Hi, I am Theo, 53 years old and i live in the most southern part of The Netherlands. Used windows for a long time and after trying out some linux distros is stayed with Linux Lite. Using linux for a few weeks now and all working like it should 

I can't boot LL 12.04.05. I think maybe problems started after I uninstalled that nasty lightdm greeter. But i reinstalled the gtk version and problem still persists. it begins to boot,  I think hardware list goes by and the nvidia splash and then something about saned being disabled and sometimes battery and cups are mentioned  but around then it always stalls. I can get in by choosing grub below the normal start line there's a repair and then repair screen and then continue then do alt-f2 and login and do startx and i get my desktop.

I note that I can not shut-down though. when i do menu> trun off computer I can only logoff user but restart and shutdown are greyed out.

What cold b e problem? Thanks

So, after burning a CD and getting Linux Lite up and running on my Asus eee something I wanted to install, and started.
I chose the option Erase disk and install Linux

This was followed by ceveral errors, and I haven\t got a clue on how to solve any of them.

After this it just sends me back to the step where I can choose between erasing the disk and installing, or something else.

No, I'm not really good at computer-stuff in general (as you can probably tell by my wording, I've got no clue), I'm just hoping someone is able to help me, I'd like to get this computer up and running again, works great when running from the disc, but that won't really work in the long run.

I have followed the instructions in  the manual to see if trim was working on my ssd.
Instead of o,s i got a screen full of f,s.
Attached is my new fstab file.

After successfully installing LL last night, I installed updates. Upon wakening and booting up, I lost my Wi-Fi, of course. It's a Linux thing. I knew I shouldn't have updated because that usually causes something to break.

My question is this, after reinstalling LL because I couldn't get the Wi-Fi to work after trying many things I found online, what updates should I do to keep from breaking this Broadcom Wi-Fi? Should I even update LL at all? I can't connect this laptop to Ethernet, so a wired connection is out of the question.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it... is that the best thing to do here, or is there a way to update only the necessary things without killing my Wi-Fi? I appreciate any feedback you guys have here.

Thanks!

Web browser user preference these days seems to be split between Firefox and Chrome. In the next version of Linux Lite I'd like to give people a choice from the get-go about what browser they would want to install and use. There are several reasons for this:

1. Freedom of choice
2. I am out of ways to make Linux Lite fit on a CD, 2.2 is now DVD size. Having no web browsers installed allows us to still fit on CD thus taking care of our cd-rom only people.
3. Misko's 'Set default web browser' application can now be incorporated, a very useful tool that can be integrated into a new tool I am calling 'Web Browser Configuration' which will reside in Menu, Internet.
4. Objectively speaking, Chrome seems to be leading the way with web standards and web application compatibility, Youtube and Netflix are a good example of this.





There is another part to this. With no web browser installed by default, the Help Manual is left at the top of the Menu without a browser installed to utilize. This is solved with the following resolution - a standalone browser.

The code is small, a web browser that is 29kb in size! It is a port of a project from the PClinuxOS community I'm calling 'Lite Browser'. This web browser was ported for LL to use strictly with the Help Manual although it is quite a capable web browser in itself (not capable of showing videos like youtube etc). It is lightweight and very fast launching in a snap with tabs, zoom, backwards, forwards, search, reload and homepage buttons. Requires one small dependency: sudo apt-get install python-webkit Code here - https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/files/lite-webbrowser.py launch in a terminal with: python lite-webbrowser.py (make sure it is executable first)

I'd like your feedback on this as it is a big move and I'm unaware of any other distro that currently gives this much choice with such an important piece of daily used software.

Thank you

I downloaded o.k but won't open,says to associate with a file. What file do I associate it with?

I'm trying to install LL from CD, but this PAE error comes up. I've looked online for information on it, but it goes over my noob head.

Can anyone help me figure out how to enable PAE? It says it's disabled by default. I'm installing it on a 2006 Dell Latitude 110L.

Thanks! If you need more info, I'll be glad to supply it.

Hi,

There is a current thread in Hardware on Mice... It reminded me.
I have a "cheap" Logitech M185 that I was having some issues with.

I came across the following which maybe of interest to Logitech owners.
(FYI, It works with my M185)

Tried to print off a form but the end result had approx. 30mm of the original document missing from the top with a corresponding blank section at the bottom, also 30mm.
Unable to find any settings on Linux Lite to adjust for this error.
Any suggestions?
