Wait from one of the Linux-Lite regular members to tell you how to install the proprietary nvidia driver
the Linux Lite way. I fixed mine via command line outside of X which is kind of frowned upon here

A CLI-initiated fix beats none at all...

Ok. I booted into init3 boot under advanced boot settings. Then

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Let it finish

then

Code:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

Let it finish.

Then

Code:

sudo shutdown -r now

to reboot. Problem solved for me.

Edit; more info here because I added the edgers repo to my Ubuntu 14.04LTS minimal iso install repositories.

3. Setup the xorg-edgers ppa

The xorg-edgers ppa provides the very latest nvidia drivers. Run the following commands to set it up.

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa -y
$ sudo apt-get update

Now the ppa is setup and the package information is also updated.

I'd check your repos 1st monkeyman to make sure you don't already have edgers ppa already installed 1st with

Code:

inxi -r

Other members feel free to reply as mine was done on a Minimal Ubuntu 14.04LTS "Icewm" Desktop computer and
my way may not apply to how Linux-Lite Handles a Nouveua and Nvidia xorg glitch.
