I booted up and most of my programs are not opening, they show I clicked on them but do not open. Firefox, thunderbird, backup and restore, uninstall etc. I heve rebooted and repaired broken pkgs. repaired boot loader but nothing helped. Terminal works and I was able to open system summary but hardly anything else.I have been using this computer to get comfortable with linux so I am not well versed with the operations but I would like to try to repair it and get some use out of it. If I have to format and start over I would not lose anything important.

Inspiron 1525LL 3.4kernal 4.4.0 -128 generic (x86_64)

Hi there... I'm a windows user coming to Linux for the 1st time.. as I wanted to try something new and lite weight to run on one of my old laptops... I was able to get BunsenLabs working fine.. but found the usage to be hard to grasp.. so google told me that this is a good "distro" to use for windows users who are beginners and also runs well on low power systems.

• I downloaded the ISO fomr your website.
  
• I used "Win32DiskImager" to copy the ISO onto my USB stick
  
• It booted fine
  
• I loaded the application and had a play around.. seems ok and I liked the familiar feeling of it
  
• Clicked the Install Icon and followed the wizard
  
• The app asks me to "reboot"
  
• I remove the USB disk and roboot
  

Hello,


I installed LL 4.0 2 days ago without any problem, I selected to install LL on the whole volume and everything was going fast.


Today, as I verified my hard disk, I saw that no SWAP partition was existing !!!


In fact, as I have 4 GB of RAM, my LL doesn(t need to swap.....but what will happen if it needs ??


Or, may be I did someting wrong during installation ?
Let me know !

Interested to see what shell people are using for their scripting and/or command-line purposes. Thanks!

Hello i'm trying to migrate away from ManjaroLinux because i received a humongo root-kit which i fear reaches into my BIOS.

I am able to use the ISO to install an image, do configuration, and whatever else my heart desires, even checking the HDD -var, -lib and -bin folders to make sure my changes have taken effect, during Live/Safe Mode, however all my changes get reverted (I'm staring at a black screen for 7 minutes...) before i get to the logon screen.

i cannot make any of my changes or updates stick.

How can i be sure i am not writing to my RAMDISK ??

The rootkit owns 2 of my CPU computing cores: htop tells me i'm using 2% of my computing resources, however my cpu fan is whirring loud enough to cut blades of grass i might be compelled to hurl into the vents. This malware runs on linux. The days of my feeling safe about any OS are over. If you're not using an API renaming system, on a heterogenous ie non-derivative Kernel, and a THEOREM PROVER such as Isabelle or HOL to verify the correctness of an operating system-- along with some form of AI just to keep up the patch releases then..goodbye Linux. Hello Microsoft. Please hire me because atleast i know i dont know what i'm doing

Pulse audio equalizer, not working Not just Lite 4, but  any of the "Bionic Beaver" packages on other recent distros. Other than that Lie has, and will be my goto.  Thanks.

hello every body  ;D

nice to see on this board. im a big fan of linux/Gnu from wkwkw land (also known as Indonesia). so this is my 4th trial installation on different kind of distros such as mint, manjaro, ubuntu with various DE and the last is this lite. i think that is the final decision distro i have to use for long period is a lite. it is because of the simplicity i loved it.

talking about this development, i really want to donate to this lite project but i have no paypal account but just local bank account so it is very hard for me. is there any solution for that ? any answer will be apreciated here.

thank you for letting me play on this area  8) im very proud to be a family of linux lite

Hello all in here, I have used Linux Lite now for 1 1/2 year now and I must say I love it, I also got my girlfriend to use it, she thinks it's better then windows too..
have a good day
