  Linux Lite In Windows 10 Bash
Posted by: trinidad - 09-17-2016, 07:09 PM - Forum: Screenshots - No Replies

Just the link. 7 screen shots of LL in bash on Windows 10 via Remmina and RDP. Hacked LXDE. Still working on it. Note the images with four tool bars, top Remmina, next Linux Lite on bash, next Windows 10 HE, and bottom Linux Lite on home desktop. All the applications pictured work well with RDP, actually better than on Windows 10 desktop.

  Wifi Dongle Drivers
Posted by: ye-ma - 09-16-2016, 07:26 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (8)

Hi everyone,

I know there are loads of threads on this but I can never seem to be able to find a proper answer. I have a Wifi adapter that isn't recognized by the system, going to the driver manager shows an unknown piece of hardware (which I believe is a red herring, a random motherboard driver that does nothing for the Wifi problem). It came with a CD-ROM with a driver on it but I haven't a clue what terminal commands are used to install it. The output for the lsusb command is;

Code:
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0bda:0156 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Mass Storage Device
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 279e:024e 
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0e8d:7610 MediaTek Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd be really grateful, this has been driving me up the wall for a couple of days now.

  Pruning LL3.0 32 bit for older hardware
Posted by: newtusmaximus - 09-16-2016, 03:23 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (5)

I have two Fuji Siemens laptops  ( see sig below), each with 2GB RAM and dual core Intel processors and built in wifi.  These have been running upgrades of LL since V1.6 32bit. They have been speedy  and had "new" life breathed into them. Not dual boot; full LL install only.

However since upgrading to LL3.0 - standard kernel, I have note that response times on both the machines etc have been slower.  My concern is, as LL develops,  it will be less compatible with older machines.  The latter still having considerable life left in them.

The question therefore is what, if anything, can be pruned from LL  to to overcome these potential problems. 
The laptops are used for business, browsing, emails, multimedia etc.  Not gaming.  So Office, browser, Thunderbird, SKYPE etc are needed.

As an aside, my Toshiba Sat Pro A10 with 1GB  RAM  had to be downgraded to Kernel 3.16 when I upgraded to LL3.0  32bit, and even now struggles. It appears that  LL2.8 was about the tipping point for that machine.

Thoughts welcomed. Thanks.  Happy to experiment but as still a newbie as far as linux ( under the bonnet) is concerned.

  No position option for dual monitors
Posted by: mdodds - 09-16-2016, 03:10 PM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (2)

Hi,
I have about 6 machines running Linux Lite 3.0, all running perfectly, so I decided last night to change my "main" desktop over, since I had upgraded the Kubuntu install on it to 16.04 and I didn't like the latest KDE  ;D
This computer is a dual monitor setup with Intel onboard video, 1 18"VGA on the left, 1 HDMI 19" on the right.
What I want to achieve is the monitor on the right to be primary with the start menu etc. on it and extend the desktop to the left, so that a window opened on the right monitor can be dragged to the left onto the left monitor. Right now, the left monitor has the start menu etc. on it and it refuses to move. I noticed in the dual monitor section of the manual, there is a "position" option in the screenshot. However, my display option doesn't have that, it has a drag and drop positioning tool and a tick box for Primary display instead.
I have the monitors correctly positioned (19" on the right, 18" on the left) but for some reason checking and unchecking the Primary display and applying has no affect on either monitor. The main screen stays stuck on the left. It worked in KDE, so I know it's possible, I feel like I'm just not seeing something.

TIA,
Mike

  Not able to get onto the Web...
Posted by: glin22 - 09-16-2016, 01:10 AM - Forum: Network - Replies (7)

Hi,

I have a friend who's got a Windows box and have been trying to get him off of that. I installed 32 bit LL2.8 on a different drive from his Windows install but he's not able to get onto the Web using Linux. He tells me it shows a connect is happening but when he does a search or tries to access a website in Firefox, nothing comes up. Linux works fine, it is just he cannot use the web or do a search.

The other thing is that he's on a DSL connection and it's been a while since I dealt with that, I am not sure what I should be telling him to check out. Shouldn't my friend be able to get onto the Web since DSL is always active ? I forgot if there is some kind of special script that needs to be done.

I know this is not the best explanation of his problem but if you have any suggestions of what to check out/look for, that would be most helpful.

Thanks,

glin22

  LL desktop for bash in Win 10
Posted by: trinidad - 09-15-2016, 08:00 PM - Forum: Linux Lite Software Development - Replies (5)

Jerry, and all,
Tried XFCE4 and Unity in bash with Xming external Xserver with unsatisfactory success. LXDE however runs decently. Bash is based on trusty, so what I would really like to do is produce a slimmed down LL branded desktop, I guess LL2.6, but with no network manager, no Libreoffice, no sound utilities, simple web browser not firefox, but not lynx either, etc. no mail client, but with a few familiar needed applications like leafpad or gedit, cherry tree, g-vim, synaptic, and Thunar or Double Commander, SSH and SSL can be handled seperately from the shell. As I said LXDE runs decently even with all the unneeded applications. Would love to see a lean mean LL desktop spin up in that bash shell on windows 10. Can I isolate the system calls in LL enough to get this done? Suggestions?

Good news on the Adobe front. For those who use it, Firefox has already updated and Chrome follows.
