| Installing LL 3.2 |

Hello,
I am trying to install LL3.2 on a computer, the live dvd spins up and I see the menu, as it moves on from this, the screen goes black and the monitor power light turns off, as if the monitor cable has been removed.
I know the cable works as its usually used on another computer, and I know the cable connection and graphics work as I edited the bios and it is graphical interface, with various konky type aspects running.
I hear the Linux Lite start up music just cannot see on the screen, so cannot progress any further at this stage.
The bios is Asus version 2.17.1246, the motherboard is Asus H110M-R. The graphics are Intel integrated 510HD.
The bios settings I altered were -
1/ change to boot from dvd.
2/ chose other OS, instead of windows uefi default. (the computer does not have windows installed, its for Linux)

| Lost Default Archive Manager |
|

When I select multipe files and select "Create Archive" I now get a message saying
Failed to create archive
no suitable archive manager found
This had worked perfectly well approx 3 weeks ago
Upon further investigation the Archive Manager is no longer showing up in any menu via the main menu.
I installed File Roller via the the install/remove software menu and whilst I now have a File Manager of sorts I still get the same "Failed to create archive" message when using the right click method described earlier. As this was always my prefered method of creating zip files can anyone advise me how to restore the default linux lite archive manager settings please

| Micro:bit set up |

Hello,
I have been trying to set up for the Micro:bit at home on LL.
I am not sure where I am going wrong, I haven't done the set up before.
I add
Code: sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:team-gcc-arm-embedded
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:pmiller-opensource/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cmake ninja-build gcc-arm-none-eabi srecord libssl-dev
pip3 install yotta
Taken from here
There are some errors including the ppa is producing a 404 error and not installing.
Also after this when trying regular LL updates it gives an error gui and the updates system for LL no longer worked, until I removed all of it, then it worked correctly. So there is something wrong with the above method that has adverse effects.
Next I tried to install Mu
and as per the link I entered in terminal
to make the bin executable, it didn't make it executable, and would not start, although mouse over says executable file.
Later I downloaded again and made the bin executable by right clicking and using the menu, the same result, says executable but doesn't.
On the Mu website
it also says to ensure membership of the dialout group, would this be automatic as I am the only user of the computer, or do I also need to learn how to do this ?

| How to remove PPA's , or stop them updating |
|
Posted by: bitsnpcs - 01-30-2017, 05:38 AM - Forum: Tutorials

Hello,
Use Menu>All>Install Drivers>Other Software tab, follow from there on the below lists.
Alternatively if you had been experimenting a lot 8) , or wanted practice in the terminal (like I did) -
type or copy/paste
Code: software-properties-gtk
this will open a gui for you. (the one available in the menu for installing drivers)
To Remove an offending PPA
1/ click the tab named "Other Software"
2/ scroll down until you find the offending PPA
3/ click on its name, so it becomes highlighted
4/ click remove
5/ click close
6/ enter your password when prompted
This will remove the PPA.
To prevent a PPA Updating
(for whatever purposes, or security reasoning)
1/ click the tab named "Other Software"
2/ scroll down until you find the offending PPA, click on the tick, to remove it, next to the PPA you want
to prevent updating
3/ click close
4/ enter your password when prompted
The sources will update/rebuild.
Notes
Do not remove or untick Linux Lite, anything you are unsure about, or anything you do not wish to stop updating, otherwise you will not receive useful, or required updates.
If the PPA name is not remembered , as they can seem unrelated to the software, you can search those in the list using a search engine to discover which is the correct one.
If having difficulty determining from a search another option is to post a screenshot of the gui, along with the name of the PPA contents (eg software name), that you want to remove and the community may know which one it is.
Tested today in Linux Lite 3.2, checked for updates, no problems, rebooted checked again for updates no problems.
Hope you find it useful

| Linux Lite Grub Repair Messes Up Entries |

I've been testing out both Linux Mint and Linux Lite out. I have 4 different Mints (xfce, kde, cinnamon, and mate) Then Linux Lite was installed last. But one day I was doing some full updates on my Linux Mint Xfce and it took over the Grub. I tried this to fix it: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/sugge.../#msg13969 It at least got things working "good enough" to use the machine. Today I decided to update all of the OSes. And I knew they would take over the Grub. I thought it was interesting that when Mint xfce took over the entries were fixed. But once I turned it back over to the Linux Lite, all the entries got messed up again.
I'm not reporting the fact that Linux Lite grub has been altered:
"Jerry:
This is not a bug, so please don't report it as such. Grub is deliberately altered so that folks who dual boot with Windows will recognise Linux Lite in the Grub menu. This has been explained already. Cheers."
Link: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/sugge...rk/5/?wap2
I'm reporting that the way I found to fix this problem: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/sugge.../#msg13969 Made a mess of the Grub entries, and simply running sudo update-grub doesn't fix it. Here is what my current grub menu looks like. It especially messed up my Linux Mint 18 xfce Install on sda1. It doesn't seem to start up with Systemd anymore, and it displays a bunch of start up text. Which the start up text is ok for me, but I know this is not the way the distro is intended to do. Also I think there might be some other problems as a result as well. *If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix it please let me know.
Here is what my Grub currently looks like:

| Make all apps obey Style chosen in "Appearance"? |

My wife chose the "Clearlooks" style and the Faenza icon theme from the Appearance app.
However, certain apps, including not only downloaded ones such as Google Chrome and Evolution, but even built-in apps such as VLC, don't have the window widgets, scrollbars, etc look the Clearlooks style calls for.
How can I ensure a consistent look across all apps in the system?
