I was trying to install Linux Lite on a new (to me) HP 17 laptop. It was able to connect via wifi with Windows 10 when I purchased it. This is a new installation, on a new SSD. Dual boot is not an option. I was able to connect via Ethernet, and install all of the updates. I was eventually able to find Software & Updates and install the proprietary drivers for RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter. During the installation process, I was asked for a password for something having to do with the UEFI. Unfortunately, I didn't take any notes or screenshots, so I don't remember exactly what was involved. I typed in the password in the clear (very unusual), and it wouldn't accept my regular user password, because it was too long (between 8 and 16 characters was the limit I was given). On reboot, I was given a window with 4 options. I chose "Boot", and the system than booted normally. Unfortunately, again, I didn't take any notes, so I don't remember what the other three options were (yes, I know, I should document everything). I still do not have the ability to see wireless networks. I have tried rebooting again, but I did not get the UEFI window. There is no 'switch' for the wifi that I can see. The F12 key has the icon of an airplane on it (airplane mode?), however it does not seem to have any affect.
Then I had a brainstorm. Through Software & Updates, I was able to remove the driver, and re-install. I was asked for a password again, and I rebooted. I chose the second boot option (enroll MOK), after viewing a screen or two, I was given the option of entering a password. This time, after booting, I have access to my wireless networks.
I am back on my linux lite laptop, and want to run it 24/7, the issue i have is on windows i used to lock screen with (power button + L) which i was able to lock, as it was already in shortcuts. But another thing i was having on windows was pressing the power button only to turn off screen as it is always on, after pressing super + L screen goes black but i can still see screen backlight. i tried to make shortcut for making screen blank i was unable to use it with power button, and other keys were able to turn of screen when i was logged in not on lock screen. How can i do it?
I installed the software succesfully however i coudn't choose Keyboard belgium/belgium and have to choose French azerty which did not comply fully with my keyboard. So I changed the keyboard settings in etc/default/keyboard into Belgium. 'be' After this rebooting and i could login with my password great done i thought :| The next day I have not a login screen so it opens fully 
but installing software using sudo in terminal (ALT+CTRL+F2) it never worked again i can not using the password. Even if i use the french settings in the keyboard manager nothing worked to set and upĝrade the software using sudo or gsudo in normal screen. The password is oké even in the French keyboard was this still the same. But now lol it isnt working anymore and i am sure the password is great and oké. So something during install the Belgium option is not there :|
This is my first time here on the forum and also a new Linux Lite user. I am having the same problem updating software. /var/log/lite-software.log comes up & I'm unable to update and it reads to copy and paste to Linux Lite forum.

Buenas! Acabo de instalar Linux Lite y me he topado con un par de problemas:
-No puedo encontrar las aplicaciones que instalo con el terminal de comandos, a pesar que, según parece, la descarga finaliza satisfactoriamente.
-Al reiniciar el equipo, desaparecen todos los accesos directos del escritorio excepto la papelera.
-Hay dos carpetas diferentes donde creo que solo debería de haber una: una se llama "desktop" y la otra "escritorio".
I need assistance with connecting my laptop to the internet via Wifi.
I recently installed Linux Lite on my computor from it's Ubuntu operating system. The wifi would connect properly without problem on it's previous operating, however, I cannot connect to the internet via wifi unless it's through the Ethernet cable.
I ran this command "nmcli d" in the terminal which showed that through the Ethernet, I can access the internet, whilst the wifi status remains unavailable.
I also ran this command "lshw -c network" so that I can figure out the hardware adapter, so that I can update the driver. But, it does not show the hardware name for the wifi adapter.
Any assistance will help me out a lot.
Did anyone else notice during the Winter Olympics opening ceremony there was a brief display of the old Windows 7 multi lingual greeting wallpaper on the giant screen there. Don't know if it was a glitch, or if some kind of weird propaganda ploy, or the show programmers were not very creative, or perhaps Chinese MS software and IT is that much out of date. I know they have their own state approved version of MS Windows so it seems weird that they would choose that wallpaper to be part of the show. Maybe BG conned them into a Buick and they think it's a Ferrari.

Getting some love :54:
Hello new LL 5.6 user here. Trying to switch from Lubuntu to Linux lite for our image we use for company PCs. It is really working very well on our older hardware, but I am running into issues when creating a master image to put on the other hardware and I am not sure where to post my questions. Here are the issues I am running into and if you tell me where to post for help that would be much appreciated.
I set the desktop background to a custom jpg and then create a new image file. Install this image onto another piece of hardware, but the desktop background reverts back to the original Linux-Lite-Wave-and-Rounds-Gradient-Blues-1080p.png. Funny thing is at the login screen it has the correct background, but as soon as I log in with our user it changes the background image.
Another issue I seem to be having is that the screensaver/enable lock screen doesn't seem to be working. It works on the original hardware, but when I put this image on another computer it doesn't seem to lock when it should I did just find another post about a similar issue and will try changing the display blank after minutes to larger than the screensaver timeout.
Thanks,
TBO
