#LXLE Linux: "To ensure an error-free installation please disconnect from the internet before proceeding."

I thought the whole point of using Linux instead of #Windows was so I WOULDN'T have to do this

A screenshot of /home/qwerty/Desktop/Must-Read on LXLE

I’m at a loss…. I installed #Debian twice to only boot into a black screen after install.

Welp, I guess I am off to the land of #Ubuntu with a quick stop at #LXLE (I don’t think it will install)

Welp, that was a thing. It took 45 minutes to get #LXLE live running, then another 30 to do a full install just to crash and not work.

My expectations were low, but this fell even lower than that.

I then attempted to install LXLE on the bare metal. After boot I just kept getting a black screen.

I booted up #Q4OS with #TrinityDE. It’s fine; it’s just not as exciting as getting Trinity running on my #mangopi #sbc

Okie dokie, I have #Proxmox up and running on the #N100 nuc.

Now I am in the process of starting my first ever Proxmox VM. For this I am trying out #LXLE.

Und wieder ein Rechner gerettet, den meiner Mutter. AMD #Athlon 64 X2 (2007) mit MS Vista (!) läuft nun stabil und recht flott mit #LXLE 32bit- Edition für mindestens noch 3 bis 4 Jahre als Surf- und Büromaschine. LXLE basiert auf #Lubuntu und das wiederum auf #Ubuntu (und das wiederum auf #Debian), stellt aber eine 32bit- Edition bereit.
Lässt sich auch optisch an die Bedürfnisse einer Ex- Vista- Userin anpassen 😜👍

Finally got #samba working again, again, on my #LXLE #Focal64 #linux box.

So annoying that it seems to regularly break after samba is updated.

This time I just could not get it to work again no matter how much I tinkered with smb.conf. In the end I just purged samba and reinstalled it.

After I added my smb user, added a share and restarted smbd, it all just worked . Now able to browse and read/write linux->windows and vice -versa! Hurrah!

And that smb.conf file has also been backed up...

What a pain! Spent ages trying to get #samba working on #lxle focal 64. Able to prove that samba was installed but the #smbd service was refusing to start. Also, trying to connect as a client to other servers failed. Eventually decided to blow away the smb.conf file, replacing it with the default. After that I was able to start the smbd service. Then able to connect to shares and advertise them too. No idea why the "as installed" smb.conf file was such a mess, and needed to be exterminated 😠

Ok, #lxle focal 64bit installed and the #Arduino v2.0.3 appimage IDE just works! 🥳

When I last used this PC it was a speed demon... Now I think it might qualify as #retro to some. It is getting a rebuild/upgrade, #lxle OS, an SSD (a donation), and a #Core2Quad 9650 CPU (eBay). Nearly ready for power up, once I find a PS2 keyboard and mouse.

#retrocomputing ???

Laptop #2 is this HP Mini 210 #netbook I got from a friend who was getting rid of it. With a 1.6 GHz single core Atom and 512 MB of RAM, it struggled to run Windows 7. I boosted the RAM to 2 GB, put in an SSD, and installed #lxle #linux - an extremely lightweight distro based on Ubuntu with the LXDE desktop. It... is still struggling. The only thing it's really good for is typing, and the keyboard is way too small and uncomfortable even for that. Maybe I'll use it as a file server or something.

Para esos ordenadores con unos cuantos años encima, #LXLE, que recién acaba de lanzar nueva versión, puede ser una buena distribución #Gnu #Linux, para mantenerlos funcionando de forma segura y libre.
