new to LL.

Hello people,

My father bought a Lenovo IdeaPad L340-15API few months ago and i installed Linux Lite 4.8 BIOS. At some point he wanted to use the HDMI output (which i did not try after installation) and he couldn't. He asked me to switch to Windows 10 because he needed the HDMI port for his work. Unable to find a solution i decided to try version 5.0 with UEFI hopping it would fix the HDMI issue. Although i got an error during installation(pic), it worked. The HDMI was working perfectly out of the box. The only problem that persists on this laptop is the Wi-Fi. On every installation i need to patch an older kernel for it to work. I don't know if this has anything to do with UEFI or anything else, i just hope it gets fixed on the future. I will stick to Windows 10(on this laptop only, all other computers run Linux Lite 4.8) for now until version 5.0 is released as stable.

Thanks to the whole linux community for helping with the Wi-Fi issues and thanks to the Linux Lite developers for fixing alot alot of issues on every update!

Linux Lite 5.0 RC1

I tried the following command and the updates moved from 14 to 37 but not moving forward from there on.

"sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*"

Hello all,
I switched from Linux Mint to Linux Lite OS due to the fact Mint administrators did not respect their users on their own message board. I am loving Linux Lite OS RC1. I installed it and have not encountered a single error to date. I am very impressed by the updating process and the flexibility of the OS. All in all, I give the name of Linux Lite OS to anyone looking to switch linux distros. 

Macbook Aluminium (Unibody) Late 2008 user here. Always wanted to try Linux Lite, love it. But always had troubles installing because of the whole UEFI thing. Tried 5.0 and BOOM. Smooth as butter installation not 1 single issue! <3. and boy my laptop feels fast as hell right now. . Got it looking exactly how I wanted with ease.



Peace.

Hi,
I've been on here before requesting a UEFI boot for the new upcoming LTS 5.0 linux lite. You say the trial Linux lite 5.0 RC1 has a UEFI boot. I just downloaded it on a usb to try it out on my Acer Chromebook 15 CB5-571 that I had changed its bios firmware to clean install linux to. I have downloaded Linux Lite UEFI 4.2 and updated to 4.8 on my Chromebook. It is working well. I can't get this new trial Linux Lite 5.0 RC1 to boot. It just goes to "grub" screen saying something about tabbing to find commands. I can put the usb in another computer and see the files of the download. Is there something I'm supposed to do to make the UEFI boot work? Kind of a dummy here. Karen

I have a fresh install of LL4.8 with all updates and am trying to access my samba shares on my asustor NAS.

When I type in smb://192.168.1.xx for the samba share in thunar I get the message "Failed to Open File System"

When Attempting to update apt, I get the following error.
