Old Acer laptop showed up at my shop yesterday with customer who wanted to replace Windows 7 crashed from Windows Meltdown patch before MS pulled it (Celeron 2.2G CPU). I decided to run it through the progression of installing 3.4 first to get the old kernel. Updated 3.4 to the new kernel .110 no problem. Upgraded to 3.6, installed my plymouth progress bar theme, installed Audacity from Lite software, set Firefox theme and security, added Startpage home, checked for mem-leak after leaving connected all night ---- everything good. Not a single issue. Will upload to hardware DB in a few minutes. This particular processor was known to have had pipe problems with underruns in Linux  depending on the OEM memory addressing. No more. Good work Ubu.

Hello, since i got my computer back after i had trouble with the boot menu my Ethernet connection has stopped working.

The modem i use is a TP-LINK TD-W8960N and the wifi works as i`m using it with my laptop to post on here, but the ethernet does not.

Any help would be appreciated.

Good day all. First time I use a forum to get support, hopefully I’ll get it right.
I have installed Linux lite 3.6 on my PC on dual boot with Win 10. It seems to run well but it doesn't recognize the WI-FI adapter card. (by the way the WI-FI card works well in Win 10) The icon on the bottom right shows the disconnection and obviously it doesn't detect any Wi-Fi. Is there anyone out there able to help? I read all the previous posts but nothing seems to work for my case or some of them are a bit too technical.

Please keep in mind also that I am a ship crew member, therefore I am unable to plug via LAN the PC to a router therefore the only option I have is the Wi-Fi connection.

Here below some PC specs:
Model: HP 255 G6
Card: Intel dual band wireless -AC 3168
CPU: AMD E2-9000e radeon r2, 4 compute cores 2c+2c
1500mhz

Hey guys I am trying to start my twitch channel but very confuse on how to install obs.


God Not dead.

Hi,

I have MacMini 2.1, Core2Duo @ 2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, running Linux Lite 3.6 (x64), kernel 4.4.0-93-generic.

LL runs very smoothly on it. I'm very pleased. The only problem is my MacMini cannot wake after being auto-suspended (based on Power Management setting). What is interesting is that if I see the computer going to sleep and shortly go and press the power button to wake it up, it will. Bit if I leave it overnight, the next day when I press the power button, it only shows a black screen and never wakes up (it just hangs) and I have to restart it.

I tried to fix this by reading various posts, but it's not working great. I have the following setting in GRUB:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash resume=/de/sda3 video=1280x1024 reboot=warm,cold,bios,smp,triple,kbd,acpi,efi,pci,force"

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="module.sig_enforce=0"

In The Power Management settings I have:

System Sleep mode - suspend after 30 minutes being inactive

(the other settings I did not specify since  think they are not relevant to the problem)

I used this MacMini with Bootcamp which I usually booted to Win7 and the sleep/suspend modes were working correctly (same for the OSX on the maachine). Also, I could wake the computer by just clicking with the mouse or pressing a key (while with LL I had to press the power button).

I'd appreciate any help on my issue? Thank you!

Regards,

George

Hi, my HD wich has linux lite running, sounds like its not going to last much longer.
Downloading files or updating linux isnt possible anymore, it starts making these loud clicking noises and after some time crashes.
Is it possible to move everything to an external HD and then switch it with the internal broken HD ?

Been running Linux full time on my personal computer for a couple of years now.  Before that I have "tested the waters" so to say for probably 15 years, while using Windows as my main OS.  Still use Windows at work, and have an XP VM for those occasions where I'm too lazy to convert stuff to a Linux friendly format.

Anyway, thought I would give Linux Lite a go on this old ThinkPad T43p.  So far, so good, except that it boots with NumLock on, and that's a no-no on a ThinkPad.

Installing linux lite over windows xp. The installation is stuck at "Detecting file systems" and there is an option for skip which cant be clicked. Also the previous loading of installation was slow.

From the following link, which refers to setup1 in signature, you will see the partitioning details of the LL3.6 / PCLinuxOS dual-boot system on a single SSD as follows - you will see that LL has the boot flag:

I assume that when LL4.0 is eventually installed, replacing LL3.8, the boot flag will be destroyed with the clean-install and PCLinuxOS wont appear on the grubscreen and will therefore be inaccessible from dev/sda5, at least initially.

My question is:
Is there any way to recover the installed PCLinuxOS on sda5, so that the dual-boot is fully functional again, after installation of LL4.0 ?  How do I get PCLinuxOS back onto the grubscreen? Obviously I want to avoid having to reinstall PCLinuxOS ...

Many thanks in advance for your help & comments.
Much appreciated as always.

Yesterday morning, Dropbox worked perfectly on my Linux Lite 3.6 laptop (with latest updates). In the evening, I turned on the laptop, and the dropbox icon did not appear. Activating it from the menu did not work either. I tried purging and re-installing it from the command line, as well from Lite Software, but to no avail. I tried stopping and re-startint it, and I got the following error message:

26219659_1408655489257711_2208783231029279388_n by golan2072, on Flickr

How do I solve this issue?
