I tried to run Linux Lite "live" and was plagued with constant lagging and extremely slow "bootup" and D/l-install speeds. For example, it took just over 3 mins. from initial start to 'operarting" screen. Made a mistake and 'updated" from pkg. mgr.; after 40 mins I quit. Even moving files from LL to another pendrive was excruciatingly slow. I used to have LM 17.3 on the same pendrive and never experienced these types of  maladies. So, I'm inviting discussion about running it 'live" as well as any 'fixes" I may be able to apply. I'm running LL on a Lexar 8 Gb 2.0 drive. (Please don't start in about the drive...it is working well and did so when 17.3 was installed). I think I'd like to run LL, but I don't know...maybe it's just not cut out for "live".

Hi,
used Light in Virtual BOX. After latest update it fails after first rebot on "Started Update UTMP about System Runlevel Changes" line
Found info on web about the issue ...
Many mentioned that the problem is related to Video driver problem after update (different distros mentioned).
I followed this:
****
Just had this problem. CWO's solution helped, except because I'm running it as a VM the alt key combo didn't work; I booted into advanced mode, then recovery.
Ran apt-get -f install let it do it's thing.

Working distro!
******************
Unfortunately, not works for me after running      apt-get -f install    I get : 3 packages not needed and could be removed by autoremove... When try to autoremove it fails. But files mentioned for autoremove are not related to Video as mentioned by many on web. So I am lost... Don't want to switch to another distro (basically it may happen with any others as I saw).
Just to be sure... I installed fresh VM from lates Light ISO available and after first update the same story it fails...
Hope somebody here can help.

Looking to update to Version 4.0 in June.  What kernel is recommended for that version?

Antes que nada mis mas sinceras felicitaciones por esta Distro que esta Genial es muy buena para usuarios novatos y no tan novatos también, rápida y muy intuitiva. Y que nos permite usar esos equipos que los Señores Windows dicen que ya son obsoletos.

Instale y todo perfecto, no se si cometí algún error pero al quitar el ingles y cambiar el idioma a español todos (o casi todos) los programas o aplicaciones están en español pero el sistema como tal sigue en su mayor parte, digamos que un 90%, en ingles.

Ejemplo del idioma en la pantalla de la consola:
[b][b][b][i][i]ljimenez@ofiteclj:~$ apt-get update
Reading package lists... Done

Al hacer cualquier ajuste o instalación de programa vía consola me da este error:

    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to a fallback locale ("es_VE.UTF-8").

Por favor pueden instruirme en que debo hacer para resolver esto?

Gracias.

I installed linux-lite-3.8-64bit.iso and all went good until ubiquity crashed. I'm not sure if the error report was send.
After that I tried to first update/upgrade the live system but it turned out that it wouldn't succeed because there was no more space left on /

Luckily I could start Linux Lite after applying grub-mkconfig and grub-install on another installed Linux distro.

BTW, why are image files not allowed as attachments?

Hi All

I'm trying to revive a Fujitsu Amilo 1705 with an 120gb SSD and installing 'Lite' 3.6. as the sole OS.

Further to my post ' Cannot install lite on SSD' I have 'Lite' loaded in safe mode but cannot find 'terminal'. Any ideas where I can find it?

Once I find it, what code can I use to find the hard drive and rename it C: instead of E: and is there anything I can do to help the computer and Lite recognise it?

Many thanks.

P.s Looks like the computer knows the SSD is there so why does Lite not recognise it?

A lack of display adjustment application and dissatisfaction with colour rendition, led me to find a commandline application for gamma adjustment.

xgamma -gamma g.g    where g.g is a value between about 0.2 and 2.0

Individual rgb settings can also be changed:

    -rgamma g.g            Red Gamma Value
    -ggamma g.g            Green Gamma Value
    -bgamma g.g            Blue Gamma Value

Hi all.

After 18 months of trying to get Mint to load I thought I'd try 'Lite' and not having to much luck so far. See my post 'Cannot install Lite on SSD'

Another interesting point is that when registering for this forum I could not get confirmation email via Hotmail................?  Odd?

Anyway - looking forward to happier times in 'Lite'.

Regards

Hi all

I'm trying to revive a Fujitsu Amilo 1705 with an 120gb SSD and installing 'Lite' 3.6.

So far, I can get Lite to display the initial pages in 'safe' mode but it will not load onto the SSD.
From (my) memory it displays a panel with various tabs for internet, installing software et al. I couldn't get it to do anything else, so I figured  the only way forward seemed to go for the desktop option to install on a hard drive - which didn't work as it couldn't see the SSD.

SSD has been formatted NTFS and given a E: label since I had to do this on my main W10 (urghh!) and I'm wary of confusing and crashing it so rather than give it an c: - I settled on E;. It is the only drive on the Fujitsu.

I did use MBR as it seemed in sync with an old computer.

If it is a NTFS problem I'm not sure what to change it too or how to. I'm using Western digital data lifeguard diagnostics.

Any thoughts?

Laptop doesnt boot anymore, i disabled and after a reboot enabled trim and now i cant boot laptop. I am asked for a login name and password. My username and password do not work.
