  Forum Profile Fields - CPU, RAM, GPU
Posted by: valtam - 04-15-2015, 12:44 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (19)

We now have 3 new profile fields for people to display, CPU, RAM, and GPU. These 3 were chosen because most issues involve these pieces of hardware. We also have to limit the list so that peoples profiles don't take up a whole page when posting Smile

[Image: WaX5qNe.png]

These can be found in: Profile, Forum Profile (scroll to bottom)

Please keep your info as concise as possible. If you have multiple computers, please list your main computer.

To get your system info, open a terminal and do:

Code:
inxi -b

Thanks to avj for the suggestion Smile

I encourage all members to display these details Smile

  MSN website issue/can't scroll through pics
Posted by: Monkeyman - 04-15-2015, 01:52 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)

I "THINK" this is a web problem only as I have the same issue on both my LL 2.4 desktop AND my Win7 laptop so I posted in Other but thought I'd see if anyone else had the same issue and/or if there's a fix.

When I'm on a web page where I have to scroll through different pics, I seem to get the same text for all (the text that goes with the first pic) and, after 5 or 6 pics, I can't scroll through any more pics.

Hard to describe but here are a couple examples.
http://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/fo...ss-AAaWM6B

As I scroll through the 6 pics of gross jelly bean flavors, each new pic should have text describing that flavor.  Even while viewing pic 2, 3, 4, etc, the only text I see is the first one.  Starting with pic 5, it won't scroll anymore.

http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/autos-tru...ss-AAaXnm0
I get the same thing here (and with ANY page that has similar "scrolling").  (Not sure why there's a GMC in the "Mopar Truck Gallery".)  At pic #5, I get a black (blank) screen (in the slideshow, NOT the entire screen) and can't seem to scroll past that.  In addition, the pic numbers ("1 of 53", etc) never change.

I've emptied my internet cache, deleted cookies, rebooted both Firefox and the computer(s).  Not sure what's causing this nor what to do to fix it if there is even a fix.  MSN is run by MicroSloth so I doubt they'll do anything if the problem is on their end (which it must be since I'm having the same issue with both this LL desktop and my Win7 laptop).  I HAVE reported it to them just in case there's someone breathing at their support site.

  Using USB stick like extra memory
Posted by: ohjrson - 04-13-2015, 07:52 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

Ok Peeps,
I know that this is a feature that windows has where you can insert a USB stick and it will ask you if you want to use it to speed up your computer or if you want to import pics etc... I am wondering if Beryl (Linux Lite) can do that too.


Reason I am asking is that I have this Dell Optiplex that only has 1 gig of memory installed and it is sorta slow, Yes I know I can put in an additional 7 gigs of memory and it would fly then, but I cannot afford that and was wondering if there is a way to increase that or whatever. Any additional suggestions would be great. Thanks.


Comp specs- Optiplex 755 Dual processors @ 2.0 Gig with 972 mb of mem available after display usage.

  Search and ye shall find, I hope,
Posted by: Golffinn - 04-13-2015, 07:28 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (6)

This is my first post. I have only recently been introduced to Linux and have a lot to learn. Being a silver surfer also means I am sometimes slow on the uptake but that is another story
I have a meeting to attend tonight and I need to find a number of documents that contain similar themes. For instance say I have a hundred poems and 9 of them contain the word "dream". How can I out sort those 9 documents.

It is a forlorn hope that this will be read and answered prior to the meeting but I have nothing to lose. :-[

  Mapping a drive across VPN
Posted by: Spillen - 04-12-2015, 01:10 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (3)

Hi
I am after help with mapping a drive at a university please.  VPN connection has been established however the instructions to map the drive are for Windows, using 'NET USE' command.

The instructions that we have been given are:

Access to SHFC Department Folders (The N Drive)
1. Press the windows start button (located bottom left).
2. Select the Run command, a dialogue box will open entitled “Run”.
3. Type the following :
NET USE N: \\nfc456gh\squid$
4. Press the enter button.
5. A window will open asking for your username (use the username and
password you use for accessing email or outweb), type the following:
Enterprise\your username
Example : enter\addv606
6. You will now be prompted for a password; enter your current password.
7. The N Drive will now be mapped.
domain = aavpn.london.ac.uk

The terminal command I have been messing about with, based on these instructions is:
sudo mount.cifs //aavpn.london.ac.uk/nfc456ghi/squid$ ~/drive-N -o username=enter\addv606,password=orange

The error I get is:
mount error(115):  Operation now in progress. Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

What on gods earth am I doing wrong.  Help will be hugely appreciated.

  Windows Key (Super) and Whiskermenu in LL 2.4
Posted by: Kirkx - 04-12-2015, 09:20 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (7)

There is a new feature in LL 2.4: Whiskermenu pops up when you hit the left Windows key (Super key). It can not be turned off neither from Keyboard nor from Window Manager settings and to get rid of it you need to dig deep into Xfce configuration files, as described in this thread:

https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/insta...p/msg13735

Personally, I find this new feature rather annoying. If anyone wants to start the Whiskermenu with the Super key alone then it can be easily done using the standard Keyboard settings with the command:

Code:
xfce4-popup-whiskermenu

I always assign Ctrl+Esc to start the Whiskermenu, that's how it worked with Start menu in Windows XP. Here is a sample of my hotkeys that use the left Super key:

Super+I gimp
Super+L xscreensaver-command -lock
Super+U alacarte
Super+P synaptic-pkexec
