Lubuntu 16.04 (32bit) Setup Info

[Saturn]

Decided to upgrade to the newest LTS version from 15.10 now that K9copy was updated and released. It installs a bit differently and I can't get it to function properly but it works nonetheless. Most of the installs are the same as the previous version but there are some major differences, the most awkward being the lack of CUPS built in. There may be some form of it but I wasn't able to set up my printer as easy. Literally had to install CUPS first, then proceed as normal. Also, no XTerm   Still, this is an awesome OS and following the below, was able to have it up and running from scratch in a couple of hours. Hoping updates over the next few months will make it smoother.


Try at your own risk but this is what worked for me
Recommend running from a live CD first to test compatibility with your computer, even though actually installing it after a successful run doesn't guarantee it will work. Discovered this using that method with a Dell Inspiron 1100. It worked great using the Live CD but after installing, the graphics driver was incompatible and Lubuntu had to be removed as it was unusable. Below is merely a ton of info I discovered after hours of research and compiled here to possibly assist anyone else looking for the same-but moreso, to refer to myself as a quick resource when wiping out and reinstalling this wonderful operating system

Download, burn & install Lubuntu: (this info is derived from 32bit only) Lubuntu releases

***********************************************************************
Decrease the swap use (very important!): REF

[spoiler]1.4. This is especially noticeable on computers with relatively low RAM memory (1 GB or less): they tend to be far too slow in Lubuntu, and Lubuntu accesses the hard disk too much. Luckily, this can be helped.

On the hard disk there's a separate partition for virtual memory, called the swap. When Lubuntu uses the swap too much, the computer slows down a lot.

Lubuntu's inclination to use the swap, is determined by a setting. The lower the setting number, the longer it takes before Lubuntu starts using the swap. On a scale of 0-100, the default setting is 60. Which is much too high for normal desktop use, and only fit for servers.

A detailed explanation can be found here (link dead? Then download this pdf file with the same content).

Now the how-to:

a. First make sure that you have installed the applications gksu and leafpad:

Menu button - System Tools - LXTerminal

Type (use copy/paste):
sudo apt-get install gksu leafpad

Press Enter and submit your password. Please note that the password will remain invisible, not even asterisks will show, which is normal.

b. Now check your current swappiness setting. Type in the terminal (use copy/paste):
cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

Press Enter.

The result will probably be 60.

c. To change the swappiness into a more sensible setting, type in the terminal (use copy/paste):
gksudo leafpad /etc/sysctl.conf

Press Enter.

Scroll to the bottom of the text file and add your swappiness parameter to override the default. Copy/paste the following blue lines:
# Decrease swap usage to a more reasonable level
vm.swappiness=10
[/spoiler]

[spoiler]
(set at 20 or higher if using Dropbox or tray icon will not appear)
Set at 22 if using Dropbox and Skype or Skype icon will appear messed up)

[/spoiler]

[spoiler]d. Close the text file and reboot your computer.

e. After the reboot, check the new swappiness setting:

Menu button - System Tools - LXTerminal

Type (use copy/paste):
cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

Press Enter.

Now it should be 10.

Note: if your hard disk is an SSD, your machine will benefit from an even bigger decrease in swappiness. That's because too many write actions, like frequent swapping, reduce the lifespan of an SSD. For an SSD I advise a swappiness of 1. Also check these tips for optimizing an SSD for your Linux.[/spoiler]

Add Filesystem Root to folder side menu:
[spoiler]Open a folder-Edit-Preferences-Layout-(tick) Filesystem Root[/spoiler]
***********************************************************************
Turn on the firewall: REF

[spoiler]1.5. It's advisable to turn on the firewall (it's disabled by default):

Menu button - System Tools - LXTerminal

Copy/paste this command into the terminal:
sudo ufw enable

Press Enter. Type your password when prompted; this will remain entirely invisible, not even dots will show, this is normal. Press Enter again.

