In both options:
"Loading the Linux Lite 7.6 Live system"
"Direct installation of Linux Lite 7.6"
After installing LL7.6, if I launch Google Chrome from the desktop or using the command in the terminal: "google-chrome", Chrome opens for 2 seconds, after which the current session ends with the loss of all open applications.
The command: "google-chrome" results in the following with details:
