Linux Lite Forums

Sorry for less then detail error as there no error code or a blue screen 
Started computer twice gets to same point like the computer goes straight to passed login screen then I get a black screen with black arrow white outline. The mouse moves about screen but there nothing to click on. I rebooted and got the something.



Don't know why this has happened I not updated or install any new software.
Hope this is east to fix.

Thanks

Hi Dyslexic1,

Are you booting from the hard drive (after installing LL), a live CD, or a live USB?

Hi Scott

I should have said booting from hard drive have been using Linux for about six weeks now.
Was hoping just by rebooting would fix.

I looked at Goggle but don't know what this error called as not numbers.

Thanks

Thanks for the information. I'm honestly not sure how to go about troubleshooting this, be patient  and hopefully someone will come along soon and help.

Did you md5sum the iso before burning or install?

Do you give a password to login? The moment your PC hangs is when it's trying to load the window manager I suppose. Try to press CTRL+ALT+F1 to go to a terminal. With the CTRL+ALT+F7 you return to the X environment.

Greets Maestros!

Same issue here, after having used LL 1.8 and then 2.0 altogether for a few months (installed on HD, in a multi-boot Win 7 environment).  At the latest release LL 2.0 64-bit no problem was found until about 2 weeks ago I selected install updates. Since then black screen with a lonely arrow is the protagonist - but ONLY with root/admin, not with simple users (and all log ins require a password)!
And Power off button is the only escape route.
EDIT : WRONG, TERMINAL IS OK, SEE BOTTOM PART

Anyway could I use command SU or SUDO properly, or would in User Management granting SUDO rights to my simple user be functioning, no trouble would I have. (Though, spent 2 hours with trying and net reading, also in LL manual).

Some help would be fine.

(inxi -F is not installed, should anything be presented?)
------

off: LL seems to be a very Great Distro after the many bloated and / or unstable, slow ones, used in last 4 years - thanx for it.

----EDIT: some success with terminal

Thanx for great info,

CTRL+ALT+F1 invoked terminal nicely in this no-GUI log-in case, where I could grant privileges to anyone
reboot
log out

As couldn't summon X GUI with the other key-shortcut.

Thanks all
Liunx lite is the only os on computer. 
When loading black bar get about 3/4 then logs straight in. I did have password to login before.

I try CTRL+ALT+F1 hot to log on
But I don't remember my full user ID ;o numbers after name.

So I tried SU & Sudo then password but get Login incorrect. 

T160 login - The T160 is the name of my second drive, not were os is loaded.

How can I find out the only user ID on computer please?

I'm using my phone to post this please excuse spelling errors.

To find user IDs on the computer, in a terminal type this:

At the end of the list the user IDs should start at 1000. Here's my user ID, for example:

In this case my user ID is 1001

I hope this helps.
