  Update Notification with Synaptic
Posted by: LL-user - 03-20-2015, 04:27 AM - Forum: Installing Software - No Replies

Hi,

Am referring to UNLIMITY's question and misko_2083's reply in regard to update notification in this post:
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/off-t.../#msg13041

Does anyone know whether Synaptic's update notification (-> Settings -> Repositories -> Updates) is actually working respectively why not? It would at least cover security updates. Also don't know why "When there are other updates" options are deactivated.

Wouldn't that feature mainly cover what UNLIMITY has been asking for? For a good reason Smile

  [Solved] Wine Application Missing Once Started on Dual Screens
Posted by: kjacobs - 03-20-2015, 04:01 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (9)

Hi folks,

I have an interesting issue crop up this evening.....I was changing out my dual screens and switching them around. Everything seems fine with all apps excepts one wine app i run. For some reason, after the splash comes up on the main monitor, the application never shows up. It is visible in the task manager as running, but is not visible on either monitor. I have tried shifting the monitors around in the Nvidia set to try and find the app, but cannot locate it.

Anyone have some ideas had to get the app back on the main monitor.....or at the very least force wine apps to run on the main monitor, so I can find this app? ???

Thanks.

Ken

  Reinventing The Wheel?

Just as a matter of interest, do the gurus behind each distro ever "talk" to each other. I get the impression that in some areas LL is having to reinvent the wheel as it were? My usual comment that the default set up process for Mint & Puppy  means that keyboard & Language work straight off, and the problem with Google Earth and video card drivers does not raise its head.  This is not meant to be a criticism but  hopefully a helpful prompt??  Says he who has never coded anything in his lifeSmile

Some devs do communicate with each other, remember linux is all about choice. It's a catch22, unify and seek common ground and users will benefit (self explanatory), keep the status quo and the users benefit (give people options). Continued discussion on this best suited to On Topic.

Jerry has suggested that issues brought up in  Re:  Linux Lite 2.4 Beta Released   but would be better discussed here.

  [SOLVED] Dual Booting with Win7
Posted by: Quinco - 03-19-2015, 06:38 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

Windows 7 64bit installed on laptop, installed Linux Lite 64bit and all good. Boot Laptop and grub comes up with LL and Win7, can boot either. What I would like to do is to be able to boot to the Windows boot screen and select either Windows or LL. I have EASYbcb 2.2 installed under Windows but can't seem to configure it to be able to boot from the windows boot screen. I know how to restore the Windows MBR but obviously don't want to do this until I can boot LL from the windows boot screen. Any help appreciated using EasyBcb or any other way to achieve my goal..

  Need help with panel customization
Posted by: Zead - 03-19-2015, 12:25 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (7)

Hey, So I've been playing today a little with my Linux Lite

[Image: bgr2ue.jpg]

and I wanted to know, how to make the panel icons minimazable, or how else to say it.

What I want is. I want the panel icons work the same as the whisker menu works, I don't want any tabs (like the FireFox one in the picture), so the icons will be highlighted if the window is opened or minimized (as the whisker menu in the picture). Click the icon to open and minimize window. First click will open the new window. Right click > new window to open second window.

Something like Unity's left panel. And its pinned icons.

I know it's possible, but it will be hard to do probably. Docky is not exactly what I want.

Thanks.

  [Solved] Where Is Syslog?
Posted by: kjacobs - 03-18-2015, 03:03 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

Me again.....I have noticed that it seems that syslog is missing on LL 2.2 and at least 2 machines built recently. My desktop has a syslog in the VAR/LOG/ folder, but it is empty and dated back in November of last year.

What happened to the logging that posts to syslog, as it is needed for some troubleshooting of other software? ???

Thanks,
Ken

  Virtual Consoles with dual Monitors
Posted by: kjacobs - 03-17-2015, 12:57 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

Hi folks,

I just recently installed an old Nvidia GeForce 8400 dual head video card in my LL 2.2 machine and am loving the extra space. However, this morning I tried to access virtual console 1 (Ctrl + Alt + 1) and just got a blank screen. I have an application that runs in the background full time on that virtual console, and I could not see its status. I then tried the other virtual consoles with the same results.....no terminal prompt, just a black screen.

Is there an issue with accessing virtual consoles when using multiple monitors??? This always worked fine when I was using a single screen....

Ken
