| New splash screen? |
|
Posted by: Monkeyman - 11-14-2014, 12:02 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown

Sometime over night, my computer rebooted (that's another thread already started). Until now, I'd get a black screen. Today, I got some sort of gray screen with an icon dead center (I didn't notice what it was) and 3 icons at the bottom (shut down, restart and something else). I didn't like those options so I hit the unlabled icon in the center and got a password prompt. (I've always had things set so I didn't need to enter my password.) Entered my password and everything came back up as normal (although it was obvious the computer had rebooted since my previously opened FF tabs had to be restored...not a big deal). I don't think I've changed any settings but I did update the other day.
I looked at https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...opic=942.0 this thread and https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...opic=711.0 this one but not sure they apply. Neither mention this odd (new) splash screen.
Any thoughts? I wasn't able to take a screenshot as it doesn't appear I was logged on.
EDIT: I just rebooted and it looks like I have the same problem that a couple others are having in the 2nd link I posted. I'll continue this there.

hello,
i have used various distros over the last two years starting with ubuntu then moving to mint. I have tried a vast amount of them even using suse enterprise (still have a license lol). Anyways so far i love Linux Lite just the fact the packages are from the same place makes me feel right at home. I really like the speed of LL on my laptop and its only using 700mb / 6000mb.
Anyways i plan to stick around.

Release Announcement
Linux Lite 2.2 Beta 1 is now available for testing.
This release is the culmination of ideas and suggestions from the community that improve upon Linux Lite 2.0. We've added Backups a very simple to use backup utility, Date & Time, File Search and our newest members to the Linux Lite software family, Lite Cleaner - an easy to use point and click system cleaner and Lite Welcome - greets you on first boot, gives useful information about Linux Lite including Updates, Support and Development. There are also improvements to Install Additional Software, allowing you to choose multiple programs at once to install. There is also 'Check Install Media' that has been added to the Live boot menu and finally, we've added some community created Linux Lite themed wallpapers.
As usual, you still get the latest LibreOffice, VLC, Wine and Gimp.
New Program locations:
Backups - Menu > Accessories > Backups
File Search - Menu > Accessories > File Search
Date & Time - Menu > Settings > Date & Time
Lite Cleaner - Menu > System > Lite Cleaner
inxi has been added by request.
New adjustable size mouse theme added.
Mumble has been dropped.
Added md5sum check to right click menu.
Added libreoffice-gnome to open files on a NAS.
Launchers now use exo-open instead of xdg-open.
Fixed power settings/screensaver conflict.
Wallpaper credits:

[img height=530 width=800]http://i.imgur.com/eC9w3ua.png[/img]
Both of these iso's come in at 740mb, this means that we are no longer able to fit onto CD. After careful discussion with the community, the overall feeling was that what we offered people in terms of software and function was of greater importance than fitting on a certain media size.

Live USB/DVD/VirtualBox/Vmware: Login is automatic, no credentials required.
The image can be written to a 2gb or larger USB stick, or a writable DVD.
Alternatively, you can use the dd command: sudo dd if=linux-lite-2.2-beta1-xxbit.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M where 'x' is the letter of your usb stick.
In linux to find out the letter of your usb stick, open a terminal and type: df -h It is usually listed as 'media' or similar.
Please see the built in Help Manual if you require a more detailed explanation of this procedure.
There is no upgrade process from one Linux Lite version to the next because of all the in-between modifications. All Ubuntu 32bit kernels these days ship with PAE.
Recommended Hardware/Minimal System requirements:
700 MHz processor+
512 MB RAM+
5 GB of hard-drive space+
VGA capable of 1024x768 screen resolution
Either a DVD drive or a USB port for the iso
Login to the live desktop is automatic.
The first thing you MUST do after a fresh install of Linux Lite is run Menu, Favorites, Install Updates.
As this is a beta release, there are bound to be bugs etc. Please help make the final stable for other people by participating in this Beta.
Thank you.

| [SOLVED] Video Card before or after install?? |
|
Posted by: ChrisL - 11-13-2014, 04:33 PM - Forum: Video Cards

