  locate doesn´t seem to include home directory
Posted by: Rosika - 01-25-2023, 02:27 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (9)

Hi all,  Smile

I just stumbled over some curious behaviour. The "locate" command doesn´t seem to include my home directory.

On my desktop I created a text-file "prov.txt", then ran "sudo updatedb" but
"locate prov.txt" didn´t return any results.  :023:

The "find" command however doesn´t have any difficulties finding it.
Is it possible that the home directory is excluded by "locate"?

Many thanks in advance and many greetings.

Rosika  :wave

  How to change LibreOffice interface to Brazilian Portuguese?
Posted by: TylerDurden - 01-24-2023, 04:30 PM - Forum: Installing Software - No Replies

Hello my friends! I wanted to know how do I leave LibreOffice with the Brazilian Portuguese interface? The writing language is in PT-BR, but the interface is in English, and even if I put "sudo apt install libreoffice-l10n-pt-br" in the terminal, the message appears that the latest version is already up to date.

How do I make the LibreOffice interface in Brazilian Portuguese? Thanks.

EDIT 1: I've figured it out, guys. I installed version 7.4.4 and it's already in PT-BR.

  Installing LL on a pocket laptop : good or bad idea ?
Posted by: Jean-Marc B - 01-21-2023, 01:39 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (4)

Hi !

First, to be clear, some examples of what a pocket pc is :*

https://www.amazon.fr/TOPOSH-Ordinateur-...r=8-6&th=1

https://www.amazon.fr/Windows-Ordinateur...9tdGY&th=1

I'm considering buying one of those and installing LL on it. Hoping to have something lightweight, cheaper than a tablet, easier to use (I do hate touch screens), good enough to watch videos and surf the net while traveling.

What's your opinion about it ? Doable or not ?

Fire away.

Hello everybody !

There's a new guy on the forum : French, 50, been dabbling with computers since I was 13. Switched to Linux around 6 years ago. Recently installed LinuxLite on an old laptop, which has since better days and turned it into a perfect media center, this gave me the idea for several other projects involving cheap or low end computer.

Hope to have fun with you guys.  :wave

  I did "sudo virt-manager"- help needed
Posted by: Rosika - 01-20-2023, 02:30 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

Hi all, 

oh dear, oh dear. I might have done something stupid and need your help and opinions
:dft001:.

After my fresh install of Linux Lite 6.2. I wanted to get my virtual machines running again. The images are still present on my third partition and yesterday I installed qemu-system and virt-manager .

After that:

Code:
sudo usermod -aG libvirt rosika

(to add myself to the user group libvirt). After that I rebooted the system.

Now I wanted to create a new vm by importing the respective img-file, e.g. virtualdebian.img for my Debian vm.

For this I employed virt-manager. Yet I couldn´t import the img-file as virt-manager complained about not being allowed to do so.
In order to rectify the situation virt-manager offered me to do just that. Yet it still wouldn´t work. It didn´t have the respective rights.  :023:

So I looked around on the web and found here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/722034/p...ne-manager :


Quote:I had the same issue as well. I fixed it by doing the following:

    Run virt-manager with sudo:

     
Code:
sudo virt-manager

    Attempt to create your VM. When the error dialog appears, click Yes to correct the error.

    What this does is change the user and group of your image file (to libvirt-qemu:libvirt-qemu if that's your virt-manager user).

    When you get to the next step, cancel the creation process and close virt-manager.

    Now relaunch virt-manager without sudo and attempt to create your VM again.
   


Hmm, I followed the instructions without doing any thinking beforehand. Such a beginner´s mistake.  :dft002:
I should´ve know better. There´s a rule saying not to use sudo with a gui app. But virt-manager is a gui app.

For what ist´s worth the method described worked and my Debian vm could be imported and run.

BUT:

here are my questions:

- by having run
Code:
sudo virt-manager
have I done something VERY stupid that cannot be set straight again?

- is there a way of finding out if something is amiss?

- haven´t got a clonezilla backup available yet, just a timeshift backup. So I could go back in time a few days if need be...
  for the root partition...

- ... but I would lose a lot of programmes I installed in the meantime.

Any ideas or suggestions of what I should do?

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Many greetings
Rosika  :wave
