I would like to install linux lite on a laptop of a friend. I downloaded the last 32bit version of linux mint. With the program xfburn in Kubuntu 16.04, I have burnt a disk image. I used as DVD disk DVD-RW of TX Tink Xtra 4xspeed. But apparently this laptop won't start from DVD. It always starts Windows 7.
The data of this computer is according to BIOS:
Notebook Model: HP Pavilion dv 1000
System Board ID 09B8
Processor Type: Intel® Pentium ® M CPU
Bios Version: F.20
Processor Speed 1.8 GHz
System Memory: 992 MB

As boot order, there is:
ATAPI CD-ROM Drive
+Hard Drive
Network Adaptor
! Floppy Diskette Drive

What can I still try to start this laptop from DVD? I won't yet use a usb stick.


P.S. I live in Belgium and I'm speaking Dutch.

I started using Linux a little less than a month ago, and I'm very happy that I purchased Linux Lite to get me started.

With what I've learned about Linux since I started using it, I almost have the machine I'm using setup to my liking. Once I get my printer working with this machine, I'll probably dis-connect my HP All in One windows 8.1 machine, put it into storage and save as a backup, and go forward using a different machine with a Linux Lite OS, because I think I'm about done with Windows based OS's.

This is a screenshot of my current desktop, and getting to the point I'm at was much easier than I expected a month ago...


 

Just an FYI folks - Due to the share volume of work involved in changing all of our images over to the new artwork, the Forum artwork is now being uploaded. You may need to clear your browsers cache/s to view the new icons.

Graag wil ik linux lite installeren op een laptop van een vriend. Ik heb hiervoor de laatste 32 versie van linux mint gedownload. Met het programma xfburn in Kubuntu 16.04 heb ik een schijfkopie gebrand. Ik gebruikte als DVD DVD-RW van TX Think Xtra. 4XSpeed.
Maar blijkbaar wilt die laptop niet starten vanaf die DVD.

De gegevens van die computer zijn volgens de BIOS:
Notebook Model: HP Pavilion dv 1000
System Board ID 09B8
Processor Type: Intel® Pentium ® M CPU
Bios Version: F.20

Wat kan ik nog proberen om die laptop vanaf DVD te starten? Met usb stick wil ik nog niet doen.

Hi,

I have my browser privacy set to "moderate paranaoia" and so unencrypted sites (www) are blocked. But using Startpage search engine I can use the "proxy" option to view a site and this will usually allow the site to be viewed, in full living colour. I find this very useful for local shops and groups etc. who I know to be ok.

I am assuming Startpage proxy view will not allow anything nasty in which would usually be blocked by my browsers. Am I safe to assume this?  ???

Will LL 4 require a fresh install? Or can I upgrade 3.8 directly to 4?

Hi.

I just got a new problem to my LL installation that have not being an issue earlier.

Using Libre Office now (but that doesn't seem to be the only program affected) when I try to export a file to PDF, the "Export" dialog box stop responding. Only three actions seems possible: Close window x in upper left), maximize window (next to) and right click top of window will get the window menu to appear.
When trying to drag the window around on the screen it let a tail (shadow copies of itself). The only way to proceed is to click the X close window button, that will activate another dialog box that say window is busy and ask if I want to terminate process. Problem is: closing process means loosing data = very bad.

I tried to take a screen shot of the save-as dialog box that frosed, but the save as dialog box for screenshot frozed as well.
I think in both cases I was able to navigate to the folder I wanted the files to be saved, but from there - window frosed. Because both dialog boxes frosed, I guess it is not a LibO issue.

The issue seem to may happens independently of the current folder location of the file-save dalog box. The last one (screen copy) was happening at home dir, while the other one in a bigger partition not located in my home dir.

The computer (Dell Latitude D620) has resently being shut down because of overheating issue. Can that cause such strange OS behaviour somehow?
