  Trouble installing Virtual Moon Atlas
Posted by: [email protected] - 12-15-2024, 02:36 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (1)

I've downloaded Virtual Moon Atlas.  My first attempt at installing VMA told me that I needed Lihpasastro.  After downloading and installing Lihpasastro, that error went away, but, after installing VMA, it told me that I needed to remove it and install it in the correct directory.  I removed it, but I don't know what directory to use for VMA nor do I know how to tell Linux to install VMA in that directory.  Any help with this would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Question Failure to start Virtual Console
Posted by: beneix - 11-25-2024, 03:07 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

I tried starting a Virtual Console by pressing CRTL+ALT+F1. It gave me the following messages:

Code:

Code:
         Starting smbd.service - Samba SMB Daemon...

[  OK  ] Finished plymouth-quit-wait.service - Hold until boot process finishes up.

[FAILED] Failed to start casper-md5check.service - casper-md5check Verify Live ISO checksums.

Then it was just hanging and I had to hard restart.

I asked Linux Lite AI for advice and it told me to do the same thing. What can I do differently to access the non-graphical environment?

  No drivers available for Nvidia 710M
Posted by: beneix - 11-25-2024, 11:38 AM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (2)

I get the following readout of lshw:

Code:
  *-display                
       description: 3D controller
       product: GF117M [GeForce 610M/710M/810M/820M / GT 620M/625M/630M/720M]

However, when I try to follow the guide to replace nouveau with Nvidia driver, I get no results in the "Additional Drivers" section. How can I get the driver installed for my Nvidia 710M?

Decent site I ran across recently. Maybe LL should be up there too. Many distros are including Ubu and Deb.

  Error installing along side Windows 10
Posted by: [email protected] - 11-09-2024, 03:03 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (15)

I chose to install Linux Lite 7.2 along side Windows 10.  No errors showed during the install, but, when I booted the machine, I did not get a choice of which OS to boot.  Instead, Linux Lite 7.2 came up.  So, I took a look using the Disks app in LL and found Windows in Partition 2 using 412 GB formatted NTFS.  I decided it wouldn't hurt to try and mount the partition.  This is what I got:

Error mounting /dev/sda2 at /media/linuxlite/windows:
Wrong fs type
bad option
bad superblock on /dev/sda2
missing codepage or helper program or 
other error (udisks-error-quark,0)

I have no idea what to do to try and get Windows back intact - if that's possible.  
Please help if you can.

  Live boot unable to launch chrome
Posted by: me269 - 11-08-2024, 10:33 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

Hello

I have been using a Linux Lite 7.0 live boot DVD to check that everything seems to be working ok on my laptop prior to installation. Most things seem to be functioning ok but I cannot launch the internet browser. When I click the Chrome icon from the system tray nothing happens and when I try to open the support manual I get the following message:

"Failed to execute default web browser. input/output error"

After a quick search on my phone I managed to get it to open using the command line
google-chrome --no-sandbox

However I am reluctant to go ahead with the installation if this is going to be a persistent problem. Is this something that could be associated to the live boot settings? I should add that I have used the same live boot DVD to install Linux Lite on a different laptop and did not have this issue.

Results from inxi are pasted below. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thank you.

Matthew
