I have an old HP2000 laptop.  I wanted to install LL but having trouble getting it to boot to the thumb drive.  I know the thumb drive is good as I have used it to install on other computer.

I was able to install Linux Mint but I'd really prefer LITE - unless someone has a suggestion for a linux version that would be good on an old slow laptop.  I ONLY use it for occasional travel and it would be used for internet access only.  It can be bare bones.  I just prefer a quick boot up etc.

Maybe Puppy Linux?

Here is what I get when I try to boot to the USB drive

As a former fan of Linux Lite, I was sad to see how many ads are on your web page. So many huge, blinking  'Download' 'Free Account! 'Click here!  banners across the page, it took me a couple minutes to even find the actual  Download link to your isos. 

I understand you need to bring in revenue, but this is too much. It's  a complete turn off--and, ironically, they distract from find out more about Linux Lite. I will not be returning. I wonder how many others have been put off by all these ads.

Hi, I'm trying to install Linux Lite on an old ASUS laptop from a usb drive.
The live install went fine, I chose the ''Erase Disk'' option.
When the install was done, I rebooted. I was  prompted to remove the usb drive and I did so.

Then, I got a black screen with the message : "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key" and no other options

I checked the BIOS, Secure Boot is disabled and my only boot options are called  " HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GU71N" which must be the DVD reader of the laptop, and "Realtek PXE B04 D00". Booting with either of those fails and displays the same message.
When I tried to re-install, the "Partition" section of the install showed an existing Linux partition, so i should have a correct device to boot from.

I tried to re-install several times with manual partitioning but still got the same message.

Any idea of what I should do ?

Thanks in advance

Hello, I am trying to access a NAS (Buffalo Link Station Mini) on my local network, as for now I cannot... I am wondering if someone can give me some help..

My setup is very simple. All my computers are connected to my router, and my NAS is connected to the same router. (IP range is from 192.168.0.xxx)I am trying to access a NAS (HDD) on my local network, as for now I cannot... I am wondering if someone can give me...

My problem is; with my computer running Linux Lite, I cannot see my NAS (or any shared folder in my other computers), which are running WIndows.

With WIndows computers, it is very easy, I see my NAS and my other computers in my Network, and I can access them without any problem.

With my computer with Linux Lite, which I am testing, I have not found a way to see my NAS (and other computers) and access it.

I have read - https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/netwo...l#lintowin (Accesing WIndows shares with Linux Lite)
When I type smb://192.168.0.15 (which is the IP address of my NAS, I get "Failed to open "FIle System" Failed to retreave share list from server. Software caused connection abort."
So, I can't go further..

By the way, in my setup, all the PC's in my network can access my NAS and the shared folders in my computers without a password.

I presume something is missing in my Linux Lite setup or I am doing something wrong, but I don't know what I am doing wrong...

Although, I installed Linux Lite a few years ago,  I have not been using it since then. So, I don't know much about Linux in general. I am trying to learn... So, if someone can give me some guidance, I would really appreciate.
Thank you.

I try to install LL8.0 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T14s Gen 2.

Secure BIOS is disabled.
LL8.0 image created by Etcher.
I try a clean install: "erase" - swap (no hibernate), encrypted, only LL8.0 (no dual boot).
System creates 3 partitions:
- EFI system - FAT32
- rootfs - LUKS
- swap - LUKS


During install, I end up with this error message:
The bootloader could not be installed. The installation command <pre>grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=Linux_Lite --force</pre> returned error code 1.


I tried on 2 different SSD drives in the same laptop with same results (first drive had Win11 on it, the second drive was completely empty).
I tried again on a Lenovo M715Q-MT with Ryzen 5 2400GE with same error message. Later smooth install of LL7.8 on this machine.

I tried Valtam's suggestion to update Calamares:
"New Calamares build uploaded.

Boot the Live ISO. Then:

Code:

Code:

Start the installer, let me know how you get on. "

At first, the terminal wouldn't take it (no sources available). I had to manually update Lite Sources.
It then accepted to update Calamares. I then tried a new install, and this time got a simple error message "Installation failed", no further code or information.


On the T14s only, I tried Serban S solution to first install LL 7.8 (which went fine), then from there upgrade to LL 8.0.
What I ended up with was weird, everything looked like LL8.0 (new desktop, theme, software ...), but the new "About Lite" would still say it's running LL7.8, and I still have Chrome as default browser ... like if I was stuck somewhere in between both versions.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.




Edit:
I tried a 5th (or6th?) time to install from Live USB, and it worked. I noticed later that it's because I forgot to tick "encrypt" during install.
So it may be something related with encryption.
Upon realizing my mistake, I tried to reinstall again from Live USB (remembering to tick "encrypt" this time), and got a new error message:
"The installer failed to create partition on disk ...

My external hard drive is not mounting due to an error, "Failed to mount "Xbox Seagate Hard Drive". Error mounting /dev/sdb at /run/media/dj/Xbox Seagate Hard Drive: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb, missing codepage or helper program, or other error."

I tried on the latest antiX live boot too and it didnt mount there either.
it was able to mount the last time i used it on Linux Mint XFCE (yesterday)
it isnt showing up in File manager on Windows 11

i would appreciate if someone could help

Should be back up with a couple of hours from the time of this post.
