Check the Wiki.It has something on how to setup fingerprint scanners. There are also some things there you can try if it doesn’t work after installation, as the hardware of the scanners can be a problem with newer software.
The main difference is the look’&’feel, and that LinDoz uses Cinnamon as the Desktop, while the other 2 use XFCE. So it’s mainly “Eye-Candy” that is different. Compared to other distro’s I have tried, all MakuluLinux’s perform a lot better.
Core is the newest MakuluLinux, but the iso’s of both Flash and LinDoz have been updated. MakuluLinux is a free-time project, so any donations are very welcome…
It isn’t recommended to use the same home folder for all distro’s, there are user settings that are different, like XFCE settings etc, mixing them up will cause problems with the look and feel and behavior of MakuluLinux, as most of these settings are stored in files in the home folder.
But what I do is I delete the folders “Documentsa”, “Pictures”, etc, where my data is stored, and create symlinks with the same name pointing the folders on the other partition. Make sure you have setup the permissions in those folders so they can be used by all your Distro’s, as the UUID of the user accounts can be different. The User ID that gets created in MakuluLinux during installation is 1001 (1000 is used by the Live-User-ID, makulu).
Sorry, but this web page is in English. Can you please post your comments in English so we can understand what you are posting? Thanks.
That is normal if you use another OS. You have to logon to the forums to get connected. Another OS doesn’t necessarily know about all the credentials required for the logging in. A logon is an absolute requirement, without it you’d have the site pounded by spam messages.
It looks as if you are using firefox as web-browser. You could copy the profile of firefox (it is in your user’s account, under .mozilla). If you copy that over to your other OS’s your saved logons and other settings will carry over to the other OS. Besides that FF also includes “sync”. If you set that up further settings will automatically be synchronized with your other systems.
I don’t understand what you mean with not being able to connect to the forum. How can you post here if you aren’t connected? If you are talking about LinDoz, it is meant to look like m$ Windoze, that’s one of the reasons it is called “MakuluLinux LinDoz”, to make it sound similar to the m$ OS. But there is also MakuluLinux Flash (XFCE Desktop and extremely fast) or MakuluLinux Shift (similar to LinDoz, cinnamon Desktop and also very fast). Both of these OS’s are Debian based, while LinDoz is Ubuntu based.
The new isos for all of these OS’s have meanwhile been uploaded, and Language installations work fine in all of them.
Well, my French isn’t very good, and online translations like google translation usually doesn’t work well from my experience. For single words it may be fine, but ot for sentences, the sentences get out of context and in the end make little sense…
Anyway, which MakuluLinux are you using? Flash, Shift or LinDoz?
If flash or Shift, open a terminal and input the following:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install –reinstall locales
After that open the system settings, click on “Languages”, “Install/Remove Languages”, and now you should be able to add the language you need.
Or you could also wait for the next iso, it should be available shortly, and there language selection should work out of the box.
Please post your comments in English. Thanks.
I haven’t had any issues so far with the screensaver. Open System Settings and select “Screensaver”. Now you can set the configuration of the screensaver the way you need.
Install thunderbird via Synaptic package manager (I use it too). Then once installed, in “System Settings” click on “Preferred Applications”, and under “Mail”, select Thunderbird as the default mail client. Via Synaptic you can also remove the original mail client.
For Shift first open “System Settings”, then “Software Sources”, then under “Mirrors” first click on “Main” and select the faster of the two mirrors. Then click on “Base”, wait for some time and then select the fastest or closest mirror. After that click on “Update Cache”.
Now open a terminal and enter:
sudo apt install –reinstall locales
Once the locales have been reinstalled, go back to “System Settings”, select “Languages”, then click on “Install/Remove Languages”, click on “Add”, then scroll down and select the version of French you need and click on “Install”. The new language should now be shown in the list of the selected languages. It will probably say “some language packs are missing”. Click on that, and then click on “Install Language Packs”. This will now download and install the complete language pack for that Language. You can repeat that for the other installed languages. Once that is finished you can close that window.
Now back in the “Language Settings” window you can select your display language and region locale. After that logout and then back in, or reboot, and if you changed the display language to French, most things should now be shown in French.
For LinDoz the Procedure is similar, except that you can leave the terminal and “sudo apt install –reinstall locales” commands out.
Which “Makulu” did you install? Flash, Shift or LinDoz?
I didn’t even know there was such an applet in the panel. But I have now installed the “Winux10” icons and selected that, and the drive icon shows up.
What were the errors you got? Make sure you have assigned enough resources to the VM (2GB RAM & 20GB Disk recommended, Accelerate 3D Graphics essential, and select Linux, Ubuntu 64-bit When you start creating the VM).
