  Question 64 or 32 bit LL 2.2 Opinions welcomed
Posted by: newtusmaximus - 12-14-2014, 03:45 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (5)

Have  a 2007 ultra slim desktop HP Compaq dc7700 which currently has 3 x 1 GB Ram fitted  running on 32 bit  LL2.0
RAM  usually only 10% occupied.  Bios previously updated 2011 version.

System apparently has 64 bit capability so out of interest ran live LL2.2 from USB and all appears to be working OK.

Question therefore:-

What would be the advantage of running 64 bit instead of 32 bit given that existing  RAM is only 3GB and barely occupied.  To fully utilise the 64 bit capability the dc7700 will accept 3 x 2gb RAM modules. Not a cheap upgrade £65.00 or so

Bearing in mind the desktop PC is being used for "normal" office use NOT CAD,  Intense Graphics ( photo editing) or gaming.  is there any point in changing from 32bit to the 64 bit option; with or without RAM upgrade?  Thanks

  Cannot add Armenian Language
Posted by: Sebouh - 12-14-2014, 09:48 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (10)

Hi All, being a newbie, I need assistance to add and work with Armenian language in Linux Lite 2.2

Here is the issue:

* Downloaded and installed the Armenian language package via Language Support.
* Added the Armenian language in the Keyboard layout.
* Ibus is selected.
* Ibus preferences input methods, the "Customize active input methods" is checked.
* Drop down the :Select input method >>> show all input methods, the Armenian language is not there.

Where have I gone wrong or what is missing ?

Thank you in advance for your assistance  Smile

Please add btrfs-tools to the iso. I encountered an error while installing LL 2.2 with btrfs format selected. Installing the tools package fixed it.

  Remote "Terminal" Access
Posted by: Wirezfree - 12-13-2014, 09:51 PM - Forum: On Topic - No Replies

Hi,

This may come in useful if you just need to quickly connect to another PC to say check some files or config.

First install package on the "Remote PC(s)" the one(s) you will "Connect TO"

Code:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
lots of output
[ snip ]
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree     
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
.
.
0 to upgrade, 5 to newly install, 0 to remove and 83 not to upgrade.
Need to get 445 kB of archives.
After this operation, 1,571 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? Y
.
.
$
Then to test it locally, still at the terminal prompt
Code:
ssh <yourusername>@localhost
The authenticity of host 'localhost (127.0.0.1)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is e5:da:66:ed:64:9d:d2:bc:db:18:ca:92:10:46:d1:8c.
Then a question.?
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'localhost' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.

  [SOLVED] Firefox 32.0.3 Flash Plugin Vulnerability
Posted by: dby - 12-13-2014, 08:16 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (9)

HI
I'm running LL 2.0 32 bit, which has Firefox 32.0.3 installed. However, it is now out of date and I'm getting warnings about the Flash Plugin being vulnerable and should be updated. Mozilla recommend installation through the repository updates but as these don't seem forthcoming, I'm wondering if it would be wise to update to Firefox 34.0.5 manually and also update the Flash Plugin manually.


I would be happy to read any views on this as Firefox is my prefered browser (Chrome's so sluggish these days).


Regards
dby  :-\

  Round of applause!
Posted by: Monkeyman - 12-13-2014, 04:59 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (2)

Just wanted to give Jerry and the other forum members a BIG round of applause for all the help I've received.  I've tried various Linux distros in the past with little success.  If those had the same support that LL has, I probably would have stuck with Linux a long time ago.  I tend to get frustrated and stressed pretty easily but when I installed 2.2 a few hours ago, I felt much less stress than normal mostly because I KNEW, if I had a problem (and I did), I'd get an answer here.

Two thumbs up to the Linux Lite "team"!
