Hello from the netherlands,
I have installed and tested on LL 2.0 and find that this release (3.17Rc1) is quicker than 3.16 and used lesser memory.
Here it used 239 MB.

Ok, I usually can get by on my own figuring things out. But this is the 2nd run with the installer on this netbook.
I mention "on this netbook" because I ran this same persistent usb Linux lite 2.0 installer last night on my Compaq CQ57
with a Apple Hard drive with no problemo.

It's been on this screen for about a hour now after copying files. TOP tells me nothing about installer running. Only says one process running , which is TOP. Nothing about the installer.

Since this is the 2nd effort. I figured I'd post this. Because I do not expect a different result on the 3rd try.If you wish to see partition layout.

Everything else is working OK on this usb install as I am posting with it.
But this makes me wonder if I should blow it away and start from scratch
with a new made live usb install in case something got corrupted in the installer between
last night and today.
Kinda my track record this past week on my gear. Flat tire on bicycle. ChromeBook will not recover
and is a glorified door stop for now. My finger tips are sliced up from working on brick.
I am in a bad spot of the universe this week I guess. Any encouragement or suggestions welcome.
I can't win for losing in certain situations this week I guess.
I just looked at the installer again. No progress. I am shutting this down.
Edit: This is a OCZ 180 gig 1.8 mini sata ssd drive that arrived in the mail today and is what Linux lite 2.0 is being installed to.
I had no problems installing this on a Apple 120 gig 2.5 ssd drive that came in for the compaq cq57 last night.
So Pebkau does not seem to be the issue here. If anything. I figured I would have had a harder problem install on the Apple hard drive vs this OCZ.

Hi,
Bit of a strange one, or I'm being stupid..!!, LL2 on my HP Laptop
Have installed a new Wireless Router(Asus N66) connected to my Broadband Modem.
The install set-up all seemed fine, Router connected to my ISP and I can see WAN & DNS addresses O.K
However, when I open my Browser, "Page Cannot Be Displayed" , So open a terminal and do some pings:
BBC By IP: Code: dave@hp-laptop:~$ ping 212.58.244.119
PING 212.58.244.119 (212.58.244.119) 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from 212.58.244.119: icmp_seq=2 ttl=53 time=21.2 ms
64 bytes from 212.58.244.119: icmp_seq=3 ttl=53 time=21.5 ms
^C

Code: dave@hp-laptop:~$ ping news.bbc.co.uk
ping: unknown host news.bbc.co.uk
dave@hp-laptop:~$
So...
I think DNS, recheck router all seems fine, to further test fire up my daughters Windows laptop connect to router that works fine....
Then... I add a DNS Server manually to the connection in LL2 in the connection manager settings, re-start it, and ping again
BBC News By url:Code: dave@hp-laptop:~$ ping news.bbc.co.uk
PING newswww.bbc.net.uk (212.58.244.61) 56(84) bytes of data.

dave@hp-laptop:~$
So that works, and also web browsing now works.... So I'm now a bit confused.??
The only thing I can think of.?
My new router's LAN is in a different IP range compared to previous...
So as LL/Network Manager got the old router settings cached.?, and adding the DNS manually is overriding that.?
Any suggestions/ideas welcome.
Thanks... Dave

i installed 2.0 after using the live CD to verify that my dell laptop would run the software with no issues, I then proceeded to install 2.0 next to the windows 7 installation. once it completed the installation process it asked if i wanted to continue testing or reboot, i selected reboot and it ejected the CD, i pushed the tray back in, the screen has the picture of a feather and a bar on the bottom that continued to move, i tried hitting the enter key like i have in the past for getting out of the live CD, the screen stays on the picture of the feather and the bar on the bottom continues to fill up, after 20 minutes it is still there. is this a normal thing on reboot, should i have selected continue testing and then shut down the normal way? is this a bug in the installer like the screen freezing if you select encrypt the home drive at install?

