Hey All,

I am new here and a bit of a linux noobie.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Linux Lite 3.6
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial

Vmware version 12.1 ( with plenty of resources)

I just ran the install updates and did the reboot after it requested. I am having issues after the update with it powering up. After the updates during the boot up sequence it gets to this point Modem Manager Service it seems to get stopped after with this.

intel_rapl: no valid rapl domains found in package 0

I only see this if i login using a terminal otherwise the GUI login screen is just a black screen.

When Shift or Alt+F1 to go to Terminal I can login that way but when i startx it either goes to the black screen again or it tells me

Xauth: timeout in locking authority file

sudo startx i did get in once under the root login.
however now i get xinit: server error

I have searched and can't find a fix for this.
I have tried the PAEVM=TRUE in the .vmx
I know also that this doesn't have Virtual Box installed on it.

Does anyone have any ideas? Can this be fixed or am I screwed with a fresh install?
I believe i have included all the details if i am missing anything please let me know.

Thanks,

Jason

I have a Canon MX922 all-in-one printer that I'm trying to make work with LL, along with a Win 10 desktop and a Win 7 laptop but I've been trying to set it all up for 2 days and have gotten nowhere.

The printer was originally set up in Windows 10, then the Win 7 laptop was added and file and printer sharing is enabled on the Win 10 machine.

The printer shows up under network printers and I can click on it and proceed.  The drivers are found, etc.  However, when I get to the page where asked to describe the printer, printer name, location and click 'Apply', I get the following error: 'server-error-internal-error'

Quite a bit of my hair has accumulated around the computer desk so I've come to beg for help in making this printer work before i lose any more!

Please remember I'm very new at Linux so very specific instructions are needed.

Thanks

After the latest updates, several of my programs will not load (Firefox, Thunderbird, VLC, mines) and when I clicked the suport icon I get an error message "failed to execute default Web Browser. input/output error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I recently got a Dell XPS 13 9360 with a fingerprint reader. It works great, but the laptop needs to be on to work. Under power management for the fingerprint sensor in device manager, I noticed a little check-box labeled "Allow this device to wake up the computer." The box is greyed out, and I can't click it. Is there a workaround or way to make this box clickable?

Please help.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

Thanks!

Which it is or I wouldn't be posting..I have used sudo apt-get update, but am curious to know the solution to this

Had a chance to install LL4.0 today.

I like having the Recycle Bin icon showing on my desktop to drag files there to delete.

When trying to drag a file into the Recycle Bin, a blue + sign shows when the file is on top of the Recycle Bin, but when I let go, a Trash- File Manager opens,  but the file I want to delete doesn't get placed in the Recycle Bin.

Just installed 4.0 to an older Dell Inspiron One (Athlon 2). Quanta Touch screen along with all apps works perfectly. Dual booting with Windows 7 for a friend/customer (network) He is immensely impressed. Once again LL excels.

Greetings! A Lite newbie here. Installed first Lite 3.8 and noticed after two days that 4.0 is out - so, I reinstalled.
I have been using SuSE Linux since 1997 - 20 years - but it has become a huge mess recently, so I began to search for
a new distribution and after testing a couple of Ubuntu flavors, I finally installed Lite - and I Love It!

Jerry & co. have done a great job! Everything works like charm in this one. And no need to buy new hardware.
I used to have 4Gb RAM in my laptop and after opening a session, the browser and a couple of programs, my openSuSE Leap
began to swap and working with it became impossible. And the whole distro is currently just a huge mess - most of the
time just trying to solve problems with the OS instead of trying to do real work with it.
No such problems with Linux Lite, this is so easy to use and fast as heck even though this laptop is nearly 10 years old.

So, nice to join this forum. I don't know how many Lite users there are but in my opinion all of them have made a good choice.

It appears that slow booting has been a problem with Linux Lite for some years. I downloaded and installed LL 4.0 last night and was about to discard it when a search turned  up these steps:

sudo leafpad /etc/default/grub

replace GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash” with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash profile”

sudo update-grub2

sudo leafpad /etc/init.d/rc

find this line : CONCURRENCY=none or CONCURRENCY=makefile
replace with : CONCURRENCY=shell

sudo apt purge virtualbox*
sudo systemctl stop vboxadd.service
sudo systemctl stop vboxadd-service.service
sudo systemctl disable vboxadd.service
sudo systemctl disable vboxadd-service.service

untick the vbox client in the menu, settings, session and startup, application auto-start setting.

I do not think that software so recently released should require a user to do such things, specially as LL is said to have been designed for first time Linux users.

I mentioned recently that rainlendar2 does not work on LL 4.0. (I have a desktop which is still running LL 3.8 and a laptop which has now been upgraded to LL 4.0) I have since found that there is a general consensus on the rainlendar forum that there is some problem with Ubuntu 18.04. Anyway, I tried out various ideas and nothing worked. So I have done what I should have thought of in the first place. On the laptop I installed the older version of rainlendar2 and that is working fine. So, until this is sorted I will stay with the earlier version.

My only question is, if this is ever sorted out, how will I ever know? Still, this is just a suggestion for anyone on this forum who is having the same problem. Meanwhile thanks for a great distro.
