I posted this once but didn't see it after a few hours. So apologies if it appears twice. I installed Linux Lite 5.6 to a SSD using a newer motherboard system with UEFI and a Ryzen CPU. I was then able to boot from that SSD fine. I then moved the SSD to the target system an old Athlon 64b 3500+ PC. It will not boot to the hard drive. I've also tried a Seagate rotating drive with the same results. The drives are recognized by the BIOS (non secure) but I only see a cursor on the display.
Running from the DVD I can see that the partitions seem to be correct using Gparted. I have attached a txt file of the system HW and a link to a screen shot of the Gparted is here:

Hello Everyone: I installed 5.4 on a Gateway notebook and the keyboard is not the best. I need a on-screen keyboard but have not been able to find a built-in one in 5.4. Where can I find one that I can download and install?
Thanks,

Hi all!
I've been using Linux Lite for a year without any real issues. After a recent update I'm hitting the login loop (back to login screen after entering the password over and over again) and can't access the system. I've tried some of the fixes that were linked to Ubuntu website in this forum but so far none of them did the trick of allowing me past the login screen. Is anyone here available to provide some troubleshooting help? I'm facing some data loss if I have to reinstall so any help would be greatly appreciated.

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...

Thanks a lot for your support
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!
i am still using linux lite 4.8 64bit.
i have parts of libre office installed, it was that way when i first installed linux lite, :dft003: .
the libre office version is
"Version: 6.0.7.3
Build ID: 1:6.0.7-0ubuntu0.18.04.10
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3;
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group"
how do i update this libre office using the terminal ?.
can it be done ?, if yes what do i type in the terminal to do this ?.
i want to say thank you to all those who reply, even if its to tease me with comedy, hugs :o 8) .
I found Cyberlink PowerDVD for Windows, but can't find any for my LL laptops. Any suggestions? I don't mind paying.
