  Do I need to reload Linux Lite again to set partition ?
Posted by: DLX - 06-22-2015, 02:58 PM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (3)

I'm sure before I start to load LL I set two partition at 250gb and an 80gb for LL
The 250gb were left at NTFS I was going to change them later.

Now I'm looking to change size I can only see one drive with partition of 461gb.
I can't resize or unmount at the OS LL is using this drive.

The setting are grayed out I had this before I just had to unmount.

Using Gparted this should see the other NTFS partition right?
Is the easy and quickest way to format and reload LL again setting partition 80gb for LL

I have looked at youtube before I started this question.

  Unicode suport in Firefox
Posted by: friimynd - 06-22-2015, 05:00 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - No Replies

The default install does not enable Unicode support.  The menu item in Firefox was greyed out till I installed 'lite fonts'


sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lite-fonts


is this the right selection?  i found it in another forum post after searching 'unicode'.

  Why Ubuntu? Why Linux Lite?
Posted by: torreydale - 06-22-2015, 04:03 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (21)

I am curious why others here chose Ubuntu and Linux Lite?  I'll go first. 

I chose the Ubuntu family because it appeared to be the most popular for newbies and desktops.  I chose Linux Lite because I thought it would be best for transitioning folks in my sphere of influence over to Linux.  Since I'm a newbie myself, I also like the support, the documentation, and the roadmap of where the Linux Lite distro is headed.  When I find myself selling someone on the benefits of Linux, these things make it an easy sell.

Why did you choose Ubuntu LTS and Linux Lite?

  Printer problem
Posted by: 5150Jim - 06-21-2015, 04:07 AM - Forum: Printing and Scanning - Replies (12)

Hello to the forum from a new user of Linux.
I have been using Linuxlite for 2 weeks now & I'm ready to ditch the WIN partition. But I do have one concern. It's my wireless printer. I have a Canon MG5422 & if I  go to Printers – localhost & send a test page my printer lights up & thinks that it prints but nothing comes out. And both my wife & daughter can print from their laptops (Win 8 & Win 7) but I haven't been able to & I did go to http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2011/06/downlo...river.html & installed the Canon MG5200 Ubuntu Driver - cnijfilter-mg5200series

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-cnijfilter-mg500series


but it didn't work. I have the troubleshoot.txt from the Debug rpt.
Any ideas?
TNX, Jim

  New install on a Dell Inspiron 1501
Posted by: ajlec2000 - 06-21-2015, 02:41 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (1)

My Dell had Ubuntu 10.04 for five years. She was beginning to have issues. I wanted to update to whatever the latest animal is but when looking at the requirements for the new Ubuntu I thought the minimum requirements to be too high for the old girl. When I saw that the wonderfully overpriced Linux Magazine Pro has Linux Lite on the included disc and that the minimum requirements are reasonable I took a chance. So far the install works great. The only glitch is I can't get the on-board Broadcom 4311 working. Fortunately I have a Real Tek wireless USB that plugged, then played.
So here I am.

PS Some of the articles were interesting as well.

  Xscreensaver tip!
Posted by: JmaCWQ - 06-20-2015, 12:04 PM - Forum: On Topic - No Replies

Hello All,

Just a heads-up with regards to running xscreensaver from a keyboard shortcut after upgrading from Linux Lite 2.0 to LinuxLite 2.4.
The shortcut I use is Shift+Alt+S, set for the command /usr/bin/xflock4.
On LL2.0 I used to simply hit those keys & GLSlideshow or whatever was set in Xscreensaver would start & password was required to get back to Desktop or whatever.
I had Screensaver (Launch screensaver and locker program) checked in Sesion and Startup settings in the Application Autostart entries, command: xscreensaver-no-splash.

After upgrading to 2.4 there's also Screen Locker (Launch screen locker program) set to auto start, command: light-locker.
This one takes over the usr/bin/xflock4 command & all that happens is it locks the screen & xscreensaver no longer runs the slideshow or whatever it's set to run.
Solution seems to be to terminate the light-locker process & uncheck it from the Application Autostart entries, once that's done whatever keyboard shortcut runs usr/bin/xflock4 then runs xscreensaver successfully.

I'm not complaining about it or anything, just thought I'd post that in case anyone's having the same problem getting xscreensaver to run the same as I was, might save them the hour or so I spent trying all different things, none of which worked, until I figured out light-locker was running and what it actualy did.

Cheers

  Thank you for the good distro
Posted by: ??? ???? - 06-20-2015, 11:53 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (6)

    Hello from Ukraine! For some time I use linux, tried different distro. Now my 2 laptops set of about 10. But most use it Lite. First, like all Xfce, secondly, I do not come across such a distro which works well as Network Manager (I use only modem internet CDMA).
    However, there are problems with GRUB and multysystem, and I want to ask questions in the forum. English I, unfortunately, do not know because I use Google translator. So whether you understand me?
    PS. Also installed Linux Lite on laptop friends about 1 month ago and they are very happy, though previously never even knew about Linux.

  Chrome freezes system?
Posted by: tcpdealer - 06-20-2015, 01:59 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (9)

Hello Linux lite forum,

this night, I thought about to try Linux lite out. I used lubuntu before, but didn't like it, because It's impossible to use Chrome there. Get 100% CPU and will freeze after 10-20min of using it.

So I want to ask you, does this problem exist on Linux Lite with Chrome too?

I would be happy about a answer.

Cya,

dealer
