  [SOLVED] Lite hangs at boot I know what it is - USB KVM switch
Posted by: DLX - 08-18-2014, 04:23 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (8)

Keep getting above error trying to post  :-\

I looked about found other with same problem not found a solution for this. I'm not pretending to know what I'm doing with Linux. On boot computer hangs I get blue screen with text I pick top one then I get a black screen with a flashing cursors.

This keeps happening each time I boot was hoping on update would fix this.
How I get round this Boot get blue screen with text I pick top one then pull USB cable out back of computer then I get next screen image grey with feather and back bar loading at bottom once bar bar is starting to load I pug USB back in.

One booted in the keyboard works fine through the KVM, I have had a look at BIOS the boot order see about putting it 1st in list.

I also looked at keyboard setting can't see anything there.

I will look at Gold finger post about pressing left shift Link removed

Quote: pci  noacpi to the kernel boot parameters allowed me to boot without disconnecting the usb kvm.
Someone post this but I don't have a clue if it fixes problem or how.

Thanks

  Sound Broken in Toughbook
Posted by: Robbz - 08-18-2014, 02:38 AM - Forum: Sound - Replies (5)

Hello,

I got a Panasonic CF-U1 Toughbook, I installed lite and got everything to work including touchscreen.  (that was everyones big problem with the hardware)
The only thing that doesn't work is audio. It will play but is glitch-y as it plays, almost like its skipping.
Tried multiple apps and everything does it out of the speaker or headphone jack.
Panasonic of course is no help, and the internet doesn't have much to offer about using this hardware.
Please note audio work perfect before on winblows vista before install.

Any ideas?


(also hello Jerry!)

  Sees wireless network, but doesn't recognize password
Posted by: ultrastevep - 08-17-2014, 03:51 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (1)

This happens to me at all hotels and now at a place I am staying at that has wireless. I have been using LL1.08 for about 8 months and at home my wireless authentication password was initially recognized and then always automatically connected, but nowhere else can I get a connection. it'll see the networks, but the passwords are never recognized and I have to always switch back to W7 to connect.
Anyone else see this issue?

Thanks....am planning on loading LL2.0 as soon as we move into our new home and I have time.

Hello from the netherlands,

I have installed and tested on LL 2.0 and find that this release (3.17Rc1) is quicker than 3.16 and used lesser memory.
Here it used 239 MB.

Ok, I usually can get by on my own figuring things out. But this is the 2nd run with the installer on this netbook.

It's been on this screen for about a hour now after copying files. TOP tells me nothing about installer running. Only says one process running , which is TOP. Nothing about the installer.

Since this is the 2nd effort. I figured I'd post this. Because I do not expect a different result on the 3rd try.If you wish to see partition layout.

Everything else is working OK on this usb install as I am posting with it.
But this makes me wonder if I should blow it away and start from scratch
with a new made live usb install in case something got corrupted in the installer between
last night and today.

Kinda my track record this past week on my gear. Flat tire on bicycle. ChromeBook will not recover
and is a glorified door stop for now. My finger tips are sliced up from working on brick.
I am in a bad spot of the universe this week I guess. Any encouragement or suggestions welcome.

I can't win for losing in certain situations this week I guess.
I just looked at the installer again. No progress. I am shutting this down.

Edit: This is a OCZ 180 gig 1.8 mini sata ssd drive that arrived in the mail today and is what Linux lite 2.0 is being installed to.
I had no problems installing this on a Apple 120 gig 2.5 ssd drive that came in for the compaq cq57 last night.
So Pebkau does not seem to be the issue here. If anything. I figured I would have had a harder problem install on the Apple hard drive vs this OCZ.

  [SOLVED]Network Issue - DNS Resolution Anomaly
Posted by: Wirezfree - 08-16-2014, 01:52 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (3)

Hi,

Bit of a strange one, or I'm being stupid..!!, LL2 on my HP Laptop

Have installed a new Wireless Router(Asus N66) connected to my Broadband Modem.
The install set-up all seemed fine, Router connected to my ISP and I can see WAN & DNS addresses O.K
However, when I open my Browser, "Page Cannot Be Displayed" , So open a terminal and do some pings:

BBC By IP:

Code:
dave@hp-laptop:~$ ping 212.58.244.119
PING 212.58.244.119 (212.58.244.119) 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from 212.58.244.119: icmp_seq=3 ttl=53 time=21.5 ms
^C

BBC News By url:
Code:
dave@hp-laptop:~$ ping news.bbc.co.uk
ping: unknown host news.bbc.co.uk
dave@hp-laptop:~$

So...
I think DNS, recheck router all seems fine, to further test fire up my daughters Windows laptop connect to router that works fine....

Then... I add a DNS Server manually to the connection in LL2 in the connection manager settings, re-start it, and ping again

BBC News By url:
Code:
dave@hp-laptop:~$ ping news.bbc.co.uk
PING newswww.bbc.net.uk (212.58.244.61) 56(84) bytes of data.

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 21.058/21.468/21.731/0.275 ms
dave@hp-laptop:~$

So that works, and also web browsing now works.... So I'm now a bit confused.??

The only thing I can think of.?
My new router's LAN is in a different IP range compared to previous...
So as LL/Network Manager got the old router settings cached.?, and adding the DNS manually is overriding that.?

Any suggestions/ideas welcome.
Thanks... Dave

  installed 2.0 and will not reboot
Posted by: hardball45 - 08-15-2014, 10:16 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

i installed 2.0 after using the live CD to verify that my dell laptop would run the software with no issues, I then proceeded to install 2.0 next to the windows 7 installation. once it completed the installation process it asked if i wanted to continue testing or reboot, i selected reboot and it ejected the CD, i pushed the tray back in, the screen has the picture of a feather and a bar on the bottom that continued to move, i tried hitting the enter key like i have in the past for getting out of the live CD, the screen stays on the picture of the feather and the bar on the bottom continues to fill up, after 20 minutes it is still there. is this a normal thing on reboot, should i have selected continue testing and then shut down the normal way? is this a bug in the installer like the screen freezing if you select encrypt the home drive at install?
