Dell Inspiron 1525 Auto Reboots - Hardcoretexan - 03-08-2015
First off I just installed linux lite and have no experience with linux.
My original post was about not being able to connect wirelessly but after multiple updates the problem has fixed itself.
Now the problem I have is everytime I reboot I get stuck in an auto reboot cycle.
I get to the instruction page telling me to do updates first but before I can update the computer shuts down and restarts.
I have to turn it off mid boot to get to a repair screen and I use the repair features to rewrite everything and then it boots up with no problems.
I use advanced options then recovery mode and then update boot loader.
It runs through the scans and I can barely make out a fail on starting smb(but it restarts too fast to write down the rest.
but once it reboots now I am fine.

I would install ufw , if it s not installed in LL already , to enable it at startup , just do this in Terminal ;
sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install ufw ; sudo ufw enable

For people who are coming from windows or people who are uncomfortable with the command line, gufw is a gui for "ufw" The Uncomplicated FireWall. Gufw is described as: gufw is an easy and intuitive way to manage your Linux firewall. It supports
common tasks such as allowing or blocking pre-configured, common p2p, or
individual port(s), and many others!
It can be found in Main>System>Install/Remove Software.

You might want to look in dmesg maybe for a clue as to the reboots.
I am on my Slackware netbook so just a example of what and where I am talking about.
Code:
harry[~]$ cd /var
harry[var]$ ls
adm db lib log man rwho spool tmp
cache empty lock mail run slapt-get state
harry[var]$ cd log
harry[log]$ ls
ConsoleKit cups lastlog pm-powersave.log samba spooler
Xorg.0.log debug maillog pm-suspend.log scripts syslog
Xorg.0.log.old dmesg messages removed_packages secure wicd
btmp faillog nfsd removed_scripts setup wtmp
cron gdm packages sa sourceryThen to read
Code:
harry[log]$ sudo cat dmesg

Also. Does the computer shut down or reboot if in terminal you use
Code:
sudo shutdown -h nowEdit: Not sure if systemd made that command irrelevant or not anymore but it won't hurt to try it out.
