Had installed the latest Linux lite onto a USB via unetbootin.
Then installed it to a laptop alongside windows 8.1
LL works great but I get a blue screen error when trying to run windows:
Windows failed to start.... File \boot\bcd, stats: 0xc000000e, Info: Boot configuration data for your PC is missing or contains errors....
Pls help thanks
After fighting and winning a lot battles with problems relating to Linux-Lite the War still goes on and on so for me its time to admit defeat and go back to Windows . For me LL is not, in spite of all the effort put in by the team, a real alternative to Microsoft to make LL a everyday user user-friendly with everything using a GUI rather than needing to learn and type in lots of data using a CLI
Thanks to Everyone who have tried to help me in my many hours of need . Unfortunately the ones who do respond are generally into Terminal Commands but not having learnt this low level language with its syntax its difficult for me. How do I know what to do if I do not get the correct response. Is it me or has the solution provider missed some important detail that they expect I should know etc
At times I made feel that I am inadequate because I want GUI solutions and I am not prepared to learn the CLI. If I wanted to be a real geek I could use basic binary 1's and O's to input / output as that is all a computer deals with . Anything above that level is designed to make life for us humans easier . I want the highest level which at the moment is GUI . I just want to use a computer to run programs and not bother with the OS once I set up its setting to my liking.
I am devoting too much time getting Computers including Smartphones to work without problems . We were promised that computer would save us time but thats not my view - they take time away ?
At the moment Windows 10 is working for me ok . Its not perfect and there is too much change for the sake of style .
Good Luck to you all and my you achieve your dreams

Hello everyone, I am new to LL and have a question. Is it possible to eliminate the need to enter passwords when the system wakes up and when the monitor wakes up. It gets slightly annoying to constantly be entering my password.
Cheers, David.
I have tried installing flash in chromium through install/remove software but without success.
BBC i Player tells me I need to install Adobe Flash player whereas ITV player tells me I need to update Flash player, so neither player will work in Chromium, yet both work flawlessly in Firefox.
I know I could use Firefox just for these but as everything previously worked flawlessly in Chrome (32bit Linux) I would expect to be able to achieve the same result in Chromium.
Any help or advise in achieving my goal would be very much appreciated
Can Linux Lite OS be repaired without uninstalling etc
I have a problem with Open Office Writer etc. When Writer is opened the Program Flash screen shows briefly then nothing
[/size]The only reference I found was https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+so...tion/60838
In spite of lots of help the only solution by the OP was to reinstall Ubuntu
I have tried Purging both LibreOffice and OpenOffice and reinstalled OpenOffice but the problem still occurs,
The same problem does not occur on another Linux-lite 2.6 installation on another computer .
I would like to avoid having to install Linux-lite from scratch

Hello.
I'm noticing when I want to type a left bracket i.e. SHIFT 9 on my keyboard, it does not display, no matter what program I'm using. I use this quite often so it's rather annoying. It was working previously when I had Linux Mint Cinnamon installed on my Asus Zenbook UX-21 for a few weeks. I had other issues with Cinnamon so decided to ditch and install LL. Everything is fine except for this little problem. Given it was working previously using Cinnamon, I don't think it's a hardware problem. Can anybody help please?
Thanks

Hello, I've decided to leave Linux Lite for Manjaro. I would like to thank the dev team, and the community to helping me ease into GNU/Linux as a newbie.
Goodbye, and thank you,

Must be OK just checked and my Data Partition files have appeared in the ntfsfiles folder
Does the Manual need changing to avoid confusion ? Even a Note to say to disregard the **IBUS-WARNING** would allay doubts if the instructions cannot be modified

Hello and glad to be here:
I have been using linux for a few years and pretty much just distro hopped i use linux on all my computers for home and home business looking forward to using linux lite thank you for all the work put into the distro its a great distro
Greetings, all. My Gateway LT40 notebook computer runs a dual boot with LL and AntiX's MX-15. (LL is my preferred distribution, but I like to play around with alternatives.) Playing Youtube videos has been a challenge on this little machine.
To avoid browser issues, I installed SMTube in both distros, with VLC being the player it calls. Well, with this setup LL did OK playing the videos at about 80-90% CPU usage. But MX-15 ran with 100% CPU usage and usually the image froze while the sound played.
After some bumbling around I went to the SMTube settings menu and found that it could use several different players. I installed and tried SMPlayer with better results than VLC, but with the video lagging the audio by about 1 second in MX-15.
Then I tried mplayer, which is a command line program. Bingo! With mplayer the backend to SMTube, Youtube videos played just fine in both distros. LL still uses less CPU than MX-15, but they are both way down from using VLC or SMPlayer. I did have to reduce the desired resolution to 360 to get the full video frame, but I blame my 1240 x 600 display for that. Also, there are fewer controls while watching the video, but this doesn't bother me.
In retrospect this all makes sense, because as a command line program I'd expect mplayer to use fewer resources. But it took me a while to figure this out. I thought I'd pass my experiences along to the LL forum in case this would help someone else. Linux Lite could actually play the videos without changes, but by using the SMTube and mplayer combination the CPU usage is down to something like 10-15%, a big jump downward, and I like that. If I'm playing a music video just to listen, I can minimize the video window and do other things at the same time.
Cheers,
Andy N1KSN
