Hi, I am windows 10 guy. My laptops are old so I thought I try Linux. I show that your Linux os is very close to the windows. So I am going to try it out. I also have some suggestions on how to make your os more like windows if you can get help with that would be good.

  best Linux tutorials or courses
Posted by: Prateek Jain1 - 05-20-2019, 05:18 PM - Forum: Tutorials - Replies (2)


When it comes to learning a new skill, e-learning sources are preferred more than any physical institute these days. The basic reason is that they are full of convenience and have greater accessibility. Also, some of them are available for free and provides certifications too, so why should anyone visit and pay a whole lot of fees to these institutes.
Though having a degree or certification in a proper format enhances the credibility of your profile or resume. But again not everyone could sit into long lectures and learn a skill. People need flexibility in accordance with time and accessibility. So a huge number of people love to learn through e-learning websites. As we cannot ignore the fact that the online presence of the world is insanely huge and growing day by day.
So as question is best Linux tutorial or courses? so what i suggest that atleast once Check out the best Linux tutorial or courses recommended by programming community.
http://letsfindcourse.com/linux
So as many student want to learn Linux and want certification but unable to find best course or tutorial. So Linux tutorials help student to find the best Linux online tutorial, with detailed information(certification) and it will be easy for student to find course.

  HELP ! - LL 3.8 - Error in update Can no longer Boot up
Posted by: Daveyboy - 05-20-2019, 02:18 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - No Replies

Attempted to carry out updates of a friends Acer Laptop as I had done many time before but part way through the process it reported errors. I thought it best to reun "Lite Tweaks" before making a further attempt at running the updates but Lite Tweaks also reported errors and the machine Froze.


Now when I attempt to boot the machine I get the LL feather displayed as part of the start up process but then the screen goes blank and then displays the following information :-


BusyBox v1.22.1 (ubuntu 1:1.22.0-15ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
(initramfs)

Can someone please please help me boot this laptop up and get it functioning correctly without losing any of the data contained within.


Any assistance will be very much appreciated

  LL freezes up sometimes
Posted by: TMG1961 - 05-20-2019, 08:04 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

Not sure if this is in the right place. The problem is that LL freezes up from time to time. It happens during writing emails, or writing on a forum, facebook or using LibreOffice Calc. Only option is a hard reboot by pressing the power button, the system doesnt unfreeze itself. Yesterday i did ran a memory check during boot and it did not find any errors. Last time it did freeze was this morning. The laptop is a dual boot and i only have the problems on LL. I dont know what to do to fix the problem. I already reinstalled LL but still it freezes from time to time.

  Canon Pixma MG3122 printer/scanner: Wi-Fi won't detect
Posted by: v-grimalkin - 05-19-2019, 11:52 PM - Forum: Printing and Scanning - Replies (27)

The device works fine with USB connection, but I can't understand anything I've read about getting it to connect via my router.  There is no driver available from Canon for Linux, and I am lost regarding CUPS, URI, etc.  The installation disk, of course, is for Windows 7, so it is useless.

I was able to print out the following info:  Canon MG3100 Series, CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.13, Driver: STP00492.PPD (no clue where that came from).

At least I'm using an Acer Aspire One D255E, so I can easily carry it in to the room where the printer/scanner sits, but I would really like to use Wi-Fi for the printing, at least.

  Slow boot (~3 min) on old laptop
Posted by: Sprintrdriver - 05-19-2019, 07:54 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (2)

Hi.
I have running LL 4.2 for about half a year by now. From the very first boot after LL was installed, it took some amount of time for it to boot. Last OS installed on the same laptop was LL 3.6, and back then it bootet very fast compared to now.
Hope you can help me find the reason why. I'll try to add as much information I beleive is needed.

  Install updates error/ stopped seeing MIDI key-board
Posted by: tusyacat - 05-19-2019, 03:49 PM - Forum: Installing Software - No Replies

Hello!

I'm completely new to Linux Lite or any other open source software, basically, I'm null in computers.
I used to use a piano MIDI keyboard (it was such a challenge to install everything necessary i still have no idea how i managed it.

Suddenly QjackCtl stopped seeing it (but the board still turns on).
I thought I should install updates and new drivers but Linux is showing me this:
Install Updates Error log
===========================
Install Updates could not successfully download and install available updates.
Go to https://www.868212.xyz/forums/ and paste the log below into a new or existing thread for assistance.

E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?


Please help! I'm hopeless to solve this by myself!
Best,
Tato.
