Quote:Hi Mike,
Depending on the urgency/ importance you might want to consider waiting for LL 3.0 that is basically around the corner as Jerry pointed out in another post. As LL 3.0 will require a new installation anyway. So you could avoid having to perform two installations within a short time frame. Just crossed my mind while reading your post...
You must have been reading my thoughts LL-user; great minds think alike
.
Yes, it's only till June for LL3.0 & there's no real urgency - I can always play supertuxkart
on my son's laptop till then ...
Cheers
Mike

- gparted doesn't open (either with gui or terminal) - 'hal-lock' issue
- I can burn DVDs (e.g. distro iso files) but recently they aren't recognised
when I try to play them, whereas my older DVDs are recognised and do play
on the same laptop set-up.
I know I sound like a broken record. But being a distro team member myself. On another distro.
I never take anything for granted. Like my iso or delta file not becoming corrupted during the download process.
Since the Linux Mint site hack. Our developer signs the isos now
with posted steps on how this check is done and everything I download goes through a md5sum , sha1sum, inspection process.
So that my testing run reports are legit and credible. So to avoid further ghost in the machine headaches from a corrupted iso download. I suggest you start md5sum checking any linux-lite iso.

Thanks for your offer of help rokytnji but the MD5Sum was checked at the LL2.4 install.
Since then I have been using Lite upgrade to go from 2.4 to 2.6 then 2.8.
I think it's time for a new clean install of 2.8. I probably messed up my LL OS with tinkering around and not really knowing what I was doing.
It's called "learning the slow way!"....
