The Ethernet connection in this old pc is killing me to the point I cannot even update the system...

Here's the output of ifconfig:

Hello,

I am brand new to linux and have very little knowledge of computers. I'm on an old msi Wind Notebook that was running Windows 7. i apologize if i'm missing a bunch of necessary info outlined in the guide to posting, but it's all i can do to type this at the moment, so please just ask me and i'll tell you whatever else!

I think I posted for help with installing updates the other day, but now I can't find that post (although i can see in in my general pr6file that i do have a post). So to reiterate and to describe some other problems as well, first, I successfully installed linux lite, but when i click on the first recommended step, to install updates, i get an error log (which i copied into the previous post which i now can't find, so i won't paste it here, but i can regenerate if need be. Second, I have to use the function key to type what's inside the brackets [uiojklm;], as well as some capital letters and other punctuation. Can someone please explain how to change that?

I'll leave it there for now--many thanks for considering! I've wanted t6 switch to linux for a long time, but need some major support getting started!

    – I'm trying to install linuxlite on one partition for web browsing and the second for testing and learning software. This  includes: wine, windows apps and downloaded .deb packages. The second OS boots up, but the first won’t. After using systemback’s boot repair on the first os, it boots up, but not the second OS.  Don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but would appreciate any ideas you have.
I have installed and learned a lot of apps, customized LL, fixed things when they break, plus have done a lot of cut and paste into the terminal, but stuck on this one. 
This is how it’s gone so far:


What hasn’t worked:  
- using gparted to change one of the os’s uuid number & file system label;
- I’ve used systemback boot repair to change the order of the os’s on the grub menu.

Resources: - Question: What symbol in the LL install wizard will install it to the root partition instead of the mbr? The / symbol is what I use on the first and second installs of LL. (question asked about the following forum page)
“When installing other distros after LL, 
direct their grub boot loader installation to their Root partitions 
instead of the drive's MBR.”

Corbin,

Install went fine. Or so I thought. First reboot, no grub. Installed grub from live usb. System booted fine. Installed the apps and Nvidia prop. driver, rebooted, Everything working fine. Shut down system and ran a few errands. Come back, turn the computer on, signed in, no xfce4 panel. No right click. Wallpaper and mouse showing. Can even move the mouse around. But, the desktop is dead. Hard shut down. Load into live usb, Google searched the issue. Find an issue from 2012, tried it, didn't work. Reinstalled and on reboot, I have grub. Desktop loads up after login, desktop is dead. Xfce4 panel is there, but am not able to click anything. Grab my Lite 3.6 flash drive, reinstall and my system is stable again.

Anyway, 3.8 is a bust for me. I'm not looking for help on this, just informing. I'll stick to 3.6 until the next release or until there's a bug fix release.

I was 'road testing" Solus Budgie just to check it out. I wrote it to a DVD using Xfburn. My test computer and main computer would not boot from the DVD so I tried to blank the DVD. Sometimes the Xfburn would not recognize the DVD. Sometimes it would recognize the DVD and said it was a blank DVD. When Xfburn would let me try to blank or format the DVD, it fails and gives this message: "Failure: Asynchronous SCSI error : [3 51 00] Medium error. Erase failure."

The test computer and my main computer both do as described above. My iMac just ejects the DVD. I installed k3b burner on the test computer and it doesn't recognize the DVD either. When one of the Linux computer's file manager (Thunar) recognized it showed it has Solus on it.

Has Solus killed my DVD or is there a fix for it?  :-\
