  Can't launch OS normally
Posted by: Stirfry - 03-06-2014, 05:46 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (5)

Hi,   I just ran update, honest.  :-[  No reports of any issue, just let it do its thing. But when tried later to boot back into LL after shutdown, was dropped from usual grey silhouette screen with slider to a full screen 'terminal prompt' saying "Linux Lite 1.0.8 LTS PC2 tty1"  wanting username and password (i.e. not the usual login screen).  Entering username and password is accepted, but after a few lines of text am just left at a flashing user prompt ... no desktop or nuffin. 

To much a noob to use a command to launch into the desktop from there.  Only know "reboot -f" from the help manual, but it don't do it. Hoping it is simple.  Rather learn than just run Live CD again and install all over.  Might break it again... Sad

  How to Install Java for Firefox In Linux Lite?
Posted by: N4RPS - 03-06-2014, 11:39 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (4)

Hello!

I've tried installing Java 7 from the repositories and from Oracle's tarball, and have enabled the Firefox plugin for it. However, when I go to Oracle's test page, it's still saying there's a problem. I can't figure out what that problem may be to save my life.

Uncle!

  Is there a streaming Media downloader GUI such as VSO Downloader
Posted by: Dookus - 03-06-2014, 03:35 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

Hi all.

I am hoping to dump windows all together as my experience with LL is far superior to any Linux I've tried, I'm over the command line bash terminal call it what you may ... I'm old and just want to GUI to be able to work for me.

A media stream detector or a GUI for rtmpdump ... any recommendations?

  Reinstalling LibreOffice
Posted by: mandoran - 03-05-2014, 10:50 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

Hello again,

I have a problem after a crash. LibreOffice is no longer working, at least not the word processor, which is what I use primarily and which was running when the machine went down. The program icon doesn't respond, nor do associations with file types, the program just doesn't run. I tried reinstalling elements via Synaptic, but this has had no effect. 

I was wondering what I can do now, and what is the best way to uninstall and reinstall - since LibreOffice is preinstalled perhaps there is some other method needed?

  Hello everyone
Posted by: gramps - 03-05-2014, 05:04 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (3)

Hello, I'm a new user to linux. Read that Linux Lite was easy for beginners, so I decided to give it a good try. Installed it this morning on a Toshiba M105 notebook. It's been giving me fits since, been at it now for 9 hours now. Luckily I'm older, I'll be 70 in May, and have free time to learn. I'll probably make a pain out of myself with questions.

Just wanted to get some information on Wine. Is that the best one to use for windows based games or is there something else that works better. I seem to have issues getting some games to work.

  Should I use the Torrent or HTTP download
Posted by: davidatscpc - 03-04-2014, 03:10 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

Hi.  I currently have Windows XP on my 32 bit, 6 year old computer and would like to try out Linux Lite before April 8. I went to https://www.linuxliteos.com/download.html and I'm not sure if I should use the "HTTP DOWNLOAD" or the "torrent".  I've got a CD to download the OS to.  Which option should I choose?Thanks from Down Under Smile
