Can anyone tell me what the LIVE boot user name and password is?

I boot up the LinuxLite disk and ran it for a while. Ended up closing the screen to hit the hay
for the night and this morning when I went to open the lid, it prompted me with user name
and pass. I tried several things that other distros use, but no go.

Any help with this will be appreciated!

Hi
My LL has crashed.
I recently updated the software which went without a hitch.  I was prompted to do a restart which I immediately did... now the computer won’t boot.  It starts and gets as far as the screen with the feather, then the screen goes blank and the keyboard LEDs (caps lock etc) flash on-off every second(ish).
I started it in recovery mode (left shift key) and under “Advanced Options for Description” I successfully booted it in 4.4.0-62.  The most recent version i.e. the one that crashes is 4.4.0-64.
So it looks like something went wrong with the last update, is there a way to roll back to 4.4.0-62 and retry the latest update?
Thanks.

Release Announcement

Linux Lite 3.4 Beta is now available for testing. There have been a number of changes since the 3.2 release. See below for all the changes.
Linux Lite 3.4 Final will be released on April 1st, 2017.



Lite Updates Notify - A new application for Linux Lite. Lite Updates Notify is a desktop notification that informs the user of all available updates. Menu, Favorites, Install Updates should be run before executing Lite Updates Notify for the first time. A HUGE thank you to Ralphy for his collaboration on this challenging application.

1. Menu, Settings, Lite Updates Notify.



2. Select a notification frequency.



3. When you receive your desktop notification, you will get either of two messages:





This is a notification only. Go to Menu, Favorites, Install Updates if the notification says you have updates to install. This is an optional application, you do not have to use it if you don't want to and it is disabled by default.

16.04.2 Base - Linux Lite 3.4 is based off 16.04.2, however, we do not include the 4.8 kernel Hardware Enablement Stack. The HWE stacks were never meant to be supported for the entire life of the LTS release. In the past, support has been limited between HWE releases. I prefer to offer people the option to switch to one of our custom kernels should you require newer hardware support, not forcefully impose a newer kernel where it is not necessary or where it may drop support for older hardware.

Lite Welcome - Has been improved by recommending people follow a basic 3 step post-install process. Install Updates > Install Drivers > Setting a Restore Point.





Window snapping by default - Dragging windows to the corners and snapping windows which is a feature familiar to Windows users, is now available in Linux Lite 3.4 Thank you to torreydale for this suggestion.

Joystick support - New in Linux Lite, better support for joysticks.

Changelog:

Kernel 4.4.0-65 (custom kernels also available via our Repository for versions 3.13 - 4.10)
Firefox 51.0.1
Thunderbird 45.7.0
LibreOffice 5.1.6.2
VLC - 2.2.2
Gimp 2.8.20
Base: 16.04.2

There is no upgrade to or from Beta releases. Beta releases are for testing only and it is not recommended to run them as your main or secondary operating system.

Thank you
Jerry and the team.

I've been using Linux Lite 2.8 for the past year and want to replace it now with 3.2.  I downloaded both the 32 bit and 64 bit 3.2 ISOs and and have been following the instructions described under the heading "Writing the Linux Lite ISO to USB in Linux and OSX" and got the letter for my USB stick (sdf).  Next it says, "Open a folder and make sure you are in the directory that the ISO file is in.  Open a terminal in that directory ....."

OK, so then I went to my Downloads folder where I saw the two ISOs, clicked on the white space to bring up the Terminal and entered the command

sudo dd if=linux-lite-3.2-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdf bs=4M

After about a minute, the terminal replied

244+1 records in
244+1 records out
1024458752 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 152.587 s, 6.7 MB/s

Not sure what this meant, I re-entered the command a second time, but this time for the 32 bit ISO and got back the same message (relatively).
The Live USB image never happened on my desktop.  The 4.0 GB USB stick has been completely wiped out and now can only hold less than 1 GB.

Where did I go wrong here?

I also tried the "Writing the Linux Lite ISO to USB on Windows" option, but had no luck with this either.  After downloading Win32DiskImager on my Windows 8.1 laptop and running the Setup wizard, I got the following message

Unable to execute file; C/Program files (x86)\Image Writer\Win32DiskImager.exe
Create process failed; code 740
The requested operation requires elevation

Any ideas on how to get around this?
       

Is there a database where free games for LL can be downloaded?
In an old laptop specs in mind.
I want to be able to download games and play them with no Internet connection.

Thanks

Hi
I researched a bit on the web and some articles say an AV isn't needed on Linux based OS!
Only exception is if you share files (that might be infected) with Windows OS machines.

Well I'm using an old laptop that was destined to never be used again until I discovered LL and decided to run on it for it's low
system requirements.
I intend to use it for net browsing e media entertainment to carry to work etc, I don't intend to share files with other machines but I download a lot o stuff mainly movies/series/music and so on...

Was wondering what you guys think.
Thanks

Hi!

Everytime I turn on/reboot my Toshiba L40 15G  I have to adjust brightness up!
Why doesn't it save the brightness level I want, so I don't have to adjust it all the time?

Thanks for any help
