I am all for Linux Lite to come in and replace Windows 7, 10.  I realize Canon is doing nothing to provide Linux drivers.  If someone in the Linux Lite community could develop a printer driver(s) for Canon printers, then I (we) could go completely Linux Lite and dump Windows.  But I have to keep a Windows box around just to be able to print to the Canon.  I am not a developer (just a lowly Sys Admin), so I am unable to fix it myself.  It would be cool if Linux Lite could print to Canon printers right out of the box (.iso?)  8)

Is there a problem with the linux lite sources ?
Thanks for reaction.

Been trying to peek in - past couple months been hectic to say the least...




Hi and welcome to all the new folks!!

I am using Ventoy to install it.
I can't use other writers because of I only have one USB and don't have rescue one.

I didn't install Linux Lite before.
I have disabled secure boot, enabled UEFI.
Grub is not installing. Screenshot is available at https://i.imgur.com/uqc4PhO.jpg

Thanks

I want to replace W10 on my old Dell laptop with Linux Lite which has 32G SDD HDD

- I have created bootable USB drive with version 5.0 64 bit.
- From booted USB Linux Lite OS I ran Install with 'replace' option so W10 has been completely replaced with Linux Lite. Install completed successfully.

However the new system will not boot from HDD.  Boots fine from USB stick.  I've tried various things from BIOS, no change

Is there some sort of logical procedure I can follow to resolve this, some log I can refer to ?

Added Spellcheck to LibreOffice (US only). You will need to complete 'Install Language Support' in Lite Welcome to activate this feature:



Removed deprecated GTK2 software, themes - less bloat:



Removed Adobe Flash:



Please don't ask how to install Flash. That would be like asking for the recipe for a deadly poison, then drinking it to see if it worked. Flash is gone. Long live HTML5   Installing Restricted Extras from Lite Software will no longer install Flash.

SimpleScreenRecorder, Zoom and Microsoft Teams added to Lite Software. Community suggestions:

How do I know if my Windows PC has UEFI?

In Windows Search, type msinfo or msinfo32 and launch the desktop app named System Information. Look for the BIOS Mode item, and if the value for it is UEFI, then you have the UEFI firmware. If it says BIOS Mode Legacy, then that’s the firmware you’re running.

Secure Boot is supported, but unless you know exactly how to handle it, it is a P.I.T.A. at best so I am going to say...you must disable Secure Boot to enable stress free computing.

Some helpful snippets from the latest Help Manual:





UEFI Support link - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/uefi-secure-boot/

Details:

Kernel: 5.4.0-52 ( custom kernels also available via our Repository for versions 3.13 - 5.9 )
Firefox: 82.0
Thunderbird: 68.10.0
LibreOffice: 6.4.6.2
VLC: 3.0.9.2
Gimp: 2.10.18
Base: 20.04.1

Known Issues:

No prompt to eject Media at the end of the Legacy install, prompt is available at the end of the UEFI install.
Release Notes - not working on first installer slide.
Desktop icons - English support only.
Grub - holding shift down whilst booting in UEFI mode does not bring up the Grub menu (works in Legacy mode), waiting for Ubuntu fix.
Grub menu shows Linux Lite as 'Ubuntu'. After you install Linux Lite, you can change Grub to show 'Linux Lite':

- Open /etc/default/grub as Administrator.
- Comment out: GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` and leave GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Linux Lite' uncommented.
- Should look like:
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Linux Lite'
#GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
- sudo update-grub

You tell me.

Upgrading

There has been some tweaks to the Lite Upgrade code from Series 4.x. Most notably, the end dialogue has been simplified and will ask you to either Reboot or Shutdown. Continue Working is no longer viewed as a sensible option. Also, Lite Welcome will no longer be displayed after a Reboot. Just look at Lite Widget to see if you upgraded successfully to 5.2 or do:

I have the emoji keyboard installed and it works in the whisker menu and keyboard settings. But when I press right click on any input outside the preinstalled interface there is no option for insert emoji. Also outside the interface it doesn't respond to win + .

Has anybody gotten Cherry Tree to work with LL5? I just grabbed the LL5 iso and burned a flash drive and booted fine off it, but I was unable to get Cherry Tree working. It's a must have for me to upgrade from LL 4, as I just have too many files done with it to port them all over to another note taking app. There is a newer Ubuntu compatible version (just a few days ago IIRC) but I found it hard to access things from the LL5 flash drive without any bookmarks, etc.

I think you have to use snap to do this, but the procedure didn't get me to anything that actually runs, although cherrytree showed up in the CLI when I asked it about snap packages installed. However, there was no way to run the program. But I'm pretty clueless when it comes to snap.

I can't use install updates from the app you get when you type updates, when I try to run it I get this error
