How do I know if my Windows PC has UEFI?
In Windows Search, type msinfo or msinfo32 and launch the desktop app named System Information. Look for the BIOS Mode item, and if the value for it is UEFI, then you have the UEFI firmware. If it says BIOS Mode Legacy, then that’s the firmware you’re running.
Secure Boot is supported, but unless you know exactly how to handle it, it is a P.I.T.A. at best so I am going to say...you must disable Secure Boot to enable stress free computing.
Some helpful snippets from the latest Help Manual:

- Open /etc/default/grub as Administrator.
- Comment out: GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` and leave GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Linux Lite' uncommented.
- Should look like:
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Linux Lite'
#GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
- sudo update-grub
Help Manual will be updated in the Final release.

Hi,
I installed Linux Lite 5.6 on an old Medion Laptop - it works fine once started up but the boot process takes a long time.
Browsing the forum I tried a number of things but without any significant improvement.
Would someone have a piece of advice for me? Help would be highly appreciated!

I've installed 5.6 on a system that I am trying to run as a background server. Periodically, it looks like the system goes into hibernation or sleep (not a laptop). I've checked the BIOS for any power settings (there are none), and tried disabling all of the power saving features found in settings -> power manager. I'm wondering if there is somewhere else I need to disable something?
I'm still trying to pinpoint the exact circumstances that see the hibernation. I'm seeing the issue after I move it into it's final location. It's working fine after the initial boot (and if I keep an active connection to it, it's been up for hours), but if I disconnect and leave it it drops off the network completely (port is down on the switch) which makes me think it's full hibernation.
Hola amigos, siempre me he preguntado esto, mi laptop personal le he querido cambiar el fondo de login porque el que tiene por defecto no me gusta. ¿como puedo cambiar el fondo?
Hello !
I'm new to Linux Lite and I love it so far 
I have an USB Headset (HyperX Cloud II) and everytime I reboot, it disappears from listed audio devices. If I unplug it and replug it, it reappears though.
I would like this to be consistent among reboots. Can you tell me how to manage that please ?
Thank you in advance !
Update : Mysteriously, my headset was detected this morning at boot. I think it has something to do with the installation process of the distro, or the initial updates. Everything is working now
Why do I get multiple instances of the same device and how can I hide them?
The various scanner applications (XSANE, Simple scan, GIMP and so on), all show half a dozen or so "different" devices, when in reality there is only one. Also, not all "devices" work.
For example, if I use Simple Scan, it gives me the following devices to select from:
EPSON ET-2720 Series:002:007
EPSON network scanner
EPSON PID
ESCL EPSON ET-2720 Series
ESCL EPSON ET-2720 Series SSL
ESCL EPSON ET-2720 Series [5839454A3039313612]
However, only the ones with ESCL in the name work.
Then, when I use GIMP, which calls up XSANE, it again lists them, but with slightly different names:
[i]EPSON ET-2720 Series:0 flatbed scanner [epsonscan2:ET-2720 Series:002:006:esci2:usb:ES018F:4439]
EPSON network scanner flatbed scanner [epsonscan2:networkscanner:esci2:network:192.168.0.130]
EPSON PID flatbed scanner [epson2:net192.168.1.130]
ESCL EPSON ET-2720 Series Se flatbed scanner [escel:https://192.168.1.130:443]
ESCL EPSON ET-2720 Series Se flatbed scanner [escel:http://192.168.1.130:443]
ESCL EPSON ET-2720 Series [flatbed scanner [escel:http://127.0.0.1:60000]
1. Why is the same device listed in six(twelve) different way?
2. How can I remove/hide the non-working options?
Hi, linux noob here. Lately, I have been getting extremely slow internet speed with linux. My router is working fine as i have already checked with other devices. I am on wifi most of the time, and the slow speed is really pissing me off. Please help :60:

One of the early reasons that I found as an advantage of Linux is the catagorizing of the menu system. I had that (again) when I started using Linux Lite. But something has happened to my menu, and I don't know what caused it.
I have two identical computers, both running LL5, and both have almost all the same added and subtracted programs. The #2 computer is mostly a backup for the #1 unit. After I installed LL on both, I went through most of the options in the Settings to get the OS to be as I wished. After that, I mostly ignored all the items in Settings.
A few days ago, it was obvious that the entire menu had changed on the #1 computer that I use daily: Left and right had changed places, the word "Menu" to the right of the menuing LL feather had disappeared, the little group of icons just above that was now on the upper right, and the icons for each catagory's programs had at least doubled in size. The #2 unit still has the menu as it was installed and customized.
I CAN deal with this as it is, but I much prefer the way it all was when I installed LL and did the customization that I wanted. Can I do this?
In a search here, one person said that he uninstalled Whisker Menu, then re-installed it, and it solved his problem. I am reluctant to do this in case the new installation does not show the added programs and does show the deleted programs.
Can I copy the menu [and its config file(s)] from the #2 computer to the #1? If so, where in the directories are they located and what are their names?
I do know that I can just do a full new installation, but that is like rebuilding a car engine when it only needs new spark plugs.
Thanks in advance for any solution to this. If anyone also wants to explain how this happened, I am curious about that, as I know I didn't do anything intentional to cause it.
Ciao!
I installed LL on 2 PCs, on the old one all is ok,
on the new one suddenly I can't no more log-in.
Every time that I insert the pwd the system seems to login, but after changing the background image as for connecting,
it return to the pwd request.
I'm sure that the pwd is correct because is the same as the older pc.
Now I'm as root.
when I try to start the 'User Settings' it is working in loop and the cursor is 'rolling'.
I tried to change/add the data for the user from Terminal but nohting...
New user appear in the list but I can't have access to my LL.
How can I do to resolve?
I'm not an expert user, so, pls, be very clear!
Thanks!