Now check the firewall status. Copy/paste into the terminal:
sudo ufw status verbose

Press Enter.[/spoiler]

The partition/drive from the UUID above should be visible (as well as all partitions/drives that are named, ie; 'Local Disk C' from a Windows installation won't actually have a name so won't appear in this folder. It will appear in the Terminal window after using sudo blkid but will be nameless there too.) Double click the desired partition to view its contents.
Right click on any file or folder inside the partition/drive and select Properties
Highlight and copy the path next to location

Back in fstab, add a space after the UUID info pasted into it earlier & paste the path you just copied.
Example: UUID=01D198544C1A4580 /media/cylon17/Backups
You can now click Directory Tree in the open folder to switch it back to Places if desired

Back in the Terminal window with the UUID info, look for the TYPE of the partition/drive from earlier. Type the info on the line in fstab after a space from the mount point.
Example: UUID=01D198544C1A4580 /media/cylon17/Backups ntfs

To finish the line and make the partition/drive automount, add a space and defaults 0 1
Example: UUID=01D198544C1A4580 /media/cylon17/Backups ntfs defaults 0 1


Do the same for any other partitions or drives and reboot to test.[/spoiler]

Installing a Samsung printer:
[spoiler]REF REF2
Seems this version of Lubuntu doesn't come with CUPS installed so first, type this via Terminal:
sudo apt install cups


Download Samsung Linux Driver (SF-760P) Scroll down to Manuals and Downloads & click View All-Drivers for the entire list.

Printing & Scan Driver (Driver) ver.V1.00.37_00.99 - Linux (MULTI LANGUAGE, 14.66 MB) Click DOWNLOAD (GZ) and accept the disclaimer.
Move uld_v1.00.37_00.99.tar.gz to home directory
Via Terminal:

cd uld
*Make Terminal full screen*
sudo sh install.sh
*Press enter carefully until "10. Others" appears or nears, as this is very close to the end of the disclaimer and the y/n question is about to appear. Don't press Enter again bc you'll have to start over if you pass it*
press y

Dropbox:
[spoiler]Via Terminal for 32Bit:
cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86" | tar xzf -

To open Dropbox 32Bit (& change settings):
Open home folder
ctrl+H
.dropbox-dist folder
dropbox-lnx.x86-3.18.1 folder (if using 32 bit ver)
Double click "dropbox" icon
Click Execute

Fix status icon and autostart: REF (This worked like a charm for me)
[/spoiler]

[spoiler]However, the only thing I have found to work for Lubuntu is this:

    dropbox stop (or ctrl+alt+del to open task mgr-then right click and kill dropbox process)
    dbus-launch ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
    That will start dropbox with the system tray ("notification area") icon, instead of the nonfunctional "indicator area" icon. So, go into Dropbox settings via the icon that should now be working, and TURN OFF the check box to start dropbox automatically. Also, just to be sure, issue the following in terminal:
    dropbox autostart n
    gksudo pcmanfm
    in the elevated-permissions file manager window, go to folder /bin and create a file called "dropbox-workaround-autostart". In it put:

    #!/bin/bash

    dbus-launch ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd

    Right-click the file, and in permissions tab, make executable for Anyone.
    Go to Preferences>Default applications for LXSession>Autostart, and under the "manual" section input box, type the name of the file (dropbox-workaround-autostart) and hit add.

That's got it consistently working for me know. Hope that helps someone.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]


The following will launch Dropbox at startup but in Lubuntu the status icon is messed up so not recommended. Left it here for reference:
1.    Press the Lubuntu icon on the bottom left;
2.    Select "Preferences" > "Default applications for LXSession";
3.    In the opened window, select the option "Autostart";  (type /home/username/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86-3.18.1/dropbox & click Add)
4.    Now you can enable or disable the autostarted applications, check/uncheck one in the list or set manually on the field and pressing the "Add" button.

To make desktop shortcuts:
[spoiler](There are several ways, the following probably being the easiest but others are much more entertaining)

sudo pcmanfm /usr/share/applications

Click on your desktop and select paste

Example of creating a desktop trash bin to open with regular permissions:
Desktop shortcuts

Made a desktop shortcut using the trash can info in the link. Copied this:
[/spoiler]

Code Select Expand


[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Trash
Comment=Open Trash folder in PCManFM
Icon=/home/username/.extra-icons/trashcan-128x128(c).png
Exec=/usr/bin/pcmanfm trash:///
Terminal=false
Type=Application
[spoiler]
Pasted it into a new text doc named Trash.desktop then created the folder ".extra-icons" in my Home directory by holding ctrl+H to make all folders visible. Went online and downloaded a pic of a trash can and resized it to 128x128 via gthumb, renamed it to "trashcan-128x128(c).png" & moved it into the .extra-icons directory.
Quick saved the text doc and after rebooting it appeared on the desktop with the name Trash. Double clicking it opens the trash folder exactly as the original desktop icon does.

To create a shortcut to a mounted drive (ie; Windows installation folder) with elevated permissions: REF

Automatically login:
[spoiler]Security is a big issue but lately I've found that it's not necessary for my setup so adding this for reference.

