  How to clean up GRUB?
Posted by: dodo - 04-23-2014, 08:51 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (6)

My GRUB is messy, especially after installing PAE kernel, now i have to go to "Previous Versions" submenu and boot LL from there.
Is there any way to remove all these Memtests, Recovery Modes and such to keep it nice and clean.
Since i have XP Dual boot, i would like my GRUB to look like this:

Linux Lite
Windows XP

pls point me in right direction  Smile

  Setting right resolution and refresh rate
Posted by: dodo - 04-23-2014, 08:37 AM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (9)

Hi,
After installation and update of LL, i can't find native resolution of my monitor in Settings->Display.
My monitor's native resolution is 1360x760-75 Hz
in Settings->Display there is a lot of resolutions on list but not my native.
Currently it is set to 1366x768-59.8 Hz and right border of screen is cut off few pixels.
Driver is probably installed correctly since i can play 720p videos in .mp4 and .mkv formats fullscreen
Is there any way to set res. and refresh rate manually?

  Hello! Nice to meet you!
Posted by: Shadow - 04-22-2014, 09:24 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (8)

Hello fellow users. My first time here at the forums. My name is Shadow. We installed Linux Lite to our main PC(Well I did actually lol) as we don't have the money to upgrade to Windows 7 or 8 or even buy a new PC altogether. Linux seemed to be the only option for us as it's free to download and install sooo, we went with Linux Lite since it's meant to be good with older hardware so far am impressed by it's speedy performance. We've just moved from Windows XP to Linux Lite as it was the only distro we could find that would run on our old PC. It will be our first year with Linux. I do have a question though hope this isn't too much trouble to answer.

Okay so we have one main PC with 3 user accounts. One admin(me) and two normal accounts, the problem is when the other two normal accounts wants to shutdown the pc after use the system keeps asking for my admin password which starting to get annoying for the other two users. How can I make the computer shutdown without the need of my admin password? The version of Linux Lite where using is 1.0.8 32bit on a Dell machine.

Anyone reply thanks for the help. Oh and great OS keep up the good work!

Shadow.

  Hi there!
Posted by: dodo - 04-22-2014, 07:32 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (5)

Hi, i am new to Linux and just installed LL this morning.
I have 12 years old Pentium 4 (2.4 GHz) that still works like charm (i open it and clean once a year). Good old machine. I know it will run for many years more  Big Grin
All those years it ran XP.
My sister uses it mostly for social networking and watching clips on YT, and my mum sometimes play solitaire on it.
I use it for extra storage since it has 2 hard discs so i can free some space on my lap. with Win. 7
LL has everything, i like it already and i hope i will learn more about it.

  (Solved) No Sound on New Install
Posted by: frogprince - 04-21-2014, 07:46 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - No Replies

Okay, I've worked with sound for quite a while. I can show output activity on both Clementine and VLC, but nothing's coming out of the mobo sound port. I've checked the wiring, and that's ok. I've checked all the selections (volume, output devices, configuration, PulseAudio Volume Control, Audio Mixer, the stereo receiver it's plugged into) and all looks ok, but theres..no..sound. Sysinfo file is attached. Any suggestions are welcome, thanks.

- Turned out to be a receiver, rather than computer problem. Thanks.

  Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) Officially Released
Posted by: N4RPS - 04-21-2014, 07:22 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (4)

Hello, All!

Well, on Thursday, April 17th, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr was formally released by Canonical, the people behind the Ubuntu family of Linux distributions. In addition to a new Ubuntu, a new Kubuntu (KDE), Lubuntu (LXDE), and Xubuntu (XFCE) were all released. For the first time, ALL are LTS releases. This means 5-year support for all - in other words, at least through April 2019.

With this latest Ubuntu version being released, it also means that LL 2.0 should also be released within a few months. One need not upgrade LL just because a new version comes out; a lot of people still use 1.0.6 despite 1.0.8 being available, and the current version of LL will continue to be supported for the next three years. Besides, until an upgrade path is developed (which generally makes a mess of things anyway), a 'clean install' is needed to install newer versions - IOW, a LOT of work reinstalling everything - ESPECIALLY if you've REALLY 'tricked things out'!

I've been busy with other matters lately. Therefore, I've downloaded the ISOs of interest to me, but haven't used any of them yet. If any of YOU *HAVE*, what do YOU think about them???

  "This kernel needs pae" .... and my CPU doesn't have it!
Posted by: br1anstorm - 04-19-2014, 09:32 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (6)

So.... I thought I would try to run a LiveCD session of Linux Lite on the older of my two laptops.  It is a Dell Inspiron 8600 with an Intel Pentium M 1.5GHz CPU and 512Gb of RAM.  Old, but not ancient, and it works fine with XP (I'm not into gaming or other heavy-demand high-speed usage).

Didn't get past first base. The live session wouldn't load.  Instead I got a message which said "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU:  pae.  Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU".

Now as far as I am concerned a kernel is what you find inside a nut.  That's all.

Do I conclude that I can't run, or install, Linux Lite on this computer?  Period?  Or if I do want to run some sort of Linux OS, do I have to go for one that is as old and obsolete as the laptop seems to be?  If so that's depressing.  I  had until now believed that Linux would work well on older machines that were unable to cope with increasingly resource-hungry versions of the Windows OS.

Is there a way forward that doesn't require serious geek qualifications?  I just want to get an alternative to XP which works more-or-less straight off.  Like wanting to drive a car just by sitting in it, turning on the ignition, and using the controls in front of me -  not having to tune the engine, adjust the carbs, and fiddle with the spark plugs before I even turn the key!

I am still trying to be optimistic about Linux, and I'm keen to learn.  But I can only work with the hardware I've got, and it isn't looking easy at the moment...
