  LL4 a decent release
Posted by: Dookus - 08-28-2018, 01:32 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (5)

Have been using LL since v1 and this release is quick, Win 7 or 10 on !5 Dell E4310 which I have 7 of arte both woeful, have only had the machine thrash once with LL4 where both 7 and 10 thrash for extended periods on a regular basis and leave the system un-usable, I'd hope one day that TV card support grows and I could dump Media Centre for Kodi, which was not good on Win10 forcing me back out and re-image 7 on my Media Machine

I have recently set up some nice tools for getting US stocks and crypto-currency prices in a terminal display window in LL. I've written an easy to follow tutorial for installing the tools. You can find it online at the link below.

  Esata/IDE dock with other USB/Card readers unable to use LL4
Posted by: Dookus - 08-27-2018, 08:25 AM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (14)

Have 2 of these.


https://www.ebay.com.au/p/SATA-IDE-HDD-U...717&chn=ps


Works in Windows 7 & 10.


Whether connected via Esata or USB the entry in thunar for the drive has a spiney thing appear next to it but never loads the contents of a 3.63gb (in real terms) sata drive (WD Green WD40EZRX)


Have updated iscsi and the result is the same.


Cheers.

  Things To Do After Installing LinuxLite
Posted by: MohamedKhaled - 08-25-2018, 04:41 AM - Forum: Tutorials - Replies (8)

--#You can just skip to the first comment to reach the tutorial

Quote:Read This Its Important :
Everything in this tutorial is tested and my approach here is safety first I will tell you if there is any tweak or harm in the tutorial although generally its all safe try to read slowly and take a breath every now and then,
completing this tutorial will make your os both  faster and will remove many hassles from you in days to come also remember to always ask others if you faced any problem, in general, you will save yourself some time and hassle lets fix the myth of Linus being a hard operating system
Before you start:
1- please reply if you found any mistakes
2- these settings are tailored for Linux Lite 4.x only using on other Xfce based OSes won't provide you with the full start and using on other DE (LXDE) will just cause errors. it may work on newer or older LL versions but for now, I only guarantee it to work in 4.x
3-Notes written in RED means that they aren't stable or can cause harm although others written in black are just fine and ones are written in Green means that they are user specific (old laptops only, modern PC only, etc )
So recently I installed Linux Lite 4.0 and then there was some stuff that I usually do when installing a new OS (installing updates installing a browser fixing a known bug or boosting performance etc) and usually I use this site which offers very good tutorials (https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxt...st-xubuntu) but then every Linux OS is different and that's why they made a tutorial on installing Xubuntu Ubuntu etc instead of creating just one .
then I thought like if there is no any such tutorial for Linux lite and I have just installed LL why not make a one myself I'm sure this will be useful for newcomers as that following the tutorial above will result in errors because it isn't tailored for our OS.
##A Little Notice: although I will write this tutorial in a form of steps feel free to skip any step if you don't want that or if it isn't for you (coloured green for example)

Q & A

Why did you say that this is only for Linux Lite isn't LL based on Ubuntu so it should work on Ubuntu and other Ubuntu-based OSes?
A: there's some truth in the last statement but still LL is a custom OS that has many differences, for example, the lite apps which we use a lot during the tutorial and also the location of many programs may differ from OS to another that's why the tutorial focuses on Linux lite only

I'm facing trouble keeping with your tutorial /I can't find the option that you have?
A: You should read carefully especially the words between the brackets "()" or you can always write a reply and I will try to reply to you and help

Why did you write this tutorial here and not in a blog etc?
A: I don't really care for the profit in such things, when I first started using Linux I was obligated to do so because my laptop was too old to handle windows and at that time all I needed was such tutorial, I'm sure that it will be useful for someone someday.

Where did you get that pictures from?
A: Pictures were captured from my desktop and uploaded to Flickr
