Linux Users ( Lxle)

I am using an old netbook ( eeepc 701)

this little laptop has lasted me a while and i love this laptop even if its a bit slow to do some things

For the most part i can do all my light tasks on lxle

It was actually a user named plodr from these forums that suggested the operating system and it has been quite useful for light tasks

I was using 14.04.3 for almost a year and then my nephew accidentally messed with some files and rather than try and fix it i decided to just to a complete reinstall of the new 14.04.4 . I keep my important files on a usb stick and the main OS on the sd card so it didn't really matter that i had to reinstall.

Well this laptop has an old processor so i have to put forcepae for it to install correctly when i was using 14.04.3 this was the same case with 14.04.4 . I never had issues running 14.04.3 and 14.04.4 runs just fine as in a LIVE environment.

However after i installed and booted off the sd card i get a black screen after the lxle logo launches and tries to to the the main UI. instead i only see a logo saying wireless connections detected and a complete black screen with nothing. When i pressed the power button it says the normal things ''shutting off' turning off radio signals'' etc..

Any help on how to fix the black screen issue as i can't do anything


I would have tried posting this on the lxle forums but that websites makes it a bit of a pain to post and create an account that i haven't been able to even create an account due to their system/restrictions

 

I would recommend on following these steps on this page below for more info about your issue.

tried the steps nothing worked still black screen upon boot

Also tried getting iso from 4 different places to make sure that wasn't the issue and problem still persists

by all accounts this should work fine as it has no problem when i am testing the live version

ill try some other things later tommorow

I appreciate and welcome any other suggestions, this is actually the first time i had this issue and i installed linux in about 7 other different machines

 

Update---

The issue was the when i installed the operating system that i put auto login, once i took that off it when re-installing lxle booted fine.
However i can't seem to enable auto login even when i manually do it through the user account it still requires a password.

Not such a big deal but hopefully i can manage to enable auto login
