Hi group....

I recently acquired an ATI Radeon X1550/X1650 dual head video card that I wanted to try and replace my old nvidia dual head card. The hardware scan calls it a X1550, however the internet search says it is a X1650.....it has dual DVI port on board. The pci nvidia card worked ok, but was kind of jittery video playback and sluggish on moving programs back and forth between screens. I was hoping this PCIe Radeon X1650 card would be an improvement with 256MB RAM.

However, I tried to run the Install Drivers option and the new video card is not being discovered for installing drivers.

How can I run this ATI Radeon X1550 card and how would I best remove the Nvidia X server option that was installed with the previous card I was using?

Thanks in advance..........

Hello all,


I suddenly began to have problems with my VPN, either my browser would lose contact with the 'net, or I was unable to connect at all. After much digging and some assistance from my provider, the key problem seemed to be an empty or non-existent resolv.conf file, and the following looked like a fix:


"Use following command and answer YES to enable dynamic updates:


sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf
Worked for me on Ubuntu 12.04.
"


I was also told to enter a specific DNS address in my /etc/network/interfaces file.
After much trial and error I now have my VPN service working again - but now I cannot get a working connection at all without the VPN. I guess that I need to add DNS addresses, perhaps to the interfaces file, or one of the relevant files in the /etc/resolv.conf directory - but I was wondering if anyone had advice about how best to solve this.


Can anyone help me with this? (I am running a 1.x version of LL on this machine, and don't have time to upgrade it - am having a new machine put in fairly soon that will run the latest LL, but need to find a fix now...)


Thanks!

Good for when you are at the local library and the mentally disturbed are giggling foolishly at mindless you-tube videos near you.

We get a lot of homeless here in our library for the air conditioning. Gonna be a 101F today.

Jerry,
is there a way that we can get the updated version 2.92 via synaptic so that we get all the dependencies as well etc.?  Thanks.

Linux lite 32 bit on my laptop.
Synaptic shows that google earth is installed but I can't find it anywhere in the menu.

Actually what I have installed is googleearth-package.

How do I get google earth to show up and run?

Hi,

Thought I'd post here for any insight others may have.  Seems Firefox 38.0 on LinuxLite 2.4 doesn't want to play playback mp3 from various sites.  While likely a Firefox issue just wondering has faced it and found a solution?

Thanks!

Hi
Starting new thread as advised.

I am running Linux Lite on sda7 booting from my Debian 8 boot loader on sda  MBR
Unfortunately  Linux Lite  installation would not allow my Debian Grub2 to work, and from the internet I found I was not alone.
This was a shame as I found  Linux Lite very good to use but wanted to keep my Debian boot loader.
For a time I switched to "Handy Linux" but still wanted to use "Linux Lite " 

My solution though NOT very good allowed me to keep my Debian and other disto's




After generating a grub.cfg with update-grub I edited the Debian grub.cfg with geany.
Finding the first entry for Linux Lite and after the word linux I added these two lines
/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=/dev/sda7 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-24-generic


This addition will of course have to be repeated if update-grub is used again in Debian or the kernel is changed
To make this easier I copied the two lines to the heading and made them comments by preceding them with an #

This allows me to boot Linux Lite from my Debian Grub2 Menu

It may not be the correct way of doing things but it worked

Regards
John

After reading information on the net I installed Linux Lite 3.2 putting Grub on the root .

On running  update-grub on my original Distro,  Linux Lite was in the boot menu and I was able to boot into it.

Its great to be using Linux Lite again, thanks to all  for making this possible.

Regards

John

Hello to everyone !

Sad thing I could not install this version on my netbook Samsung NC110 and it's my first Linux try out. I've made a bootable usb stick as it was described in Install Guide. Since I want to leave one partition untouched where I store files, documents music, etc, I went for the something else option in the installation menu. In gparted I've deleted partition where windows was installed, using a free space, I've created swap partition at the end and made an ext4 root that was chosen for LinLite installation. After intstallation to no avail it only boots iso from usb stick. What's causing this problem..? Maybe someone could explain what I do wrong..?

Thanks in advance,

I have been able to boot from a USB stick. When I first checked for updates I couldn't get my wireless adapter to work. It turns out it wasn't Linux compatible. Got a new adapter and was eventually able to connect. When i checked for updates it downloaded about 80 packets or so and started the install. After installing a message came that said installation failed. I thought it might have been a poor wireless connection so I moved it from the garage and hooked it up via a cable. After all the updates and install I got the same failed message. Any thoughts?

Hello all. Total newb to linux. Thought I'd give LinuxLite a try on an older former XP shop computer. Having problems that I'll bring up in a new post.
