  Cannot Install 6.0 in Virtualbox
Posted by: enigma9o7 - 06-03-2022, 04:31 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

Not sure why.  I've installed other distros succesfully.

I get the grub menu, and have tried all options.  All just end up eventually hanging with black screen....
I also tried enabling EUFI boot to see if any different, but no.

Virtualbox Version 6.1.34.  I imagine this post isn't very useful, I came here looking for info expecting to not be the first with this problem....

  Overwriting LL5.8 with 6.0 dual boot
Posted by: deejay - 06-02-2022, 07:47 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

Hi

I have a dual boot LL5.8 and win 10. Tutorials seem to be aimed at setting up new partitions ready for new installation. Not sure how to write LL6 to existing LL5.8 partition; overwrite, delete existing partition or just install as per existing instructions? If so, do I still use the 'Something Else' option on the menu as before? Many tnx.

  Bug with the installer for 6.0
Posted by: Ralph Bromley - 06-02-2022, 01:25 AM - Forum: Security & Bug Fixes - Replies (2)

Hello folks, I'm new here and had encountered a bug when installing the latest version of Linux lite.
It happens only when I tried to install Lite 6.0  when hitting the "Install linux lite" via the greeter, it doesn't do it with the standalone installer.
Basically, the installer hangs and does nothing.
It works when I hit the installer icon on Linux Lites live desktop, but it seems to bug out when I do it via the greeter.
It's not a dealbreaker, but it did trip me up.
I am using a live USB, MD5 checks out and I used the MX linux USB creation tool.
I mean the bug could be because of the latter, I usually use etcher or unetbootin but had MX linux installed on this machine so used its in built USB creation tool.
I was just curious on how well linux lite would perform on my old gal of a laptop compared to MX linux 21 XFCE, here are its base specs if you are interested:

Computer model: HP ProBook 6470b
CPU: Intel Core i5-3230M @ 4x 3.2GHz (dual core with hyper threading)
GPU: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 4000
RAM: 8 GB
Kernel: 5.15.0-33-generic
Hard Drive: Western Digital 1TB HDD + Kingston 250 SSD(I have a caddy that converted a DVD drive into a hard drive bay)
So yeah she's a circa 2013 lappy that I put linux on, shes doing pretty good for her age.

Edit: typo

  md5sum of .iso is OK, but the sum of some files from md5sum.txt are not
Posted by: Cormor - 06-01-2022, 04:38 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - No Replies

Hi,

I downloaded and installed Linux Lite 5.8 some days ago and I encountered this problem for the first time. It strangely disappeared and I didn't investigate why, or really pay attention to when it disappeared (I believe it made it alone, without the need to run dd again...) But I saw that the 6.0 was about to release, so I decided to wait today to make a fresh install (with a larger memory stick).

Now I have this issue, again. I ran the dd command several times. The files involved are always ./md5sum.txt and ./boot/grub/i386-pc/eltorito.img but sometimes I also get an error with ./EFI/boot/bootx64.efi and ./casper/filesystem.squashfs, and it changes sometimes without even running dd again.

Thinking my USB stick may be corrupted, I tried another storage device (SD card). But again, I got errors on ./md5sum.txt and ./boot/grub/i386-pc/eltorito.img. It is still possible that all three storage devices are corrupted (they are old), but this is odd.

Does anyone have that too? Is it okay to proceed to installation?
(Also, how in the hell has the sum of md5sum.txt been computed?)

  Anydesk not working after ugprading to LL6.0
Posted by: iggi3z - 06-01-2022, 03:42 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (4)

I have just upgraded to LL6.0 and tried to install anydesk by downloading the official 'anydesk_6.1.1-1_amd64.deb'.
However, anydesk failed to launch. This worked flawlessly on LL5.8. Anyone able to help or replicate the issue?

Thanks

  LL6.0 Final Installation Failure
Posted by: Ozpos - 06-01-2022, 05:20 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

Hi All,  Thanks again for this distro.

I have been using 6.0 RC1 for a while on a second HD and have just attempted an install of Final to my first HD but the install failed and I cannot access my original RC1 as the grub boot has been overwritten.

Can anyone help me restore grub config so I can access my second HD ?

Also does any one know what I should do about the error I got when trying to install Final.

I burned the USB flash drive using the dd command as shown on the LL install webpage.

  Migrating apps and config from LL 6.0 RC1 to 6.0 Final
Posted by: Ozpos - 06-01-2022, 02:34 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

Hi All,  Congratulations and a big thank you to all those involved with the Final Release.

I have been using 6.0 RC1 for some time and I know there is not an upgrade path to Final. 

Could someone please tell me what is the best way to migrate my apps and config to a new install on a second drive in the same machine ?

Many thanks in advance,
oz.

  HELLO I AM NEW and have an error log to POST
Posted by: ridevaquero - 05-31-2022, 08:40 PM - Forum: Updates - Replies (2)


My story:

I hate Windows, its bulky, slow, bloated and invades users privacy. Even when I shut internet off (airplane mode), I noticed an VPN server suddenly activates (Express_VPN) and sends MY data to Microsoft, without my approval.This is unacceptable that I have NO control. Also, the incessant fighting between Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome for control of my browser and  my data. Also I do NOT want my data on a cloud.

So I am learning LINUX, began recently with a 32 bit machine. I want to carry my data with me and boot up on any machine with a LINUX USB portable drive, do my work and take my data with me. I am working on intellectual property  (patents).

This is first time I have written to  this forum (I believe), at least in regards to this installation (64 bit).  My hard disk does not work it had Windows 10/11, but I am not sending it to HP to fix, it has patents applications. So I am using a USB drive that I burned an image file of LINUXLITE To BOOT into LINUXLITE with old Toshiba 32 bit machine that I bought for $100 dollars that also had Windows 10/11 but was slow as molasses, so that was the original reason I started using Linux ( I am a poor Mexican).  Tried many Linux versions (UBUNTU, MINT, etc) and found to be still slow but finally got reasonable speed with LINUXLITE on the 32 bit machine, but still not completely happy since a little slow but workable.

I saved my money and bought a new 64 bit Windows 10/11 machine. However, THE hard disk failed (this machine) i am typing on. Since I had some success with LINUXLITE on 32 bit I decided to use LINUXLITE also for 64 bit. 
However, a complete USB install fails to a portable USB drive (its a 128 GB USB). However, for the last several months I have used my machine this way, writing my data onto another USB drive that I mount and use as a data file, and take with me. No cloud. I also like that this machine cannot go onto internet unless I use my cellular phone to tether a  USB port. Protects privacy of my data from being sent since I only connect when i need to (like now) with my data USB drive being unmounted to prevent any data breaches.

Thanks for linuxlite. Once I make some money I will donate to LINUXLITE.  I have a MSEE and I am a retired chip designer, as well as having a PhD in Biology.  I am now working on juvenescence (longevity, I hate the word geriatric) technology.  One last comment,  I have more hardware experience than software. However used UNIX extensively while designing ICs. I do have programming experience and also I have taught programming at the University level when in graduate school for my PhD after retiring, it was a low level language (Assembly, no C or C++ experience yet).

Below this I pasted the error log as suggested. Probably my earlier ramblings were not appropriate for this FORUM. I apologize and please correct me, but be nice, this is the first time I have asked anybody or a forum for assistance. Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Ride
