  Graphics Glitches
Posted by: UltraCookie - 04-28-2015, 10:03 PM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (10)

Hi,

I am experiencing several glitches on my screen. They come and go and its hard to take screen shots of them. I will add them when I manage to make some.

1. Black or white rectangular boxes in the bottom panel. They go away when I move the mouse or draw a window over them.

2. Invisible window decoration. happens sometimes. Since I have window shadows active its easier to tell when it happens. This even sometimes affects the Whisker Menu. Can be reversed by clicking on the window a few times.

3. Flickering and flashing in gifs and videos in FireFox. If the gifs at the top of the screen it stops (weird  :-X ). The youtube videos only glitch if they are either embedded on other sides or are played in 480p. 360p, 720p and 1080p work fine. Is this because I use the HTML5 player? Also the youtube player sometimes has some flickering back boxes on the panel at the bottom of the player where the play/pause buttons are.

I am using LL 2.4 on a Lenovo E540 with Intel 4600 HD Graphics with the Intel Graphics Driver.

I appreciate all help I can get. These things sometime really get on my nerves.

  Overheating hard drives hddtemp, data loss
Posted by: galen - 04-27-2015, 01:27 PM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (8)

I'm not saying this a LL problem but I was wondering if others have been experiencing overheating hard drives.
I have 3 hard drives on 3 machines all overheating and causing data loss all within days of each other, 2 desktops 1 laptop. (possibly one more hard drive)
I check my system RAM, smartdrive fairly often
gsmartcontrol
is reporting recently my hard drives are reaching high values 79c, 97c 100c !
and yes my desktop SATA drive was hot enough to burn fingers

I wonder if there is a  bug in kernel  3.13
and has anyone else has seen anything.

I've been monitoring
sudo hddtemp /dev/sda
but am hoping to log temps, and have alerts in case of over heating.

I have a question in at

  How to install dailymotion mass uploader on linux?
Posted by: MooiFlieks.Com - 04-27-2015, 01:22 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

Hey there! 

I'm trying to install Dailymotion Mass Uploader ( http://www.dailymotion.com/pk/extras/mass_uploader ) onto linux lite, but I'm afraid I'm going to need step by step instructions on how to do it. 

Clicking on DOWNLOAD downloads some .air file, and when it's done it's nice and neat on my computer, but I have no idea how to install or what to do with it further.  I don't think that's the mass uploader install file yet. 

Help is sorely sought after.

  Social Network Intergrated Login
Posted by: valtam - 04-27-2015, 05:49 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (3)

You should now be able to link your Social Network account to the Linux Lite Forums.

The following Networks are enabled:

- Facebook
- Github
- Google
- LinkedIn
- Twitter

To link an existing social network account, go to Profile, Forum Profile (scroll to bottom) and select a Network.

This also makes it much easier for people to register too and makes it difficult for bots to register.
Also handy if you forget or lose your Forum password :p

  Is my system using only half of a VRAM?
Posted by: Zead - 04-26-2015, 02:45 PM - Forum: Video Cards - No Replies

$ lspci -v -s 01:00.0
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV516/M64 [Mobility Radeon X2300] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 1449
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
I/O ports at a800 [size=256]

Expansion ROM at fa9c0000 [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: <access denied>

Some websites say X2300 has only max 128MB, but some says 256MB... Windows told me I have 256MB too.

Maybe Windows detected wrong memory size?

  bind-home.conf not binding to /home on LL2.4/win8.1 UEFI dual boot set-up
Posted by: m654321 - 04-26-2015, 11:51 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (24)

I have just set up a LL2.4 dual boot on a new laptop, pre-installed with win8.1, with UEFI (fast boot, secure boot) enabled.  Everything has worked very well until I got to the stage of binding LL2.4's  /mnt/DATA partition on sdb to My Home Directory on sda.  The laptop has two separate physical drives: SSD1 (sda) for the operating systems, SSD2 (sdb) for the /mnt/DATA.  I have done this set-up before, but only with an MBR file structure, not a GPT one as in the present set up.  I don't know if the use of GPT in the present set-up affects binding, or if the information I should enter in either the fstab file or the bind-home.conf  file is different for GPT compared to MBR set-ups. I'd be grateful if you could advise.

At the moment when I reboot the laptop & choose LL from the grub screen it doesn't fully boot but hangs indefinitely at the screen with the image of the feather with the progress bar below it.  I let the progress bar run completely to the right, but still no rebooting. Any help on this one is much appreciated  as I'm out of my depth here.

Regards
Mike
