Today we tried full clean install of Linux Lite 3.8. It seemed ok...until we applied all the updates and did the final reboot. Doing so brought us back to square 1. Had to eventually do Cntrl + Alt + F1 to get command prompt.
Since I had also downloaded Bodhi 4.5.0-64 the other night, we tried that instead. It is working for him (for now) but is slightly odd / different user desktop and didn't automatically set up his HP Envy 5530 printer and scanner so we had to go hunting around for drivers etc. Finally got that working too on the Bodhi installation.
Linux Lite was good for him and we wouldn't mind going back to it someday if we figure out how / what to do in the way of the graphical user interface.
