Well, I didn't know if I could get in the BIOS as F2 only brings me back to the GNU Grub screen where I have 4 options:
(1) Linux Lite 2.6 . . .
(2) Advance options . . .
I thought I had nothing much to lose here so I went to see where Advance options. . . would take me. It took me to a screen with several options and the last or second to last options (can't quite recall now) was a choice of Recovery mode??. . . anyway I hit that.
Went through of bunch of rapidly scrolling text then informed me: Errors found on / . . . Press F to fix - and yes, I pressed F
then, Errors found on /home. . . Press F to fix and again I pressed F. It went on to say I'd have to press restart once I logged into Lite.
Within a few seconds I was at the login screen. I logged in, got the grey feathered screen, I restarted, it did the loading thing, no hang ups, took me to the login screen and my own new dtop background.
I restarted once more, went okay. Shut down and restarted and all is okay.
If this holds out -then I'd say I'm okay unless I really and truly have to do something about the BIOS and hdware testing so for now, I'm happily saying, 'sufficient unto the day, the evil thereof'
.
However, my question before the hang ups started was how to change the calendar that shows on the task bar? It's not in English and changing region etc. did not fix it.
Thanks ever so much to all for sticking with me and helping. It makes wanting to use LL worthwhile.
EDIT: fixed the calendar issue via Language Support.
