Hi,

Bit of a strange one, or I'm being stupid..!!, LL2 on my HP Laptop

Have installed a new Wireless Router(Asus N66) connected to my Broadband Modem.
The install set-up all seemed fine, Router connected to my ISP and I can see WAN & DNS addresses O.K
However, when I open my Browser, "Page Cannot Be Displayed" , So open a terminal and do some pings:

BBC By IP:

i installed 2.0 after using the live CD to verify that my dell laptop would run the software with no issues, I then proceeded to install 2.0 next to the windows 7 installation. once it completed the installation process it asked if i wanted to continue testing or reboot, i selected reboot and it ejected the CD, i pushed the tray back in, the screen has the picture of a feather and a bar on the bottom that continued to move, i tried hitting the enter key like i have in the past for getting out of the live CD, the screen stays on the picture of the feather and the bar on the bottom continues to fill up, after 20 minutes it is still there. is this a normal thing on reboot, should i have selected continue testing and then shut down the normal way? is this a bug in the installer like the screen freezing if you select encrypt the home drive at install?

Very new to Linux.

Installed Lite 2 and works fine . Desktop is great and stable. BUT when it boots ,apart from an inordinate long time , the opening screen are unreadable.

I'm not sure if it is my video card or the way the Lite was loaded ??

I'm using Lite as my full OS on a Dell 2200 desktop . The video card is on  the motherboard .

Would a PCI video help ?

Thanks

I'm having some problems with my Linux Lite, whenever I watch a Youtube video above 480p, the video is delayed and skips to catch up with the audio. Direct* Wine games only show grey screens for a few seconds, then they crash to the desktop, OpenGL games also seem to run slowly. Only Glide games work as they should be on my PC. I'm using latest version (1.7.24) of wine, by the way, and run games through PlayOnLinux, but the same problem occur when I install/run games without it.

All of these issues seem to relate to my graphics card (AMD E-300), and that I don't have a Linux driver for it. I did a little research,and found this, but when I downloaded it and attempted to install it, it asked me to reboot, so I did, and it completely messed up the OS! It was showing the Ubuntu splash/loading screen and just hung there. I has to completely reinstall Linux Lite to fix the problem!

So what do I do now? Where/how can I get a working Linux driver for my graphics card installed?

Hello, I am new to Linux, and I recently installed Linux Lite on my old laptop, which has Windows 7 installed on it, and Linux Lite blows Windows 7 out of the water! it's so much faster and more reliable than Windows 7! It makes my 3-4 year old laptop feel brand new again!

I'm going to build a new PC in a month or so, with the highest end specs possible, and having it dual-boot multiple OSes, and it's looking very likely that Linux Lite will be it's main OS! I'll get myself the DVD and Case badge from the LL store when I get to doing that!
Which raises the question, what Graphics Cards have drivers that support Linux? Preferably AMD ones, after hearing about an apparent scandal Nvidia were doing with publishers to lie/exaggerate about game requirements, I'm not buying another Nvidia card if I can help it! Does there exist a list of cards that support Linux?

It isn't perfect, however, I have a few issues, which I might end up making a new topic for, unless it's fine to post them here?

The Linux Lite Welcome Screen is a great addition and will be very helpful to new Linux users!  8)

Dear LL Team,

I have been successfully been installing LL2 in my USB & USB HDD and its working fine, except following issue;

1.When installed in USB HDD i configured one of the extended partition as FAT32 and gave the mount point as Windows the software installs and at reboot the grub runs and displays the standard LL boot options and then once booted to LL2 it goes blank further OS doesn't get loaded.

2.I reinstalled the same with all extended partitions as ext4 format it works fine.

I tried this n number of times the above 2 options the result was same, right now i working with the option 2, but i want to configure one of the partitions as FAT32.

Pl help me in this

I use LinuxLite on 2 systems and love it!

I am helping a French friend to move from Windows, and I would like to be able to point him to any and all support and documentation in French.

I know of "ubuntu-fr.org", and I know that Linux Mint is headed by a Frenchman and has pretty good support, but I wondered if there is any LinuxLite specific help available for French speakers?

All help gratefully accepted!
