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
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Name: Linux Lite Updates
# Description: A GUI tool to easily install Updates in Linux Lite.
# Authors: Misko_2083, Jerry Bezencon
# Date: Nov 20th, 2014
# Website: https://www.linuxliteos.com
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Kill off any package managers that may be running
sudo killall -9 synaptic
killall -9 gdebi-gtk
# Need a check here to see if any updates are available, if there are none, script pops up dialog box saying 'No Updates Available'
# Erase existing available info
sudo dpkg --clear-avail
# Linux Lite default dialog icon
ic="/usr/share/icons/zenity-llcc.png"
# Get list of available updated packages then populate them to /tmp/updateslist
zenity --question --title="Linux Lite Updates" --window-icon="/usr/share/icons/zenity-llcc.png" --text="We will now fetch the Updates list.\n\nClick Yes to continue or No to abort."
if [ "$?" -eq "0" ];then
x=$( stdbuf -oL /bin/bash \-c '(sudo apt-get update \-y )' 2>&1 |
stdbuf -oL sed -n -e '/\[*$/ s/^/# /p' -e '/\*$/ s/^/# /p'|
zenity --progress --title="Updating package information..." --pulsate \
--width=600 --auto-close )
LISTNAMES=$(apt-get --just-print upgrade 2>&1 | perl -ne 'if (/Inst\s([\w,\-,\d,\.,~,:,\+]+)\s\[([\w,\-,\d,\.,~,:,\+]+)\]\s\(([\w,\-,\d,\.,~,:,\+]+)\)? /i) {print "Name: $1 INSTALLED: $2 AVAILABLE: $3\n"}' | tee /tmp/updateslist)
else
exit 0
fi
# Call the zenity dialog to show update list
zenity --text-info --title="List of available Updates - Click OK to continue or Cancel to stop the update process" --width=700 --height=300 --filename="/tmp/updateslist"
if [ "$?" -eq "0" ];then
# Main window dialogue.
INSTALLER_TITLE="Linux Lite Updates
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please make sure all software installation programs like
<b>Synaptic Package Manager</b> and <b>Gdebi</b> are closed before proceeding.
When you click on <b>Yes</b>, this window will close and the updates will begin.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Click on <b>Yes</b> to continue or <b>No</b> to cancel the updates process."
# Halt updates script if user selects Cancel
else
exit 0
fi
# Continue script if no halt
INSTALL_ICON="/usr/share/icons/zenity-llcc.png"
APPNAME="Linux Lite"
zenity --question --title="$APPNAME Updates" --window-icon="${INSTALL_ICON}" --text="${INSTALLER_TITLE}"
if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then
x=$( stdbuf -oL /bin/bash \-c '(sudo apt-get upgrade \-y )' 2>&1 | tee /var/log/llupdates.log |
stdbuf -oL sed -n -e '/\[*$/ s/^/# /p' -e '/\*$/ s/^/# /p'|
zenity --progress --title="Updating..." --pulsate \
--width=600 --auto-close )
if [ "${PIPESTATUS[0]}" -ne "0" ]; then
zenity --error \
--title="Error" --text="$APPNAME Updates have failed."
exit 0
fi
else
exit 0
fi
PROCEED=$(zenity --question --title="$APPNAME Updates" --window-icon=/usr/share/icons/zenity-llcc.png --text="Updates have finished installing.\n\nWould you like to view the $APPNAME Updates log?"; echo $?)
if [ ${PROCEED} -eq 1 ]; then
zenity --info --title="$APPNAME Updates" --window-icon="${INSTALL_ICON}" --text="$APPNAME Updates Complete."
exit;
else
zenity --text-info --title="Updates Log" --width=700 --height=300 --filename="/var/log/llupdates.log"
fi
exit 0
Then open terminal and run:
Code: gksudo ./updatestest
and let me know how you get on.
Thanks

I would like to upgrade from my onboard graphics and really like the nvidia GTX 750ti cards. Are drivers, etc., available? Anyone running one now? I'm using Linux Lite 2.0 in a home-built system. Thanks!

Well, I got itchy. I recieved my Dell E5500 from fedex. A good friend gave it to me.
It had XP on a slow 5400 rpm 120 gig sata hard drive. On my Compaq CQ57. I had installed Linux Lite
on a GPT Apple SSD drive. Info on it coming presently.
Only fix I needed for the swap is this dell has broadcom wireless. I followed my own tutorial I posted at LQ last year on dealing with this.
I hooked up to my hard line and followed my instructions here.

Rebooted. Posting wirelessly here now on this

Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
302 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.327 FPS
299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.631 FPS
299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.639 FPS
299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.624 FPS
299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.636 FPS
Like I said and will reiterate now. The only tweak/fix I needed was
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
After checking at
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
1st to make sure my chip was in the YES part of the column.

I only have one wish for the new Linux Lite 2.2 operating system. Would love to see the Ubuntu Software Center added as a new program. The existing Software Additions program and Synaptic program have limitations. Getting the Ubuntu Software Center would be an early Christmas present.

| Help! Blue Screen Appears When Booting Up |

Posted by: dayooper - 11-18-2014, 04:58 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown

When booting up I'm getting a blue screen which says, "GNU Grub version 2.02~beta2-9". There are 4 options to choose from. At the bottom of screen it states, "Use up or down arrows to select which entry is highlighted. Press enter to boot the selected OS, 'e' to edit the commands before booting or 'c' for command line".
I selected the first option and hit "enter". It went to a black screen with a flashing cursor in the upper left corner. Couldn't get off the black screen, so I shutdown. Restarted and ran the two "memtest" options and passed both tests. I did not mess with the advanced option. Would appreciate your help to resolve this problem.
