  Running Linux Lite 6.2 on Dell Precision T1700
Posted by: Şerban S. - 10-31-2022, 02:21 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (3)

Hello! Smile

I'm already running the Linux Lite 6.2! Big Grin

I performed the Upgrade, and already have one hour of uptime.
The Upgrade procedure took me 3 minutes flat and went flawlessly.

I checked the following aspects:

  • Lite Software. Apparently, nothing new.
  • Lite Tweaks - Kernel Remover. In this version, it was supposed to remove the first kernel, 5.15.0.33.x Unfortunately, the problem is still there. I cycled about 8 times and it loops through the various packages, without really removing any (-generic, -unsigned, etc.).
  • System Monitoring Center. Someone asked for an update in a previous post. The version is still the same ans if Jerry will find the time to upgrade, I assume will be available through the Update Manager.
  • LibreOffice. The Upgrade Module, performed an Installation of two versions: 7.2 and 7.3. I'm a little bit confused... Anyway, if you have an older version running for various reasons (like I do, for one), maybe it is useful to know that it will still run, when double-clicking on an ODF file (.odt, .ods, etc.). That means the file association works based on the binary file name. Wink Big Grin
Here it is:

Upgradeing:

I belive the Upgrade will be available at different hours, due to server time.
In Romania, it is the EEST, Eastern Europe Standard Time and in România, NOW = 16:10, which is UTC (GMT) + 2.



Happy Upgrade! Big Grin

  Linux Lite Grub Dual Boot Windows XP
Posted by: W-Exit - 10-31-2022, 06:45 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (15)

Hallo liebes Forum
ich "Grandpa" bin komplett neu hier.
Langer Rede kurzer Sinn: Ich habe einen alten Laptop mit einer LinuxLite installation anscheinend komplett "verbogen".
Gibt es jemanden der mich Coachen mag?: Und sei es nur eine Lese-Topic hinweis erstmal ??

As said before I am Linux "Grandpa" and LinuxLite newbee ...
Making long story short: I got an old Laptop which I have sent into the NIRVANA with LinuxLite installation.
Anybody out there willing to help with diagnose / advice ?

So here come the details to my issue:
Old laptop (Siemens Amilo, everything factory standard except: 2GB Ram and 500GB SSD)
was running LinuxLite 3.8 32bit & WIN-XP dual boot setup for years.
until LinuxLite started to ask a password (out of the blue, it never did before)
I tried to bypass this with "rescatux-0.74.iso" and resetting the password to something new / known ... which failed.
At this stage GRUB was still working and offering both OS as choice to boot.
Hence I went on to reinstall LinuxLite 3.8 from scratch (over existing)
The first attempt to reinstall over existing failed too (Unknow System Error Message)
So I went on to reinstall LinuxLite beside existing OS, which went through
(I recall being asked to allocate Space)
and voila, here I am:
It is now offering 2 different Linux Versions to boot (1x not working at all and 1x I am currently using when typing these words)
There is no more Win-XP option to boot, which is sort of painfull - the only (not too much) valuable data was residing there - and I needed this to occasionally & flawless run some older Win Software ....

Possibly these partitions / data is still there ?? It is GRUB not working ??
Since I have self-inflicted this damage  :banghead , I reached out (here in this forum) to seek advice on how to possibly save my old win-boot partition ...

  I read somewhere that: issuing "sudo os-prober" in a terminal window would at least show me if an old windows boot partition was found on the system (before entering into grub details). However: This only shows me 2x LinuxLite as:
/dev/sda1:Linux Lite 3.8 (16.04):Ubuntu:linux
/dev/sda7:Linux Lite 3.8 (16.04):Ubuntul:linux

I am totally expecting this post to be moved "elsewhere", but I feel like being lost with tons of much more experienced people ... (I am currently going through all the dos&dont's Jerry kindly replied to me).

So please accept my rather unexperienced help request.

best regards and many thanks

  A quick RDP question - Tryining to connect access windows laptop via wifi
Posted by: gotLL - 10-30-2022, 05:55 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

Hello all,
I'm trying to RDP into my windows laptop via wifi
I have the user account setup in windows - the remote access turned on for that account - and a fixed IP address
I've installed Remmina  - and setup the new connection - with the IP address
The windows laptop wifi has not been switched off manually - so as far as I can see it is running
However when I try to access the windows laptop in Remmina - I get the response "Unable to connect to RDP Server"

I suspect this is a simple problem - but my first time trying to do this.
Can anyone help walk me through this?

Sincere thanks!

  OS not booting in VirtualBox
Posted by: catgrep - 10-26-2022, 01:14 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

I hadn't run my LinuxLite VM in several months, so when I booted up, there were a lot of updates.  I installed all the updates and rebooted, now I get a black screen and a blinking cursor before it loads the logon screen and will go no further.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to show the bootloader menu or enter a safe/recovery mode so I can restore from a snapshot?  Any help recovering from this catastrophe is greatly appreciated.
