Is it possible to roll back an  update?

I never got this issue resolved so any help would be appreciated.
btw Happy Thanksgiving Smile


After update get an error message " out of scan range 38.46 KHZ / 36 HZ "
The monitor must not have the correct resolution. The problem is I can't find a way to change the settings because all you can see is  just a black screen with the error message.

Tried a different monitor without success.

Your help is greatly appreciated

I tried this https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/hardw...ml#booting

Still having the same problem

Only works with the live CD  Sad

I was thinking of installing two copies of LL4.0 on the same drive, but am unsure if grub will recognise and list both of these.
The purpose for two installs is as follows:

(1) One LL4.0 install for experimentation: e.g. test out English Bob's ideas for modifying LL4.0, as described at https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/tutor...ard-users/ 

If it breaks, while trying things out, it doesn't matter as it's not my main driver. Yes, while I could use a virtual machine for experimentation, I'm not too keen on this as I've found that VMs don't behave in exactly the same way as normal installs, e.g. video drivers are different, etc.

(2) The other LL4.0 install as my main driver: for all my day-to-day tasks & work



However, will grub recognise two separate installs of LL4.0 and list these on the grubscreen on booting? I suspect it may only list one of them. Is there a way around this?

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

A quick question.....installing LL on a usb drive....on the option to use the entire disk...If I choose this, will it just erase the usb drive?  I don't want to wipe out my hard drive....I don't know how to use Something Else and make partitions...LL is already on the usb drive and I'm trying to install it on the usb so I can get the updates.

Installed LL 4.0 on this Laptop tonight.


The Owner was on the verge of suicide with Windows 10.


No problems at all with the Install.


But when I went to Menu Logout.......There was a Logout option but no Shutdown option.


Never seen this before..... :Smile


The only option is to shutdown from the Terminal

Hi all, I want to know if trim is indeed working on my NTFS hard drive in Linux Lite 3.8?
I have 2 SSD's in my laptop one is the main one with LL 3.8 the other is another one thats NTFS.
I ran the command fstrim --all -v and this is the output:



root@Dell-E6330:~# fstrim --all -v
/mnt/84786FC9786FB896: 16 EiB (18446744073709551615 bytes) trimmed
/: 207.7 GiB (222991659008 bytes) trimmed




where is says /mnt/ I'm not sure but it looks like that would be my NTFS drive and the one below that shows 207.7 would be my main LL drive thats ext4. Because it shows 2 entries that are trimmed.

I just came across NTFS-3G which was installed when I checked install/remove software. I also read that it does support Trim with NTFS.



Thanks

I'm re-posting this since initially I posted this query in the Tutorial section by accident, which was dumb because it's not where it belongs Smile

This concerns Linux Lite 4 as a Guest in VirtualBox. The installation went flawlessly. Just as in Linux Lite 3.8, the guest-dkms, utils and X11 are already there, the screen resolution gives me full screen, everything, just as in 3.8, seems ready out of the box.

So in 3.8 there was no need to install the guest additions from the CD; following OS installation, the shared folders were listed in the file manager, and after adding myself to the vboxsf group and rebooting, I was able to access them

Not so in 4.0 . Everything seems to be just as it is in 3.8, so I added myself to the vboxsf group again. But my shared folders don't turn up, there's no entry in the file manager, nor in /media, and I have no idea what went wrong. I even installed the guest additions from CD which promptly messed up everything, so I reinstalled 4.0, but am facing the same shared folder problem.

I'd be grateful if someone could shed light on this and possibly indicate a solution of the problem :-)

Hi, I use a physical hard drive for my main machine and LL is currently my everyday distribution.  My current scheme has an extended partition, with a shared swap partition "at the front", 3 distros, and a sharing partition at the back. But this scheme was a little too ambitious, so I'm going down to only two distros.

My question is, now that LL is now going to a swap file, instead of a swap partition, does my swap partition for a secondary distro need to be my first partition or can my new scheme be LL4/swap partition/secondary distro? In other words, does my secondary distro care where physically the swap partition is?

Hi -- I installed LL4.0 a few days ago, onto the same old laptop I was using with LL3.8 before. Now when I boot, I see an error screen that says:
"Error: diskfilter writes are not supported.
Press any key to continue..."

I've done some Googling, and it apparently comes from GRUB. It seems to have something to do with drive partitions? I definitely don't understand the problem or the answer.
https://askubuntu.com/questions/468466/d...281#498281

It would be nice to get rid of the error. Any help would be appreciated! Should the installation process have made different partitioning choices?
