Hi! I believe I am here to stay for a while. I've been using linux for a number of years and was looking for a fast, less bloated distro and came across linux lite along with a number of other distros. Not criticizing the other distros I tried, but I found this to be the best of them. Easy to operate, easy to add my old standby programs and tools via synaptic. Wonderful distro and great forum!

Hi.

Yesterday I had to reinstall windows 7 on my netbook that had linux lite as a main system and windows 7 as a option in boot menu. Every system was in different partitions, so I didnt woried to much about messing up linux(I never had any problem before when I was reinstalling windows).

But when I plugged  recovery USB for my windows 7, and install system again, after first reboot I selected Windows 7 in booting menu that I got after instaling Linux Lite and... I got error "wrong partition system x007000" press any key... I pressed space and windows turn on normally without any problem. I had to restart it few times and everytime I got different number in this error, but system work without any problem.


But real problem showed up after I done setting up windows.

As I said LinuxLite is now my main system, so I restarted my netbook again I selected LinuxLite, loading screen showed up... and thats it.
Loading bar really slowly(6min) went to 100% and nothing more, I spend 30min waiting for any respond, error, anything but nothing. I tried smashing keyboard to get some logs window but nothing.
I forced shutdown and after restarting I went to Linuxlite recovery option that i have in bootmenu but no matter what I select I get window saying that it gonna set permission to read/write and nothing more. I spend another 30min waiting for any respond but nothing....


I though that plugging USB with LinuxLite give me more options or access to console, but now when I select pendrive in Bios boot menu I get error: BOOTMGR not found! 

Now I cant install any system...

I looked for solution for this BOOTMGR not found error, and 90% of responds say that I should fix boot manager using my windows recovery disc... but my recovery USB  doesnt have such option or console to type command for fixing boot manager...


So im really screwed up, and any help with  installing LL again would be really good for me right now.


For information I have access to partition of LinuxLite after installing  Ext2 Volume manager in windows, and every file, system and my, are in place. So i think problem is in boot manager that was messed up after reinstalation of windows....


I never played with GRUB or any boot manager, its always work so I didnt touch it or learn it so I dont want to touch anything more now because I could totally messed up this netbook...

So any idea how I could restor LinuxLite?

Greetings, I am new to Linux Lite and just installed it today. I am trying to get sound on the internet (youtube, etc.). I would surely appreciate any help that I can get on this! Tks very much in advance.

Scaled down (by 1 pixel) version of the Linux Lite Menu icon that fits in with the Compass icon theme.

i did a full [RE-}install today. had the LL boot screen to the logon pass screen. THEN i used settings to have the graphics driver for gf7950 installed,, all went well. i rebooted. THEN;
the boot splash screen changed, part way thru the boot process, to the ubuntu 14.04 splash screen.. with the 4 "wait" indicators, then, the lite splash screen  re appeared and i went to the normal desktop. not that its a problem.. just unusual.  glad to b back on LL

Thank you for moving me 
I don't want to step on any ones toes but perhaps a video might help those folk like me who do not understand the language used in manuals.  ;D

I've made a video of customizing the standard panel to what I've been using for the past few years
The top row is 2 minimized windows and the next row is 2 multi-launchers, followed by notifications, clock and then the menu.

I like the extra screen real estate and just looking in one small area for info, menu etc.

If this seems a good approach perhaps folk will have some suggestions on how to improve the video, I don't mind redoing it.

If I've posted in the wrong place please move/remove.

edit
I'm thinking about splitting it into Panel size and position, populating the panel and then about using the menu, three videos?
