Hello all,

I'm new to linuxlite, and I ran into a small problem, or I thought....
I had a little argument with my computer, and had to restore grub.
But by mistake, I checked an option ''purge kernel before reinstalling'' with ubuntu boot repair app,
and during the process, my laptop battery died, before the whole process could end.

So now, my system won't boot, I'm stuck on splash screen forever.
Ok, I could install it anew, but I have only one partition. my home folder I can access with a live
system on  CD or USB and I could backup my files.

But ... I spent many hours tweaking it to my linking and I was wondering if I could use
a live cd to boot, before chroot in and restore the thing?

Edit : more info on the problem
grub directory is almost empty, no image, no initrd, no vmlinuz.
So is there a way to chroot to this system, and rebuild everything in order to boot from it that any of you know of ?

Just registered on the forum and here to say hello all.
Have just installed Linux Lite after yesterdays review on Distrowatch and I'm impressed with it up to now. I particularly like the LL control centre and a big kudos to the developers for coming up with it.
I have used Linux on and off for nearly 20 years skipping between different distro's as the fancy took me. I was using Ultimate Edition 4.2 until I installed Linux Lite instead, before Ultimate Edition I was using Makulu. I also have some older PC's that run Puppy Linux and similar small distro's. I am also a big Commodore Amiga user and have several of those machines.
I thank you for your efforts on Linux Lite, I will get back to customizing my install now. 

Literally a couple of tips for issues that people might have with Plex that aren't covered very well by the manual.
(apologies if it's a little rudimentary.)


Plex Can't Find Your Media.


This is an issue that arises from Plex not having the correct permissions to access your files. It seems there are numerous ways to overcome this but as a newcomer I found the simplest solution involved typing the following into the terminal:

i have an acer aspire one d150-1165 dual booted with windows 7 and linux lite 2.6.  i can use wireless on win7 but not when booted in linux lite.  linux lite will run on ethernet 10/100 cat5 just fine, but i have NEVER been able to get a linux distro of any kind to run the wireless card except easypeasy and it is much defunct these days.  i am open to most any linux distro but i like linuxlite.  can i get some help please?

For Information.


To avoid corrupting a current specific thread on Samsung SSD I thought I would post this here.
There is so much info floating around, it's difficult to get a clear picture, so here are some highlights.


- An issue with Samsung SSD surfaced with regards to errors generated by "TRIM"
  It transpires that there "was" a kernel issue, now fixed >=3.6


- To make matters worse there is "also" a firmware bug with certain types & sizes of 840/850 ~ Pro's & Evo's
  There is "NO Fix" yet from Samsung, or any statement confirming the issue or the affected types
  What is known, is that people who have recently upgraded the firmware have now introduced the bug
  It causes performance and data error issues.



- TRIM is automatically enabled in Ubuntu 14.04, therefore is also enabled in LL
  It is "fstrim" and is a cron job runs from /etc/cron.weekly ((it is present on all my PC's))
  But if you disable/remove it, then the SSD performance will slowly go down.


- There are "Other SSD's" with trim & data issues,
  I believe this is from the most current kernel "Blacklist", these devices are stopped from Trimming, from


[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)][/color][color=rgb(150, 152, 150)]/* devices that don't properly handle queued TRIM commands */[/color][color=rgb(51, 51, 51)][/size][/color][/color]

I've tried to give Linux a chance several times already during recent 15 years or so... always repelled by elementary problems soon after installation. Seems that things have changed. Tested several distros and decided for LL as the closest to my taste.

Thanks to development team for sharing the results of all the hard work!

Hello

I'm trying to connect to a Linux Lite 2.6 PC with Remmina via VNC, but is impossible.

I have vino server installed, and vino-preferences configured. When I do a " /usr/lib/vino/vino-server " in a terminal shows that this server is running, but I can't connect. I don't have problems connecting other Windows, Linux and Mac's via Remmina

Can you Help me?

Distrowatch reported  sharing the opinion that the friendly face of Linux Lite 2.6 deserves more credit than it gets. http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20151019#lite  8)

I also posted this on Linux Lite's Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/linuxliteos?fref=nf and my local Linux Users Group Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/groups/10197206670/. 

I recall reading a few months ago about the Linux Kernel bug that was causing issues with the aforementioned drives. Forgive me if this is a naive question but given that LL uses an older kernel I was wondering if the issue will have been patched out at this point or whether it's a case of waiting for a newer kernel?

Hi all

I'm using Linux Lite 2.6 32bit and am having  a problem getting Chromium web browser to stay set as default.

Here's the deal. Open "Preferred Applications" and set Chromium as default,the when I open Chromium it tells me it's not set to default blah,blah,blah.So I click yes to make it so.
I verify this in settings.

The fun part: open the  "Preferred Applications" again and it's now set to nothing.Select Chromium again,close the pop up
and back in Chromium again tells me it's not default.This goes back and forth and ticking me off because everything opens in Firefox no matter what default is set where.

Is this a Chromium issue or Linux Lite? Thanks
