  Linux install dual boot LL 2.4/Win 7
Posted by: marnav1 - 05-08-2015, 11:06 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (4)

Did an install today dual boot. Its a generic desktop, I believe its an AMD dual core, 3gb ram and 500gb HD. Everything installed very smoothly, no glitches at all. After a few reboots/shut-downs now it wants to hang on restart into Linux. It will be blackscreen and you see the cursor and it does nothing. It doesn’t do it every time but it does it enough its an issue. You see the feather and do the log in and then it hangs. Any suggestions welcomed.

  successful installation - impressive distro
Posted by: xfrank - 05-08-2015, 05:47 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (8)

I've successfully installed Linux Lite 32bit in an old HP laptop (pentium IV, 685MB ram). I'm very impressed: this distro worked out of the box without hiccups, recognized all the hardware, is good looking and amazing fast. I will keep Linux Lite in this laptop as the only OS.
I have installed previously here Peppermint 3 (also very fast) and Linux Mint 13 Xfce (fast, but less than Linux Lite).
Linux Lite 2.4 is LTS and will be supported until 2019, that is more than the (probable) lifespan of my laptop...

Thanks to the developers, nice work!

  System updates: apt-get or aptitude
Posted by: Kirkx - 05-08-2015, 09:33 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (3)

LL system update script is using apt-get:

/usr/scripts/updates

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

As I was trying out Debian Jessie lately I noticed that aptitude seems to be considered a better choice to do system updates than apt-get because it offers smarter handling of dependencies and has some other benefits. The equivalent command would be:

Code:
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

I have done a test run of both commands (actual updates were aborted) and the output is quite different:

apt-get:

aptitude:

I'm wondering what experts think about all this.

  [SOLVED] UEFI enabled LL2.4/win8.1 dual-boot not booting to LL...
Posted by: m654321 - 05-08-2015, 05:53 AM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (1)

The UEFI enabled dual-boot has been working very well.  Each OS is symlinked to a second drive where my data files are stored.
Following boot-up to the grub screen, and choosing the LL option, LL has at the progress bar screen.
Pressing F4 shows apparently shows at which stage the boot-up is stuck at.  The last two lines read as follows:

Starting    Enable remaining boot-time encrypted block devices
Stopping    Read required files in advance

The odd thing is, if I turn off secure boot and fast boot, it will boot into LL.  I would like to get UEFI back as it makes a significant
difference to both speed and the quality of the graphics (goldfinger, unfortunately, I hadn't got to cloning my EFI partition yet!)

I wondered if someone could help me to get this fixed from the live environment with an LL.iso  DVD - I'm clueless in this department...

Many thanks
Mike

  Signing in to the forum

Using an Acer 5250-BZ467.

When I first joined the forums I had trouble reading the menu at the "sign in" area. It appears almost black on black. If it had my first time joining a forum I might have been confused (okay, I'm confused anyway) but you get the point.

Anyway to change that so it's more visible?

  Linuxlite 2.4 install - can't set UK keyboard as default
Posted by: mcmurch - 05-07-2015, 08:58 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (7)

Hi All

I have recently installed Linuxlite 2.4 32 bit ISO on my Fujitsu Seimens Amilo Pro V3515.
At the install stage English UK was selected as language and keyboard layout. For some reason the laptop defaults to US layout when pc boots up to home page. I have tried to change the settings but nothing seems to work.

Does anyone know how to solve this please ?

  Dual boot Vista
Posted by: marnav1 - 05-07-2015, 02:53 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

Hi all. Want to dual boot Linux Lite with Windows Vista on an HP Pavilion DV6. Got the BIOS changed to boot from DVD/CD and that part went fine. However when it came to installing it on the drive there was no option for install Linux Lite next to Windows. It was erase Windows completely (which I would like but it isn't my PC lol) or the do something else option basically and I don't know how to partition a drive. I am using a fresh download of Linux Lite 2.4 32 bit. Thanks ahead of time. Smile

  [Solved] Remove a menu entry I created
Posted by: T1125P - 05-06-2015, 07:15 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (3)

Hi all. Have a little problem removing an entry I created in LL 2.2 I have wine installed and went ahead and installed Photoshop CS6 for work.  I removed the icon on the desktop and created a Photoshop entry in the Main Menu / Graphics. It keeps saying child process error. I tried to remove it the entry I created but cannot. So I uninstalled Photoshop using Wine, everything is now gone with Photoshop but the entry I created is still there and I do not know how to remove it. Any help would be appreciated Smile


Thank you

  [Solved] Can I run this off my HD?
Posted by: aviator24 - 05-06-2015, 05:53 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (4)

Hello,
I am running this via iso image, version 2.4.  It is on an old XP machine I am trying to bring back to life for browsing use only by the elderly to go in a computer lab.  So far this seems really good.  Is there a way to get it to run off the hard drive in case the disc gets removed?
Thank you...
