Trying to install LL3.0-32 on a Dell Dimension 4100 configured with 512M RAM and 20GB HDD.  Machine has only CD ROM Drive so need to boot from USB so created bootable USB thumb drive using multibootusb.  Dimension 4100 BIOS lacks USB boot option so created plpbt.img 5.0.15 on 3.5" diskette.  Machine boots plop from the diskette and boots the USB image.  After selecting Linux Lite 3.0 32bit and then LL safe mode, the loader finds vmlinuz and initrd.gz and shows dots while loading the files.  After initrd.gz finishes loading, the screen fills with dots that are continually scrolling forever; after watching this for 30 minutes, pressing ESC aborts whatever is happening and provides a boot prompt.  Pressing ENTER at the boot prompt returns to the boot menu.  If regular Start LL is selected instead the system simply hangs after accessing the USB thumb drive for a while--no errors are observed.  Would anyone know what might be causing this behavior and whether or not there are any boot options that might allow proceeding with the install?  Selecting the Integrity Check without the "quiet splash --" options produces the same result (screen full of scrolling dots after loading initrd.gz).

Hello,
I've tried to post this as a "bug" but can't get it to "take". Probably me. Anyway:

Problem establishing wifi connections.  Tests have been conducted using WPA/WPA2 PSK networks, 64bit LL3.0 and two systems:

1. MSI U180 netbook with "Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) driver: ath9k"
   
2. Dell Inspiron 1525 using an RTL8088CUS based dongle (rtl8192cu driver).
   

What happens is this:

1. Click on network icon shows list of networks, including that wanted (SSID "visitors").
   
2. Clicking on a network name causes request for the key which seems to be accepted but no connection is established. (At this point a file /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/visitors - opened as administrator - has been created but does NOT include the key.
   
3. Network icon/Edit Connections permits the key to be added, after which connection becomes possible and the key shows in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/visitors
   

Problem occurs both during installation and on installed systems.

Am I alone in having this problem?

Regards,
Richard.

Hi

I may be completely wrong!

In going into menu -> system -> install software -> settings -> repos 

I tried to change my repo to an FTP site in Australia and assumed....as I am a mere male heh heh that I should pulldown the box below and choose FTP instead of what was showing.
but the box has no pulldown?

So I checked an US ftp site and same issue as per image.

Anything to worry about?

Thanks for reading

Hi guys,

Anyone with any advice?

Just got an old Dell Free from my works I.T. guy for my daughter who is due to go into hospital at the weekend for quite a big operation. I've installed LL 3.0 and done all the updates and installed Kodi for her (The media buttons on the front of the laptop even control Kodi!!)

The only issue, doesn't shutdown properly? It goes through the motions and just hangs at a greyish screen and I need to press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds for it to power down.

Apart from the power issue, I'm VERY impressed with how LL has developed, it's been a good year or so since I've tried LL, I might just install it on my main PC!

Ant tips or hints would be most appreciated!

Help Manual > Install > Enabling TRIM on your SSD:

In the section instructing the user to edit /etc/rc.local, we see 3 instances where "fstrim -v" is added to the file, but there are 4 instances where "noatime," was added to /etc/fstab.  The number of these edits matched in the 2.8 Help Manual, but they don't here in the 3.0 manual. 

I noticed this when following the instructions to TRIM my first SSD over the weekend.

Hey! Can you guys give me some tips how to make my Linuxlite much faster and lighter? Thanks!

Hi Gerry and co. An old NAS (network attached storage) problem has come back. It probably occurs also if trying to access a "Windows share". Attempting to open ".odt" files on NAS causes LO Writer to appear momentarily then vanish. This is a reversion to behaviour in 2.0. Problem vanishes on installing libreoffice-gnome from System / Install/remove software

(I have made a bug report.)

Just a quick hello and to say that i have been using Linux-Lite-3 now for three days and i really like the OS.

Hello! Is it possible to make it visible on with wallpaper? Your temp, memory, etc. If so, how?

Hi

I regard myself as an intermediate Linux user with no programming language skills and umm no plans to learn such.

However, I can and have some skills and plan on helping in the forums from time to time.

so far I like this distro as its fast to boot and a decent array of software that should have most people happy.

Rather than mention in any feedback area....it was trivial for me to add some of my fav software including
mc = terminal file manager
mirage = image viewer mainly for slideshows and easy magnification
mtpaint = smaller than gimp image edit tool, mainly to convert image formats and crop etc.

and youtube-dl needs a few terminal commands = a terminal command tool to download youtube movies and convert most into a a format for later playback if you can't afford to watch as streaming as you want to watch it more than once and have bad internet speeds......like mine is only 4 Mbps  or roughly 400 kilobytes per sec

I also noticed that vlc was already capable of youtube streaming.

cheers and thanks for reading
