UEFI Build Test

@flexman excellent

Just one question: What about signing for Secure Boot?
During the initial install, I chose not to download updates / firmware at the same time. By choosing this option, i.e. install general updates & firmware updates after installation, I noticed that the Secure Boot signing option was greyed out.  Unsure here, about this signing procedure and how to do it. I've understood that if it's not done at least some software may not work - is that correct?

Downloading updates while installing has always been troublesome for me, so I just don't do it.  I don't have a UEFI machine so it's not a problem, but for those who have to have it, it might be the only option.  Perhaps one of the devs has a better answer!

Just a note to say thank you for the UEFI build. I had a heck of a time with a refurbished hp desktop until I found your Linux Lite version. Installation went perfect on the existing HDD. Goodbye Windows10!

Hi,

First of all thanks for this great distro and community. After year of xubuntu using -of course after trying lots of distros- this great linux lite has been my first choice. Because i need to use triple boot hackintosh thinkpad (i use mojave, win 10 and linux lite on same ssd with clover bootloader), i need to use my linux in uefi. So, i ve tried this test build. It is nearly amazing. Only problem i have experienced with this had been that after some time, xfce desktop manager stops to work. I cannot click on desktop stuff with right or left click. I dont know what is causing this. Another thing i ve experienced if you wanna download xfce-goodies as asll xfce lovers, it is better to download packages individually. Not whole xfce4-goodies, because whisker menu on this distro is conflicting with the one inside of xfce goodies. Thanks for your great work again. I will be ordering some badges for support and i hope you will continue to develop uefi isos. Uefi may be not wise choice under some circumstances, but 2019 it can be only choice if you have to work with triple boot etc. Have a great weekend.

You're welcome @Bo?aç Tekman What Thinkpad year/model are you running? Also tail dmesg to see if there's any clues as to why your desktop sometimes freezes.

Dear Mr. Jerry & Team,
I bought Acer Spin 1 especially to install LL on it. Then I found out, that this acer works only with UEFI. Thanks to The God, you made UEFI build, because after few days on this little thing with W10 I was devastated.
Secure Boot and UEFI was enabled. Single boot. I think I didn't update during installation.No errors. All process without errors.
In a few weeks of using, I didn't noticed any problems. I upgraded from 4.4 to 4.6 smooth. Works just like regular version of LL. When I switch it to tablet mode, touchscreen response pretty good. So I'm happy. So I go donate now, to support you guys. Thanks.
