Linux Lite Forums

hi, I'm new here as in the linux world. I installed latest version of Lite (32bits) from an usb, on my dell inspiron 1012 netbook(old and slow netbook that I think could revive with this OS)  without any problem.  After the instalation finished I quit the usb and Lite started as expected even with the wifi controller installed fine (that could have bring problems as I read on different website I checked before installing the OS). Then I applied the latest update just fine and when the update processes finish Lite ask me to restart the netbook. I did that and after that the OS stays stack in the Lite log and I couldn't log into the system again.  I do not see any message, when restarting no matter which option choose from the lite boot menu,  the OS does not start as expected.  How can I check what is falling in order to search for a proper solution?  Which keys should I press or menus should I choose  to see a log or some message?

Thanks for any help,

If hanging press ESC that should bypass the splash screen and show the boot process.
I have a Dell mini 10 believe its similar to your 1012, i run LL3.8 no problems.
You may be able to start with advanced options then choose the earliest kernel.

Hi, thanks for the answer.
Nothingh happens when I press ESC in the splash screen, the lite logo is still shown and I do not see the log process 

UPDATE
I restarted the netbook and then selected "Advanced options for Linux Lite...". There I have a menu with several options, I choosed Linux 4.4.0-116-generic - recovery mode. Everythins seems to be ok and the recovery menu is shown.
After choosing the option to start normally it freezes in the following check:

[OK]Started Load/Save RF Kill Switch Status

Hi, finally I could find the reason why my netbook was not starting.

This was the reason:
Starting Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of leds:dell::kbd_backlight...

I found the solution in the following page https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1253523.

So I'm going to mark this as SOLVED.

Thanks!
