  Initial updates to a fresh 6.6 install fail. Problem with chrome key?
Posted by: stevef - 02-09-2026, 04:22 PM - Forum: Security & Bug Fixes - Replies (1)

Following a fresh install from the 6.6 iso, the update/upgrade fails reporting

Quote:The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 32EE5355A6BC6E42
Reading package lists...
W: GPG error: https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 32EE5355A6BC6E42
E: The repository 'https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable InRelease' is not signed.

Examination of the key located in trusted.gpg.d key shows expires 2026-02-14

A workaround is to run this command.
Code:
wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/google.asc >/dev/null

Updates to a pre-existing 6.6 system which has had regular updates applied work ok

  Linux Lite boot USB stuck at GRUB
Posted by: marcocc - 02-06-2026, 10:42 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (3)

Hallo,

when I try to boot Linux Lite from USB, the process gets stuck at GRUB, showing “GRUB loading” “Welcome to GRUB” and a blinking cursor. 

Here is some more information:
- USB: tried with 2 types: 16 GB USB 3.0 or 64 GB USB 3.2
- Linux Lite Version: tried with 7.8, 7.6 and 6.6 versions, sha256 sum always verified ok
- USB ISO burner: tried with Rufus 4.12 and 4.11 (trying ISO and DD image), Etcher 2.1.4 and Ventoy 1.1.10 on Windows 11
- PC: tried on two old notebooks:
  - HP Pavillon dv6-6b07ez: 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5-2430M, 8 GB DDR3 Memory, AMD Radeon HD 6490M video graphics, Intel 6 Series/C200 Chipset, BIOS Insyde Version F.1C, no UEFI, no Secure Boot
  - Compaq Presario CQ61: 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 T6500, 4 GB Memory, Mobile Intel 4 Series Chipset Family, Default System BIOS, no UEFI, no Secure Boot.

BTW: On the HP Pavillon I could boot and install Linux Mint 22.2 Xfce without problems. So, I’m really wondering why GRUB doesn’t work in the Linux Lite distro?

Thank you very much in advance for any hint!
Best regards.
Marco

  Yamaha music keyboard as midi controller
Posted by: Rohit Tak - 02-06-2026, 10:05 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

I am trying to connect the Yamaha music keyboard PSR-e473 as a MIDI controller keyboard in Linux Lite OS. 

However, it is not showing and is undetected by my PC running LinuxLiteOS 7.8

I had checked the cable; it is working perfectly with other devices, and the keyboard is recognized by the other device as a MIDI controller. 

It will be great if any one of you can guide or share reference documentation for further troubleshooting. 

Kind Regards,

Posted by: Cloppix - 02-04-2026, 04:06 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (2)

Wow. Have not typed on a forum styled like this in a very long time.

7.8 Runs Great. Used it on a 2 Month Old Hasee X5 
& I'm using it on my Favorite ride or die HP 15 r029wm Rev: 2213-100

Could use a good first guy crash course. [edit: Oh hey, see that Wiki link right on the Desktop? Booyahh]
MicroSlop CoSlop+ is lame.

Not getting locked out of a laptop all because I am in a car ever again. Linux, I've missed ya, bud. 


I Mostly do the live boot thing, but when I get things setup how I want, I'll do Linny Bo Binny Proper. Thank you for your patience as I transend from Linux N0000b to Linux Novice.

Thank You. "The Penguin people are niiiceeeeeeee!" -Billy Madison

I hope it's ok to mention that none of the images in the Release Announcement are viewable in the UK, as imgur has blocked access. See https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gzxv5gy3qo

All people in the UK can see is a purple rectangle that says "Content not viewable in your region."

- Lite Sources
- Lite System Report
- Lite Theme Manager

We're most excited about the new Lite Software. We've added more than 20 popular applications. BleachBit, Darktable, KDE Connect, Kdenlive and Stacer to name a few.

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:

Check that it matches the exact characters in sequence above.


TORRENT (Fastest way to download the Final - please help to Seed, thank you)

https://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-l...t/download

64bit Torrent - linux-lite-7.8-64bit.iso.torrent
Hash: 29a633d6a02ffd8b353ddf188125c59137030a84
Size: 2.8Gb (DVD, USB)

Live USB/DVD/VirtualBox/Vmware:

Login is automatic, no credentials are required. The image can be written to a 4gb or larger USB stick, or a writable DVD. Alternatively, you can use the dd command: sudo dd if=linux-lite-7.8-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M where 'x' is the letter of your usb stick. In linux to find out the letter of your usb stick, open a terminal and type: df -h It is usually listed as 'media' or similar. Please see the built in Help Manual if you require a more detailed explanation of this procedure.

A good, simple point and click USB ISO burner is https://www.balena.io/etcher/ or https://rufus.ie/
In our testing, Etcher and Rufus (for Windows only) have proven to be the most reliable. Etcher is available for Mac, Windows & Linux.

If the screen locks during Live mode, type linux into the user box and click on the Login button (no password required)

Recommended Computer Requirements:

1.5 Ghz Dual Core Processor or greater
4GB ram
40GB HDD/SSD/NVME
VGA, DVI, DP or HDMI screen capable of 1366x768 resolution
DVD drive or USB port for the ISO image
Disable Secure Boot

Login to the live desktop is automatic.

The first thing you MUST do after a fresh install of Linux Lite is run Menu, Favorites, Install Updates.

Series 8 is poised to introduce major changes. We've had 14 years to listen to the community, and we're going to deliver the best Series yet.
Firefox returns, a new incredible Terminal (watch this space), a super lightweight Linux Lite GTK theme (light and dark) built from the ground up, a NEW application called Lite Control Panel that will merge many of our existing applications into one easy to find and use central location, and much, much more.


Thank you

Jerry and the team.
