  Install-Updates Error
Posted by: Scott(0) - 11-20-2014, 08:50 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

If you get this error when runing "install-updates"

Code:
synaptic: no process found


I'm sure it will be fixed soon but in the meantime you can open a terminal and run:

Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

  Laptop Lid switch issues
Posted by: bubblesdee - 11-20-2014, 01:58 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (2)

I am having issues with my HP pavilion laptop that is running Linux Lite 2.0
When I close the laptop lid, the screen will hibernate.  I don't want this.

I have changed actions that the laptop is supposed to do then the lid is closd in the settings GUI to ignore but the screen still goes black when the lid is closed.

From what I have read, I am supposed to do the following

1) open a terminal window
2) type " sudo leafpad /ect/system/logind.conf
3) find the line #HandleLidSwitch=(whatever value is in there now)
4) removed the # and change it to HandleLidSwitch=ignore
5) save the file and restart the computer

Does this sound correct?

I am very new to Linux and the command tool

I use the sudo Leafpad enrty because Linux Lite comes with Leafpad as the text editor correct?  I woulkd use sudo gedit if gedit was installed on Linux lite 2.0 , but I don't think it is.

Any help would be appreciated

  GUI Updates script
Posted by: Valtam - 11-20-2014, 10:36 AM - Forum: Linux Lite Software Development - Replies (52)

Hi folks,

I would like some volunteers to try this update script I have been working on and off for some months now.

This would require you to create this file first so that there is no interruption in the update process:
(source http://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/09/21/deb...d-by-dpkg/)

Code:
sudo leafpad /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/local

Code:
Dpkg::Options {
   "--force-confdef";
   "--force-confold";
}

save and close.

Here is the script:

Code:
leafpad ~/updatestest

copy into the following, then save and close, and make executable:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

Then open terminal and run:

Code:

and let me know how you get on.

  [SOLVED] After switching to the nvidia driver, the xfce setup is messed up
Posted by: gogobebe2 - 11-20-2014, 05:30 AM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (14)

I recently installed linux lite. I went to change from the nouvea driver to the nvidia legacy updates driver, restarted my pc. I remember being prompted to have default xfce  or something else and I think I clicked ok but can't remember. Then my whole xfce system went from the normal xfce setup that comes when you install linux lite to the default bad looking default xfce that is plain xfce. Does anyone know how I can change this back?
Thanks help is much appreciated.
