  Adobe Flash Player

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! Smile

I just updated & upgraded LL and noticed that adobe flash player got installed, why is that? Chromium doesn't support it anymore so there's no point in using it.

  How do I remove lines from GRUB that no longer work?
Posted by: Von Kirkus - 12-13-2020, 09:01 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (8)

After getting Linux 5.0 to update successfully my GRUB menu looks like this, but only the first 2 lines and last 2 lines run the machine.
I don't want to break my system while I am trying to learn Linux. I still need Windows to run some of my applications, but my older laptop certainly runs Linux much faster and works great for the virtual classes I'm doing right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

*Ubuntu                                                        When selected boots into Linux 5.0 updated normally
  Advanced options for Ubuntu                          Opens options normally
  Windows Boot Manager (on /dev/sda1)            Tries to boot Windows, but ends at blue Windows error boot recovery options screen
  Linux Lite 4.8 (18.04) (on /dev/sda4)              Goes to logon screen, but won't open, just keeps returning to logon screen after P/W
  Advanced options for Linux Lite 4.8 (18.04) (on /dev/sda4)    Same as above on all options
  Linux Lite 5.0 (20.04) (on /dev/sda7)              Goes to logon screen, but won't open, just keeps returning to logon screen after P/W
  Advanced options for Linux Lite 5.0 (20.04) (on /dev/sda7)    Same as above on all options
  Windows Boot Manager  (on  /dev/sbd1)            Boots Windows normally
  UEFI Firmware Settings                                    Opens BIOS settings normally

  Suggestions - Create USB persistent Ubuntu/Linux Lite.
Posted by: BigAl - 12-13-2020, 07:34 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - No Replies

Only use MKUSB. Sardu, Multiboot and others are not suitable eg Multiboot will report completion, but the stick may not boot.

Only use a good, fast USB 3.0 stick my preferred Sandisk 16Gb less than $10.

For some reason or other MKUSB faulted out with me with error '/dev/sda3' could not be mounted. Poweroff and cold boot for dus-persistent to make persistent live drives again!'  I found the method that worked was using MKUSB-PLUG, I still got error, but the stick works.

Sandisk USB boots fast, and Lite provides an excellent bunch of utilities/applications that should satisfy anyones needs.

  Black screen with login
Posted by: param96 - 12-12-2020, 05:18 PM - Forum: Other - No Replies

Hi, I am a linux newbie. I was switching between workspaces in linux lite 5.2. I generally do that by Ctrl+Alt+Right/Left Arrow Keys but this time I was pressing Ctrl+F1/F2. By mistake I pressed Ctrl+Shift+F1 or Ctrl+Shift+F2. A window opened with black screen that reads:

Linux Lite 5.2 LTS parmanand-Inspiron-N4010 tty2
parmanand-Inspiron-N4010 login: _

Is this root user login? If yes, then how can I close this window without logging in as root?

Edit: Never mind. This black screen is a tty virtual console. I got back to my graphical desktop by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7.

  "Weird" behaviour after install LL 5.2
Posted by: eikelein - 12-11-2020, 12:22 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (5)

Frustrated.
I use Linux Lite since version 3.x for those of my older customers that do only web mail and surfing and for whom Windoze is too complex.
I downloaded version 5.2 and created an install USB drive with Balena Etcher!
I did not get asked but the system starts into a text interface of GRUB.
How can I eliminate GRUB?
The computer is an older HP with AMD A8 cpu, 12GB of RAM and a 240GB Crucial SSD; except for the SSD it is a plain vanilla HP machine with more RAM.
TIA
Eike
