Hello all, did any one knows when Version 2.2 is coming. I am now working with 2.0 and it works fine but maybe is 2.2 more better.

Hi, I'm regularfella, aka Lance.

No more distro hopping for me. This is what I've been looking for. I've installed Linux Lite 2.0 on my Acer Aspire 1410. It has a Core 2 Solo and 3gb ram, 250gb hdd.

Everything worked out of the box. My favorite apps were a breeze to install and this distro runs great on this machine. The screen is broken so I've hooked it up to a 1600x900 monitor and even that was detected and ready to go out of the box. Now it serves as a desktop PC with my wireless mouse and keyboard combo.



I first installed the 32 bit version, but now I have the 64 bit version installed. For some reason the machine seems to run faster on x64.

Love the GUI, Love the simplicity. I'll be sticking with Linux Lite for a long time to come.

I would like to see updates pause at the end of updates so you can review all the changes made to your system. I have modified the update script file last few lines to do just that so update does not terminate until you press the [Enter] key.

echo "Updates complete."
echo ""
read -p "Press [Enter] key to exit"

Hello, I have an Acer aspire 5720, which I loaded Linux Light as a dual system it Windows Vista. When in Linux light,  the screen goes  black after about 10 minutes, even if you're working on the computer. Then you can't wake it back up.  The computer is a 32bit with 2GB memory. Any suggestions?

I can't boot LL 12.04.05. I think maybe problems started after I uninstalled that nasty lightdm greeter. But i reinstalled the gtk version and problem still persists. it begins to boot,  I think hardware list goes by and the nvidia splash and then something about saned being disabled and sometimes battery and cups are mentioned  but around then it always stalls. I can get in by choosing grub below the normal start line there's a repair and then repair screen and then continue then do alt-f2 and login and do startx and i get my desktop.

I note that I can not shut-down though. when i do menu> trun off computer I can only logoff user but restart and shutdown are greyed out.

What cold b e problem? Thanks

So, after burning a CD and getting Linux Lite up and running on my Asus eee something I wanted to install, and started.
I chose the option Erase disk and install Linux

This was followed by ceveral errors, and I haven\t got a clue on how to solve any of them.

After this it just sends me back to the step where I can choose between erasing the disk and installing, or something else.

No, I'm not really good at computer-stuff in general (as you can probably tell by my wording, I've got no clue), I'm just hoping someone is able to help me, I'd like to get this computer up and running again, works great when running from the disc, but that won't really work in the long run.
