Hi,

i tried installing linux lite 2.2 now, 3 times..
i've formatted the harddisk, created new partitions: /dev/sda ext4 mount option / and /dev/sda5 swap, also there is /dev/sda2 extended.
The installation was succesful, but linux lite isn't in the BIOS. (tried 2 times like this)

So now, in the installation process, i chose the option to delete previous OS (linux lite 2.2) and overwrite it with the same OS.
Again, installation worked fine, but still the linux lite isn't in the BIOS.

linux@linux:~$ sudo fdisk -l

Can someone help to solve this?
Thanks,

An absolute newbie thrilled to escape from Losedows XP (Windows XP). Great to be able to use LL but am finding it hard to run REMIND software. It says its loaded but I cant find it. Other software has loaded ok. Suspect I have missed some of the package?

I have been using Cute Reminder whilst in Windows but could not get Wine to recognise it.

Can anyone help a 70 yr oldbie please?

Hi all

I think it's time to kill this old dog I been using HP D530 Small Desktop,  Intel Pentium® 4 4gb Ram it does struggle doing most thing about 15 years old.

I did make a post here about it being dog slow was doen to Hard drive about to fail I got a new onw but still sound like it's going to take off the noises it makes.

I got a better computer ish maybe ten years old Acer  had a OME of win7 I very filmier with windows so was using it to cut video to edit photos I just don't like Gimp.

Talking out load this will work right.
So my plan is load Lite and then use virtualbox and have Win7 should I need to do that kind of stuff.

May main consern is how to make Linux/Lite secure I don't get the fire wall most can just turn on and it does it job, with a Linux I see you have to make rule.

Right time to get wiping 

Thanks to your generosity, we've been able to purchase an HP Z800 Workstation. Dual Intel Xeon 6 Core (Hexacore) Processors 2.4 GHz, 12MB cache, 5.86 GT/s QPI, HT, Turbo, 16GB DDR3 ECC RAM, NVIDIA QUADRO 4000 DDR5. Kernel compilations that used to take hours, now take just over 30 minutes. From all of the Linux Lite team, thank you for your support!

24 threads of pure awesome!

I installed the full version about 2 weeks ago and everything has been good. Now when I boot all I get is a black screen with the mouse cursor present and working. After reading an earlier post on the same topic I did the following. It is dual boot system with the windows side working fine.

I cannot register for this forum under the account I wanted to.  I set up everything and was waiting on the verification email.  I've clicked to have that email resent to me six to a dozen times and I still haven't received it.  It isn't in a junk or spam folder or even a trash folder.  I've checked.

The account I wanted to use was with my hotmail email.  I'm able to write this because I connected with a social networking account.  I can't log into that social networking account from work.  Therefore, I wouldn't be able to access this forum during the day.  I can get to this forum if I were allowed to type in the username and password that I created with my hotmail account.  I just need the darned verification email to arrive.

Thankyou.

To all the people who work behind the scene to provide us with a great operating system.

I finally decided that the solution to my growing list of problems was to upgrade, and have done a new and clean install of LL 2.4 on my laptop.

My first problem is that Dropbox is not working, for reasons I haven't experienced before. Nothing seems to be happening and I keep getting an 'authentication is needed to run /usr/bin/dropbox' as the super user message, a step I have never seen before and also appeared the first time I ran Skype on the new install. I hope this is something that won't have to be done every run-time, but for Dropbox, nothing satisfies it - my authentication just causes the error message to reappear some seconds later.

Is something misconfigured or wrong with the new install?

I have installed MP3gain using Synaptic from the repository -
It appears to be loaded but I cannot find it in the menu -
If I type MP3gain in the Menu search I get an option to" Run MP3gain" but nothing happens .


Am I missing something

So I think this is the fifth time i reinstalled LL 2.4 trying to solve my issue. 

I have an Intel HDA ALC268 sound card on a Toshiba Satellite p200. On any Ubuntu/Debian based distro (LL included) I installed, the headphones won't work, while the speakers work just fine. I searched forums, documentation, installed the realtek linux driver, tried all that alsamixer - pulseaudio advice, on this last LL 2.4 fresh install I even installed the 3.15 kernel from here https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/insta...te-kernel/ .

Nothing, headphones don't work. I'm out of options. I was planning on making LL 2.4 my base OS, instead of Windows, but because of this issue I've delayed that.
