  Installing Linux Lite on VirtualBox Virtual Machine / MacOS ?
Posted by: Quouab - 11-13-2020, 03:31 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (21)

Currently using Lubuntu 18.10 as a 21Gb VM in VirtualBox 4.3.40, which I think is the last version to run in Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard (16Gb RAM). Trying to install Linux Lite for the sake of two Linux-only small applications, but so far I've only managed to have it crash as soon as it launches. I cannot copy and paste the resulting error code, but I'll post a screenshot if needed (80Kb).

So, is it possible to run Linux Lite under those conditions? If yes, are the clipboards and the drag-and-drop functions fully bi-directional (only one way clipboard is working between Lubuntu and MacOS). And: what are the basic start-up settings to get it running?

Note that I have no understanding of terminal code (another reasons for wanting to find a replacement for Lubuntu.)

The connection to the data source" New database could not be established
The connection to the external data source could not be established.No SDBC driver was found for the URL'sdbc:embedded:hsqldb'./build/-libreoffice-JOLMwH/libreoffice-7.0.3/connectivity/source/commontools/-dbexceptions.cxx:399

  Linux Lite Achieves Its Goal
Posted by: trinidad - 11-12-2020, 05:51 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (8)

I cannot say enough about how impressed I am with this system. I have used every version of LL since 2.6 and watched as LL progressed toward its goals. No Linux distribution achieves keeping a new user out of the CLI more successfully than Linux Lite 5. As far as I am concerned this in itself makes it by far the most new user friendly Linux system available today for new users coming from Windows. In the office, MS has had a stranglehold for years. Newly hired workers spent hours in classes learning how to use MS software but never received any real instruction on how to administer an MS system. Most new users coming from Windows are of that ilk, and Linux Lite provides them with the easiest potential transition from Windows to a superior Linux product. Simple touches matter to Windows refugees, and thoughtfully selected desktop software like Lite Tweaks and Lite Updates are of inestimable value to them. I am a long time Debian user and probably always will be as long as development continues, but I always recommend and install Linux Lite for Linux beginners. It truly is a beautifully simple and functional system that they always seem to intuitively find their way in.

As the title says. Should be back up in a day or so, major disk failure - https://fosshost.hund.io/issues/5fa9c2c5...4b0ca48275

Install Updates should still work as I've pointed our repo to one of our Mirrors.

  Kensington Trackballs: possible to customize mouse without installing software?
Posted by: jace76 - 11-12-2020, 04:54 AM - Forum: Installing Software - No Replies

I need to remap buttons on my Kensington, but I can't install the KenWorks software on my work PC as it's not approved. I noticed that modifying it on my personal computer didn't "save" to the device as the [url=http://"https://192168o1.com.br/"]192.168.o.1[/url] settings didn't carry [url=http://"https://19216801login.com.br/"]192.168.0.1[/url] over to work machine. Is [url=http://"https://logintplink.com.br/"]tp link login[/url]  there some way to modify the mouse buttons without installing KensingtonWorks software, or somehow copy the profile over to my work machine without needing to install kensingtonworks?

Thanks

  Firefox menu font size
Posted by: LarryB1607 - 11-11-2020, 07:17 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

I would like to make the menu fonts larger.  In Windows I use a userchrome.css setting that does not seem to work at all in LLOS.  Trying something else, I tried the advice given here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1260063 by jscher2000.  The changes I made to layout.css.devPixelsPerPx do not stick and revert back to the default.  I get no permissions prompts for going into this.  Is there somewhere else I can make tese edits.  Thanks
