I have a Dell Inspiron laptop with 4GB of RAM and an i3 processor. It used to run Linux Lite 3.8 just fine. Now I installed Linux 4.0 and it hasn't really been working since then. I was able to run it on 4.0 at first, but now it doesn't boot and just shows a black loading screen.

I tried inserting the flash drive installer to boot my laptop in safe mode, but each time I do so, the machine just freezes as shown in the photo below. The same thing happens when I insert my 3.8 flash drive installer and attempt to boot in safe mode.

Can anyone please help? I can't use my laptop

Hi Forum. Just joined after installing the lates build of LL. After trying out over 10 flavors I opted for LL and couldn't be happier.
I'm by no means PC or Mac illirated but have been using mostly Windows for over 25 years and still do on my main PC.
So there you have it. Looking forward to learning via this venue and kudos to all who have contributed on the making of this OS.
Cheers.

I don't really like these popup & auto playing videos so many sites like to use. In Firefox it could be stopped by going to about:config & toggling media.autoplay.enabled to false. In Mozillas latest release of Firefox (v.63.0) it's not working. Even with it toggled to false the popup's still appear & auto play in v.63.0. Anyone have a suggestion to fix this, without resorting to a 3rd party app? Thanks for any & all help.

Greetings everyone,
I too am experiencing very slow boot up times.From a previous post about this, I entered systemd-analyze blame and here is the output:
1min 5.921s vboxadd.service

Does anyone know what I can do to speed up boot time based on this output ?
Thanks,

I have continued on with investment monitoring tools for Linux Lite 4.0 and now have a sound shell script for dealing with stock prices, and will next finish one for crypto-currency. It requires no ruby or nodejs and npm package manager. Just good old shell code utilizing wget, gnuplot, figlet and fim. See the link below.

Crap! Just updated my Linux Lite OS and it updated Thunderbird, and now the Lightning calendar extension no longer works. That was the only thing I found that let me set up recurring events satisfactorily. Can anyone suggest something? I need to set up reminders on a monthly basis, but also on a bi-weekly basis.

Just added a 'Previous Versions' Download link on our Download page. Believe it or not, I get emails asking where people can get previous copies of LL. Now it's simple, fast and free

Download button now added to Forum Menu too.

Hello,

this arrived today and I just wanted to share about it.
This is Plug and Play straight out of the box with Linux Lite.
It is a regular sized dongle for 2.4Ghz b/g/n, WEP, WPA, WPA2, Cisco compatible. RT3070L Chipset.
It comes with an external RP-SMA dipole antenna of 5dBi, it is 1000mW/30dBm.
It claims to be "the strongest of its type on the market".
This is the strongest wifi adapter I have used with its default antenna.

This dongle supports monitor mode and packet injection.

Its antenna is removable/interchangeable.

In use this dongle finds 12 AP's in about 2 seconds, 1 extra in another 5 seconds, 1 extra 10 seconds later.
It finds of the 14, 13 AP's, 1 security cam.
This is good as in the same location and using the same set up, with my new AWUS036ACH which has 2 antennas I only found 4 Ap's and all 4 had much lower signal strength than with this dongle.
In addition to the LinSSID scans, I also browsed and searched online for a while with it, and it works well.

Hope it is useful info

Hello,
does anyone know how to set it up, and so it runs with a free mapping software ?

So in the AppFinder, if I type "Terminal", two Xfce Terminal options show. Hovering over both of them, they both say Terminal Emulator. However one brings up the Properties for terminal. How do I prevent this? Sometimes the one on top is the terminal, sometimes the one on top is properties. I'd rather only see the Terminal Emulator one. Thanks
