  Linux Lite with LXDE. Problems?

I've installed Linux Lite on an older PC of a friend. Now he has installed LXDE. Will this make problems?

  Installing Linux Lite 32-bit on EEE 900 netbook
Posted by: Wageslave - 07-09-2017, 08:55 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

As the title implies, I am trying to get linux lite to install on my EEE 900.  I am booting from a flash drive, and when I get to the boot screen if I choose to start linux lite,  it will freeze immediately.  Memtest86+ will run but anything else freezes.

This computer has an Intel Celeron 900 mhz processor and 2 gb of ram.  I am currently running Ubuntu 14.04.5 and it works well, but a little slow.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Ways to help promote Lite?
Posted by: smhardesty - 07-09-2017, 06:40 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (15)

I know this subject has been discussed before. I've posted multiple times about how completely impressed with Lite I am. I'd like to see some additional ways someone like me can promote this really great distro. Here is my situation.

I live in what most of you would call an extremely rural area of southern Illinois. The County I live in has a population of 16,233 and the town has a population of 8,631. Not only that, but all of the surrounding Counties are very similar in demographics. I am disabled/retired and I no longer am active in any clubs or organizations.

So with that in mind, what are ways I can best help promote Lite? I truly believe I've found a Linux distro I can depend on for a long time to come. I'd like to do what I can to help ensure the longevity of the Lite project. Any ideas?

  get_iplayer: TV programme listed, but not available...???
Posted by: m654321 - 07-09-2017, 12:25 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)

I was really excited to see the iconic film, 2001 - A Space Odyssey, from my youth listed under get_iplayer. This was the output from terminal confirming its listing:

Does anyone know of an alternative way (and the steps involved) to download this get_iplayer listed programme in LL?  I'd really love to see this film again.

Many thanks in advance, as ever, for an help with this ...

  Resize+Move root and home partitions with GParted on the same drive
Posted by: Roy - 07-08-2017, 09:32 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (7)

Hi all
I have a hard drive (/dev/sdc) with 1TB that my root, swap and home partitions reside in. Recently I've acquired a brand new hard drive and now I have extra space to play with.
My current setup:
[Image: before.png]
And my target is:
[Image: after.png]
Basically that image shows exactly what I want to do.
My question is if I hit "apply" (on a live cd of course) that'll work?
Because those are system partitions I'm a bit afraid everything will be destroyed after the operation complete..

BTW I'll be happy to be informed of a better setup Smile

Thanks a lot!

  Problem connecting to my network windows xp

Hello people
I had a problem connecting to the windows network, when I put smb: // ipaddressofwindowspc throws me:

Can not open "file system"
Failed to retrieve list of shared folders on server: Connection refused.

The strange thing is that, before updating my linux lite detected it and then no. :'(

  Installation protocol
Posted by: JohnD - 07-07-2017, 12:48 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)

Does Linux Lite generate something like an installation protocol?

I've installed Linux Lite at an older PC of a friend. It has taken hours because of a defect DVD drive. But the system is not totally stable. (Web browsers are crashing, if you load any webpage. This was an error, which occured just after the installation of Linux Lite.)

Now my friend has changed different things. I'm not sure that he has told me all his manipulations. As I looked at the system some days ago, I was suprised, that I could not find the directory "/opt". My friend told me, that he has resized a partition for Windows XP at the same PC, because it needs more space for an application. I assume, that he has deleted the separate partition for "/opt", which I have installed.  :Smile

I would like to compare the current status with my installation parameters. So I wonder, if Linux Lite has generated automatically an installation log and where I could find it.

Sorry about my bad English.

  How to select level of updates
Posted by: smhardesty - 07-06-2017, 04:53 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (19)

I've been searching for some way to select the level of updates that are installed. I really hate to bring Linux Mint into the discussion again, but unfortunately that's what I had been using for a long while before Lite. With Mint you could easily select from level 1 to level 5 updates and also decide whether to display the updates you didn't want to install.

In Synaptic, under Settings > Repositories, I found the Updates screen with three options. I noticed the third option states, "Unsupported Updates". Should that box be checked, or should I uncheck it to insure I don't accidentally bork my install. Running Mint I only installed Levels 1, 2, and 3.
