Oolite is inspired by the 8-bit classic Elite, and many aspects of gameplay will be familiar to players of that game. In the tradition of open-world games, there's no overall story: you can be a millionaire trader, a veteran combateer, a feared pirate, a lonely miner, a notorious smuggler, or all of them, or something else entirely, based on your own actions.

This game plays ridiculously well in LL with either a joystick or an xbox 360 controller. I dont know about just mouse and keyboard but some people play this game with just those.

The script behind Install Updates menu entry executes the following two commands:

So I had been using 2.0 for about three weeks or so and today I open my laptop and boot up. Everything was normal until I logged in... When I logged in I still had my cursor but nothing else loaded, it was just black. I have not made any big changes to my laptop since I started aside from fixing it so I could use my volume up and down buttons. I currently have it in command line and I am wanting to update all of its packages and have it install them but I don't know how and I am unsure if that is referred to in another thread.

I am running a stock acer c720 chromebook (minus the chrome part) I just need to find the update install script to see if updating will fix the issue.

Any help would be great.  ~Jarvis

Hi all,

I found LL rock solid stable and faster than xubuntu where I did have a few problems (but not too bad at all). Xubuntu has light locker which locks my screen after I leave my laptop idle. It also shuts off the display. On the other hand LL does not lock screen. Also no matter how long the laptop is on, the screen is ON. It's blank but ON and it does not lock the screen. I think thats a major flaw in my opinion. I don't really care too much about how xscreensaver looks, but I think light locker does the job. I did google:"replace xscreensaver with light locker", but got nothing. Are there safe and tested steps to do this?

Hi!

Having a problem on my HP-530 (works perfect on my other notebooks).
Every time I start the display from suspended or just pressing "display button" it shows the settings for the display, as it has discovered a new display every time.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks for an awesome distro! ...this is my only struggle so far

Hi - hopefully someone can decipher the bootchart log and tgz attached. I'm at a loss. I get 3 "COMRESET" errors about 10 seconds apart during boot. Shutdown takes about 1 second.

This is a "fast" system...

Windows boots in 8 seconds on another SSD.

Thanks!

EDIT: Fixed on any Linux distro. The problem was an "old" Intel 32GB SSD. This worked absolutely fine on W7, but any Linux didn't like it at all at boot. It had the latest firmware too, wgich was dated 2010. I've now removed it and binned it as I have no real need for this tiny drive.

Thanks for all help offered in any case.

Have been putting it off long enough, mainly because 1.0.6 was heavily set up for developing LL, just didn't want to have to go through all that again. But took the plunge nonetheless!

Gotta say I'm very happy that I did. What I'm loving about 2.0:

• Display handling - the Display Settings feature in the new XFCE is awesome for dual monitors, extended displays
  
• Sound control from the tray
  
• Whisker Menu
  
• Nothing beats a fresh, clean install
  

Hello All,

I have a Toshiba 64GB USB drive formatted as Fat32 that's full of picture and video files.
The data was copied to it from a Mac, when first plugging it in it mounted ok but none of the video or image files were visible/readable even though Thunar showed the drive was full.

So I opened Gparted, unmounted it, started a Check but after a few seconds Gparted crashes out & closes.
It wouldn't mount again after that & any further attempts with Gparted resulted in the same crash, so I tried 'sudo fsck' through the terminal but that wouldn't work, kept saying the media was mounted when it wasn't.
I ended up plugging it into a Vista machine and using chkdsk on it & managed to get it so it would mount again.

Lol, now I have a USB full of files named 'FSCK0819.REC' etc., all the image files are ok, just the extension had to be changed back to .jpg, some of the video files the same, work fine after an extension change but most of the video files are listed as unknown and won't play after an extension change even though the sizes of the files seem to be about correct.
It appears the crash with Gparted has caused it somehow, Avidemux won't open them, VLC won't play them even though it appears to open them, nothing happens.
Gparted still crashes out if I try doing a check again on this USB drive.

Can this be easily fixed so these videos are usable again?
Or is it not worth the effort?
From what I've been reading it sounds like it's not worth the effort or possibly they can't be recovered anyway but I don't understand much about this sort of issue.

Thanks.

I love this distro.  I was trying to upgrade from Zorin 7 to Zorin 9, and, I dunno, maybe my Acer Aspire doesn't meet the requirements, but after trying to burn the iso file several times...well, lets just say, I was able to boot into the live session (of Zorin 9) but just could not get it to install. So, i decided to try something new. Linux Lite 2.0 installed the first time, no headaches, no "installer failed" messages, and system updates went through flawlessly. I'm very impressed with the ease of installation and also with how stable it is, plus it's quite responsive, given that my hardware is on the low end of the laptop spectrum. Thanks!  ;D

Hello,
I installed this PCI graphics card Geforce 8400GS Rev.3 recently as it is 512MB, the previous one was 64MB (Nvidia Geforce MX400).
I also made an error in update choice that altered the splash, Valtam pointed me in the direction of the solution :-) I followed that thread and had help from members, this resolved that.
There still appeared errors relating to "X.Org Desktop is missing", around a window the edge to left and right, including such as the text box I am entering this in, had wiggly moving lines.
I followed the help manual and changed the driver to "X.Org Nouveau", the wiggly lines on window panes have now stopped.
Playing video would then crash the OS and send error reports X4 or sometimes X5 to Ubuntu on reboot.
I looked through this forum and found this thread - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index.php?topic=84.0
Valtam wrote - "I take it you have already tried to load a driver? If so you'll need to remove it.
Press: Ctrl+Alt+F1 this will drop you to a tty screen, if you need to, login. Then type in: sudo service lightdm stop
Now do: sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-* then sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Then do: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current then sudo reboot"

Although the problem I have may be different, I realized I also needed to remove the Nvidia driver and application correctly, the driver I had installed was the tested Nvidia Driver, I also tried the legacy driver.
I followed Valtams instructions above this far -
"Press: Ctrl+Alt+F1 this will drop you to a tty screen, if you need to, login.
Then type in: sudo service lightdm stop
Now do: sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-*"
(I missed out the following steps as I was unsure if they were for my instance).
I then followed the instructions "sudo reboot"
This has solved the problem of the crash when trying to playback video and it has also solved the problem of error reports asking to be sent to Ubuntu, in addition to the cause by its removing the Nvidia driver and application.
Although video playback doesn't crash it is blocky with artefacts and stops/starts.

The problem I need help with is twofold, and may well be related, I am asking for help ontopic for this forum #1 below -
1/ I need help/advice with a driver that will allow video playback with this graphics card.
For reference in case this helps
2/ A black screen appears on shutdown this states -
"Stopping ClamAV
Starting lightdm [OK]
Plymouth is up [OK]"
#2 does not seem to be problematic at this time, I mention as it is not a usual shutdown screen and didn't appear until I made errors. I do not know yet if solving the driver problem will solve this too, similar to removing Nvidia and changing driver solved the Ubuntu splash.

Sorry it is long winded, I am trying to give as much information as I have, and state what I have done/tried so far, to hopefully save time of members who may be able to help.
