Installing Netflix

I have Linux Lite 1.0.8...I tried that code initially and it  installed and opened up Netflix but the movies wouldn't play.  I think I will just be content with what I have...a working computer when I thought it was dead for good.  Thanks for the info, however!

Jerry:
In Linux Lite 2.0 all you'll need to do is:


--- Code: ---sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop
--- End code ---

Hello!

Sounds like you had a 512 MB stick and a 256 MB stick installed, and the 256 MB stick was removed, leaving 512 MB RAM. Even with Linux Lite, there's only so much one can do with that small an amount of memory.

Using the T3882 number you gave me, I found out that you can use 2 1 GB sticks to go to 2 GB of RAM. Online, the memory sticks run about $60 or so for the pair.

May God richly bless you and yours, also...

I'm not sure what is what but under emachines is T3882 if that means anything.  I think it now has less than 1GB because when my friend opened the case, he found two sticks of ram that he said didn't work well together because they were "different"...he said I don't even know how this PC even worked at all.  I have no idea what he meant or how that even happened.  I don't recall ever having work done on it before XP expired.  So...he just removed the smaller of the two sticks and left one in.  There must only be two slots because the guy at Office Max told me there was no way it could be upgraded to the 2 GB I would need to install Windows 7.  So...I will just let this go as my PC is running well with Linux Lite as is.  Thanks, though, for your continued interest.  GOD bless!  Linda

Hello!

I'm sorry, too.

Depending on the type of memory you have, how many memory slots you have, and the specs on your computer, you MIGHT be able to upgrade it to what you need (1 GB or more; preferably 2 GB). The problem is that if it's DDR memory, it's roughly $30-$35 per 1 GB stick, depending on whether it's a desktop or laptop. If it's DDR2, the price is somewhat less.

Laptops usually have two memory slots; desktops can either have two or four, depending on the motherboard.
I'd have to know the make and exact model number of your PC to be able to know for certain. That information is usually on a decal affixed to the outside of the PC or laptop, or listed on the first page of the BIOS settings.
