  Always Have To Mount SSD Drive
Posted by: lc6529 - 07-24-2020, 06:43 PM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (3)

I recently added a 2 TB drive strictly to hold VirtualBox images.    For some reason the drive is not mounting automatically though I have it set to automount (at least I believe I have).

Anyway, the workaround is to mount when the desktop loads but that is annoying.

Any suggestions?

Attached are screenshots of the drive setup and settings.

  Trouble installing Zoom
Posted by: betwixt - 07-23-2020, 05:25 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (4)

Hi all,

I saw last year's thread about zoom but that's not helping in my case, if only because I'm a beginner at all this! I downloaded zoom for Ubuntu, eta al., but then I just have a zip folder to extract from and I don't understand what to do from there. I also tried installing from terminal, but I get this message:

E: Unsupported file ./zoom_amd64.deb given on commandline

Thanks for any help!

  FBReader writes hyphen after each word
Posted by: scullion - 07-23-2020, 02:14 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (10)

Toshiba Portege R700
Lite 5.0

I use FBReader a great deal and I have the version 0.12.10dfsg2-4bu installed from the repository.
When reading an epub book the application inserts a hyphen after every word before the space.
No amount of fiddling with the settings changes this.
I have a similar setup on a Satellite Pro running MX and FBReader (version 0.12.10dfsg2-3) renders the text perfectly.
My old 32bit D420 runs Lite 3.8 and FBReader works as it should.
I've just learned that the developer no longer supports Linux and that version 12 is old software, I've also read that Ubuntu 20 has dropped qt4 which may explain something.
Has anyone else experienced this?

  Kernel tweaking graphic tool
Posted by: Şerban S. - 07-22-2020, 07:07 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

Hi! Smile

Does anyone know if there is a graphic tool that allows to rebuild a kernel without certain modules, such as useless drivers and the like?
My skills in compling/recompiling are close to none. This might help me remove useless drivers (Radeon, for one, even NVidia, on the other machines).

Best regards! Smile

  ffmpeg
Posted by: LarryB1607 - 07-21-2020, 07:48 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (10)

Was trying to install ffmpeg so Firefox could play HTNL 5.  Used the command: sudo apt install ffmpeg.  I was asked for my password.  I could not type in the space provided.  Keyboard totally worthless at that point.  My distro:

Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic
Kernel 4.15.0-112-generic

What gives with the inability to type anything here?

Thanks

  Hi From NZ
Posted by: darry19662015 - 07-19-2020, 07:24 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (8)

Hi to all,

Just trying out Linux Lite on this old cantankerous HP Pavillion dv6000 which doesn't play well with a lot of distros.

So far Linux Lite is running very smoothly on it and as for the documentation and the guides to everything like driver support and zram installation etc is amazing the documentation is really impressive and easy to understand.  Thank you to all who help develop this system.

I am using 3.8 32bit and it runs real sweet thank you.

Regards

  Password incorrect on first boot
Posted by: ihaveaq - 07-19-2020, 12:23 AM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - No Replies

So here's a new problem on my mum's PC that started yesterday. Upon switching the machine on from a complete shutdown (has been off for over 12 hours) it came up with the usual login screen and the "Password incorrect" message in red. BEFORE we touched the keyboard. We logged in, and as a security measure changed the password. Rebooted a few times, message hasn't returned.

Then switched it off last night again for 12 hours, turned on - same this now, "Password incorrect" even though we've just switched it on.

Any idea of what might be causing this?

Thanks
