To verify the integrity of the Linux Lite iso download you need to watch the video and follow the steps he shows.


When someone posts code for you to put in a terminal, only copy the highlighted text, and only one line at a time, and hit [Enter] after you paste each line.

I restarted after updates and again had to interrupt Linux so that it would stop rebooting into a loop and get to the advanced options screen/ recovery mode/ update grub boot loader to read write/ resume normal boot and finally exit recovery mode.
I did notice a SMB CIFS FAIL couldn't get the whole string before it restarted.

[Hardcoretexan]

Ok I did do all my updates and restarted each time. As to

If still have problem after running updates and you have confirmed that md5sum did match

I don't know how to do that or what that means, but I did open up the terminal and pasted in the string that you posted and this is what came back.

First off I just installed linux lite and have no experience with linux.
My original post was about not being able to connect wirelessly but after multiple updates the problem has fixed itself.

Since that's no longer the problem, I moved topic here to "Start up and Shutdown".

Now the problem I have is everytime I reboot I get stuck in an auto reboot cycle.
I get to the instruction page telling me to do updates first but before I can update the computer shuts down and restarts.

I have to turn it off mid boot to get to a repair screen and I use the repair features to rewrite everything and then it boots up with no problems.
I use advanced options then recovery mode and then update boot loader.
It runs through the scans and I can barely make out a fail on starting smb(but it restarts too fast to write down the rest.

but once it reboots now I am fine.

As others have asked, did you confirm that the md5sum of the downloaded LL ISO file matched the one shown on the download page?

Since it sounds like you could eventually get it booted up, did you then install updates?  (Menu -> Install Updates.)  If not, do that and see if problem resolves itself.

If still have problem after running updates and you have confirmed that md5sum did match, open a terminal and enter the following two commands:

Code: [Select]

cat /var/log/dmesg | tail -n 20
inxi -Fxz
Follow instructions shown on this post to copy/paste the terminal output back here for us to see.  Hopefully that will give us some clue as to what's going on with your boot problem.

Hello!

Welcome to Linux Lite. To answer part two of your question, no anti-virus, anti-spyware, or cleaning software is needed on a Linux system.

There IS anti-virus software out there for Linux, but the only thing you'd need it for is to scan files you want to send to a Windows machine.

As for cleaning, that is not terribly necessary. However, deleting old kernels can free up a goodly amount of space, if several of them are present. Toward that end, Linux Lite has its own cleanup utility, known as Lite Tweaks (formerly Lite Cleaner).

The Linux Lite 2.2 LiveDVD comes with Lite Cleaner pre-installed. It becomes Lite Tweaks after 'Install Updates' is ran on the initial install...

I don't know how to do this.

OK. No problem. I'll leave it to the experts.

 

[Hardcoretexan]

You might want to look in dmesg maybe for a clue as to the reboots.

  and

There is a lot of stuff one can check in /var/log for weird situations like a reboot loop situation.

I don't know how to do this.

Also. Does the computer shut down or reboot if in terminal you use

It either starts or it reboots continuously, meaning everytime I restart it restarts after the instruction screen displays(before I can do anything) but if I interupt Linux after the loading screen comes up by turning off the power, the next boot gives me the advanced options. Then I go to recovery mode and then update boot loader, after that it boots up fine and everything runs great until I reboot next time.
Also as to the integrity of the disc it shows 26 items, totalling 772.6 MB on the DVD.

I only found 2 failed entries

 * Starting Reload cups, upon starting avahi-daemon to make sure remote queues are populated[fail]
 * Starting SMB/CIFS File and Active Directory Server[fail]

[rokytnji]

Did you verify the integrity of the Linux Lite iso before burning it to disk, if not it may be an issue with the installation disk.

A way to look at boot.log from the text editor is to go to main>accessories>text editor, and after it starts, click the file menu>open, in the pop-up window click "file system" on the left side, open the "var" folder in the main window and then open the "log" folder and double click "boot.log". You should then check the things that failed and make sure to start with the first failure. Eliminate the failures one at a time and reboot to see if the problem is fixed. One failure can cause another.

Also. Does the computer shut down or reboot if in terminal you use

Code: [Select]

sudo shutdown -h now
Edit: Not sure if systemd made that command irrelevant or not anymore but it won't hurt to try it out.

You might want to look in dmesg maybe for a clue as to the reboots.

I am on my Slackware netbook so just a example of what and where I am talking about.

Code: [Select]

harry[~]$ cd /var
harry[var]$ ls
adm    db     lib   log   man  rwho   spool  tmp
cache  empty  lock  mail  run  slapt-get  state
harry[var]$ cd log
harry[log]$ ls

Xorg.0.log.old dmesg messages  removed_packages  secure    wicd
btmp faillog  nfsd    removed_scripts   setup     wtmp
cron gdm packages  sa      sourcery

Then to read

Thanks for the info still having the rebooting problem if anyone has any ideas.

lol , way to go .
