Re from previous post:  https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/index...;topicseen

As prior mentioned in the link above I relatively installed a hardware support update through the update manager in Ubuntu 12.04 and since then have been unable to access the OS, at all but continually use LL and WinXP.

I pointed out that I could boot into the non-GUI ttyl version of Ubuntu but am unable to figure how to get into the lovely GUI version I like.

I have tried using the Boot Repair utility (as suggested on the official Ubuntu forums) and have had no luck, I also tried deleting the new kernel but that didn't work either.

This was the output I received from Boot Repair:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7837640/

FYI, this supposed hardware output was released for the following reason, if you care to read the Ubuntu webpage - I can kind of being careless and lazy didn't really follow to reading it as understanding that it was hardware support I made the conclusion it had to be good.

When I deleted the newest Ubuntu kernel I used the synaptic package manager and looked under kernels and went to the most recent of these.  I should state that upon using the Boot Repair utility that LL controls the grub whereas it was Ubuntu previously.

If you have any questions or need more info just tell me, I'll try get back to you as soon as I can.

Finally, I do appreciate all comments, suggestions and solutions guys so thanks.

Yesterday, my laptop worked great with sound. Today, it has no sound at all. I've made no changes that I know of since last successful audio use.

I have looked at the information found here: https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/index...opic=574.0

It does not appear to be my volume keys on the keyboard and I also verified that all audio levels are set to 100 through the sound settings. As music is played,  I can see the sound bar moving up and down as if it recognizes the audio.



Here is the output of my lspci (lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio"):

I installed V2 on a HP Pavilion ze4610US laptop (768 megs of ram & 40 Gig HD).  The lappy runs pretty well.  However, the unit will not shut down properly.  I get circles of green and red on a black background with an indicator bar near the middle of the screen.  I can see movement on the bar, but after going about 20% of the way across--it hangs.  I tried pressing the enter key multiple times, but nothing.  The only way to shut down the computer is to hold the power button down until the screen goes black. 

When I click restart instead of shutdown, I get a black screen with Gray and white outline of a small feather or multicolored circles that looks like a bulls-eye and the progress bar stops at 20-25%.  When pressing the down arrow key, these messages appear on the screen:

Newbie question here.  I've installed the samba gui via the package manager and have designated a folder to share from pc 1 on my home network.  How do I find this shared folder from pc 2?  Each pc has one user configured.  Thanks.

This is really interesting, if  anyone wants to experiment.
I figured out how to customize whisker menu buttons.
First enable compositing, then edit .gtkrc-2.0 and add this:
#.gtkrc-2.0
#Whisker

    style "darkback"
    {
          engine "pixmap"
            {
                 
                    }
                    image
                    {
                            function                = BOX
                            recolorable            = TRUE
                            state                  = PRELIGHT
                            file                    = "hover.png"
                            border                  = { 1, 1, 1, 1 }
                            stretch                = FALSE
                    }
                    image
                    {
                            function                = BOX
                            recolorable            = TRUE
                            state                  = ACTIVE
                            file                    = "hover.png"
                            border                  = { 1, 1, 1, 1 }
                            stretch                = FALSE
                    }
            }
            bg[NORMAL] = "#404040"
            bg[ACTIVE] = "#606060"
            bg[PRELIGHT] = "#808080"
            fg[NORMAL] = "#ccc"
            fg[ACTIVE] = "#fff"
            fg[PRELIGHT] = "#fff"
    }
    widget "whiskermenu-window*" style "darkback"
#end of file

Save this image to your home folder and rename it to hover.png

log out and then back in, and see what happpens with whisker.

Next: Instead of using only one hover.png try using 2 different
For PRELIGHT use hover.png and for ACTIVE hover1.png
Adwaita gtk2 theme works great with this.

i'm not sure if this is a driver issue because i have been using this graphic card with full success, but now my monitor starts making like a "thunk" sound blacking sound for a second or two and turning back on. i've had this happen once or twice and ignored it, but today it got to the point where it would do it non stop. under drivers im using "the recommended driver" and seeing its a new issue i'm not sure if i should just go choosing new ones unless someone knows if this is a unrelated issue? weird how it started out of no where i've been using linux lite since 1.0.

"the divice is using the recommende driver."
"nvida corporation: G69 [GeoForce 9500 GT]

anyone have any ideas? find it weird that it is something that just started... :\

Dear Valtam,

Can LL 2.0 run in ARM based CPU's

Arun

This will open all webpages and html files with Chrome. If you want to set Chromium as your default web browser, replace each instance of google-chrome.desktop below with chromium-browser.desktop

1. Open your home folder, browse to /etc/gnome

2. Right click on defaults.list and Open as Administrator

3. Look for the lines:

Hello!

I wonder if Linux Lite comes with multimedia support, codecs, plugins etc?

Hugs!
