  AppleTouch on Early 2006 MacBook Pro and Lite 3.8: Customize tap zones?
Posted by: UglyStuff - 08-18-2020, 11:37 AM - Forum: Other - No Replies

Hi everyone,

I've installed Lite 3.8 (32-bit) on my Early 2006 MacBook Pro (CPU is CoreDuo, hence the 32-bit install), and I'd like to customize my touchpad (AppleTouch), like I did in OS X thanks to a gem of an app (not free, but worth every penny) called SideTrack, that lets me do one-finger scrolling (ditto Lite, out of the box, thank you guys!), but also lets me decide what happens when I tap in each corner of the touchpad.

For example, in OS X Snow Leopard (I dual-boot the two OSes), tapping in the upper left corner performs a middle-click, tapping in the bottom left goes one page back in my Web browser, when tapping in the bottom right goes one page forward, and tapping in the upper right corner performs a right-click (you can do that in Lite too in the bottom right corner, another one for the good guys, because two-finger right-click is a royal pain in the rear, you ask me).

So, to end your suffering at reading this post, is there a way, via a setting or third-party, to do in Lite what I can do in OS X with my touchpad/AppleTouch?

  Sound Fault newish Sony Tv
Posted by: slivo59 - 08-15-2020, 08:45 PM - Forum: Sound - Replies (7)

i have Linux lite v3.4
used it on a Sony TV model KDL-42W705B made Feb 2015
using the hdmi port to connect sound and vision no problems
i tried using it on new Sony TV model KD-55XF7073 made September 2018
using the hdmi port to connect vision perfect, sound garbled sqeeky
used hdmi sound options

Thinking that the latest v5 would cure the faulty sound waited till it came

Have now installed duel boot Linux lite v5 using the Sony TV model KDL-42W705B
again used the hdmi port to connect sound and vision no problems
so tried using it on Sony TV model KD-55XF7073
using the hdmi port to connect vision perfect, sound again garbled sqeeky
used hdmi sound options

trashes the sound Linux lite v3.4 and v 5 sends out.

My thoughts are that Sony have altered the on board sound somehow between
tv models or maybe my new Sony TV model KD-55XF7073 is a runt and other models have no problems

By the way i also use Raspberry Pi 3 model B on
this Sony TV model KD-55XF7073
used the HDMI port to connect sound and vision no problems

to get by have ordered from Ebay a
HDMI to 3 RCA CVBS Full HD Video 1080P AV Scart Composite Converter Adapter
hopefully this should circumvent the incompatibility problem till a suitable fix comes

  XFCE Power Manager and UPS
Posted by: lc6529 - 08-14-2020, 01:05 AM - Forum: Other - No Replies

So I purchased a CyberPower CP800AVR UPS which connect to the PC with a USB cord and to my pleasant surprise I see the XFCE Power Manager can display the status of the UPS.

I also run Linux Lite on my laptop and I have used the settings in power manager to shut down the laptop when the power is low.

So I was wondering, will the Power Manager monitor the UPS and shut down the system if the power gets low?

  UPS Software
Posted by: lc6529 - 08-14-2020, 12:46 AM - Forum: Other - No Replies

Just purchased a CyberPower CP800AVR UPS due to storms in the SouthEast which have caused two power outages in the last three weeks.  Cyberpower has a command line utility for Linux which is a bit of a disappointment.  I wondered if anyone knew of any other software that might work?  The UPS connects through a USB and I can get status through the command line but would love to see something in the tray if possible.

-- Never mind, looked over at the tray and there is a little icon showing the UPS and it's charge state.  The more I use Linux Lite the more I am impressed.

  Can't install Dukto in LL50
Posted by: arky217 - 08-13-2020, 04:13 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

Dukto is a handy lan file transfer program that I have used a lot in LL48.
It requires no configuration and does not need an internet connection.
However, it won't install in LL50; it gives the following error:

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libqt4-declarative (>=4:4.7.0~rc1)

This happens when I click on the .deb file, dukto_6.0-1_amd64.deb
which I believe is the latest and last version (it's no longer supported).

Any idea how to fix this or is there an alternative file transfer program
similar to Dukto ?

  3.8 32-bit on early 2006 MacBook Pro: Boot fails one time out of two
Posted by: UglyStuff - 08-13-2020, 11:21 AM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (1)

Hi everyone,

I'm new here, but not entirely a Linux newbie. I need some advice and/or guidance on this matter, though: I recently decided to insuflate a little life in my aging and beloved early 2006 MacBook Pro that was forever stuck with Snow Leopard due to its 32-bit-only CoreDuo CPU, and tested several Linux distros before settling down (I think) with Linux Lite.

Of course, i can't install the latest release, so I'm running 3.8 (32-bit...), fully up-to-date, and install was relatively painless.

I may have a hardware compatibility issue, though, whether with the graphics card or TPM module (I thought my MBP didn't have one, but I saw a few error messages about it in verbose reboot), that are causing startup to fail every other time.

In other words, I shutdown Lite, and it doesn't matter if I'm restarting or doing a cold boot, one time out of two, like clockwork, boot will stop at the "feather screen", and the Mac will restart. I'll see the rEFInd screen again, then grub, and only then will Lite actually boot.

It's not random, it happens precisely one time out of two, so I'm a bit at a loss as to why, and how I can correct that.

  grub error - cant boot windows
Posted by: franco-jyq - 08-12-2020, 01:04 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

Hello, i tried to dual boot windows 7 and linux lite in my hp all in one omni 120. At first i had this problem "No EFI system partition was found". So i search in some forums and the solution was creating an Efi partition (256MB). After this linux lite started the installation but at some point it fails and show this error: “executing grub-install dev/sda failed" "fatal error".
Again looking for a solution ive reached this website that says enter in live mode and execute some commands in the terminal to solve it, the problem is that when i tried to launch in live mode it "crashes" and shows the entire screen in one color and start switching colors in loop.
The other problem is that i cant boot in windows because the bootable option doesn't appear anymore in the Bios.
