Hi, Newbe, here.
Not strictly a startup question although it does have a connection. I have posted this question on another site, but, although I received very good replies, I didn't get a working solution. As this is a Lite specific forum, I'm hoping someone here will be able to further advise me.
I have Lite 3.8 installed on my old Samsung NP-N110 laptop and it seems to work fine. When I close the lid and reopen after a time, it asks for a password. This is fine - although I can't figure out how to stop this - but when I enter the password, the screen goes blank and remains blank. I am unable to do anything with it except for hitting the power button to shut it off. It seems to close down OK, as when I hit the power button it chugs for a while then shuts down. Also, the numlock keeps turning on.
So if anyone has an answer to any of the following I'd be grateful:
1. How do I stop the p/w request from appearing when I've closed the lid for a time? (This is on mains as well as battery.)
2. What's happening and how do I prevent the blank screen after I've entered the p/w?
3. How do I get the numlock to stay off on boot up or at a p/w input?
Thank you.
FYI: the p/w request at startup is on, but the same problem with the p/w after opening lid happens even when this is off; the BIOS is set to numlock on.
