As always, with the exception of Pulse audio equalizer.  Install without a hitch.  Pulse audio equalizer, via Jerrys prompt reply, Lite is what I have come to appreciate since 2.0.  Exceptional.  Lite always recognizes my crappy VGA monitor due to my broken laptop screen.  Thanks to all. My first effort with linux was lite 2.0 on a 32bit Dell pentium 4 with 1.5 gb ram. Burned and played 1080 videos with nary a hitch. That is when I ditched windows.  lol, Tried win 10 upgrade on this Dell laptop.  It worked, but, long gone now. I just put lite 4 on this old Dell a few hours ago.  Cheap 32gb ssd. As always, it just works.i still maintain the original install at 2.0.  Samsung 250gb that came with the laptop.  Lite 3.8 on that from 2.0.  I had uptime for 7 days and it did not miss a beat.  Amazing!  Idles at about 400mb.  In that week I did hours of video converaion via winff.  Again, thanks to Jerry and the crew.

Hi all

The reviews of Lite 4.0 are great and it looks terrific running live. The install went without issue except that on reboot there is no keyboard and no trackpad/mouse at the login screen. The cursor flashes a few times then stops. I can't get to a command line to try a fix. The notebook is essentially bricked.

Specs
Asus U31S
CPU Intel Core i3 380M / 2.53 GHz
Nvidia graphics card but using the Nouveau video driver. Nvidia driver was not installed.
Four GB memory.

I have had no similar problem with any other recent distro (Ubuntu Mate, Solus Mate, Archlabs).

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Cant thank you folks enough.  Went to linux due to Lite 2.0, Just installed 4.0. As always, a pleasure. I have 3.8 on a seperate hdd on an old dell 1545 laptop since 3.0.  NOT 1 CRASH. it boggles my mind. I have tried 25 plus distros in 4 years and Lite seems to always pass some nagging wifi and display problems.  Thanks to Jerry and the crew.  BTW, very quick reply to the pulse audio EQ question I asked.  Amazing.  Spent hours in support forums for my secondary Mint 18.3 XFCE install with zero results.  Again, thanks.

The new LO in LL 4.0 seems to have at least moved or removed the memory settings that used to be >Tools>Options>Memory. Now it is a little more complicated. Memory settings are something that can make a performance difference for LO and big files on some 4gig RAM machines. It took me a few minutes to grasp the changes so some other users may have problems too.

Many of you will have heard of this proposed Link Tax with its requirement for sites to install expensive filter software. The Electronic Frontier Foundation say it could even put Wikipedia off the internet.

If that sounds scary, just read the whole article https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/06/eu...-wikipedia

The EU committee of 9 MEPs will vote on this in a few days - see Mozilla https://changecopyright.org/en-US/?utm_s...rm=4724172  their vote will carry a lot of weight.

OpenMedia have long campaigned for internet freedom - lots of info there https://openmedia.org/en/int

I booted up and most of my programs are not opening, they show I clicked on them but do not open. Firefox, thunderbird, backup and restore, uninstall etc. I heve rebooted and repaired broken pkgs. repaired boot loader but nothing helped. Terminal works and I was able to open system summary but hardly anything else.I have been using this computer to get comfortable with linux so I am not well versed with the operations but I would like to try to repair it and get some use out of it. If I have to format and start over I would not lose anything important.

Forum: Installing Linux Lite
- Replies (2)

Hi there... I'm a windows user coming to Linux for the 1st time.. as I wanted to try something new and lite weight to run on one of my old laptops... I was able to get BunsenLabs working fine.. but found the usage to be hard to grasp.. so google told me that this is a good "distro" to use for windows users who are beginners and also runs well on low power systems.

  • I downloaded the ISO fomr your website.
  • I used "Win32DiskImager" to copy the ISO onto my USB stick
  • It booted fine
  • I loaded the application and had a play around.. seems ok and I liked the familiar feeling of it
  • Clicked the Install Icon and followed the wizard
  • The app asks me to "reboot"
  • I remove the USB disk and roboot

So this is where the problems starts... it seems to be working.. but kinda not working. All I get is a blank screen after much hard drive thrashing, I even get a small "wait" kind of circle icon appear... and I tried pressing "enter" and "f4"... enter dosn't seem to do anything F4 shows some text, that says "press enter" and pressing that will go back to blank screen and I again see the "wait" cirle dot thing for a bit... if I leave it long enough eventually the screen goes dark apart form a small underscore in the top left hand corner. ENTER and F4 do not do anything now.

Any ideas?

I am trying to install on a HP COMPAQ 6710b
