Hey gang;
Been a linux user since "old" Redhat 5.2 in 1998 .  I use Linuxlite because I use old hardware (which it runs on), I like XFCE, and I like that its downstream from Debian/Ubuntu.  Your web site, especially your download page is clogged with ads, circular links, and links to junk software.  There is not, that I have found, an obvious download link on the download page to download the latest version (all the links I found seem to lead elsewhere). I finally got the download from the ftp mirror.  Gang, I really like and use this distribution, but are you trying to commit web design suicide??.  To the web site designer, "Glad your here, but please go back to the drawing board, site is really bad / hard to use because of the above".  Have a great day.

Just a couple of months ago we lingered in the mid 20's, not sure why we have climbed so high so quickly...but it's nice.

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,
Planorez

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.

Kris

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.

I've tried to reinstall, force, and fix without success, as in sudo apt-get install --reinstall lite-autologin lite-desktop lite-info lite-manual lite-software lite-sounds lite-sources lite-themes lite-tweaks lite-upgrade-series5 lite-welcome lite-widget lite-usermanager

sudo dpkg -C
[sudo] password for user:
The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems
configuring them the first time.  The configuration should be retried using
dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect:
lite-themes          Lite Themes

The following packages are missing the list control file in the
database, they need to be reinstalled:
lite-autologin      Lite Auto Login
lite-desktop        Lite Desktop
lite-info            Lite Info
lite-sounds          Lite Sounds
lite-tweaks          Lite Tweaks
lite-upgrade-series5 Lite Upgrade Series 5
lite-welcome        Linux Lite Welcome Screen
lite-widget          Lite Widget

The following packages are missing the md5sums control file in the
database, they need to be reinstalled:
lite-autologin      Lite Auto Login
lite-desktop        Lite Desktop
lite-info            Lite Info
lite-sounds          Lite Sounds
lite-tweaks          Lite Tweaks
lite-upgrade-series5 Lite Upgrade Series 5
lite-welcome        Linux Lite Welcome Screen
lite-widget          Lite Widget


With apt update i get:
* When I APT upgrade I get this:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  lite-themes lite-usermanager
0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
