It sounds like a reason for this issue may have been found though not necessarily the underlying cause so I'm adding my experience just in case people are still looking.

- Have you performed an md5sum check? http://www.winmd5.com/
+ Yes, it matched.  (Note that I'm using 64 bit and have NOT yet tested 32 bit)

- What software did you use to write the image?
+ YUMI 2.0.2.3 (yes, this was before I saw the "doesn't work with YUMI disclaimers, so feel free to ignore if you want).  Note that I did try with both "Unknown SysLinux" as well as the now-supported "Linux Lite" option, both with the same result.  Similarly, I wrote LL 2.8 via both methods and it worked correctly both times.

- Is this on a Desktop computer?
+No

- Is it on a Laptop/Ultrabook/Netbook with the power plugged into mains, or running on battery?
+ Yes, it's a laptop plugged into mains

- Are you using a DVD or USB?
+ USB (flash drive)

- Is the login screen asking for a password during boot up, or has the computer booted to the desktop in live mode, and then locked?
+ During boot up.  Note that it does NOT look at all similar to the LL 2.8 login, though I don't know if that's due to a change in 3.0 or whatever the issue is.  Note, too, that once logged in, locking the screen returns back to the unfamiliar (to me) login screen.

- Are you starting the install immediately after live boot, or are you letting the pc go into screen-lock mode, and then trying an install?
+ Immediate

- If you are being asked for login credentials, which of these user/password combinations worked when you tried to login linux and or ubuntu ?
+ Neither.  I had to use user "it" with no password.  I thought to try this because the upper left of the login screen showed the letters "it" (and for the record, the upper center showed date/time, and the upper right had a power icon).  On login I initially see the (xfce?) mouse background which then gets replaced by the LL feather.  Again, I don't know if that's normal for 3.0, related to this specific issue, or simply related to slower desktop load times due to my older hardware and booting from a flash drive.

- Where did you download the ISO from (please provide a link)
+ Direct from LL site via "Torrent 64bit" button @ https://www.linuxliteos.com/download.html

I'm no expert, but since I went straight from boot to goofy login my GUESS is that the proposed power management fix is only relevant if the issue is being caused by slow load times making the system think it's timed out before it's even done loading.

Note that during my boot I did notice a block of warnings about "Error retrieving chunk extents: Operation not supported" - again, I have no idea whether or not that's normal or even if it's related to this issue.

Thanks for all your time building & supporting this great release!

To be clear, when the screen was locked, you hand typed in the user 'linux' (no password) and hit enter and it logged you back into the Desktop?
Correct..

To be clear, when the screen was locked, you hand typed in the user 'linux' (no password) and hit enter and it logged you back into the Desktop?

I've had LL 32 and 64bit running from Live on the desktop for over 30mins now, no lock screen  ???

This could be affecting Laptop/Ultrabook/Netbook's only that are not plugged into mains (running on battery only)

I can confirm this on my laptop.
I did the following:

- Unplugged from mains power (running on battery)
- Let computer go to lock screen (5 mins, screen goes black)
- Hand type in 'linux' into the User box, then click on the Login button (no password)
- Screen returns to the Desktop.

To fix this in 3.2, in Power manager on the Display tab, I will uncheck Handle display power management.
On the Security tab, set Automatically lock the session to Never.





This should prevent the same issue from occuring in 3.2

Ah perhaps LL boots just fine, it's just when it goes idle in Live mode that people are saying it locks.
I have disabled the sleep feature for 3.2
Nice one firenice03 :)

@firenice03 what do you mean by 'Boot Live USB and let it sit till it went to sleep upon wake I was prompted' ?

Sorry.. I booted into the LiveUSB, all was normal. I let the netbook/laptop sit idle. After about 5 minutes or so the system went to sleep, screen went black. Upon waking the system, moving touchbad/key input - the screen was locked.

To unlock I entered user name "linux" with no password (after 1st attempt stated incorrect did a 2nd time and was returned to the desktop..

I believe there was another post where the user was on a laptop..
I can see where laptops maybe going to sleep especially during install and resulting in a prompt..

UPDATE: Most reported issues with Rufus. Yumi and Multiboot don't work (from what has been reported by some users). I have tested both 32bit and 64 bit in both DD and ISO mode with the latest Rufus and I have no problems booting Linux Lite 3.0 Please use the latest version of Rufus https://rufus.akeo.ie/ for testing.

I'll open the thread now for replies from people who are being asked for login credentials in Linux Lite 3.0

If you are having issues, please check the following:

- Have you performed an md5sum check? http://www.winmd5.com/
- What software did you use to write the image?
- Is this on a Desktop computer?
- Is it on a Laptop/Ultrabook/Netbook with the power plugged into mains, or running on battery?
- Are you using a DVD or USB?
- Is the login screen asking for a password during boot up, or has the computer booted to the desktop in live mode, and then locked?
- Are you starting the install immediately after live boot, or are you letting the pc go into screen-lock mode, and then trying an install?
- If you are being asked for login credentials, which of these user/password combinations worked when you tried to login linux and or ubuntu ?
- Where did you download the ISO from (please provide a link)

Please answer ALL of these questions in your replies.

Testing is encouraged from existing community members.

Thank you:)

I have had a number of emails to me explaining that some folks are being asked for login credentials when booting the live image of Linux Lite 3.0

I am going to spend the day exploring this issue and will edit and update this post with my findings.

In the meantime, I have updated the Linux Lite 3.0 Release Announcement with the appropriate image writing software recommendations. These will also appear on the main Linux Lite 3.0 website. The Help Manual already has these suggestions listed.
