I have a problem with Panel being not completely compatible with the Theme.



I know the the look of the Dropbox icon is caused by some issue with the background gamma properties of the icon. Maybe the sound control has the same problem.

I sure hope so......it will sure make install on a newer machine easier.

Anyone know?

Thanks!

Hello all.
Several times lately when I log on I get a screen with the title lightdm-webkit-greeter.
There doesn't seem to be any way to click out of it, there is no X on the top right or maybe its off the screen but I cant see an X. I have to restart to get rid of it.
Is there a way to disable this page or is it some kind of error ? Thanks ahead of time.

[size=1em]My desktop machine has been slowing down lately and having just checked  \ partition. where LL 2.2 is installed and find that it using 99% of a 20Gb partition.[/size]

[size=1em]I have only a moderate amount of software installed i.e. Thunderbird, Chrome, LibreOffice, Gimp, Inkscape, Skype & VLC etc. so something must be astray as I have a similar setup on my laptop and that shows only 4Gb used. In each case the home directory is on a separate partition.[/size]

[size=1em]I have no idea how to check/list the content of the partitions on each machine in order to try and work out what is hogging the space on the desktop. Any help would be greatly appreciated [/size]

Ave !

this is my very first post ever, so please be patient if I'm still not very confident ... Special thanks goes to N4RPS notes !
I am no expert on Linux but I hope this may be of some help to other LL mates with the same issues ;-) .

Requirement : ( see subject )

- Distro : Linux Lite 2.4 x64
- Kernel : Linux 4.1.0-040100-generic
- BT Port : USB Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle - ROCKETEK Bluetooth 4.0
- BT Speaker : EASYACC-MC

STEP A:

        Open a Terminal session (CRTL+ALT+T) and do the following :

EDIT the audio.conf file

$ sudo leafpad /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf  (root password)

edit/add the below area in the configuration file as follows:

[General]
Enable = Source,Sink,Headset,Gateway,Control,Media
#Disable = Socket ( REMARK ANY ACTION ON "SOCKET" EVERYWHERE )
HFP=false ( DISABLES HFP )
[A2DP]
SBCSources=1
MPEG12Sources=0

SAVE and close file

STEP B

$ pacmd list-sources >Output.txt (enter)

Search in output for a reference to your BT devicer and copy (ctrl+c) the "device.string"  parameter (port ?).

properties:
device.description = "Monitor of EasyAcc-MC"                            <== This is my BT Speaker
device.class = "monitor"
device.string = "5C:5A:5A:A6:03:CB"                                                  <== Copy what you get here
device.api = "bluez"
device.bus = "bluetooth"
device.form_factor = "headset"
bluez.path = "/org/bluez/1289/hci0/dev_5C_5A_5A_A6_03_CB"
bluez.class = "0x240404"
bluez.name = "EasyAcc-MC"
device.icon_name = "audio-headset-bluetooth"
device.intended_roles = "phone"

STEP C

I then purged BLUEMAN and reinstall it. Sound silly, but this probably fixed some missing dependencies (need to ask someone who knows better)

$ sudo apt-get purge blueman (root password)
$ sudo apt-get install blueman (root password)

STEP D

Then edit the ALSA configuration file :

$ sudo leafpad /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf (+root password)

Add the following to the end of the configuration file :

================ ADDED below to END of alsa.conf file ============
pcm.btheadset {
  type plug
  slave {
      pcm {
          type bluetooth
          device 5C:5A:5A:A6:03:CB                                                  <=== REPLACE WITH ADDRESS YOU COPIED/DISCOVERD
          profile "auto"
      }
  }
  hint {
      show on
      description "BT Headset"
  }
}
ctl.btheadset {
  type bluetooth
}
================ ADDED above to END of alsa.conf file ============

Save file and close.

STEP E :

Activate your blueman interface and re-pair EASYACC-MC SPEAKER device with USB BT dongle.
        Be careful to select Audio Profile / High Fidelity Playback (A2DP) ... it may take a sec or 2 to sync.

Playing music with Audacious, audio is crystal perfect !
This works after re boot too ... for now ;-)
       
NOTES :

        Now I have to discover if its possible to get more devices (aka BT KIVIO Headset) running at the same time on same dongle.

        The headset work fine in exclusive mode (BR speaker excluded). 

Ad majora !

With Mac I used Super Duper to create a bootable clone, which worked great. Simple and effective.

Is there something comparable in Linux? I looked at Clonezilla but found it to be confusing and not super intuitive.

Thanks!

And what goodies can we expect?

Running Lite 32 bit updated on my old Toshiba laptop. Runs good and quick.

I installed dropbox from synaptic. Never have gotten an icon to show up in the tray. Now lately every time that I boot after about 30 or 45 seconds I have to enter my password so that dropbox can run.  In other computers I have always right clicked the tray icon and got to the settings.How do I get to the settings to tell it to remember my password?

Thanks

Cannot get cryptkeeper to work. There is no startup icon .... no key nor blank page.

I have been using this program for some time in Netrunner and Zorin 7 lite with no problems. But it doesn't start (with an icon) in Linux Lite 2.4

Just installed Linux Lite yesterday with no issues.
