How does one restore a single file or directory in Linux Lite?  I was going through the restore process using the Backups utility (aka Deja Dup), and it appeared it was going to restore everything I backed up, when I only need to retrieve one file.

Hi I have another boot issue this and it's this when I boot my modified chromebox with Linux Lite as standalone os it boots slower than usual then when I pressed f4 the system hangs at "starting enable remaining boot-time encrypted block devices".  I googled that phrase and discovered a forum post in the Linux Mint bugs.launchpad.net site that said that in order to resolve this issue, I had to drop into recovery mode on boot, remount the root partition as read/write if necessary, edit fstab to fix or comment out the offending entry, save it and reboot. 

So rebooted my modified chrome-box and went into the grub menu and booted this distro's kernel in recovery mode and tried to edit fstab by remounting the root partition as read write and couldn't do it.  Along the way, I also discovered that terminal no longer works when pressing ctrl-alt-F1 nor does ctrl-alt-F2 nor with F3.  After trying to run fstab in recovery mode several times and discovering that it just sits there I googled this problem I found a workaround at this forum post http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/...rect-fstab whereby I see the contents of the fstab file add init=/bin/bash to the end of the kernel command line.  So I did what is on that post and got into the fstab file and saw the phrase which is the title of this post. 

Therefore, I googled "Kernel Panic- not syncing VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)" to find a likely solution for this error and found this post in the Ubuntu forum dating back to 2012 a user by the name of lemon squeeze states that If you cannot get a root prompt at all, then get a LiveCD (the cd / usb key you used to install ubuntu should work) and boot from it. Then you have a useable system from which you can access the broken one.  http://askubuntu.com/questions/116635/ke...oo-swapper.  So my question to you guys is this should I follow Oli's instructions to Boot to a LiveCD, select Try Ubuntu and then open a a terminal. Run the following:
sudo fdisk -l etc, etc in other words try to fix this my installed distro with an ubuntu live usb as shown in the you tube video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7jIAvs5bFU

[size=1em]Hi,[/size]

[size=1em]I started new thread instead of using the other thread.[/size]
[size=1em]I think this is possibly disk related..??[/size]
[size=1em]I booted a live gparted, and prepared partitions in advance. (see below)[/size]

[size=1em]"IMPORTANT" the NUC contains a "Samsung nvme pcie ssd"[/size]
[size=1em]So gparted detected drive O.K, and allowed me to create partitions.[/size]
[size=1em]Linux kernel gives an odd, but normal: /dev/nvme0n1p1[/size]
[size=1em]I decide to install LL2.6 1st and make sure everything works.[/size]
[size=1em]I ran LL2.6 Live boot USB, installed it, and it all ran O.K, no errors.[/size]
[size=1em]On re-boot I get the "grub screen"[/size]

[size=1em]I checked Win7 still booted O.K, and it booted fine.[/size]
[size=1em]Then I re-booted and selected "Linux Lite",[/size]
[size=1em]momentary disk access, then the following: (sorry only have camera phone)[/size]

Good read and great video by Joe Collins.  Thought I'd share.

The Dual Boot Deception

Hi.  Using Lite 2.6, 64-bit.

I'm still spinning on the themes issue.  Here's my problem.

The manual tells us to search the Gnome Look website for our desired theme.  In my case, it's Adwaita-Xfce.  Found it, clicked through.  I'm supposed to download the theme.  But when I click on the download link, it takes me to github.  Clicking through the links, you get a long list of files that apparently are contained in the adwaita archive, but I can't figure out how to download the archive, as instructed.  It's so frustrating!!!!  Why isn't this easier?

I would really appreciate some help here.  Many thanks.

Are donations to Linux Lite from the US tax deductible?

I don't know, but this link from the Debian Site says contributions to SPI (Software in the Public Interest) are.  And this link from the Linux Foundation says contributions to them are not.

If, like SPI, Linux Lite needs to register as a non-profit organization in the US for donations to be tax deductible, then the paperwork might be worthwhile.

Hi there;

    I have this distro installed as the sole os on my modified Intel Core i3 4010U chrome-box with an Intel Graphics 4000 GPU.  Okay, so my problem is this when I boot the system the inital progress bar is displayed for 3 or 4 seconds then all I see is a black screen.  Upon pressing the power button on my chrome-box, the system shuts down as usual.  I've typed this on my pc for convenience purposes and don't know if I'll be able edit this post to attach the error log later on from my chrome-box, if not it will be in the follow-up post.  Anyway thanks for reading my post and I hope we'll be able to resolve this in a timely manner.

Need help to preserve my sanity
