Hello
I have Lite and Win-7 dual booting which have been  working OK  for over a year


After a problem with Win-7 I reinstalled it after which I could not boot into Lite (black screen with Flashing cursor


I used  Boot-Repair Disk to mend the boot menu


I can now boot to Win-7 OK .


When I try to boot to Lite the Lite-Splash screen comes up - the progress bar goes normally for a 3rd of the way  but then goes very slowly to the end . The PC then hangs

Wondering if I did something to my system. The other day I made the mistake of doing a "system upgrade" within SystemBack. Lovely program, but I wish it had better documentation. My fault, but I was careless and let it remove some stuff.


Now I can't extract .gz files. I think I was able to before. Is that correct? I did a System Restore using SB, but it didn't help this problem.


Thanks.

Maybe its luck of the draw or since its close to Halloween..  :o



Anyone superstitious  :-X

Greetings and Salutations,

  I have just installed Linux Lite on my Compaq PC, Everything went great until I tried to log into steam via the game manager provided with the installation of linux lite. Everything froze, then after about 20 seconds of wondering what I had done to cause this issue, the screen changed to little repeating echos of the screen all over at a bit of a angle. I tried moving the mouse to see if something on the mini screens now all over the monitor would move and nothing. I turned the system off and restarted, I tried steam again, exact same result. I decided to post on the forum and before doing so I thought to gather the system information to post along side the incident report. well guess what, as soon as I finished deciding where to save the file to, and it began to run the scan, boom, same deal. So I opened the computer and got what information I could. It has 2 gb ram, an AMD Athlon x2 cpu, and some variety of nvidia graphics though I don't see a stand alone card so might be the onboard. Please help!

Thank you for your time and consideration,
Tycho

Firefox uses version 11.x in Linux Lite.  So until you see a security update for that (they’re saying sometime next week), you might want to consider using Chromium or Google Chrome for browsing.

Hello Linux lite friends.

When my windows pc died i decided to give this Linux stuff a try again. I had tried to install mandrake linux about a decade ago, on a laptop i had back then. It was horrible, video wasn't supported and i had to change the config file and even then most of the hardware wasn't supported. I decided linux wasn't for me.

But now i thought lets see how things have changed, and wow i must say things work a lot better i mean really a lot. It almost all just works on first install.

I needed a lightweight distro and so Linux Lite was my first choice. I tried ubuntu, Debian, mint etc. But Linux Lite is my first and biggest love it seems.
I really like the tools to install extra software and config samba. I love how clean the installation is. If i need more stuff i just add it myself.

And i even had to reinstall it, because it messed up my groups and couldn't do sudo anymore.  :-\
Well i guest that is part of learning how to do stuff.

TL;DR;
Linux lite team, thanks for all the hard work.

Hello! I'm trying to expand my knowledge on Linux-like operating systems, and coming from a Windows background, I thought Linux Lite would be a good place to try. So far I'm pretty impressed with just how lightweight it is. I do have some questions regarding as to how to configure it, though.
I'm using version 1.0.6, (mainly because I like the style, and for the compiz-fusion-addon compatibility. Gotta have my eye candy  8)).

How can I configure the login and boot screens? Such as changing what wallpapers are used, where the images for them are located, and how to change them? I know how to change my userface, but nothing else. I also know how to change the desktop settings, but configuring the login page seems a lot less straightforward. I'm aware of the /usr/shared/xfce4/backdrop directory, but that seems to contain only the desktop background images, not the login or boot screen images.

Is there an easy way to use LinuxLite to repair Win 7 password without using a CD or USB .


A third party has locked me out of Win 7 which is dual booted with LinuxLite . I have tried several Bootable repair Disks which have either failed to boot properly or require Input details which I am not able to supply .
