi everyone,

My A1181 Macbook from 2006 has a new 250GB SSD and 2GB (2x1GB) of RAM that I installed prior to trying to run this computer off 32bit Linux Lite v3.8. To my knowledge that meets the minimum requirements to run this version of Linux Lite on this system.

I ordered a USB from the Linux Lite shop, put it in one of the drives, saw that the USB was lighting up red when the system was on, but got a flashing folder icon with a question mark in it. So I restarted the computer and reset the NVRAM, but that got me the same flashing folder icon again. So I rebooted the system again, holding Options so I could change the startup disk to the USB drive, but nothing comes up on the screen. I can see the cursor now but it's against a blank screen.

Should I format the USB to Fat32 and try this again a different way?

Please help! Thank you.

I'm using 4.8 and want to move to 5.6. My question is does Timeshift work for this or is it only for upgrading within a series?
Thanks

  xfce4-terminal 0.9.0 development release
Posted by: Moltke - 11-03-2021, 12:47 PM - Forum: Off Topic - No Replies

Hi everyone! Hope you'e all having a nice life! Smile
XFCE4-Terminal's seen some love http://users.uoa.gr/~sdi1800073/sources/...log07.html
An excerpt:

Quote:The most exciting new feature is the ability to send signals to foreground processes. This is done either through the right click menu, or through the `Terminal` entry of the menubar. We have Cyrille Pontivieux to thank for the initial implementation of this, which I simplified and later transitioned to the new menu/shortcut system.

  Make windows open on the monitor where the cursor is
Posted by: kamui - 11-03-2021, 12:43 PM - Forum: Other - No Replies

I have a laptop and an external monitor connected to it.
The primary screen is the laptop screen and it is top aligned with the external monitor. The laptop screen is to the left. Like this: [Image: JupdCPj.png]

If I have my mouse on the external monitor and open Google Chrome while a window of it is already open on the primary display, the second chrome window opens on the primary display instead of the external one (where my cursor is).

How can I change that behaviour to windows appearing on the display having the cursor?

  Time keeps changing with every login
Posted by: mathewalex - 11-03-2021, 10:53 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

Linux Lite 5.6 does not maintain the correct time. I have to manually correct the time after each login.

The time in BIOS settings is always found to be correct. Windows 11 also shows the correct time.

Please help. I am tired of manually setting/correcting the time after each login!

Thank you.

Linux Lite 5.6 does not detect the ethernet (wired) connection. The only option available is WiFi, which does work without issues.

Please help. How to make Linux Lite 5.6 detect and set up the ethernet (wired) connection?

Thank you.

  Install Shutter
Posted by: JohnD - 11-02-2021, 01:45 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

Hello,


I just tried for a long time to install shutter and install all the necessary packages for it.  But it did not work because I could not install all the required packages. 


Is there any chance that you add Shutter to "Linux Lite Software"?

Regards JohnD

  Dual boot Linux Lite and Prime OS
Posted by: pkmaarsen - 11-01-2021, 11:23 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (3)

Hi.
Trying to install Android Prime OS next to Linux Lite. Standard installation like with Lubuntu, MX Linux, etc. was relatively simple. When I tried this method with Prime OS, theGrub menu did not show Linux Lite.
Therefore I followed https://brothersithub.blogspot.com/2020/...buntu.html
Thus I installed Prime OS in the Linux Lite System folder / directory of Linux Lite.
To make a boot menu, I opened Grub Customizer, created a new Configuration with the name Prime OS.
Everything looked OK. I rebooted and went to the Grub Menu, where I found Prime OS next to Linux Lite 5.4 After choosing Prime OS, the answer was: '/primeos/kernel' not found.

Furthermore, I got the following message:
