Posted by: Rob_Rob - 09-09-2021, 06:32 AM - Forum: Network - Replies (1)

Hi!
I install Linux Lite 5.6, and I would like to know if there is driver for my networks card :

Killer E3100G 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Killer® Wi-Fi 6E AX1675x 160MHz Wireless Network Adapter (210NGW)

Or if you know some generic driver for only one of them...

Im not an expert but I think it's a new hardware and there is no solution for linux...

Hi everyone,

I can't get the last Lite update to complete.

I can't update my system until I get past this because it wants to install lite-themes first then it fails to install other updates.

sudo dpkg -C

  Loop on login screen (LL 5.4)
Posted by: evric - 09-06-2021, 12:29 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - No Replies

The Log screen appair, I put my password (if wrong I have the red message) but when I click 'connect' the system loop on loging screen

How can I repair it ? I try to download the 5.6 version but the only choice I saw is to replace the 5.4 not to repair or upgread it.

How to repair my 5.4 ?

  Linux (LL) compatible SSD
Posted by: dentalcher - 09-06-2021, 05:36 AM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (10)

Hi. I need your help regarding internal SSDs. I am not tech savvy so please pardon me if my questions sound absurd to you:
1. Will internal SSD work with a very old (12-year-old) laptop?
2. Are there specific SSD brands/models that are compatible with Linux particularly with Linux Lite (LL is the only OS in this computer)? Some lesser known SSD brands include compatibility with Linux in their product description but I’m worried about their durability. The more known brands do not specify that they are compatible with Linux.
I asked because I replaced the original 320GB HDD (using only 15% OS + files) of my ASUS K401N with a Kingston 240GB A400 SSD 2.5'' SATA. I chose this because the memory (4GB) is also Kingston, and I believe, it’s a reliable low-cost brand. It fit perfectly, computer recognized it, but every time I would install LL 5.4 (always clean install, “Erase Disk and Install Linux” type) there was always a problem after another i.e. error in copying files during installation; cannot open an App; Install updates error (which I posted 2 issues in Installing Software section of the forum); Busybox Initramfs error every time I would reboot, etc. I never had trouble installing and using LL with the old HDD. After around 15 re-install attempts, I realized it was the SSD causing the problem. So for now I’m back with the HDD but I’d like to make it work faster so I want to replace the drive with an SSD.
3. Is there anything that I should do first like formatting the SSD for LL, etc.?

Thanks very much for your input!

  Update-2 - Display resolution changed to lower value after upgrade to LL5.6
Posted by: mathewalex - 09-05-2021, 04:02 PM - Forum: Video Cards - No Replies

I upgraded LL5.4 to LL5.6 through the built-in Lite Upgrade utility. Following the upgrade, the display resolution has gone down to 1024x768 @ 76Hz on its own!
How to resolve this i.e., how to restore display back to original resolution (do not remember the value :dft001Smile.
The motherboard is MSI Z590-A-PRO, 32MBGB RAM, Processor is Intel® Core™ i7-10700 Processor (16M Cache, up to 4.80 GHz), Graphics card is ASUS GT710-SL-2GD5-BRK, and the Display is ASUS VG248QE.
Please help. Thank you.

Update (Sep 08, 2021):
I could resolve the issue by "clean" reinstalling Linux Lite 5.6 on the same disk. Now the display shows correct resolution and the system is working fine.

Update (Oct 31, 2021):

1] I did a fresh (clean) install of Linux Lite 5.6 after some upgrade to the hardware. The OS worked well with the correct screen resolution until today, when, on its own, it started with a low (1024 x 768 @ 76Hz) screen resolution! The driver check under Additional Driver shows the required NVIDIA driver (screenshot attached) as available, but every option to select is greyed out. And "Continue using a manually installed driver" is forced.
How can I change the driver to enable correct graphics resolution?
The hardware details -
Motherboard GIGABYTE Z590 UD (F5); Processor Intel Core i9-11900 @ 2.5GHz; RAM 32GB (2x16GB) Corsair CMK16GX4M1E3200C16; Graphics Card GP108 (ASUS GEFORCE GT 1030).

