(SOLVED) I was running linuxlite 3.8 back in November and laptop would freeze after 20 minutes or so... Got it fixed by getting the info I needed (changed a line in grub or something). I just upgraded to Linuxlite 4.0 and it has started again. I can't find the information now. I think I had to add a line of commands to grub or something. I wish I could remember. Anybody have any ideas?[/color]

Try to reconfigure the grub:
sudo update-grub --output=/mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg
Maybe you will have to fully recover the grub according to the instructions
here (NB: the page is in Russian, translate it in Chromium-browser or using other means). Good luck!
Thanks..I will give it a try.
Tried to reconfigure grub...."directory non-existent"
I looked at the article....way above my pay grade. Thanks anyway.

Certainly, the
directory SHALL be
non-existent, until you
mount the device with your Linux! 8)
Do you remember the terminal command? Here it is:

mnt =
mount the
boot partition for the
grub
Open
gparted (it should be included in the distro) to see what number is the
sda partition of the
device with your prior Linux (in case you have several Linux'es on your HDD).
I have my Linux on
/dev/sda6 (your number may be different).
When you find out the number of
your sda partition, do the following (step by step):
sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
sudo update-grub --output=/mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg
Change "6" for YOUR number in the first command!!!
Wait until every command finishes successfully.
That's it! Enjoy!
Thank you so much....I give up. I re-installed 3.8. Nice to be on familiar ground.

This is what I used to fix my laptop when I installed linuxlite 3.8 in January. I have found it again and have used it on Linuxlite 4.0....so far so good.

If it's solved, then please mark it as such. It is not just the forum policy, it also saves time for us others. Thanks!
I tried to do that...unable to find where to do it so I wrote Solved at the head of the latest post.
