  Install Lite on USB - recommended partitioning
Posted by: BigAl - 01-24-2021, 07:27 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

Hi there. I have not been able to get live Lite to work persistent with USB, so I will install it to USB instead.
Method > install live image on one USB, install from Live image USB to new USB.

Question:
My destination USB is 1 partition, FAT32. Please advise recommended format for this 16Gb USB eg partitions and formats of partitions thanks kindly.

To follow up on this question, later I tried to install off the USB image. All went well till I got to partitioning, whereby the 2nd USB destination partition was determined as too small and I would have to resize to 5.5Gb by using the partition manager. Unlike other distros, there seems to be no option to edit partitions from the partition manager during install. It would appear you have to close the installer down, and instantiate Gparted to do the job.

Hence my question about recommended partitions and sizes.

Hello;
My Brother HL-4570CDW printer is connected to my network. All  Windows machines can print any time.
But in Linux Lite 5.2 (up to date as of today) it either shows up as "Not connected" or it can not be found.TIA

  SOLVED - XFCE Terminal Question
Posted by: benslinux - 01-24-2021, 12:33 PM - Forum: Scripting and Bash - Replies (1)

Linux user for 9 years, new to Linux Lite and to this forum. What a fantastic distro - coming from Mint Cinnamon desktop to XFCE is a minor adjustment, but I like XFCE - especially the fact that I'm using less resources to run my desktop.

My question is about the XFCE terminal - after I type a command, I'll often get a result in the next like that shows a colored box with a number in it. I'm guessing that these are error codes of some kind - is there some reference list that explains these numbers - ie - should I use these numbers or interpret them in some way?

I don't know how to delete my post after having found the answer - the numbers are indeed error codes. By installing 'moreutils' I got a list that can be called up with 'errno' (error numbers). Sorry to post and answer my own question!

  Disks Contents Mounted at * shortcut file:// opens Linux Lite Updates
Posted by: RumDrama - 01-23-2021, 06:24 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

What'cha doing today (:

When I use gnome-disk and click on "Disks Contents Mounted at" (some location), the shortcut opens the Zenity dialog box "Linux Lite Updates." If I right click, it give me the option to copy a shortcut to file:///some/location.

When I click on this shortcut, I'd rather it open the location in Thunar not the linux update dialog.

Image of the madness: https://i.postimg.cc/k4C5rnkF/link-to-updates.png

Anyone know what to do?

  Programs flashing, start up, unable to use Lite 5.0
Posted by: foxcub - 01-23-2021, 09:21 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

I have downloaded and install all the latest updates (itbtook about 4 hours, I'va a very slow internet connection).

Everything worked fine for another 2-3 hours then my Firefox browser started flashing on and off as well as the file manager, my Home directory and some popup (or other left click dialogue box with about five entries but I was ubable to read them) and any other program I had open as well as some I did nt ooen.

Absolutely impossible to work with this happeninh. I used the CTRL+ALt+Del4 times to get out of the problem but on getting back into the system the same thing happened again, eacjh time.

Any suggestions, please.

Linux Lite 5.0 is certainly not as easy to use as Windows 10 inspite of all the microsoft issues. I looked at installing upgrading to  lite 5.02 but it really seemed quite daunting so didn't go that route - yet!

  Cannot pair Logitech K380 Linux Lite
Posted by: oldwood - 01-22-2021, 04:45 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (6)

Hi everyone,

I am trying to pair a Logitech K380 keyboard but I am not getting a prompt to input a pin number and it fails to pair.

I can connect the keyboard but I need to do that each time I use it so that is not ideal.

The same keyboard works on Mint Mate 20.1 so I don't know why it won't work on Linux Lite.

I am using a USB blue-tooth dongle and have tried other dongles with no change so it seems to be a OS specific issue.

If anyone has any suggestions they would be appreciated.

TIA

Gerry

  uninstalling linux lite from terminal
Posted by: kevin.hansen - 01-21-2021, 10:39 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (8)

Hi,
I need to uninstall linux lite from my hard drive but haven't had any luck so far. It is the only operating system on this HD. I have tried virtually everything but nothing seems to work. Is there anyone that could possibly help me uninstall linux lite from a terminal possibly?  I need in detail directions because I have tried searching but most of the commands do not work in linux lite for some reason. Thanks
