  Re: Linux Lite 3.0 Final Released (Help Manual)
Posted by: torreydale - 06-21-2016, 05:35 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)

Help Manual > Install > Enabling TRIM on your SSD:

In the section instructing the user to edit /etc/rc.local, we see 3 instances where "fstrim -v" is added to the file, but there are 4 instances where "noatime," was added to /etc/fstab.  The number of these edits matched in the 2.8 Help Manual, but they don't here in the 3.0 manual. 

I noticed this when following the instructions to TRIM my first SSD over the weekend.

  Re: LL 3.0 - A Libre Office and NAS problem
Posted by: Richard B - 06-21-2016, 12:18 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

Hi Gerry and co. An old NAS (network attached storage) problem has come back. It probably occurs also if trying to access a "Windows share". Attempting to open ".odt" files on NAS causes LO Writer to appear momentarily then vanish. This is a reversion to behaviour in 2.0. Problem vanishes on installing libreoffice-gnome from System / Install/remove software

(I have made a bug report.)

  intermediate Linux into
Posted by: aus9 - 06-21-2016, 04:24 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (1)

Hi

I regard myself as an intermediate Linux user with no programming language skills and umm no plans to learn such.

However, I can and have some skills and plan on helping in the forums from time to time.

so far I like this distro as its fast to boot and a decent array of software that should have most people happy.

Rather than mention in any feedback area....it was trivial for me to add some of my fav software including
mc = terminal file manager
mirage = image viewer mainly for slideshows and easy magnification
mtpaint = smaller than gimp image edit tool, mainly to convert image formats and crop etc.

and youtube-dl needs a few terminal commands = a terminal command tool to download youtube movies and convert most into a a format for later playback if you can't afford to watch as streaming as you want to watch it more than once and have bad internet speeds......like mine is only 4 Mbps  or roughly 400 kilobytes per sec
https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html

I also noticed that vlc was already capable of youtube streaming.

cheers and thanks for reading

  [FEEDBACK] 3.0 64 bit HD install localuser is not yet a member of users?
Posted by: aus9 - 06-21-2016, 01:17 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - No Replies

Hi

Forgive me if I have it all wrong as I have been wrong in the past.

When I turn on more colums in the file manager I can see at my home folder that I have a group =localusername  eg gordon

but I am used to seeing me as a part of users.

so running 

Quote: lite-usermanager
I have added myself to users group.

2) I need this as I use a non-standard data partition that I need to access as
Quote:/etc/fstab
  does not accept localuser-name as an option but does accept
user (root) or users (group that local user can belong to)

cheers

  3.0 64 bit lite-tweaks --- not relevant my mistake
Posted by: aus9 - 06-21-2016, 01:02 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (1)

Hi

clean install no updates no software removed then I run as root  and gui opens OK

Code:
root@asus:/home/gordon# lite-tweaks
find: warning: you have specified the -maxdepth option after a non-option argument -type, but options are not positional
(-maxdepth affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it).  Please specify options before other arguments.

cat: '/root/.config/xfce4/panel/whiskermenu-*.rc': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access '/root/.local/share/Trash/files/': No such file or directory
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

looking at possible answers I get
Code:
find / -name whisker*
/home/gordon/.config/xfce4/panel/whiskermenu-1.rc
/var/lib/dpkg/info/whiskermenu.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/whiskermenu.md5sums
/usr/share/xfce4/panel/plugins/whiskermenu.desktop
/etc/skel/.config/xfce4/panel/whiskermenu-1.rc
find: ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied

IMHO looks trivial to fix the skel or root rc file

the max depth lines appear to be these
Code:
cat /usr/bin/lite-tweaks | grep maxdepth
if [ "$(find /var/cache/apt/archives/ -maxdepth 1 -size +100k)" ];  then
if [ "$(find /var/log -type f \( -iname \*.gz -o -iname \*.0 -o -iname \*.1 \) -maxdepth 100 -size +1k)" ];  then

Not that I am a coder so feel free to ignore my feedback

  [FEEDBACK] 3.0 64 bit lite-welcome python error for next release fix
Posted by: aus9 - 06-21-2016, 12:50 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - No Replies

Hi

lite-welcome runs but if you run it from a terminal you can see an error at line 35 of script as follows

Code:
lite-welcome
/usr/bin/lite-welcome:35: PyGIWarning: WebKit was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('WebKit', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
  from gi.repository import WebKit, Gtk
Using /usr/share/litewelcome/ path.
gordon@asus:~$

I repeat the gui appears but on next release you may like to specify the python version?

cheers

  3.0 Problems & fixes
Posted by: Coastie - 06-20-2016, 08:25 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (6)

Went ahead and moved up from 2.8 installed 3.0. Glad it won't have to be done for another two years.  :Smile

1. Themes as posted at http://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/on-top.../#msg24260 Theme not working in KPatience but works in KMahjongg. May change to AisleRiot Solitaire because theme is working but do not like card styles and themes as well in KDE version.

2. Installed DMZ cursor (white) but size would not hold. Solved by going back to default cursor which had changed to white by theme choice. Sad

3. Radio Tray bug in Ubuntu 16.04 http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source...ug/1557115  Fixed by installing python-xdg with Synaptic.

4. Gnome-brave icons problem http://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/on-top...ns-in-3-0/

  Just going to use Log Out xfce4-session-logout with [Image: logout.png]

5. Filelight http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=9887 confusing Firefox. I like the pie charts. But when click on where a download went in Firefox open Filelight view of the folder where it download was located. I'll just use "DisplayDisk Usage" in Lite Tweaks.

I do not think any of these problems are Linux Lite 3.0 but Ubuntu 16.04 problems. Hopefully they will be fixed by Ubuntu.  :-\
