I was coping files from computer to external drive when LL froze. I left computer for a bit nothing was moving mouse so couldn't unmount ex_drive. SO powered off computer.

This was old Computer A as I was put a new hard drive in Computer B  that's why copying data across.

on Computer B  see the other partitions of Ex-drive but not the one I had open when LL froze.
I used my neighbour computer Win7 and Ex-drive loads ok and partition opens can see data.

I did look at google most was talk about 3rd party software, as above can see data on Win7 computer.

here is error popup

Quote:Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/Nims/dat: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sdb1" "/media/Nims/dat"' exited with non-zero exit status 13: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0).
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Input/output error

NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a
SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows
then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very
important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate
it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation
for more details.

Hi,

I'm stuck on the boot screen. The progress bar fills completely (never did before, maybe on fourth) and than it just hangs there. Maybe this has something to do with LL acting up in the last days. Sometimes it wont go to hibernate when I close the lit. When I want to shut it down it reboots and yesterday I got an error when waking up from hibernate that the RAM is full and there are no killable processes.
For now the only way to shut it down is to press the power button.

I have run into a problem with my password. It works fine to log in on boot but when I try to do software updates and enter the same password it says the password is incorrect. I have rebooted and logged in many times, no problem with the password but it will not accept the same password for software updates. 

This is a LL 2.6 32 bit install on a Acer AOA150 netbook.

Also did a complete fresh install, still have the same problem.

My computer is AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core processor 3800.  Arch. i686. ram 1951 mb. Grafics Nvidia c516, {GeForce 6100}.  Currently running LL 2.6  32 bit .  I'd like to know if I can clean install LL 2.6 64 bit .

I was trying to install LL 32 bit on my old Acer AO150 net book. I get the error message " isolinux.bin missing or corrupt "  Any ideas why this is happening? Just for laughs I tried my other USB drive with 64 bit LL on it and it boots up. 

Had installed the latest Linux lite onto a USB via unetbootin.
Then installed it to a laptop alongside windows 8.1
LL works great but I get a blue screen error when trying to run windows:
Windows failed to start.... File \boot\bcd, stats: 0xc000000e, Info: Boot configuration data for your PC is missing or contains errors....
Pls help thanks

After fighting and winning a lot battles with problems relating to Linux-Lite  the War still goes on and on so for me its time to admit defeat and go back to Windows . For me LL is not, in spite of all the effort put in by the team, a real alternative to  Microsoft to make LL a everyday user user-friendly with everything using a GUI rather than needing to learn and type in lots of data using a CLI


Thanks to Everyone who have tried to help me in my many hours of need . Unfortunately the ones who do respond are generally into Terminal Commands but not having learnt this low level language with its syntax its difficult for me. How do I know what to do if I do not get the correct response. Is it me or has the solution provider missed some important detail that they expect I should know  etc
At times I made feel that I am inadequate because I want GUI solutions and  I am  not prepared to learn the CLI. If I wanted to be a real geek I could use basic binary 1's and O's to input / output as that is all a computer deals with . Anything above that level is designed to make life for us humans easier . I want the highest level which at the moment is GUI . I just want to use a computer to run  programs and not bother with the OS once I set up its setting to my liking.

I am devoting too much time getting  Computers including Smartphones to work without problems  . We were promised that computer would save us time but thats not my view - they take time away ?


At the moment Windows 10 is working for me ok . Its not perfect and there is too much change for the sake of style .


Good Luck to you all and my you achieve your dreams

Colin

Hello everyone, I am new to LL and have a question. Is it possible to eliminate the need to enter passwords when the system wakes up and when the monitor wakes up. It gets slightly annoying to constantly be entering my password.

Cheers, David.

I have tried installing flash in chromium  through install/remove software but without success.


BBC i Player tells me I need to install Adobe Flash player whereas ITV player tells me I need to update Flash player, so neither player will work in Chromium, yet both work flawlessly in Firefox.


I know I could use Firefox just for these but as everything previously worked flawlessly in Chrome (32bit Linux) I would expect to be able to achieve the same result in Chromium.


Any help or advise in achieving my goal would be very much appreciated
