NumLock is on default, so I have to turn it off whenever I log in to the computer. How can I change that?

Greetings,

Id like to try Clementine or something similar but am having trouble installing it. The downloads page appears to have versions for a whole lot of Ubuntu flavors, and I tried one of them (the Willy one), to no avail. I also tried downloading the source and following some instructions for the terminal, but when the terminal asks for my password, I'm unable to type anything in.

Thanks for considering!

Well I’ve learned to ask before getting into trouble!

I wish to put LL 3.4 on an old Dell D800 whose specs are: Intel® Pentium® M processor 2.00 GHz, 799 MHz, RAM 768 MB, HD of 40 GB

This time I did fire it up and can see that Win XP loaded fine, WiFi works and connects. I then did a temporary boot order change when I turned it on again and had my LL 3.4 USB in the slot. It brought up the initial screen where you can choose to run or install etc. I clicked on run as I wanted to make sure it would work and this is the message I got:

WARNING: PAE disabled. Use parameter ‘forcepae’ to enable at your own risk! This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU

I’m not sure what to do, if I can do anything. I’d love to run Linux Lite on this machine. Or at least some type of Linux OS (Puppy Linux..? But likely won’t I run into the same thing?

Thanks I advance.

I was wondering the other day how security works with LL and the privileges/access to computer that the password provides.


LL has 1 password which is used to login with - the same password is used as a root/admin password. How does that work? Surely having the same password for both means that the distro is therefore vulnerable as permission is given, following logon, for anything out there to make changes to your computer ... ???

Comparing with two other distros that I have been using:

PCLinuxOS has 3 passwords: a Security password (for allowing changes to grub); a Root or Admin password, and a separate Login password.

Manjaro has 2 passwords: one for Login and one for Root/Admin privileges.

i am a strange person, i find some odd games sometimes, i had this game when i Had windows XP, it is a aids awareness game, and it does get alittle challenging, it would be funny if some how one could play this on Linux, ha ha .

here is the link to this guys youtube video of him playing this game.

In anticipation of Linux Lite 4 LTS, I have made myself another boot splash:

Couldn't help myself had to get all over this with the pics last night/early this morning

Linux Lite updates starts but then says "updates have been canceled"

it started breaking after i installed a ricoh printer

workaround

aptitude (as root) or synaptic (as root) work fine on their own but do display a warning

I have a Virtual Machine that I haven't used in awile that is still on v3.4 that I wan't to update to 3.8.  The Updates on 3.4 fail, so I decided to install v3.8 on top of 3.4 which seemed to work fine, except that I can't update v3.8 due to problems with the program sources.  I've attached a copy of the error log in the event that it helps, but I'm wondering I can get a copy of the correct sources from somewhere and replace them.  I don't recall adding any PPAs that were non-standard to this install.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Is there any way to force a reinstall to clean up a system when an update goes bad, or is the only way to fix things to wipe and start from scratch?
