  OS not booting in VirtualBox
Posted by: catgrep - 10-26-2022, 01:14 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

I hadn't run my LinuxLite VM in several months, so when I booted up, there were a lot of updates.  I installed all the updates and rebooted, now I get a black screen and a blinking cursor before it loads the logon screen and will go no further.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to show the bootloader menu or enter a safe/recovery mode so I can restore from a snapshot?  Any help recovering from this catastrophe is greatly appreciated.

  Why gimp is not showing bottom information even when its opened in fullscreen?
Posted by: Lucas Jstn - 10-25-2022, 07:41 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

My issue is that I can't see the information of the content which is positioned in the bottom of the gimp window. Things like, size and the tools presset are hidden. I already tried to resize but it only resizes horizontally.

  Instaling LL 6
Posted by: jeffvanderdoes - 10-25-2022, 03:39 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

Hi all,


Need some assistance with installing LL6.  I'd like to install coexisting with windows 10.  I have in windows 50 GB of unallocated space but could not figure how to configure in install.  Next i partioned it in windows so I have /sd4 formatted as ntfs (which i had hoped I could reformat to what ll6 needs ext4) but still could not figure out the install options to make it work.  I've read through install manual but am unsure quite how to make it work in disk config section of install.


Anybody able to provide some added insight?


Thanks in advance,
Jeff

  Stuck on "Preparing ubuntu drivers..."
Posted by: roebern - 10-24-2022, 06:22 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

Hi all,

I'm trying to install Linux Lite on an old Think X131e, however in the installation process it seems to be stuck on "installing ubuntu-drivers..."

I have no way to tell if it is really stuck or actually making progress and just taking a really long time. Is there a way to escape the GUI and see some sort of log?

Thanks!

  Removing Chrome Browser
Posted by: Hounslow 485 - 10-24-2022, 10:42 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)

Hi, all.

Thank you in advance for your help. I did search the forum, but couldn't find an answer.

I love Linux Lite but don't wish to use Chrome. In fact, I'd like to remove it completely in favour of another browser as my default. I understand that I could easily add another browser of my choice and just not use Chrome, but I'd like to purge the latter completely. I remember reading somewhere that it is not a good idea to remove applications that come with the base build of an OS, so I was wondering:

1. How do you remove Chrome from Lite?
2. Will removing it in favour of another browser have an adverse effect on the stability or usability of the system?

Once again, thanks for the help.

A.

  Install Tiktok desktop software
Posted by: Kevin Perez - 10-19-2022, 05:25 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (1)

Hey there,

I unfortunately am unable to install Tiktok on my smartphone. Plus, when I try to read my messages on TikTok's website, it tells me, "[This message type isn't supported. Download the TikTok app to view this message.]" Given all this, I wish to install it on my desktop. After several different searches, I was unable to accomplish this.

What do you guys recommend? Please do your best to answer my question directly, rather than simply tell me not to install it. Thank you.

  G'day Mates
Posted by: wizardfromoz - 10-19-2022, 06:26 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (5)

G'day all.  Smile

Thought it was about time I signed up here, since I have been using the product since before the UEFI was introduced in the 4.x series.

Also, I am hoping to have someone fast-track me in navigation so that I can post a Thread checking to see if Jerry and the LL Team are aware of a problem for Timeshift that will be coming with the release of Ubuntu's Kinetic Kudu point release imminently.

This, in so far as it might adversely affect a future release of Linux Lite.

Thanks in advance.
