I have an old lenovo T61 Thinkpad with the monitor no longer working. I've connected an external monitor to it and use it instead. However, when I put the LinuxLite Live CD and run it, all I get is the background image with no menus. I think what is happening is the Live CD thinks the external monitor is a 2nd monitor instead of the main one. I can right-click and get a terminal and the link to the support forums but no way to get to an install button or link.

Does anyone know how I could reconfigure the monitor setup using the terminal in LinuxLite?

Thanks in advance,

I installed LL 4.2 recently from ISO. I am having problems with Install Updates repositories. Here is the error log. What I think I need is a list of the correct repository sources.

My laptop is dual boot, windows 10 and LL 4.2. Since yesterday i noticed that my download speed on LL is slow, i have a 200 mbit connection and on LL i get a max of 30-40 mbit/sec download, the upload is good, about 250 mbit/sec. When i boot into windows i dont have that problem, download there is 205 mbit and upload 250 mbit.


This has not always been like this, before i had normal download speed on LL. I can't figure out what is causing this problem.


Just booted LL from usb stick and tested download speed. It was fine, 205 Mbit/sec


Fixed by reinstalling LL4.2. Marked as solved

I would like to install LL on my main home pc but would like to know if anybody else here has a similar setup.
I looked in your hardware database but did not see the hardware there.

How is the compatibility for this?

CPU - 2700x
Video - Vega 64
Motherboard - AMD x470 chipset
SSD - 2x M.2 SSD PCIe Drives

I mainly use this for video editing and light gaming.

I have a 60TB server at home that I can only access via windows computers.

Any time I try and access it with a linux pc it says "Failed to Open File System".

I'm guessing because it is using the windows ReFS system.

Any ideas how to access this via linux?

I have a Realtek RTL8822BE 802.11ac PCLe adapter but i am unable to select wifi because the option is not available when i click on the network icon in the panel.
Wifi works fine on windows 10 but not in Linux Lite

 


Is this ppa needed?

I installed linuxlite on a Gateway Core 2 1.6Ghz machine this afteroon. During installation, I accepted the default user name "linuxlite" and noticed a message that the install was as "superuser." The install went smoothly and I am able to login as user linuxlite with the password I supplied. However, any attempt to install software (e.g., Chromium) asks for a password and the password that I used for install is not accepted. Any attempt to invoke sudo in a terminal window also fails to accept the password.

One possibly related note: The first thing I tried after install was to type a note in text editor. The keyboard translation was all screwed up (e.g., 'p' produced '*'). I Googled and found the Shift+fn+Scroll numlock solution which includes going to Control Panel / Keyboard and unchecking the "Restore numlock state on start up" box. Thinking that this might possibly have something to do with the sudo password problem, I tried sudo with a normal keyboard password and sudo with the numlock password and neither works. Yet, I can still reboot the machine and sign in successfully as user linuxlite and the same password I supplied during installation.

I would hate to have to do the install all over again but won't be able to use LinuxLite without being able to install needed software and being able to use sudo in a terminal.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I have installed LinuxLite 4.2 onto a USB flash drive from a DVD containing the .iso. I tried to be very careful but something went badly wrong.

Here are the symptoms I have now:

• Booting from the HD with no USB device results in the prompt: grub rescue>
  
• Booting from the USB fails. I just see eternally a non responsive black screen with an underscore cursor at the top.
  
• Booting from the HD with a the USB device displays a menu where I can choose to boot Linux Lite or Windows 10. They both will boot successfully.
  

Any insights or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I am thinking of getting the Boot Repair Tool and hacking with that but I am kind of in the dark here.

TIA, ~Randy
