Software - Support > Installing Linux Lite

Fresh install of Linux Lite shows stock XFCE desktop

Artim:
Also, downloading updates during installation is often problematic. Wait 'til it's installed and booted from the hard drive.

I agree with others..
1) Where did you download from?
   a) Check MD5 perhaps not a complete download
2) What do your partitions look like
3) How did you install - the process, options/prompts
   a) Where there other OS's installed - did you reuse /home or other config settings...
4) System specs, what hardware are you running.

Why do you NOT want to reinstall?
LL installs in no time and is simple in the process - did you have problems installing - is there configs you want to keep???

Answering the above will help with troubleshooting/validating along with any other info you can provide...

For myself, I would download from LL and confirm the hash..
Then reinstall - If you are trying to reuse partitions, I would suggest otherwise. Copy those off or rename to something like DATA where its not "/home" or other directly in use Linux directories.
You may be using configurations for a different desktop/OS or just something LL doesn't recognize.

Good Luck

TheDead:
I agree with Artim and would add that I have had this problem in the past when an installation/computer bugged (not just Linux Lite) and did not complete successfully or the XFCE crashed or when I tried installing other desktop environnements on test machines.

You could also not "check" the box to download updates/third party apps during install.
ADD: Also leave the default language during install, just in case.

Artim:
Where did you get your copy of Linux Lite? If it's from Softpedia or one of those 2nd-hand vendors you may have a copy of something else. The only answer I know if to follow the links here on this site (there's one in Jerry signature) to download your copy of the iso. There are pretenders and counterfeits out there. There's no need to run to another distro because one bogus download disappointed you. As a 16-year Linux user you probably know that... check the iso, and install it from a Live session.

Jerry:
Images are embedded so that people can see them straight away, zip files, txt files are attached. What is your partition set up? eg. Where is your home folder and all other partitions mounted. Title changed to more accurately reflect issue.
