[ HELPFUL TIP ] Linux Lite 3.0 asks for login password

[BlueFox]

Yesterday installed LL3.0 and had the same problem about being asked for a password.

Fix: booted in safe mode, was not asked for your password, installed without issue.

However now  have another problem with updates.

Hope this helps someone.

I also had the same issue......

But I could log in after several attempts,and using different user names and passwords.....

I used the user name "ubuntu" and kept the password field 'blank',pressed enter two times......And it worked. I got this 'ubuntu' user name from the upper left corner of the login screen!

I booted the OS from usb,and I used 'YUMI' create the bootable usb..

Please read the release announcement thoroughly and you won't have these issues. Thank you.

We do not support: Rufus, Yumi and Multiboot.

If you look in the upper left it should display - typically this is the pc name.. But I believe its linux..
So user name is linux and pw is blank

If not try username admin and blank

Hi, Jerry

- Have you performed an md5sum check? http://www.winmd5.com/
-- 17d7fe242d51b2cce950d896137d2c35 (Matched)

- What software did you use to write the image?
-- Yumi, as RuFus failed to write any ISO (possible antivirus blockage)

- Is this on a Desktop computer?
-- IBM X60s Laptop

- Is it on a Laptop/Ultrabook/Netbook with the power plugged into mains, or running on battery?
-- Power

- Are you using a DVD or USB?
-- USB (YuMi)

- 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?
-- Booted to lock 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?
--Immediately

- If you are being asked for login credentials, which of these user/password combinations worked when you tried to login linux and or ubuntu ?
-- ubuntu/blank password

- Where did you download the ISO from (please provide a link)
-- https://www.linuxliteos.com/download.php --> https://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxlite/files/3.6/linux-lite-3.6-32bit.iso/download

[Jerry]

Try Etcher when writing the ISO to USB. Yumi is not supported (as mentioned on the Download page).

Thanks, haven't heard about it.
Installation worked well, so will keep it in mind for the next time.
