  Hello, New Linux Lite User Here :)
Posted by: Dito Kurnia Pratama - 03-04-2019, 10:51 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (6)

Hello, my name is Dito from Indonesia. I'm move from Lubuntu 18.04 LTS to Linux Lite on March 2nd. Before I'm using Lubuntu, Im using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS than upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

I like this distro,I like the synaptic package manager is install in default. The UI is modern but still lightweight. I like the Lite Software in the setting panel, it is convenient.

Unfortunately, there is no Indonesian Source Mirror, not like Ubuntu. But I can use the Vietnam Mirror, and it is still fast. But, I have one little dissappointed, I experienced little problem when trying live iso and still see the problem after installing Linux Lite. I will make other post about that problem (or searching the forum, then make a new post).

Thank you for reading my little story. Have a nice day :-)

  I need help with samba
Posted by: Phobos84 - 03-02-2019, 11:27 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (15)

Hello,

I really need some help.  For whatever reason I struggle with samba every time I have to do anything with it.  This time though I am totally lost.  So I had an old P4 PC with an older version of Linux Lite that was set up as a media server.  After about 40 hours of messing with samba I got it to be visible and accessible by any computer on my network.  All was well until I upgraded to a new computer and installed the new version of Lite.  I can't get the network to work at all.  It can be seen by other computers but not accessed.  I have two hard drives in the computer.  On has the operating system and the other has the files I need to share on the network.  This is my smb.conf file

Code:
#======================= Global Settings ====================================
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Linux Lite Shares
netbios name = Server
security = user
encrypt passwords = true
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
map to guest = bad user
guest account = nobody
dns proxy = no
#======================= Share Definitions ===================================
[Server]
path = /media/chad2/backup/shares
available = yes
valid users = %U %G
write list = %U
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
printable = yes
locking = no
strict locking = no

I'm clueless, any ideas?

  Firewall (Gufw) settings
Posted by: Yoru3 - 03-01-2019, 12:25 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

Previously I've had no problem installing and using miniDLNA on my local network, when I was using an old 32 bit notebook machine, several LL versions ago.
However, I've now tried to make miniDLNA a server on my main 64bit LL 4.2 machine, and I'm having problems.
I installed it from Synaptics, and it appears to be running as a server.

Code:
sudo service --status-all
I've also got sqlite3 installed, and after the /etc/minidlna.conf configuration has done the usual
Code:
sudo service minidlna restart
Code:
sudo service minidlna force-reload
Which has created the database, where I told it to, although the log does list some warning. Which I might need to get back to.
However, my client/controller machine (notepad) cannot see the server, and only sees the renderers.
Finally I realised that this is probably due to the server firewall, which is now by default set to ON.
In order to allow miniDLNA to work, I believe I have to open the TCP port 8200, and the UDP port 1900.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a tutorial on the firewall yet (hint)

So, can anyone help on exactly how to open those port up, and ideally only to the local network.
Many thanks in advance.

  Linux Lite OS 3.8 update help
Posted by: PsaCrypt - 03-01-2019, 11:16 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (8)

Hello to all members,

I'm using Linux Lite OS 3.8 loading .Iso DVD image from hard disk (Live-HD mode).  Because Ubuntu features I updated all my system, with the exception of booting kernel, wich remains at 16.04.4 release.  Loading .Iso image from hard disk boots original Lite 3.8 kernel into readonly file system (/cdrom).

I want to know how I can update vmlinuz and initrd.gz files, doing commands into a separate folder to get these files updated to 16.04.6 kernel release.  I suppossed task is related to update-initramfs command.

Anyone can help me?

Thank you in advance.  ;-)

  suddenly asking for login on startup and not accepting root password
Posted by: kris84 - 03-01-2019, 01:33 AM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (7)

I have been using Linuxlite for a few years now and am currently using 4.0. I installed it last fall and haven't had any issues with it. Until today. This morning I shut down my computer normally, but when I turned it back on this evening, it asked me to login on startup; I had it set to log me in automatically, so I thought this was weird. But then it wouldn't accept my password. I made sure caps and numlock weren't on but it still won't let me in. I haven't done anything unusual lately or noticed any strange behavior until this happened. Can someone tell me what is going on? Have I been hacked? What can I do to get back into my computer?
