  Linux Lite will not play nice with VIA chipset
Posted by: RCND - 06-18-2015, 10:16 PM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (11)

Howdy all:

I have an MSI Motherboard with VIA K8T890/K8M890 & VIA ®
®
VT8237R / VT8237R chips.

My problem is when using any browser my screen will go all white after a bit and will not respond to any commands. I have to do a hard shut down after it does this.

This is not a Linux Lite only problem as it also happens with Mint. I have tried all versions of LL but all have the same problem. The computer is duel boot XP which runs fine.

I had an NVIDIA GT610 card that worded fine but had to put it in another computer.

This has been an ongoing problem since LL 1.0.8 now using LL 2.4 Just love it and want to simply make it work.

Thanks.
Robert

You can select multiple audio files or folders.
After that this window will open.

  Openconnect 404 Not Found - VPN
Posted by: asaldana4id - 06-18-2015, 05:32 AM - Forum: Network - Replies (4)

Hi All -

First post and linux newbie here.

I am trying to connect to VPN for my company but keep receiving a message saying 404 Not found.  I have tried going through VPN Connections using the GUI and I have tried using the terminal by typing in "openconnect vpn.company.com" but the same error message comes up.  FYI, I am able to connect via Windows without any issues. 

Here is the entire log (replaced the vpn address and IP address for security reasons),

POST https://vpn.company.com/

Got HTTP response: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found (does not exist)
Cannot receive HTTP 1.0 body without closing connection

There is also the option of going through the FireFox browser and going to vpn.company.com, however the error message there is as follows,
First message, "Your security settings have blocked an application signed with an expired or not-yet-valid certificate from running"
It continues anyways and here is the second message,
"Access Denied
Your system failed to be validated by the Cisco Secure Desktop and will not be granted access.
Critical failure.
Cisco Secure Desktop must run and validate your system to proceed. Please verify your browser settings and configuration and retry."

Through my research, I am seeing talk about CSD wrappers and certificates.  However, I do not know where to save the CSD wrapper scripts and I am having no luck finding the certificates. 

When I try to copy a CSD wrapper script to the /etc/openvpn/ area, it just goes back to the original directory and doesn't copy over. 

I did find some .cat files on my windows partition in the Cisco Anyconnect folder so I e-mailed myself.  Now, I can't save them anywhere on my Linux partition.

Here is the blog I found for CSD wrapper.  I've read the article over and over but its just not clicking for me.
http://blog.yunak.eu/2013/07/19/openconnect/

I really like Linux and want to expand my knowledge.  Oh yeah, I am probably the only person at my company trying to connect with Linux so help from system admins is a struggle. 

Thank you in advance, all.

  no boot option in BIOS
Posted by: patrick - 06-17-2015, 03:38 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

Hi,

i tried installing linux lite 2.2 now, 3 times..
i've formatted the harddisk, created new partitions: /dev/sda ext4 mount option / and /dev/sda5 swap, also there is /dev/sda2 extended.
The installation was succesful, but linux lite isn't in the BIOS. (tried 2 times like this)

So now, in the installation process, i chose the option to delete previous OS (linux lite 2.2) and overwrite it with the same OS.
Again, installation worked fine, but still the linux lite isn't in the BIOS.

Hi all

I think it's time to kill this old dog I been using HP D530 Small Desktop,  Intel Pentium® 4 4gb Ram it does struggle doing most thing about 15 years old.

I did make a post here about it being dog slow was doen to Hard drive about to fail I got a new onw but still sound like it's going to take off the noises it makes.

I got a better computer ish maybe ten years old Acer  had a OME of win7 I very filmier with windows so was using it to cut video to edit photos I just don't like Gimp.

Talking out load this will work right.
So my plan is load Lite and then use virtualbox and have Win7 should I need to do that kind of stuff.

May main consern is how to make Linux/Lite secure I don't get the fire wall most can just turn on and it does it job, with a Linux I see you have to make rule.

I cannot register for this forum under the account I wanted to.  I set up everything and was waiting on the verification email.  I've clicked to have that email resent to me six to a dozen times and I still haven't received it.  It isn't in a junk or spam folder or even a trash folder.  I've checked.

The account I wanted to use was with my hotmail email.  I'm able to write this because I connected with a social networking account.  I can't log into that social networking account from work.  Therefore, I wouldn't be able to access this forum during the day.  I can get to this forum if I were allowed to type in the username and password that I created with my hotmail account.  I just need the darned verification email to arrive.
