  Hi, new here and love this OS so far
Posted by: 5dollaralien - 06-06-2020, 09:19 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (2)

Just wanted to say Hi, and also complement on a wonderful install on my older Acer 5520-5912 Amd turion 64x2 tl58 with Nvidia 7000m graphics that on other distros I had to fudge drivers and such for the graphics but this one was just clean and unexpected I guess.. I breathed a sigh of relief when I booted the live version and it just worked..everything so far just works!!! So it was on to install and it just works!!! Thank You guys so much

Oh also I tinker with computers quite a bit but not an expert, my Son is the expert so when I need help..in fact he gifts me things like a Dell Poweredge R610 server for Christmas so I have set up Proxmox with Ubuntu lxc, plex server, and still experimenting. I am using refurbished office computer as HTPC, and use raspberry pi's as well, so I do like to play around with operating systems. And I work in Tool and Die/ Vinyl window extrusion environment so not even related.
Oh and I hate to throw away old computers it just seems like a waste, but I might have a problem.

  Resolucion de Error de Sincronizacion
Posted by: leonardo.mendez - 06-05-2020, 08:58 PM - Forum: Spanish [Spanish] - No Replies

Buenas tardes me he topado con el dia de Hoy con una falla que me ha tenido todo el dia tratando de resolverla y he dado con las siguientes soluciones:

Primero editamos el siguiente archivo en una terminal colocamos sudo nano /etc/ntp.conf
modificamos las lineas que aparecen de los servidores ntp o las comentamos con el #
server 0.pool.ntp.org
server 1.pool.ntp.org
server 2.ntp.pool.org
server 3.pool.ntp.org

Por las corrrespondientes a nuestro pais o zona horaria estan en esta direccion web:

https://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/ve

En mi caso son las de mi pais Venezuela
server 0.south-america.pool.ntp.org
server 1.south-america.pool.ntp.org
server 2.south-america.pool.ntp.org
server 3.south-america.pool.ntp.org

Luego con CTRL O salvamos y luego salimos con CTRL Z

Reiniciamos y en una terminal al entrar colocamos lo siguiente:
sudo ntpdate -u ntp.ubuntu.com

Listo las actualizaciones se empiezan a realizar

  keyboard unable to eliminate fn keys
Posted by: foxcub - 06-05-2020, 04:55 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (1)

I had ubuntu 12.04 (I think that what ir was) and I ran lite t from a usb stick. Everything was working fine - no keyboard problems. So I installed Lite 5 to replace ubuntu 12.04.

However, I now cannot use all the keys on my keyboard - I am unable to find a way to get out of the fn keys (small keyboard, no keyboard numbers pad). I have tried the usual key combinations: n+esc, fn+page UP, + page down etc. Luckily, I can log on without  problem keyboard works as it should. However,  once I am logged on and in the full install I have the problem.

In the systems Information it says the keyboard is an AT Translated Set 1 keyboard (if that means anything to you!).

Should I try to reinstall. Personally, I have run out out of ideas.

Edit: I have just run Lite 5 from the Live USB stick and I now notice that in fact, the FN keys are "stuck" so that I cannot use all the alphabetical keys as FN has blocked them and are displaying the numbers pad instead.

Edit: I have just run Lite 5 from the flask USB again and I now notice that in fact the keyboard does not work properly s the FN keys are "stuck" on so that L=3, K=2 and J=1 etc. I cannot find a way to unstick the FN keys.

Machine is a Lenovo Ideapad G465 laptop, originally windows 7 home. now dual booting with Win 7.
Windows seven is working correctly in all ways so the issue must lie somewhere with Linux Lite 5.

Many thanks in advance.

foxcub.

  Notification tool doesn't work
Posted by: thedoor - 06-05-2020, 03:11 PM - Forum: Security & Bug Fixes - Replies (9)

NOTE: This issue has been resolved by Jerry in a fix shown below and a permanent fix is planned for a future update, if not already included in one.

On my LinuxLite 5.0 second install, the Notification tool is totally useless (also on the first install). No matter what setting I choose, nothing changes. It's always the same look and always in the upper right corner. When I change to a different look, the preview is always the same. The preview doesn't show the new setting. Also, the notification shows for 10 seconds, regardless of the timing set for it. It's useless to even have the tool, since using it doesn't change anything. Obviously something isn't working. It would be nice if it worked.

  Linuxlite 5: install issue-no wifi-stuck at updates/software step
Posted by: luunatik20 - 06-05-2020, 12:24 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

Hello All.

Looking for help with fresh install coming from a stable and happy system. I made back up of all required files and since deciding to go with upgrade to LL5, am now stuck.

Link to screengrab
https://www.udrop.com/48l/1C03B1E7-8BE8-...CCE2A.jpeg

I tried installing Ubuntu 20.04 and worked fine only it was slow for my hardware specs.

I have tried different usb sticks, fresh download of LL5 iso as well to no good result. Stuck at same stage. I tried to get 4.8 installed, it goes through with install, but, wifi (BCM4352 gets disabled).

Please assist to get LL5 installed.

Additional info:
Do not have lan input to use wired connection on lenovo yoga pro 3
Available, listed wifi driver unable to install without internet

Also have tried install driver manually via deb file, no change.

Thanks.

  La Hora se desincronisa del Servidor NTP
Posted by: leonardo.mendez - 06-05-2020, 11:04 AM - Forum: Spanish [Spanish] - No Replies

Saludos a todos los Usuarios de Linux Lite me he topado hoy con esta problema el cual se soluciona de una manera muy sencilla es que el Servidor NTP de la Internet no se sincroniza con nuestro Sistema Linux Lite provocando que no se puedan abrir las paginas Web en nuestro Navegador.

Se procede de la siguiente manera vas a Menu-Configuracion-Date and Time-Cambias la Opcion a Manual colocas la fecha y horas y cierras.

Luego abres una Terminal con las teclas CTRL-ALT-T y colocas en la misma este comando sudo hwclock -w

Problema resuelto

  ssh & rsync failed due to custom .bashrc
Posted by: Udayendu Kar - 06-05-2020, 07:52 AM - Forum: Security & Bug Fixes - Replies (4)

[x] rsync failed with the following error:

    ---
    stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device
    protocol version mismatch -- is your shell clean?
    (see the rsync man page for an explanation)
    rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at /home/lapo/package/rsync-3.0.9-1/src/rsync-3.0.9/compat.c(174) [Receiver=3.0.9]
    ---

[x] If doing scp the its showing "Welcome to Linux Lite 5.0 ${USER}" but unable to copy the file. So both send and receive are not working using normal user.

This is happening as we have those echo lined in .bashrc. After removing those .bashrc, its working well. Can we findout an alternative to handle those entries in .bashrc ?
