Forum: Installing Linux Lite
- Replies (1)

It's just a cosmetic thing, but on some installs I get a black background with 5 small dots and the words Linux Lite above it.  Then some random text and eventually the login screen.  Similar text when I shutdown.  I never see the Linux Lite feather and the progress screen on startup or shutdown. 

On one particular build, the bootup screens had an Ubuntu theme.  Running the Lite Tweak got it to show Linux Lite instead.  But I never did get the feather on boot or shutdown.

Not an emergency.  Like I said, it's just a cosmetic thing.  But I've been scratching my head on why this has been happening.

Apologies if this has been covered before.

After playing Minecraft my Nvidia Settings are reset. Bit of a pain to keep altering my .conf file and resetting every time. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I've got a bunch of old HDDs – ATA/SATA, 80-512 GB, Seagate, Maxtor, Samsung – a small zoo Wink
Gigabyte P43T + E8400 + 12GB -  that's desktop the only one with IDE port nearby.

So I tried to do some cleaning = moving tons of files from one HDD to another + zip some directories.
And 2.2 started to crash, even no mouse movement.
It could work for 10 minutes or died almost immediately – unpredictable.

Tried acpi=off, noapic, nolapic & etc with no success.


In the end I've found out this article:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/...a-pendrive

Seems lot of RAM + slow HDD is a common bug.

Code:
echo $((16*1024*1024)) > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_bytes echo $((48*1024*1024)) > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_bytes
to rc.local fixed that.

Just type it here in case anybody else rush into.

The computer I am trying to fix now uses an Intel based video driver. I tried to do an install drivers to see what's going on, I can see the window come up and then it will just go away. Also, when I try to update my sources a window wants to come up but it will also go away. This install was done with the same install disk which I have verified to have a good md5 checksum.

Here is the info from an inxi -g command

Graphics:  Card: Intel 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Integrated Graphics Device
          X.Org: 1.15.1 drivers: intel (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) Resolution: [email protected]
          GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel 845G x86/MMX/SSE2 GLX Version: 1.3 Mesa 10.1.3

Basically, the system works with the exception of what I have said above, should I be using the above driver or is there another one that is better ?