Quick steps are:
Via Terminal:
sudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Paste in:
[/spoiler]

Code Select Expand

[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user=[i]YourUserName[/i]
autologin-user-timeout=0
user-session=Lubuntu
greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter[spoiler]
(Be sure to change YourUserName)

Quicksave and exit

See below for full explanation
REF[/spoiler]

[spoiler]How to Automatically Login to Lubuntu (with LightDM greeter)

This does not mean that you will not need the password for any administrative activities using Sudo but is ideal for a machine used for routine tasks like playing music. For security it is best to automatically login in to a user without administrative rights such as Sudo

First we need to edit (or create if it does not exist) the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf with the following contents. This needs to be owned by root so, in a terminal:

sudo leafpad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

and copy and paste so the file has the following contents with yourusername replaced with your actual user name:

[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user=yourusername
autologin-user-timeout=0
user-session=Lubuntu
greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter

If you wish to stop using autologin then comment out the lines starting with autologin as below

[SeatDefaults]
# autologin-user=yourusername
# autologin-user-timeout=0
user-session=Lubuntu
greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter

The timeout value seems to have no effect which means there is no way to operate with multiple users as you never see the choices before the login takes place. This is bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/902852 so it will hopefully be cured shortly.[/spoiler]

***********************************************************************
MAME:
[spoiler]Via Terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:c.falco/mame
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mame -y
mame
(alt + Enter to exit full screen)
*exit MAME*
cd ~/.mame && mame -cc

To change any paths, in a new Terminal:
gedit ~/.mame/mame.ini
NOTE TO SELF: While it's open, now would be a good time to change rompath (on line 10), cheatpath (on line 17), cheat 0 to cheat 1 (on line 153) and change window 0 to window 1 (on line 190), if needed.


If using default installation, to create the rest of the directories, in a new Terminal:
cd ~/.mame
mkdir ~/.mame/nvram memcard roms inp comments sta snap diff

If using default installation, to access the folder to copy roms to, open a new Terminal:
sudo nautilus /usr/local/share/games/mame/roms

To add cheats:
Download here and unzip.
Move the cheat.7z file to 'Home/.mame' or in my case specifially:
/home/cylon13/.mame/cheat
(In the above path the "cheat" is the 'cheat.7z' file without the extension. This is the only way I've consistently gotten it to work by the entry showing up in the Tab menu) REF

Navigate to /home/yourname/.mame and open mame.ini with gedit or use this in Terminal:
gedit ~/.mame/mame.ini
1st, search cheat and change its value from 0 to 1
Next, search for cheatpath (Line 17) and it'll look like:
cheatpath $HOME/mame/cheat;/usr/local/share/games/mame/cheat;/usr/share/games/mame/cheat
Change it to:
cheatpath $HOME/.mame/cheat
or in my case specifially:
cheatpath /home/cylon13/.mame/cheat

Tip: If you want MAME to open windowed by default, navigate to /home/yourname/.mame/mame.ini and open with gedit. Under # OSD VIDEO OPTIONS find window and change the value from 0 to 1 (Line 205).

Quick save and exit gedit
During game, press tab to see the new menu entry

Once you have roms in the appropriate directory, open Terminal and type:
mame romname

NOTE: The [Enter] key will probably stop functioning correctly while accessing the extra menus (by tapping the Tab key.) If/when it does, rebooting should fix it temporarily but it will continue to malfunction indefinitely. What I do is set the function to a different key by:
Open a game (mame pacman)
Hit the Tab key
Input (general)
User Interface
Use the down arrow key to scroll to UI Select
With it's key highlighted (Return), press C-or whichever key you prefer..
(I use C and make certain it's disabled for any other function by pressing [Esc] once and entering Player 1 Controls. Scrolling down the list and changing/removing as needed)
Press Esc key repeatedly until the menu disappears to have it set as the new [Enter] key.

REF Another way to do it (if you mess up and get locked out, like I just did  ), is to open /home/YourUserName/.mame/cfg/default.cfg
Change the text from KEYCODE_ENTER to KEYCODE_C as highlighted below, then quicksave and restart MAME:

Before:

Virtual Jaguar:
[spoiler]Index of VJ versions/tarballs
Installing the necessary dependencies, compiling the source and running VJ 2.10/2.12
Via Terminal, run these separately:
sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall -y
sudo apt-get install cvs subversion git-core mercurial -y
sudo apt-get install qt4-default libqt4-dev qtchooser qt4-designer -y
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev -y

Download VJ source or direct download to v2.1.0 or v2.1.2 and extract into /home directory.

