  Going to sleep, hibernating or suspending, having to start again.
Posted by: Thorin - 06-25-2017, 11:13 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (9)

Hi. Newbie. Recently installed Lite 3.4 on Dell Inspiron 5565.

When I leave it alone for a little it doesn't just sleep, like Windows, it half turns off. The only way I can get it to start is by holding power to completely turn off and start from scratch. this is kind of a pain. I have tried playing with Power Manager, it was set on "never", which obviously wasn't true, for plugged and unplugged, I set it to the max and it did the same thing in an hour or less maybe. This is a hassle if I want to download something. I am used to leaving this to happen overnight sometimes... Any help would be appreciated.

  None of my browsers will run
Posted by: Mander - 06-24-2017, 03:33 PM - Forum: On Topic - No Replies

I've done some cursory searching but haven't found the answer. I hope this hasn't been addressed a bunch of times already.

I have a really old laptop (HP Pavilion ze4600) that I have installed Linux Lite on. At first everything was running quite well, but somewhere in the process of various upgrades and updates I have lost the ability to surf the web! I have Firefox, Chrome, and Midori installed but none of them will launch. Firefox claims there is another session open or else the "firefox had a problem and crashed" dialog box opens, Chrome simply doesn't respond, and Midori complains about a problem with the bookmarks. I have "flashplugin-legacy" installed but it doesn't make any difference.

Is there anything I can do to get browsing working again on this computer, or do I need to re-install an older version of Linux?

ETA: I reinstalled the flashplugin package and now I can get Midori working, at least, but it would be nice to be able to use one of the other browsers too.

We're about 60 days from the next version of Linux Lite (3.6). How about a preview of things coming in the next release? Got anything that will whet our appetites?

  <Sort of solved> "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system"
Posted by: smhardesty - 06-22-2017, 10:53 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (22)

I hope this is the correct place to post this problem. I'm attempting to install Linux Lite 3.4 64 Bit on my wife's laptop. It is a Lenovo B50-45. Hardware is an AMD A6-6310 APU, 4 GiB RAM, with AMD Radeon R4 Graphics. The hard drive is 500GiB and she has absolutely nothing saved on it. Her main use is email and some Internet surfing.

I'm sure the problem I'm having is actually related to the stupid UEFI. I say I'm sure, but I guess if I was sure I'd have solved the problem. Anyway, I have tried both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Lite, WattOS, and Xubuntu installs. The exact same problem occurs with each of the different distros. The laptop doesn't have an optical drive so I'm attempting to install from a USB stick. I have created the Live stick using both MintStick and UNetBootin. I never even get the Live stick running. It locates the USB stick, gives me the first splash screen with options to boot live, boot in safe mode, etc, then with Lite I get the yellow splash screen with the feather on it for approx 45 seconds, then that leaves and I have a black screen with command line messages.

The first message that pops up is:  (initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system
Then there are 5 errors and the final message is:  [ 158.248149] usb usb3-port1: unable to enumerate USB device

Then it just hangs there. I have tried different settings in the BIOS, or UEFI, or whatever it's called now. I know that at some point I was able to figure the thing out because it's running Mint 17.3 Rosa right now. I'm sure I wouldn't have changed any settings in the BIOS between the last time I loaded Mint and now so I should have been able to load a Live stick now. Maybe it's in the way I'm creating the USB stick. I format the stick before every time I write an image to it. And the stick loads up just fine on the G50-45 that I use.

Anybody have any ideas? I'm sure open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

  VIA CN700/P4M800 Pro/P4M800 CE/VN800 Graphics
Posted by: pemartins - 06-22-2017, 04:15 PM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (7)

I'm having a video display issue, i.e. fullscreen display on Youtube having choppy image even at 144p and Vlc video having what looks like a blue filter. It's an old pc so of course I'm not expecting to watch HD or something alike, I'd just like to ask for your help to check if something could be done to improve. If not no problem at all, Linux Lite brought this old machine back to life so I really couldn't ask for more.

I already updated mesa to the latest 17.1.2 but it didn't help. Here is the output of inxi -Fxxx:

I'm attaching a report. I read in the forum posting guidelines that only txt files could be attached but since when I was about to post I noticed that more file types where available and html format was much easier to read, I'm posting the generated html file. I apologize in advance if I'm doing wrong and if so let me know so I can remove it.

Thank you in advance.

Hi all,

I'm Paulo from Portugal, being using Linux for some time now and I after I tried Linux Lite 3.4 on a VM it ended up in an old Pentium 4 desktop I have and I must say, it works way better than I was expecting! It really brought that machine back to life!

Congrats to the team, keep up with the awesome work!

Cheers!

Hello!

Is there a way to make Virtual Box run smoother? It's very laggy, and it freezes whenever I use it. What is the best settings that I could use to make it run smoother?

P.S: My plan is to run windows 8.1 on it

  Dropbox Updates Error

Seems to be dropbox Wily related.  I have dropbox, but I'm not sure how that got in the list when I'm running a Xenial Xerus based distro.

Namaskar,
    I just logged on LL official website via smartphone. The advertising banners interfere with the layout of Welcome Page of LL OS. I just thought of letting the community know by a sentence. Hope it gets sort out near future.

Thanks,
Sanmay
