  lightdm stopped working (Linux Lite 2.2 64bit)
Posted by: ceramics - 01-20-2015, 06:00 PM - Forum: Other - No Replies

Symptom. When booting up the process would stop just before log in screen after getting to a black screen with movable mouse cursor.
This happened after a recent update.

I could Ctrl Alt F1 and log in, then startx. This would load the desktop and I could then use the computer normally. When I restarted the computer, the boot up process would hang at the black screen with movable mouse cursor once again.

The fact that I could load the desktop via startx  tells me that the problem is not the graphics driver.

I did quite a lot of reading on line regarding this problem, but was unable to find anyone with exactly the same issue, however, I tried the following 2 suggestions from what I read;
After a fresh start and Ctrl Alt F1 to give me a text login, I tried

Code:
sudo service lightdm stop
, then
Code:
sudo service lightdm start
.
I also tried
Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
, but was unable to solve it.

I also tried marking .config in my home folder as .config.old so that a new .config would be generated when I restarted just in case there was something in the old .config that was causing the problem. This did not solve it so I reverted to my old .config.

I also tried reinstalling lightdm.

In the end I installed gdm, and now can use the computer normally again.

Whilst gdm has gained me a fairly happy computer again, I realise that this did not solve the real problem that I had with lightdm and I wonder if anyone else has had trouble, or can suggest a fix?
I must add that I think Linux Lite is a wonderful distribution and am really thankful to all of you that have put in many hours work to develop and maintain it. It has been a great help to me, and to the friends that I have encouraged to use it!

  How to use the panel as a dock
Posted by: anon222 - 01-20-2015, 05:06 PM - Forum: Tutorials - Replies (19)

In this tutorial I'll show you how to use a panel instead of a dock.
Many people use docks and launchers such as plank and wbar. I don't . This is a little trick I've learned some time ago.
All you need to do is to make an additional panel on the desktop.
So let's start:
¤ Open the Menu, Settings, Panel
A Panel Preferences dialog wil openl, and there you'll see 'Panel 1'
Next to it, on the right side  you'll see two buttons.
The first button creates a new panel. The second removes the panel. Be carefull not to remove 'Panel 1'!
¤ Click on the first button (plus sign) to create a new panel. A new panel will be named 'Panel 2'
[Image: lVPVOlr.png]
× If you want panel to be on top you can drag it to the top. As long as the panel isn't locked you can move it wherever you like.
[Image: lW45LAP.png]
× If you want the panel on the left or right side drag it to the left or right side.  Then change Mode to 'Vertical' in the Panel Preferences dialog.
Now go back to the Panel Preferences dialog.
¤ Select 'Automatically show and hide the panel' if you want the panel to be hidden until you position your mouse ponter to the edge of the screen. That's what I always do because the new panel takes unecesery space on the desktop.
[Image: 29Qr5aF.png]
Next, the lenght of the panel.
× If you want your panel in the middle just leave it as it is. Option 'Automatically increase the lenght' will automatically increase the size of the panel as you add new items.
× If you want the panel to start at the top and end at the bottom of the screen increase it to 100%.
¤ After you've positioned the new panel , lock it by checking in 'Lock panel'. That will prevent the panel from moving.
Open the appearance tab.
Customize the panel as you whish. If you'we enabled display compositing you can set the alpha.
[Image: IJrcmye.png]
It's time to add Items to your panel.
[Image: EVbVpKt.png]
¤ Click on the 'Items' tab and start adding new launchers and multi-level launchers.
[Image: BdzJFWl.png]
Tip: When you add launchers you can Disable tooltips in the 'Advanced' tab of the launcher dialog settings.

You don't need to stop at the launchers. You can add other items.
I think it's nice to separate them with the separators.

Use the buttons on the right side to add, move and edit items on the panel.

  [SOLVED] Mouse and keyboard stop working when plugged in
Posted by: Madhuvan Rishiraj - 01-20-2015, 02:55 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)

Hello,
I am kind of a layman when it comes to Linux, but now using Linux Lite for last one year. Here is the problem I have that I request your help with:
My Laptop DELL Vostro-1015 where I have Lite 2.2 installed (64 bit) for last 2 months (before that I had Lite 2.0) developed this problem suddenly yesterday. The mouse and the keyboard suddenly stopped working. I thought maybe the ribbon cables are lose, so I took them apart and refitted them and they started working after a while. Then as I plugged the charger back in, they stopped working again. When I took the charger off it started working again. If I leave the charger connected for a long time it stops working completely and I have to press the power button to shutdown. Kindly help.

Recently (3 weeks back) I removed the DVD drive as it was broken.

I also checked with a live USB to find out if there was a problem with the Distro, but nothing happened. I tried Live USB of Lite 2.2 and Manjaro XFCE.

Thank you for bearing with me.

  Black screen problem on MSI Wind U100
Posted by: Klinux - 01-19-2015, 10:46 PM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (6)

[Posting in small parts as I get "Internal Server error" if I post more than a couple of sentences]
I installed Linux Lite 2.2 on an MSI Wind U100 netbook with no problem, installed updates and installed BackupPC.

All was going fine, but after the screen went to sleep/standby/hibernation (I'm not sure which) the screen went black with only the mouse pointer showing and moving on it.

  [SOLVED] Firefox crashing Linux Lite after install
Posted by: dudeMANguy - 01-19-2015, 01:24 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (6)

I installed Linux Lite 2.2 (my first try using a Linux OS), and everything seemed to go smoothly (I installed Ubuntu 14.04 first and it would crash immediately after login with a weird screen glitch).

The first thing I did after installing LL was update the software, and then added additional software like deluge, games, and chrome.....

I remember FF loading and working fine before installing the additional software, but since then anytime I try to load it, it crashes Linux Lite with a weird cascading screen glitch. Once I was able to load FF without crashing by selecting the help and manuals link from the Menu instead of clicking the Firefox button from the launcher.

Chrome works great though...and so far FF seems to be the only thing crashing everything....

ultra newb here...

  [SOLVED] Unable to post
Posted by: Klinux - 01-19-2015, 06:39 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (1)

I'm trying to post in the Video Cards section, but every time I submit I get an error:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Edit - If I write only a couple of sentences and click preview then it works okay. If I write more than that and click preview or submit, I get the above error.

  How to change the font of the Whisker Menu Title
Posted by: anon222 - 01-18-2015, 11:26 PM - Forum: Tutorials - Replies (7)

I've discovered this accidentally. You can change the title if you use the pango markup language.
Right-click on the Menu then Properties.
[img height=600 width=361]http://i.imgur.com/9TfSecn.png[/img]
When the whisker menu dialog  opens change the title to this:

Code:
<span foreground="black" size="large">Menu</span>
foreground defines the font color
You can set your own font color. For example red, green, #fff, #fcfc02...
size defines the font size, some of them are 'xx-small', 'x-small', 'small', 'medium', 'large', 'x-large', 'xx-large'
If you want to see more options follow this link
