Hello, I use Linux Lite in a VM with 2gb RAM. Today I was booting up the VM, but when I log in to my user with the correct password, instead of showing me my desktop, it shows my wallpaper, then a black screen, then a red screen, then another black screen, and then back to the log in page. Can anyone help me? Thanks.
ADDITIONAL INFO: Yes, I tried remounting the drive, it doesn't let me do it even in root, I tried fsck, doesn't work.
UPDATE: I just tried logging into root, but it just freezes with an image of the wallpaper, and there are no buttons.

Now, they are out of control with the M1 chip.

What is the M1 CPU?

CPU + GPU + memory that can’t be expanded beyond either 8GB or 16GB.

Want to upgrade your memory beyond 16Gb? FU!

What's next? Onboard SSD nand storage?

P.S. you also get a whopping 2 USB4 ports...lol

I would like to translate Linux Lite from English to Danish. I found this page
https://www.transifex.com/linux-lite-lit...inux-lite/

But the only language there is "Project language German"

I just put Linux Lite 5.2 on a vintage Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop (with gorgeous big 1680x1050 screen).  The install went very smoothly and error free. Everything works great except the wifi seems to stall out sometimes.  For example, when downloading updates it just freezes up after a while.

I ran the "Install Drivers" module and in the Additional Drivers tab, it says Broadcom and subsidiaries . . . "device is not working" and gives a choice to "use Broadcom 802.11 . . .", or "do not use the device" (which is already selected). It's unclear to me what this means and the best choice to make.  Screenshot image below,

I think someone posted on this subject once before but I'm looking into it myself now. My systemd log has hit 1.2gig and that would be excessive for users on smaller systems and undoubtedly eventually cause an issue. I suspect that logs are being updated unnecessarily for several applications that are rarely if ever used, but the problem there is that I would have to find some way customize logging according to user preferences. If 1.2gig is the rollover limit for the logs I think it will prove to be to high as some users' systems grow. I once let debsecan run on one of my Debian systems for three years without deleting anything and it didn't even approach that figure even though it reports CVEs back to 2014. Why is this log so big, or configured to be so big? It does not do this in Debian.

After joking a little the other day about MS Linux I thought I'd post a few screenshots of my actual LL 5 system. LL 5 is fast becoming my favorite Linux Lite ever. Click the link below to see some recent screenshots.

Hello, i have a Lenovo Yoga 500 Laptop with a Broadcom Wireless Network Adapter BCM43162 and i have a hard time getting it to work on Linux Lite 5.2. It does not reqognize the adapter, only ethernet cable works. Ive tried to install the b43 driver from the synaptic package manager but this did not work.
Can anyone help me?

Hello,

I've got an Acer Cloodbook 14 (A01-431-C8G8) that I've used to run several Linux distros over the years - Peppermint, Solus, Xubuntu, Lubuntu - and haven't run into this issue before, but I've never made this mistake before either.

Before burning the latest LL 5.2 distro to my flash drive using Startup Disk Creator, I was going to put Peppermint on it again via Unetbootin. The issue, however, is that I made the mistake of writing the ISO to mmcblk0p1 - the boot sector. Perhaps that's what's affecting the bigger problem. After the fact, there were some other steps, but ultimately I ended up with LL 5.2 on my flash drive, written using Startup Disk Creator, as mentioned before.

Trying to install LL 5.2 has had its own issues. I have tried several paths and will try to detail them as well as possible below.

1 - UEFI Enabled, SecureBoot Disabled

a) Normal install process triggers an ACPI BIOS Error and dumps to initramfs. This also happens when trying LL. The installation software never boots under this option.

Note: When dumped to BusyBox/initramfs, running the command "cat /proc/partitions" show the eMMC drive as mmcblk0, ~0p1, ~0p2, so the drive is operational. It also shows in the BIOS.

b) Edited GRUB install command with e to add various combinations of: noapic, nolapic, acpi=off. Using any one of these is enough to bypass the ACPI issue in a). The install software runs a MD5SUM check and then proceeds. Upon arriving at the step to install the boot sector, the only option given is /dev/sda, which is the flash drive. Any option other than exit crashes the installation, though crash or exit both eventually allow the "try" version of LL to boot, which can't occur normally.

Note: While in Try LL, none of Disks, GParted, or various Terminal commands show any signs of the existence of mmblkX. With the exception of nolapic, which disables the touchpad, everything seems to work.

c) Compatibility mode gets further than a) but hangs on an audio codec issue. Compatibility mode with arguments hangs at an ISO issue.

I've also tried UEFI Enabled+SecureBoot Enabled, Legacy Mode instead of UEFI, various Legacy Mode options, with and without arguments, all of which fall completely. Only b) above results in the installation software actually running.

Any idea why the system recognizes the eMMC storage drive, but LL does not? Is there a way to force a resume in a)?

A couple of things of note - I cannot boot into Lubuntu anymore due to the Peppermint snafu, I do not have another computer to test and play with, and I don't (at the moment) have another flash drive to write a known-working OS to (can you write a live USB from a live USB state?).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
