I just installed Linux Lite 1.08 on an older AMD Sempron machine (AMD64). After the install completed, the system would only boot into a tty screen. After a quick search, I found:
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...361#msg361
and proceeded to follow the command line entries. I first ran:
sudo service lightdm stop
and the system told me there was no such instance. So I ran:
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-*
and that ran fine. I moved on to:
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
but was told there was no such file. I finally ran:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current && sudo reboot
and the desktop came up fine. But I'm not sure a real newbie could figure this one out. Bug in the iso?
Hi,
LL 1.06. I installed Nautilus file manager. I then go into settings>preferred applications>Utilities and change from Thunar to Nautilus. But it seems like Thunar is still used by default. I'll open up a mounted USB drive and it's thunar, everything seems to user thunar still. Tried rebooting but still's the same. Wondered if anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.
I'll be using LL 1.06 or 1.08 and the mouse arrow cursor will turn into a crosshair and the desktop will seem frozen. I found that if I do Alt-Tab and cycle to any open window that fixes it and the arrow and normal operation is back. But it's annoying. I wondered if anyone knows what causes it? Thanks.
After downloading Linux Lite, I followed the procedures to install drivers from the help manual. The screen "No Proprietary Drivers...." came up completely blank. Does this mean I have no driver updates to worry about?
The Lite Software Center only has an older version of LibreOffice. I uninstalled it and then downloaded the latest version (4.2.3) from LibreOffice web site. Used the Unzip/Compression utility to unpack it on my desktop. How do I go about installing this software?
Greetings from New Jersey, USA. I admit that I am new to this whole Linux thing. This is why I chose Linux Lite. When I first installed it and started playing with it, I loved it. Then I ran into problems. The first was with WiFi. But that one fixed itself after sitting idle for a couple of weeks. l still am having problems with the dual boot thing, but I'll take that over to that forum. Thanks to all for your help. Peace out.
Have downloaded get_iplayer via synaptic. Appears to have proceeded well and registers in sysnaptic as installed (green square LHS). However after installation can not find in LL manager under any of the option categories. Any ideas where to look etc to run the program. TIA
Hi Everyone,
I'm really sorry but as a normal kind of person who thought they were quite good at computers, I've had no success at all in installing Linux Lite. Your instructions on line are for geeks, no offense intended.
'Writing the latest Linux Lite ISO to USB on Windows'
I downloaded the Win32DiskImager, so what? There are no other instructions which is very unhelpful. I also downloaded Linux Lite which sits in my Firefox downloads. At one point I thought I was 'reading' and 'writing' Linux to the USB using Win32DiskImager and this took hours, the end result, nothing on the USB stick, so not a huge success.
I have no idea where to go now, any suggestions?
Best
Will
Running Lite 1.0.8. Yesterday I connected my notebook adapter (wifi card) a Linksys WPC54G ver.3. Yesterday I was able to connect after finding my network and entering my PW. All I had to do is double click the little network icon on the bottom menu bar next to the battery icon and my network showed up. Today after reboot .....notta. Linux recognizes my card and I already loaded the correct driver from my CD. I tried to reload the driver and Linux states that the driver is already loaded. I also deleted the driver and reloaded it...still notta. Any thoughts?...Linux Neebie...still learning here.
I am admittedly a Linux noob wanker, but I do search first before asking these kinds of questions. Haven't found this one yet:
I just loaded LL 1.08 to a Dell d620 laptop. This machine used to run Win xp and svga output to TV screen was just fine, it auto adjusted to fill the 1920x1080 screen.
It appears with LL the default display is 1280x800 which fills the latop screen just fine, but uses a much smaller area of the TV screen. In settings/display on LL it shows only the 1280x800 default and apparently offers no adjustments. And, I have not found any way to change res on the TV. Also, Fn/F8 does nothing.
Is there some way to increase the output size to fill the TV screen?
Here is the device info I could find through the LL menu:
x.org foundation 1.11.3
nvidia G72M quadro NVS 110M/geoforce go 7300 (rev a1) prog-if 00
Thanks