2] There is no option for Ethernet (wired) internet connection. Only WiFi connection available. Hence unable to use LAN option. The OS only recognizes the WiFi connection.

3] The OS does not maintain the correct time. I have to manually correct the time after each login.

Please help. I am tired of doing a clean reinstall of the OS! And, please note, I am only an ordinary computer user with no knowledge of software & hardware beyond the basics.

Thank you.

Update-1 (Oct 31, 2021):

I ran "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" followed by a reboot, and the graphics problem resolved itself.

The Ethernet and Time issues however remain to be resolved. All help to resolve these two issues is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Update-2 (Nov 07, 2021):

The video problem seems to have been resolved. Apparently  "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" did the trick.

The Time related problem also seems to have been resolved. The website "https://itsfoss.com/wrong-time-dual-boot/" was helpful in resolving the issue.

The Ethernet related issue remains to be resolved.

And, a new problem has cropped up - My HP printer Deskjet Ink Advantage 4675, which until recently was working fine under Linux Lite 5.6, suddenly stopped working with a message something like "Unable to communicate with printer". Have attempted nearly every suggestion, including HP printer driver related, available in the various Forums/Support sites, but no success. The printer is connected to the Desktop through USB, and is correctly detected by the OS! Even the Wi-Fi mode does not work.

Will continue to search for a solution to the remaining two issues, and will post details once the issues have been resolved.

Until then, appreciate any/all help from anyone of you.

Thank you.

  Nuevo en Linux. mi elegido Linux Lite 5.6 desde USB
Posted by: Maximo Artayer - 09-05-2021, 01:49 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/Smile...msorry.gif, por lo extenso de mi post, pero necesito la info al respecto ya que voy intentando varias veces y a mi edad ya no puedo esperar más y no encontré un tuto de como hacerlo.
Esta es mi máquina y de acuerdo con  lo que leí, debiera andar sin tropezones
1.-Versión:AMD Ryzen 3 2200G
2.-Fabricante:ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
3.-Producto:MOBO PRIME A320M-K
4.-Fecha de la Bios:04/19/2018
5.-Tipo de memoriaBig GrinDR4 - DDR4 Kingston 2400MHz
6.-Tamaño:4,00 GB - 64bits
7.-Tarjeta gráfica: NVIDIA GeForce 9400GT - 512,0mb - DDRAM
8.- SSD WD 447,1 GB con Windows 10,, actualizado
    SSD WD 240GB limpio formateado NTFS (para Linux)
    HDD Tamaño: 931,5GB  para todos mis archivos personales.
        Desde Linux (cuando pueda instalarlo ¿podré ver todos mis archivos?)
9.- Cargué pendrive Kingston 32GB con Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS amd64,      copiado con Rufus con su configuración por defecto.
Por primera vez se cargó el inicio (solo sin tocar nada), y cuando intenté probar algún comando en el escritorio, se colgó con lineas de puntos  verticales multicolor(¿placa de video?). Previamente, Ubuntu había revisado el USB y no dió error así que siguió solo, hasta el error.
Opté por entrar en Windows y desde el block de notas escribo lo que pueden leer. Antes había probado con Zorin, y Linux Lite 5.6; solo conseguí ver todos los comandos del inicio de la instalación, sólo texto, (¿?) y se clavaba hasta apagarla y prenderla de nuevo y seguir igual. Para el pendrive usé Balena Etcher con la misma config actual. y nunca pude ver el inicio de ninguno. ¿Qué estoy haciendo mal?, porque algo hay que me falta y falla. Primero: tengo que formatear el SSD-m.2 donde lo instalaria?
Me podrían guiar de alguna forma que me ayude.
Desde ya, infinitas gracias, estoy con muchas ganas de probar alguna distro de LINUX y sobre todo LinuxLite, y  quedo con las ganas.
Cordialmente, desde Argentina un gran saludo virtual.
