  Dual boot worked for one day
Posted by: Crazy Larry - 01-08-2016, 06:22 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (4)

I installed LL along side W7 and dual boot worked for 1 day but now when I select W7, computer goes blank for a second and then loops back to the grub dual boot screen.  Around and around in a continuous loop .  LL boots up and is a fine program but I still need W7 occasionally.........I also downloaded the LL 2.6 .iso file and burned it to disk.  Do I just run the 2.6 iso and install it over the installed  LL 2.4 ?  I'm not really sure what to do.

  Need some scripting help
Posted by: jacatone - 01-08-2016, 03:33 AM - Forum: Scripting and Bash - Replies (2)

I'm using the following command line to make my username in light red.

export PS1="\[\e[1;31m\][\u@\h\w]\$ \[\e[0m\] "

When I try to make my change permanent in the .bashrc file, it just screws it up. What should I enter into the .bashrc file?

old command:
export PS1="\[\e[1;31m\][\u@\h\w]\$ \[\e[0m\] "

  Asking for wifi login and keyring
Posted by: jacatone - 01-08-2016, 03:24 AM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (3)

I'm using the latest version of LL. Was able to get my laptop to recognize my broadcom wifi but it now asks for my wifi login and keyring password. Anyone know a fix?

  Wifi doesn't work
Posted by: jacatone - 01-08-2016, 02:25 AM - Forum: Network - Replies (9)

In all the years I've been using Linux it's always had problems with wifi and ethernet. Windows solved that issue with Win 95. I'm using a Dell Latitude D620 and forget how to fix the built in wireless. Anyone know the answer? Thanks

  Very new at this...
Posted by: Lynne - 01-07-2016, 10:24 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (13)

Hi, my name is Lynne and this is my very first time at joining any sort of forum at all. Linux Lite has persuaded me.  Smile

I live in Australia and am an older lady.

I have been using Ubuntu (mostly) and Kubuntu (some of the time) and Linux Mint (tried it for awhile) over the past few years and now have just installed the latest Linux Lite version. I am not an expert but I do know a little to get me around the distro. During yesterday when I installed it, I did call in here to find a couple of answers and now here I am ... all new and shiny and saying "Hi".

Lynne ...  Smile