Very new to Linux.
Installed Lite 2 and works fine . Desktop is great and stable. BUT when it boots ,apart from an inordinate long time , the opening screen are unreadable.
I'm not sure if it is my video card or the way the Lite was loaded ??
I'm using Lite as my full OS on a Dell 2200 desktop . The video card is on the motherboard .
Would a PCI video help ?
Thanks

| How to uninstall software |
|
Posted by: anon222 - 08-15-2014, 04:35 PM - Forum: Tutorials
- Replies (4)

Uninstalling software with synaptic package manager:
1. Open synaptic package manager
With menu (Install/Remove Software) or with this terminal command:
2. Search for software in the search box.
3. Right click each software you want to uninstall and mark them for removal. If you want to remove the software along with configuration files mark them for complete removal.
4. After marking for removal, click on Apply to start uninstalling all the marked applications.
Uninstalling applications with Terminal:
Before you start to uninstall applications, you must find out the exact package name of the application you are about to remove.
Check this tutorial to see how to use apt-cache and aptitude to find out the exact applications's package name:
https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/index...opic=734.0
There are two ways to do this:
1. To remove package enter this command: (Replace package_name with the package name of the application you want to remove)
Code: sudo apt-get remove package_name
Code: sudo apt-get purge package_name
autoremove is used to remove packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies for other packages and are now no longer needed.
Code: sudo apt-get autoremove
How to remove PPA's:
Before you remove or disable PPA's you need to know a few things.
Make sure you only disable or remove PPA's you added, not any others that came with your distribution.
Disabling a PPA means you won't receive any updates from that PPA anymore, but it does not remove any installed / upgraded packages.
The advantage of disabling a PPA instead of removing it is that you can easily re-enable it.
If you remove them you will not receive any critical system updates and you will not be able to install any applications from that PPA.
Be careful about removing PPA's. If you remove a PPA and the application is not removed, you won't get updates for that application automatically (or at least not when you do sudo apt-get upgrade). You will not receive updates and security fixes, bug fixes, etc. You can do it, but is on your own risk.
There are two ways to do this:
1. Using the graphical user interface:
Run this command to start Software & Updates GUI
Code: software-properties-gtk --open-tab=1
To disable a PPA, uncheck the box next to the PPA you want to disable.
Remember to disable both lines: the main and the source code line.
In the same way you can also re-enable a PPA.
To remove a PPA, select the ones you want to remove and click on Remove.
2. Removing PPA from the command line:
To remove PPA's use the --remove flag, similar to how the PPA was added:
Code: sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:owner/ppa
Code: ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
Code: sudo rm -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/targetppa.list
To find out the PPA to which a package belongs to, enter:
Code: apt-cache policy package_name
Code: apt-cache policy umplayer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
umplayer:
Installed: 0.98-1~trusty~NoobsLab.com
Candidate: 0.98-1~trusty~NoobsLab.com
Version table:
0.98-1~trusty~NoobsLab.com 0
500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/noobslab/apps/ubuntu/ trusty/main i386 Packages
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From this we can see that the ppa is ppa:noobslab/apps
If it is missing you have probably installed it using .deb method or from source or you removed/disabled the PPA.
How to purge a PPA
If it's not installed, first you must install ppa-purge.
Code: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
If there are no such packages in the distribution's repositories they will be removed.
In order to purge a PPA type the folowing command, just change the owner/ppa to whatewer you need.
Code: sudo ppa-purge ppa:owner/ppa
Code: sudo ppa-purge -i ppa:owner/ppa
How to uninstall software you installed from source code:
cd into the directory you compiled the application an then enter:
or
If the app was installed as root.
But this will work only if the developer of the package has taken care of making a good uninstall rule.
In the future to avoid that kind of problems try to use checkinstall instead of make install when you compile an aplication whenever possible.
It will create and install a deb file that you can then uninstall using your favorite package manager.
To install checkinstall, enter:
Code: sudo apt-get install checkinstall
you will use
The installed package can then also easily be removed via Synaptic or via Terminal.

| Video Card Driver issues |

I'm having some problems with my Linux Lite, whenever I watch a Youtube video above 480p, the video is delayed and skips to catch up with the audio. Direct* Wine games only show grey screens for a few seconds, then they crash to the desktop, OpenGL games also seem to run slowly. Only Glide games work as they should be on my PC. I'm using latest version (1.7.24) of wine, by the way, and run games through PlayOnLinux, but the same problem occur when I install/run games without it.
All of these issues seem to relate to my graphics card (AMD E-300), and that I don't have a Linux driver for it. I did a little research,and found this, but when I downloaded it and attempted to install it, it asked me to reboot, so I did, and it completely messed up the OS! It was showing the Ubuntu splash/loading screen and just hung there. I has to completely reinstall Linux Lite to fix the problem!
So what do I do now? Where/how can I get a working Linux driver for my graphics card installed?
