  New installation hangs
Posted by: Monkeyman - 08-13-2015, 08:42 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (7)

Trying to install 2.4 on a new SSD.  I'm getting through the actual installation but when it automatically reboots, it hangs up.  I get the screen with the feather and the progress bar.  The progress bar makes it all the way to the end then.....nothing.  I've tried a few times with the same result.  The last time, I took a shower and shaved while waiting and nothing had changed.  If you hit ANY key (not the "ANY" key), it reboots into nothingness (black screen).  I've d/l'ed it twice.  First time was a torrent and burned it at whatever speed it automatically burns.  The second time was the regular d/l burned at the slowest speed allowed (4x, I think).

Any thoughts?  I'd like to install this on my new SSD although it won't really hurt my feelings to wait a couple weeks and try installing 2.6.

  Taskbar icons
Posted by: bugfree - 08-13-2015, 12:38 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (4)

Hi,
Possible bug in LL2.6 beta.
1. Installed LL2.6 to a 32GB usb stick
2. Installed many programs.
3. Used Systemback to create a live usb image and converted it to an .iso image.
4. Moved and saved the image to my internal HDD.
5. Re-Booted and checked 32Gb install. Everything OK.
6. Used Systemback to create a live DVD, which finished correctly.
But
Both my original install to the 32Gb stick and the newly created live DVD are now missing
the icons for volume and Bluetooth. In their place is a section titled “no indicators”.
Also the network icon, which was originally positioned in the spot where the “no indicators” now appears, is now positioned between the keyboard and battery icons.

All my installed programs work fine and no other glitches have been found.
Has anyone experienced this bug and how do I get back my icons in place of the “no indicators”.

Also in the beta version, I noticed that when installing to the 32Gb stick, the first install info screen still refers to ver 2.4 and not 2.6. Only minor and probably easily fixed.

BTW, ver2.6 is fantastic.

  Cherrytree
Posted by: Wirezfree - 08-12-2015, 09:33 PM - Forum: Tutorials - Replies (11)

Looking for a great way to keep Notes, create simple e-books, keep code snippets or just about anything you need to type/paste/save/file..??


Try Cherrytree, been using it now for just over 18 months, a life saver for notes and with it's search feature,
just type your notes, and find all refs in the future. I've only scratched the surface of using it.


Install via Menu > System > Install/Remove Software search for Cherrytree (it is now kept at latest version)


and if you still use Windows, there's a version available also.
So keep the file in a shared location, and access it from LL & Windows

  Wine Worpad
Posted by: Colin23erk - 08-12-2015, 07:48 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (19)

Using  Terminal I get

Quote:colin@colin-NC110:~$ wine wordpad
fixme:ntdll:NtLockFile I/O completion on lock not implemented yet
colin@colin-NC110:~$


Word Pad eventually opens OK but ---Will this cause any problems later eg Printing and Saving .


Is using the Terminal the only way to open Wine Wordpad - there is NotePad in the  > wine  > Programs > Accessories > Notepad but not Wordpad

  Can I access my Windows XP desktop with both OS installed?
Posted by: rabar51 - 08-12-2015, 02:45 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (6)

I recently installed Linux Lite (dual boot).  I can access the Windows XP document folder but am wondering how to access the other original Windows desktop of the dual boot?  My printer won't work with Linux but am wondering if using the old XP (Windows) desktop I would be able to print as usual?

  Old User Accounts Deleted
Posted by: Neo - 08-11-2015, 10:08 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (1)

Hello,

Just over a year ago, I installed Linux Lite and started using the forum regularly.

I contributed to many threads, including this one.

Since then I have not been as active but I have sometimes came back to check on things (not logging in as much).

However, now my account and many of the other early accounts have been deleted and we have become guests, so we can no longer reply to anything with authenticity.

Personally, I don't think it is fair to keep our posts and delete our accounts without any obvious warning.

There was still reputation associated with the accounts and an opportunity to communicate, or at least acknowledge the original posters of the content as equals.

If there is an automatic expiration of accounts after a certain time period due to server limitations then the posts should not be kept either.

Honestly, I don't think it is reasonable to have to sign up again while old posts still exist that aren't linked to the accounts.

Furthermore, it discourages users from creating accounts again to help contribute as the process is tedious and any accreditation of the contribution can expire anyway.

  Beats Audio
Posted by: OldGuy - 08-11-2015, 07:28 PM - Forum: Off Topic - No Replies

If you have an HP laptop with Beats Audio - it takes some tweaking to make it work in Linux.  I finally sat down and Google'd the various fixes and found the simplest.  You need hda-jack-retask which is part of the alsa-tools-gui.  Once loaded, run the program and make the following edits:

codec: IDT 92HD91BXX

under options check "Show unconnected pins"

pin ID: 0x0d, override and choose "Internal speaker"
pin ID: 0x0f, override and choose "Internal speaker"
pin ID: 0x10, override and choose "Internal speaker LFE"


Then click the "Apply now" button and then the "Install boot override" button

That's it.  It works great on my DV6-7245us laptop, might work on yours as well...