Hi,
I likely am doing a LL 2.0 64 bit install soon. The system will have a GeForce 9600 GT SC video card. The card is currently not in the machine, and I am wondering if it would be simpler to put it in before install or after and then update?
I ask this I guess as I struggled a bit on my last install with a GeForce FX5200 card with blacked out screens, etc.
I ultimately want to get this card on board with the 340.XX drivers.
Any thoughts, or experiences? Thanks.
Chris

| [SOLVED] Additional Software availability LL vs. Mint |
|
Posted by: ChrisL - 11-13-2014, 03:27 PM - Forum: On Topic

Hi folks,
Just a couple questions here. I run Linux Lite on my oldest, slowest computer and Mint 13 on another old computer. I loaded the Mint 13 before I found Linux Lite, but overall it's pretty good (Mate Desktop which seems pretty light as well).
I recent acquired a significantly better 64 bit Tower machine, an HP dc5800 with the Intel Core2Duo 3.0GHz. Compared to the others it screams and I expect I could actually utilize STEAM if I want. It actually seems faster than my I5 laptop which has 2X the momory - but getting off topic here. I am deciding whether to go with Mint Mate 17, or LL 2.0 (both 64 bit) for an OS.
My preference overall is LL, but the last nagging concern seems to be the availability of software. Mint has the Mint Software Manager with thousands of packages - which is bright, functional, has categories, like shopping at the software store but everything is free. It clearly has it's appeal.
Upon a little more investigation it seems like most (maybe all?) that software (in the Mint Software Manager) is available through Synaptic Package Manager ... is this actually the case? I can certainly do without all the glitter (though I must admit the Categories set-up is nice) but I would like access to at least most of the same software. Of course I expect it goes both way too, with some software available in LL through the "Install Additional Software" application probably not available easily available in Mint, and this LL tool has worked great for me. Just trying to get the big picture here.
My last question ... is the Synaptic Manager in Mint and LL identical (in terms of software content) with the exception of Distro specific stuff? I am guessing its' Ubuntu and pretty much the same?
Thanks!

| Worksheet tabs in Libre Calc |

I recently changed some themes but yesterday I didn't notice the problem I see today (after not touching anything), namely:
the worksheet tabs in Calc have shrunk to such low height that they are barely visible.
How can this be corrected please?
In Elementary we went into a themes folder and manually altered the .usr/share/themes/gtk2. I am using xfce-dusk and tried to do that but to no effect.
In the Windows Settings there are another set of themes different from those in Appearance which control the windows so I don't think that's got anything to do with it.

| Grub broke Windows bootloader? |

Decided to reinstall LL on a 30gb partition I set aside for it after my previous installation lead me to a wallpaper with no desktop, leaving me to resorting to using the application launcher exclusively. This was shortly after messing around with different emerald+compiz configurations after getting rid of Kwin. Probably a different issue for a different thread but any thoughts on that would be appreciated.
I was attempting to use the Easy BCD method I discovered on Matthew Moore's youtube channel which worked like a charm the first time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dwwSSg-kJM
after the installation was finished, I selected restart as prompted (mistake?) and the LL loading screen came up and took an unusually long time. I think at this point in time I did a manual reboot and learned my windows bootloader would not work and was giving an error for a neogrub0 mbr file or something similar. "status: 0xc000000f"
went into LL live usb. Used Gparted to delete the LL partition I had made and did ANOTHER fresh install this time making sure to use grub as the bootloader for my only hdd assuming I had no other options to boot into windows at the time. No luck.
(LL loading bar came up again and took an unusually long time again, pulled USB stick out prematurely and rebooted)
HP recovery disks allow me to "restore to a previous time", it's successful. Not sure if it's before or after this current install, either way it was ineffective in allowing me to boot into windows. Even went as far as to /FixMbr + /FixBoot in command prompt.
All that did was rid me of the neogrub0 error.
currently stuck with a LL install that wont download new software and has the same issue not operating properly after waking up from suspension as my first install :'(
