I installed V2 on a HP Pavilion ze4610US laptop (768 megs of ram & 40 Gig HD).  The lappy runs pretty well.  However, the unit will not shut down properly.  I get circles of green and red on a black background with an indicator bar near the middle of the screen.  I can see movement on the bar, but after going about 20% of the way across--it hangs.  I tried pressing the enter key multiple times, but nothing.  The only way to shut down the computer is to hold the power button down until the screen goes black. 

When I click restart instead of shutdown, I get a black screen with Gray and white outline of a small feather or multicolored circles that looks like a bulls-eye and the progress bar stops at 20-25%.  When pressing the down arrow key, these messages appear on the screen:

Quote: wait-for-state stop/waiting
* Stopping rsync daemon rsync
* speech-dispatcher disabled; edit .etc/default/speech-dispatcher
* VirtualBox Additions disabled, not in a Virtual Machine
* Asking all remaining processes to terminate...
* All processes ended within 300 seconds...
[ 5722.745921]

After the bracketed number above there were 3 or 4 other words, but since the screen blacked out I couldn't get them.  But computer still had not shut down.  All the lights were still lit.  I have tried the above several times and it doesn't have the same message every time.  It is always a little different.  But the machine never shuts down or reboots.

The MD5SUM of the downloaded iso is correct and I verified the CD burn against the downloaded iso file.  I have used the same CD to load 2 other laptops and a desktop machine with no problems.

Following the instructions on another post, here is the output of "inxi -Fxz" from the Terminal:

Any help with this problem is greatly appreciated.

Newbie question here.  I've installed the samba gui via the package manager and have designated a folder to share from pc 1 on my home network.  How do I find this shared folder from pc 2?  Each pc has one user configured.  Thanks.

This is really interesting, if  anyone wants to experiment.
I figured out how to customize whisker menu buttons.
First enable compositing, then edit .gtkrc-2.0 and add this:
#.gtkrc-2.0
#Whisker

    style "darkback"
    {
          engine "pixmap"
            {
                 
                    }
                    image
                    {
                            function                = BOX
                            recolorable            = TRUE
                            state                  = PRELIGHT
                            file                    = "hover.png"
                            border                  = { 1, 1, 1, 1 }
                            stretch                = FALSE
                    }
                    image
                    {
                            function                = BOX
                            recolorable            = TRUE
                            state                  = ACTIVE
                            file                    = "hover.png"
                            border                  = { 1, 1, 1, 1 }
                            stretch                = FALSE
                    }
            }
            bg[NORMAL] = "#404040"
            bg[ACTIVE] = "#606060"
            bg[PRELIGHT] = "#808080"
            fg[NORMAL] = "#ccc"
            fg[ACTIVE] = "#fff"
            fg[PRELIGHT] = "#fff"
    }
    widget "whiskermenu-window*" style "darkback"
#end of file

Save this image to your home folder and rename it to hover.png

log out and then back in, and see what happpens with whisker.

Next: Instead of using only one hover.png try using 2 different
For PRELIGHT use hover.png and for ACTIVE hover1.png
Adwaita gtk2 theme works great with this.

i'm not sure if this is a driver issue because i have been using this graphic card with full success, but now my monitor starts making like a "thunk" sound blacking sound for a second or two and turning back on. i've had this happen once or twice and ignored it, but today it got to the point where it would do it non stop. under drivers im using "the recommended driver" and seeing its a new issue i'm not sure if i should just go choosing new ones unless someone knows if this is a unrelated issue? weird how it started out of no where i've been using linux lite since 1.0.

"the divice is using the recommende driver."
"nvida corporation: G69 [GeoForce 9500 GT]

anyone have any ideas? find it weird that it is something that just started... :\

Dear Valtam,

Can LL 2.0 run in ARM based CPU's

Arun

This will open all webpages and html files with Chrome. If you want to set Chromium as your default web browser, replace each instance of google-chrome.desktop below with chromium-browser.desktop

1. Open your home folder, browse to /etc/gnome

2. Right click on defaults.list and Open as Administrator

3. Look for the lines:

and change to:


Save and close the file.

Hello!

I wonder if Linux Lite comes with multimedia support, codecs, plugins etc?

Hugs!

Since installing LL 2.0 I have noticed a quicker drain on the battery and the machine appears to run hotter. Any IDEAs guys why this might be happening.

Updated a few minutes ago using "Install Updates" and received this message:

  What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D    : show the differences between the versions
      Z    : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.

Had to try a couple of times to catch to copy a couple of times before "Install Updates" terminal window closed because I "interrupted" by closing the window.

When I entered D:

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

Not sure what the above items above are. (Firefox and Thunderbird were updated.)

I tried instruction and got the following:

coastie@coastie-desktop:~$ apt-get autoremove
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
coastie@coastie-desktop:~$ su  apt-get autoremove
No passwd entry for user 'apt-get'
coastie@coastie-desktop:~$ linux
The program 'linux' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install user-mode-linux


What does this mean and what should I do about it?
