The steps I have taken to do this worked, but the resolution of the loading splash screen are low. This is what I did:

Hi guys,

my first time on this forum.

After seeing a review of it on Youtube I thought I'd give Linux Lite 2.8 a try but I'm having some problems.

So far I've download the .iso file of Linux Lite 2.8 x32 (because in my old rig I can only install x32 OS's in Virtualbox). Tried to run (or install) Linux Lite inside the virutalbox but it doesn't even start the installation process. When I load the .iso file from virtualbox everything goes fine (you know, New machine, Amount of memory, etc.) until it gets to the starting (booting) screen of Linux Lite. When Linux Lite starts booting inside virtualbox there's a countdown going from ten to 1 but when it reaches one it just stops. I've tried this also inside Linux Mint 17.2 (running from an external HDD with virtualbox 4. ..something) the same thing.

I'm running openSUSE LEAP 42.1 (x64) as host OS.

Here's a picture of the screen when it hangs.



Some more info. As long as the countdown is running I can select all the options from the list provided (by moving with arrows) and also going into advanced options with tab but after the countdown hits one nothing works anymore.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I bought the Intel NUC NUC6i5SYH.  I got the following config:

16GB DDR4/2133 RAM
256GB NVME SSD
2TB Samsung Spinpoint HDD
It comes with Intel Iris 540 integrated graphics.

I need Windows for one application so I installed that on the SSD. The first hurdle was that the BIOS didn't like the NVME drive so I had to do a BIOS update (from within the BIOS).
The next hurdle was installing Windows, which also didn't like the NVME drive so I had to get a driver for that also.
After that, Windows was fairly painless and the NVME drive is very fast.


Then on to installing Linux on the HDD.  I was expecting problems as I had read online that the Iris 540 Graphics lacked drivers and GRUB was likely to cause issues also.
I was really expecting to have to install the latest short-term support version of Linux (15.10 at the time of writing) but I decided to try my latest Linux Lite DVD anyway (2.6, 64-bit).
Well, it installed and with no graphics issues - or any other issues as far as I can see.  Everything (including GRUB) worked first time.
This was BEFORE I had connected to the internet to download any updates or drivers.

This is excellent and I'm most impressed.  I was expecting big problems but had none at all.

Add to that the fact that Linux Lite comes ready to run in VMs (no need to download VirtualBox Guest Additions) and, for my purposes at least, it's by far the best Linux distro available.

Top stuff.

Edit: Forgot to mention no sound through headphones.  Easy fix found at (https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us...05499.html):

1/ Add the following groups to your account: audio, pulse, pulse-access, video, and voice
2/ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily
3/ sudo apt update
4/ sudo apt install oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms
5/ reboot

Hi all,

I had problems getting Bluetooth devices working on Debian Jessie. So I tested a range of distros Xubuntu 14.04/15.10, Lubuntu 14.04/15.04, Bodhi and Linux Lite.

In Bodhi bluetooth works too but is a pain in the *ss configuring extended monitors. So I ended with Linux Lite, a nice suprise. First distro that works with my bluetooth keyboard without tweaking. Steam included, great!
Big thanx to the Linux Lite team!!

So far I love Linux Lite and use it as my main distro.
I have Vector Linux running on a older laptop and Bodhi in VirtualBox.

Am trying to 'network' an LL2.8 notebook to my 'home' desktop PC (with LL2.8 ) using a 'wired' connection to my router, to copy over some image-files.

Consulted the LL network tutorial "Accessing a NAS device" and found the laptops if address but when I follow the given instructions smb://192.168.0.? where 192.168.0.? is your NAS's IP address. and type them in BASH (on the desktop) I get a "File not found" (even with 'sudo'...)  Am I missing something?

Would welcome any advice, (I'm not a real 'command-liner'...but willing to give it a go  )

Cheers, Tom
