My computer has crashed and completely locked up twice on Booting  with the following report

--- 6.603571 Kernal Panic - not syncing : Fatal exception in interrupt ----
----6.603571 drm_kms_helper: panic occurred. switching back to text console

The only way I get the laptop to shut down is to disconnect the battery as holding the power button has no effect

Just a hello and liking what I have seen so far.
I had been using Fedora 20 and it's good but wanted to try some other distro's.
That sent me on a Big adventure, tried PCLinuxOS but could only get grub 18 errors but it caused me to learn to edit grub, so that was good.
Tried PCBSD and that was another boot up error ... unknown file system
Then I saw Linux Lite on Distro Watch.com and thought it looked interesting.
Good Job !
Everything is updated and running good !

Hi All,

I just had to state how frighteningly brilliant Linux Lite is!! Valtam has done a phenomenal and amazing job and it blows my mind the more I discover about it. The nuances and details are truly incredible and I am so thankful to have and be using this distro. It is now going to be my recommended distro for my customers and I hope to be able to assist the project in the future. Thank you for an amazing gift to the Linux community.

Hi All,

One quick question. My laptop has a max of 4gigs RAM and I was wondering if there is/was any advantage of using the PAE over the non-PAE kernel. I installed the PAE out of habit but wanted to check with you all on the pros-cons of the kernels for my system. Thank you.

I'm using Linux Lite 1.0.8.  I'm trying to get a Kodak 3200 to work with it.  I have downloaded the drivers from synaptic.  Lite see's the printer but it won't print.  Can anyone help me with this?


Thanks

Hello, All!

Having used a Hauppauge WinTV USB dongle in Windows 7/8, I've noticed that the software produced by them just doesn't work very well. You're lucky to get it to work an entire hour without it 'locking up' on you.

For the sake of curiosity, I wanted to see if it worked better in Linux, and found that this device works MUCH better in Linux. My guess is that it's because the CPU workload for Linux itself is far less in Linux than in Windows 7 or 8, as trying to do this sort of thing is very processor-intensive.

This is my experience with installing and using this dongle with the Me TV software, which will detect many types of TV cards. First, I installed the needed software. Using a terminal window, I added the Me TV PPA like this:

Whenever the computer is rebooted (or logged off and on) the user needs to reconnect to the Wireless network. Furthermore when they try to do so they are asked for an admin password. Given they are a standard user this is not possible.

I have an account that I wish to auto login with. I have found the docs that tell me how do to this but all of them say you need to enter the account's password. As the account in question does not have a password (and I don't want it to have one) this appears to be problematic.

Any ideas?

Hi,
  I have installed rDektop to replace Remmina because rDesktop RDP keyboard is correct while Remmina is not.

  rDeksktop has a seamless mode which integrates the remote Windows desktop with Linux Lite desktop but I have one issue: the Linux Lite launch bar is over the Windows launch bar so I can't press the "start button".
  At the top of the windows desktop I find a black bar which is similar in size to the launch bar of Linux lite. As far I understand the Remote Desktop should open with an offesset to see it bar. Otherwise I can imagine that the top black strip is for the Ubuntu menu' bar...

  Which editor could I use to edit a bash script to start rDesktop ?

  A last question: one of passwords of my RDP users contains a "!" inside. How to enter the whole password in bash including this char? "AABB!CCDD" (including in double quotes) does not seem to work.
