Forum: Installing Linux Lite
- Replies (5)

I have just updated LL2.8 to LL3.2, retaining the original /home directory but have encountered the following initial problems with this update.

  • Menu, Install Updates - Opens a blank LXTerminal, no user name showing and unable to type ANYTHING in terminal
  • Menu, System, Create System Report - Identical to No1 above
  • Wallpapers cannot be set in ANY directory as ALL images greyed out in Background Settings Manager but freely available in image viewer
Any help in resolving these issues would be greatly appreciated

Setup (3) in sig below is too old (outdated graphics card) to run Supertuxkart version 0.9 - this version is found in the LL3.0 repo.  Therefore, the only way to get Supertuxkart working in LL3.0, is to run an earlier version.  Previously, I've run Supertuxkart 0.8.1-2 successfully on setup3, using LL2.8, however it won't install on LL3.0, due to dependency issues.

To install version 0.8.1-2, I have the following packages:
(1) supertuxkart_0.8.1-2_amd64.deb
(2) supertuxkart-data_0.8.1-2_all.deb

I used gdebi to install both packages.
First, I installed package(2) - that went smoothly. When I attempted to install package(1), the installation got stuck, gdebi giving the following alert:
Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libenet2a (>=1.3.7+ds)

I'd appreciate your help on how to fix this.  I did sudo apt-get install libenet2a in terminal but that didn't work. It would be a shame if I had to revert to LL2.8 in order to get supertuxkart to work...

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Regards
Mike

Hi all.

I'm very new to linux world and have a laptop (not main computer, only for some student work) that i like to install linux to try from time to time and i'm having some problem after linux Lite install.

My laptop is HP Pavilion dv6-3080br, Phenom II P940, 4gb and  hybrid card with Radeon 5650 / 4250 that i have alot of problem when i use linux because of this hybrid (the control only work in windows and with catalyst earlier version, because the hybrid 4250 / 5650 series was discontinued for newest drivers because of the 4250 chip.

But the problem (only in linux lite) os that when i install, the system work very nice, but the "Display Settings" keep opening..... if i let the notebook and came back, there are 4000 windows of display settings.

There is a way to correct this? Where i can find something about it? searched in forums but didin't find.

Thanks!!

I have played with different Linuxes for years-always under VirtualBox. I have been seriously testing many Linux flavors lately since I plan on dedicating a decent computer and serving up webpages soon. So far I have played with a ton of Linuxes-Manjaro,Mint,Cinnamon,Ubuntu,Elemantary,PcLinux,Centos,Puppy...more,but you get the point.

Being a DOS then every version of Windows user and then much later a linux beginner (that is slightly above noob),they have ranged from hair pulling, to frustrating, to not bad, to almost there (Peppermint was almost there),to....

Linux Lite is the winner for me. It just clicks! I get it.

Trying all these Linuxes has changed my computer habits for the worse. Lets be clear-this is NOT any Linux's fault.If anyone's "fault" it is the fault of VirtualBox. When booting the Virtual Machine, Virtualbox turns off the num lock on the keyboard-not that big of a deal,but can be very annoying when you are trying as many Linuxes as I have lately. Now in Windows or a VirtualBox session, everytime before I use the number pad for a split second I think "is num lock on? is num lock off? is it on? is it off? on? off?" Repeat that 5,000 times a day and you see it gets a bit disconcerting.

But not LinuxLite!

Somewhere there is a LinuxLite genius programmer that wrote the equivalent of this code:
If NumLock is off then turn it on
If NumLock is on then leave it on

Brilliant! I think it is the small thoughtfull touches that makes LinuxLite stand out.
It clicks!

Just upgraded to 3.2 so I am ready to clean out old kernel using Lite Tweaks. Check System Profiler and Benchmark for kernel in use. Don't see it listed in ones that can be removed by Lite Tweaks. Does this mean I can or should remove all the ones listed?  :-\

(Tried searching forum and Help Manual but did not find instructions on this.)

Hi all, just a few days new to Linux Lite. Installing worked fine but I have a question?
Why is it that if I start Chromium that each time I have to login to my google/ gmail account, and have to use the Gmail Authenticator? And the same with the first time the Keyring? crazy lol.

Hope for help?
Thanks,
Kabonkel.

Hello everyone.  Big Grin

I recently installed Linux Lite. It was 3.2 Beta.
For this reason, I have re-install the 3.2 to a few hours ago.
Also, I have to install the 2.8 to old PC (Originally WinXP pre-installed).

Linux Lite is I think the use of the English main,
it is because there is no localepurge,
it was easy to accommodate the Japanese.

My PC is currently Linux Lite working comfortable.  ;D

Hi

I use Linux Lite Live from time to time to see how it's developing and whether to make the plunge permanent should get round to I simplifying my existing system Wink

Does the Linux Lite 3.2 Final include the fix for Dirty COW?

I did a search and saw https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/secur.../#msg26825 saying LL kernel had been patched but can't see anything whether the Live ISO has been updated. I'm not even sure a Live system can be updated but even so, it's something to remember the long command line to do the update each time.

Many thanks
Alan
