Upon my first bootup of v4.8, I got the popup requesting login. I typed in "linux"(but no quotes), and got error message saying wrong password. I read to do that somewhere on the LL site. I then tried some of the usual pw's-user, admin, root; nothing worked. Please advise. Thank you.
Update: Somehow after posting this, I got onto Jerry's post about this topic, so here's some further info:
- What software did you use to write the image?
MultiBootUSB- this was before I saw the "doesn't work with MultiBoot USB disclaimers. It has the PLOP bootloader built-in. However, booting still gave same error.

Very, very early testing of 5.0 on real hardware. Boot up is fast, shutdown is almost instant. Windows pop open very quickly, look at Libre Word open!
Fairly old HP lappy with 8gb ram, Core i7, very old first gen Vertex 60gb SSD. Can't wait to test this on modern hardware!

Cuando uso los drivers de open source el ordenador funciona bien pero no al maximo rendimiento, no puedo jugar bien a juegos como csgo.
Tengo un i-3 , 8ram y Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 (En windows si podia jugar a todos los juegos).
Por favor alguna solución?

Pd: Ya he probado a cambiar a drivers privativos y sigue sin funcionar.

Where I can download the default wallpaper but without that ugly text "Welkom"...."Vitaj" ecc. ????

Thanks in advance

I recently committed to make myself an ultra portable "computer" - so I installed LL 4.8 onto this USB thumb drive.
I choose to encrypt the whole drive when running the installer, and I also disabled the internal drive on the laptop (ensure that the boot loader got to the thumb drive).

And that worked just nice. LL works and I can do everything I would do on any computers.

However, there is one problem - The performance. I was fully  aware that this may becoming an issue, so I was expecting some performance drop compared to a HDD.
But - the performance hit running on this USB device was much greater than I had anticipated, e.g. I need to wait about 2-3 minutes for the computer to turn off. And about ever single task seems bounded with a delay time for several seconds.

Therefore i ask if there is configurations I can change to make LL run "faster" when installed on a USB thumb drive ?

I've been a Linux user since 2007.  First with Ubuntu and for the last 3+ years Linux Mint.  This week I was gifted 2 old desktop systems. One started out as a WinXP box and it was beyond rescue. Max'd out at 1GB memory, 160GB HD and an intermittent fault somewhere. 

The second was a Win7 emachine. AMD64 dual core, 4GB memory, about 9 usb ports, memory card reader and DVD drive in a nice, compact desktop form.  Linux Mint XFCE was tried and I was getting intermittent video issues.  System would lock up and I'd end up with a screen slewed diagonally.  Install Linux Lite and it is just works.  Great little box for its intended use in the basement workshop.  I upgraded the HD to 1TB to handle my music collection.

Hi,
I have quite a few computers I received recently but need to securely wipe the hard drives before installing linux on them.It's been two days trying to download the DBAN ISO and put on USB keys (3 different models).
Etcher and unetbootin say the downloaded (re-downloaded, etc.) ISO is not bootable and another program says nothing when creating the USB key but wont boot either.

All USB keys say that indeed, the computer has No Operating system found when (remove the harddrive to test since otherwise, it boots the old OS).
PS : Computers are not UEFI and are quite "Legacy" since the CPU is not even 64bits (old Core Duo)

Any hints to get DBan working/booting?

Hi, I've just installed Linux Lite on an internal SSD (Swapped out the DVD drive). Win7 is on the original HDD of Compaq Presario CQ57 laptop.

Mouse Acceleration/Sensitivity adjustments in Settings -Mouse/Touchpad have no effect on the either external wireless mouse or the laptop's own touchpad. All other settings ie. Reverse Scroll direction, left handed, right handed etc do work OK and are saved OK and remain on reboot. Accel/Sens changes have absolutely no effect on hardware. The slider settings of both are saved on exit too.

Is there a solution at all ?

Many thanks.

I recently switched to Linux Lite because of Windows 7 expiring. This week after I installed clamav, scans wouldn't work.
First I ran from terminal:
sudo apt-get install clamav clamav-daemon
(clamtk was on the end of that line I copied, but it was said not to work well with Linux Lite)

I had used clamav before on a machine with Ubuntu 12.04, where i'd enter "clamscan -r /" Trying it on this PC, I'd get:
LibClamAV Error: cli_loaddbdir(): No supported database files found in /var/lib/clamav
ERROR: Can't open file or directory
    With 0 files scanned

I uninstalled everything I saw and reinstalled clamav, but not clamav-daemon. Then I ran freshclam manually, ending up with this:
Sat Feb 15 13:18:20 2020 -> daily database available for download (remote version: 25724)

Please suggest what else I should show in order to get an answer to my problem.

Hi all,

I have a new 4.8 install and probably 2 out of 10 experience with linux distrobutions in general. Everything seems to be working properly but I do have one question. There is a user (maybe a generic root user?) "linuxlite" that is the default when I restart. I can't find reference to it anywhere else (e.g., under users). There is a "root" user and the other one that I created. I'd like to change the default user if possible. Thanks!
