Hi
I am a new Linux user. I replaced an old laptop running win7 with Linux lite. I got to the login screen. I then pressed the restart button and my screen went black. I tried to Re boot few time but still getting only a black screen. I tried to press several keys as suggest by other posts in web without any success. Please help

I saw this procedure elsewhere but the locations were specific to another distro...
Has anyone done this with Linux Lite ?

sorry... edited original title to 'system install' and not update

Hi,

Am referring to UNLIMITY's question and misko_2083's reply in regard to update notification in this post:
https://www.868212.xyz/forums/off-t.../#msg13041

Does anyone know whether Synaptic's update notification (-> Settings -> Repositories -> Updates) is actually working respectively why not? It would at least cover security updates. Also don't know why "When there are other updates" options are deactivated.

Wouldn't that feature mainly cover what UNLIMITY has been asking for? For a good reason

Very new to Linux so please bare with me. I need to use silverlite for some of my online programs that I use for Real Estate but I am getting no where. I tried following several installation guides but none worked.

Hi folks,

I have an interesting issue crop up this evening.....I was changing out my dual screens and switching them around. Everything seems fine with all apps excepts one wine app i run. For some reason, after the splash comes up on the main monitor, the application never shows up. It is visible in the task manager as running, but is not visible on either monitor. I have tried shifting the monitors around in the Nvidia set to try and find the app, but cannot locate it.

Anyone have some ideas had to get the app back on the main monitor.....or at the very least force wine apps to run on the main monitor, so I can find this app? ???

Thanks.

Ken

1) Keyboard settings - Has been brought up many times, in many posts. We're yet to find a solution.
2) Language Support - This is related to point 1. Therefore we provide a comprehensive tutorial in the Help Manual.

Just as a matter of interest, do the gurus behind each distro ever "talk" to each other. I get the impression that in some areas LL is having to reinvent the wheel as it were? My usual comment that the default set up process for Mint & Puppy  means that keyboard & Language work straight off, and the problem with Google Earth and video card drivers does not raise its head.  This is not meant to be a criticism but  hopefully a helpful prompt??  Says he who has never coded anything in his life

Some devs do communicate with each other, remember linux is all about choice. It's a catch22, unify and seek common ground and users will benefit (self explanatory), keep the status quo and the users benefit (give people options). Continued discussion on this best suited to On Topic.

Windows 7 64bit installed on laptop, installed Linux Lite 64bit and all good. Boot Laptop and grub comes up with LL and Win7, can boot either. What I would like to do is to be able to boot to the Windows boot screen and select either Windows or LL. I have EASYbcb 2.2 installed under Windows but can't seem to configure it to be able to boot from the windows boot screen. I know how to restore the Windows MBR but obviously don't want to do this until I can boot LL from the windows boot screen. Any help appreciated using EasyBcb or any other way to achieve my goal.. 

Hey, So I've been playing today a little with my Linux Lite



and I wanted to know, how to make the panel icons minimazable, or how else to say it.

What I want is. I want the panel icons work the same as the whisker menu works, I don't want any tabs (like the FireFox one in the picture), so the icons will be highlighted if the window is opened or minimized (as the whisker menu in the picture). Click the icon to open and minimize window. First click will open the new window. Right click > new window to open second window.

Something like Unity's left panel. And its pinned icons.

I know it's possible, but it will be hard to do probably. Docky is not exactly what I want.

Thanks.

Me again.....I have noticed that it seems that syslog is missing on LL 2.2 and at least 2 machines built recently. My desktop has a syslog in the VAR/LOG/ folder, but it is empty and dated back in November of last year.

What happened to the logging that posts to syslog, as it is needed for some troubleshooting of other software? ???

Thanks,
Ken

I formated drive started to install 2.2 from ISO 32 bit seem be going OK till making user.

On floating box Creating User blue bar gone seven blocks across and stored moving. Been sitting there for about 30mins.

What should I do
Start again reboot box?

Thanks.

To add ISO is loaded on usb not dvd I used to unpack ISO UNetbootin.