Open virtualjaguar-virtualjaguar.pro and search  or  for: REF
(line 19 in v2.1.0):
LIBS      += -Lobj -ljaguarcore -lz -lm68k
Change it to:
LIBS      += -Lobj -ljaguarcore -lm68k -lz
or
(line 20 in v2.1.2):
LIBS += -Lobj -Lsrc/m68000/obj -ljaguarcore -lz -lm68k
Change it to:
LIBS += -Lobj -Lsrc/m68000/obj -ljaguarcore -lm68k -lz
Quick save and exit.

Compile it via Terminal:
cd virtualjaguar
make

When complete (can take a couple minutes) navigate to virtualjaguar-src-file.cpp and open it with gedit (or whichever editor) and in my file for v2.1.0, it's line 248. For v2.1.2, it's line 255. It says:
// We can assume we have JST_NONE at this point. :-P
return false;

Change it to read:
// We can assume we have JST_NONE at this point. :-P
// CW - I'm going to assume this is a BJL file that loads/runs at 0x4000
WriteLog("FILE: Setting up homebrew (BJL)... Run address: %08X, length: %08X\n", 0x4000, jaguarROMSize);
memcpy(jagMemSpace + 0x4000, buffer, jaguarROMSize);
delete[] buffer;
jaguarRunAddress = 0x4000;
return true;

Then quick save and exit file.cpp


~To run Virtual Jaguar~
Via Terminal:
cd virtualjaguar
./virtualjaguar

Open Jaguar-Configure-General tab
Change the EEPROMs path from:
/home/yourname/.local/share/data//virtualjaguar/eeproms/
to:
/home/yourname/virtualjaguar/eeproms

Change the Software path from:
/home/yourname/.local/share/data//virtualjaguar/software/
to:
/home/yourname/virtualjaguar/software

Copy ROMs to /home/yourname/.local/share/data/virtualjaguar/software/ (may have to create the directory)
Restart Virtual Jaguar
Play
(Change/enable settings in Configure to have sound, etc)

For a desktop shortcut, navigate to /home/yourname/virtualjaguar/virtualjaguar (3.1 MB executable), right click on it and choose Make Link. Move Link to desktop.

Another (cooler) way to do this is to create shortcuts to Virtual Jaguar 210 & 212 that execute without the prompt:
Create a desktop text file named for each (VJ210/VJ212) and paste in the following:
For version 210:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=VJ210
Comment=Open VJ210
Icon=/home/username/.extra-icons/vj_icon.png
Exec=/home/username/virtualjaguar210/virtualjaguar
Terminal=false
Type=Application


For version 212:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=VJ212
Comment=Open VJ212
Icon=/home/username/.extra-icons/vj_icon.png
Exec=/home/username/virtualjaguar212/virtualjaguar

Place an icon in /home/username/.extra-icons and edit username in paths to match.

Thank you. I'll need to update it once I have a workaround for installing AviDemux. (hoping there's eventually a workaround, anyway)
I've installed Xubuntu on an old Dell Dimension E510 so that OS is next on my list for this laptop I'm using at work. Would install it today but too much going on and can't risk any possible downtime.
Linux is great and I've converted some people to using it. Imho, it's the best bet with Micro$oft's prying eyes all over Windows 10. And it can only get worse with future 'upgrades', I'm afraid.

[Saturn]

Repos to remove if so inclined (recommended by "pros" bc it's dangerous to leave them in your repository. Wooooo lol):
Touchpad Indicator
Plank
Kodi
Deluge
Skype
Tether
MAME
But, you won't be able to autoupdate these to the newest version..

[Saturn]

Finally got Steam running, here's what I did although steps 1-3 are probably not needed as everything else worked like a charm (experienced the same errors after using the 1-3 attempted fixes):

Remove a corrupt version of Steam via Terminal:
sudo apt-get remove --purge steam -y

Install Steam via Terminal:
sudo apt-get install steam

Next, these via Terminal:
  1. add the graphics-drivers ppa
        sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
        sudo apt-get update

  2. install the recommended driver
        sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

  3. restart your system
        sudo reboot

Again, via Terminal:

Had a time with this last night. Was installing a game via a .sh file and couldn't easily find how to go about the process as I'd forgotten so for future reference..

Install a .sh file:
Move file to home directory

Via Terminal:
chmod +x filename.sh
./filename.sh

Note to self:
Have to do the chmod thing to take ownership. If you just ./ it may install but won't have the permissions to run it. Even after taking ownership of the individual folders and files, each subfolder/file seems to need to be taken of ownership too. Running commands from Terminal endlessly and at the end it still doesn't work lol. So, f(orget) that and use the above for simplicity
