Unfortunately I have no idea what this all means. Do I need this update or can I just ignore it?

Many thanks in advance.

  How can I cahnge the lable of a partition
Posted by: ShdZ-LXL - 10-05-2023, 12:31 PM - Forum: Tutorials - No Replies

Hi everybody

I'm new using LL.

I have a 500GB SSD and additionally installed a 1TB HDD.

I tried to label the SSD partition and the HDD partition. I can change the name of the partitions but not the label.

I have tried to use the "e2label /dev/sd5 "partition label" and "tune2fs -L NEW_LABLE /dev/sda5 and it didn't work.

While writing this, I found that "sudo" was missing before the command. Now it worked with the e2label command  ;D

  Problem with Lite Network Shares
Posted by: elpirata - 10-04-2023, 02:05 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

When I hit "Edit share settings", it doesn't open any files. It just goes straight to the Reload or Restart Services options.

The smb.conf file is there, on /etc/samba/.

  Problem installing LL on HPprobook 4510s
Posted by: ycouvert - 10-04-2023, 06:32 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (3)

Hello ! Trying to install linuxlite on HP4510s probook laptop. Using a live CD the installation runs well but rebooting the error message indicating indicating no disk no boot appears. It seems the bios is "locked" on these laptops. Tried several tips from various linux distributions but nothing worked. Linuxlite operates without a problem from the live cd and even on and usb bootable key but I can't make it run from the hard drive of the laptop. The old windows 7 OS installed on the machine was corrupted so had to eras it... so no OS as I cleaned the disk erasing it before the LL installation. Any solutions/procedures anyone?  Thanks for your help....

  REpository upgrade?

Yes, just done it on my system.  In-series upgrade don't involve re-installs.


From the Lite Welcome screen
Select Install Updates
Scroll Down to find an Upgrade to 6.6 button


Or
Menu
Settings
Lite Upgrade


If you don't see these options, the instructions in the announcement should help.


In my upgrade it does not say upgrade to 6.6 just 6.4 and When I try the seris upgrade it says I am running the current version.
Why?


This also happens when I try to do a repository upgrade.

  Slow shutdown systemd
Posted by: valtam - 09-29-2023, 03:50 AM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - No Replies

I resolved my slow shutdown with this generic fix:

Code:
sudo mousepad /etc/systemd/system.conf

change:

Code:
#DefaultTimeoutStopSec=90s

to:

Code:
DefaultTimeoutStopSec=10s

My personal root causes were: Session c2 and User Login Management both hanging. Now shutdown is almost instant.

  Slow boot fix for systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
Posted by: valtam - 09-29-2023, 03:33 AM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (5)

Made my boot times from 1 minute, to a few seconds:

Code:
sudo systemctl edit --full systemd-networkd-wait-online.service

change:

Code:
ExecStart=/lib/systemd/systemd-networkd-wait-online

to:

Code:
ExecStart=/lib/systemd/systemd-networkd-wait-online --timeout=5

reboot.

Fix is specific ONLY to this systemd service.

I have an Intellimouse.  It works fine except for very glitchy right clock chores.  When I right click I hear several clicks and the menu disappears.  It might take 10 clicks to get a stable menu.  It sounds like a driver thing, but I am not sure where to look.  It works as it should in Windows.

Thanks for any help
