  Is there a way to update V1.0.8 to V2.0 without loosing partitions and data
Posted by: bike_dad - 06-14-2014, 08:49 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (3)

Hello community,
I started to use Linux with Linux Lite V1.0.8 some months ago - great distro for me as a user who wants to use a browser, a document editor and an email client and who is fed up with Microsoft's license policy and changing os system names....
Linux Lite is really easy to use and I installed the latest V2.0 on my netbook - what shall I say? It works perfectly and I would like to update this notebook with Linux Lite V1.08 to V2.0.
Attached you will find my notebook's system report - don't know if this is helpful.
On this machine is installed Linux Lite as well as Windows XP.
Is there a way to upgrade V1.0.8 to V2.0 without loosing all my partitions, data and installed programs?
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

Robert

  Linux Lite Kernel
Posted by: valtam - 06-14-2014, 06:54 PM - Forum: Linux Lite Software Development - Replies (325)

So that we can better support new hardware, we've starting producing a custom Linux Lite kernel. I've yet to decide if this is something that will be offered post-release of each Linux Lite, or with the release.
When compiling this kernel, there is special emphasis on hardware support. I painstakingly go through the entire kernel and add as much hardware support as possible.

For this to be a success, I need your help.
We need people with the following graphics cards: ATI, Intel and nVidia.

These kernels will be beta quality until I am satisfied we have stable, reliable kernels available in both 32bit and 64bit versions. If you'd like to participate, do the following:

Open a terminal and do:

Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-linuxlite-3.15.0 linux-image-linuxlite-3.15.0 -y

Ignore any errors in the terminal.

NB: This should NOT be tested on your everyday machine unless you know how to remove the kernel from a tty. If you have a spare pc or laptop lying around with the above graphics cards we really need your feedback and your results. Also if you are using VirtualBox, these LL Kernels will not work with it. You'll have to use the stock kernel that ships with LL if you want to use VirtualBox.

We will only release the latest stable mainline kernels, if you're not sure what these are see here - https://www.kernel.org/ it will be the kernel version in the yellow box on the right.

  “Install additional software” idles
Posted by: liter1 - 06-14-2014, 12:15 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

Hi I searched in the forum an answer about my problem but could not find an answer...

Basically I installed Linux Lite 2.0 on my computer without any problem.

After using the “Install updates” icon, the updates did install properly.

But when I try to add any software thru the “Install additional software” and entered my choice of 1 to 25 and my password... I get the confirmation installation windows, then click Yes and enter my password...

Then Nothing get downloaded.

Can you tell my what is the solution to that please... and keep in mind that I am a new Linux user.

Thank you.

  Two Questions
Posted by: protocol77 - 06-14-2014, 10:45 AM - Forum: Network - No Replies

Hi I am trying to setup linux lite 2.0 on a spare machine to see how it will function as a server OS i have just done a fresh install and want to do the rest from my windows computer i am trying to connect using PuTTy but it won't connect i have used ifconfig to get the IP which is 192.168.1.5 but PuTTy keeps rejecting the connection i have checked by running apt-get openssh-client and it says it is installed (i assume by default) but still won't connect I know it is connected though because i can browse to \\192.168.1.5 using Windows Explorer and it shows the default LinuxLiteShare folder

It is connected via a ethernet cable into a 8 Port switch which the other computers is connected to also

Second Question

I have a wifi adapter i want to connect to it and use it to share an internet connection of my LAN in windows i am able to bridge the connections and share the internet recieved via that usb adapter over the network alongside my regular LAN shares how can i bridge a WIFI and Ethernet Connection together in linux lite

  [SOLVED] Firefox 30 is crashing system
Posted by: Mark - 06-13-2014, 05:23 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (22)

New to LL2.0, but FF30 is crashing system when it starts up. This doesn't happen with Chromium, and did not happen on a different machine running PC Linux OS LXDE and FF30. No system update missed or skipped.

Hardware : EMachines w/AMD64 single-core processor, 2GB RAM, 150GB HD -- plenty of drive space/RAM available per system monitor tool.

FF30 crashes the computer when starting, so it never gets to a web page--can't even get to a blank home page. I know I had Colorful Tabs as an add-on.
