  Can Faenza icon-set be copied over from LL3.8 to 4.0?
Posted by: m654321 - 06-09-2018, 10:33 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

As the title of this thread asks, can I copy over the folder for the Faenza icon-set from LL3.8 to LL4.0?


Where in LL3.8's file system do I find this icon set? 
Also the arc theme - where is that stored in the file system?


Though the default icon set in LL4.0 looks cool, I really miss Faenza.
Is there any risk associated with continuing to use Faenza?


I'd appreciate any help or comments with this - thanks.

  Look @ Linux Lite 4.0 - Review & Critique
Posted by: valtam - 06-09-2018, 06:38 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (16)

Instead of posting what you might expect to be a positive review, I thought I'd add this video here. Unfortunately the reviewer is clueless as to our approach, and who this OS is for.

- 'Why we need links to Thunar at 3 different points, I have no idea' Correct sir, you have no idea. 'Why have a Trash icon' this one nearly made me spit out my coffee at the time. XFCE by default, provides the option for a Trash icon.

- 'Settings is referred to as Control panel, that's a little odd' not if your target audience are Windows users, just another example of a reviewer doing little to no research on the topic, before addressing the topic.

That's just the first 3 minutes, the train wreck of misinformation and presumption without fact continues on for just under 30 mins. For a channel that has taken 6 years to attract a meager 1k subscribers, is safe to say he's not lighting up the 'Nix' world with fantastic content.

One of the comments by the reviewer - 'It looks as if the Lite devs are trying to compete with MX...' We don't compete with other distributions, we target Windows users.

I for one, welcome alternative reviews, so long as those reviews are done with an understanding of the OS's approach to layout and options.

At this point I'd usually say, 'Enjoy the video' but, yeh, well.

  Some Geometric Wallpaper I've designed
Posted by: whateverthing - 06-08-2018, 08:00 PM - Forum: Wallpapers - Replies (10)

Hi Folks -- I went through a lot of wallpaper design ideas for the release of LL 4.0. Some of my favorites didn't make the cut. So I thought I'd share some here.

  Is it possible to roll back a LL update?
Posted by: BlueFox - 06-08-2018, 05:41 PM - Forum: Other - No Replies

Is it possible to roll back an  update?

I never got this issue resolved so any help would be appreciated.
btw Happy Thanksgiving Smile


After update get an error message " out of scan range 38.46 KHZ / 36 HZ "
The monitor must not have the correct resolution. The problem is I can't find a way to change the settings because all you can see is  just a black screen with the error message.

Tried a different monitor without success.

Your help is greatly appreciated

I tried this https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/hardw...ml#booting

Still having the same problem

Only works with the live CD  Sad

  Can I install 2 copies of LL4.0, with grubscreen recognising & listing these?
Posted by: m654321 - 06-08-2018, 03:30 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (6)

I was thinking of installing two copies of LL4.0 on the same drive, but am unsure if grub will recognise and list both of these.
The purpose for two installs is as follows:

(1) One LL4.0 install for experimentation: e.g. test out English Bob's ideas for modifying LL4.0, as described at https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/tutor...ard-users/ 

If it breaks, while trying things out, it doesn't matter as it's not my main driver. Yes, while I could use a virtual machine for experimentation, I'm not too keen on this as I've found that VMs don't behave in exactly the same way as normal installs, e.g. video drivers are different, etc.

(2) The other LL4.0 install as my main driver: for all my day-to-day tasks & work



However, will grub recognise two separate installs of LL4.0 and list these on the grubscreen on booting? I suspect it may only list one of them. Is there a way around this?

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

  installing on a usb drive
Posted by: Crazy Larry - 06-08-2018, 10:46 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)

A quick question.....installing LL on a usb drive....on the option to use the entire disk...If I choose this, will it just erase the usb drive?  I don't want to wipe out my hard drive....I don't know how to use Something Else and make partitions...LL is already on the usb drive and I'm trying to install it on the usb so I can get the updates.

No problems at all with the Install.

The only option is to shutdown from the Terminal

  Trim on NTFS and ext4
Posted by: T1125P - 06-07-2018, 08:07 PM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (2)

Hi all, I want to know if trim is indeed working on my NTFS hard drive in Linux Lite 3.8?
I have 2 SSD's in my laptop one is the main one with LL 3.8 the other is another one thats NTFS.
I ran the command fstrim --all -v and this is the output:



root@Dell-E6330:~# fstrim --all -v
/mnt/84786FC9786FB896: 16 EiB (18446744073709551615 bytes) trimmed
/: 207.7 GiB (222991659008 bytes) trimmed




where is says /mnt/ I'm not sure but it looks like that would be my NTFS drive and the one below that shows 207.7 would be my main LL drive thats ext4. Because it shows 2 entries that are trimmed.

I just came across NTFS-3G which was installed when I checked install/remove software. I also read that it does support Trim with NTFS.



Thanks

  Virtualbox Guest Shared Folders
Posted by: sobermadman - 06-07-2018, 02:46 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (10)

I'm re-posting this since initially I posted this query in the Tutorial section by accident, which was dumb because it's not where it belongs Smile

This concerns Linux Lite 4 as a Guest in VirtualBox. The installation went flawlessly. Just as in Linux Lite 3.8, the guest-dkms, utils and X11 are already there, the screen resolution gives me full screen, everything, just as in 3.8, seems ready out of the box.

So in 3.8 there was no need to install the guest additions from the CD; following OS installation, the shared folders were listed in the file manager, and after adding myself to the vboxsf group and rebooting, I was able to access them

Not so in 4.0 . Everything seems to be just as it is in 3.8, so I added myself to the vboxsf group again. But my shared folders don't turn up, there's no entry in the file manager, nor in /media, and I have no idea what went wrong. I even installed the guest additions from CD which promptly messed up everything, so I reinstalled 4.0, but am facing the same shared folder problem.

I'd be grateful if someone could shed light on this and possibly indicate a solution of the problem :-)
