  Installing LL 5.0 without Grub but refind from Windows 10
Posted by: MarcDriver - 06-20-2020, 08:33 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (4)

Hello,

I tried to installed on one of the 2 laptops I own LL50 and installed also refind from Windows 10.
- Refind works well
but
when I choose "Ubuntu" which is the label of LL for boot, It opens on GRUB which proposes also to all the OS I Have on my computer.
I made a search and I found on a Ubuntu forum how to leave Grub and I applied on my LL.
However,
when I launch LL vie Refind, it searches Grub without success and I cannot launch LL !

First Question :
- How to modify the Refind config File in order to be able to launch LL ?

Second question :
- on my second computer, how to install LL without GRUB ? By not creating a EFI partition ?


Both replies are important to me.

Hoping to read you soon

Regards

Marc Driver

Hello, everyone!
My name is Şerban Stănescu, I am from România, Alexandria, Teleorman County.
I am a daily Linux user since 2012 and I do all kinds of tasks on Linux, mostly content creation tasks (writing books, creating graphics, music and video).
My "industry" -- so to speak -- is Personal Development and I use a computer to enhance my possibilities (courses, meetings, graphics, presentations, videos, etc.). I have some 25 years of daily practice, on various Windows versions and last eight years, entirely on Linux.
I've been on Linux Mint since 2012 till 2018 when I switched to Linux Lite and I have to say I am super-pleased.
Linux Lite, is among the extremely few distributions capable of allowing one to create an ECOSYSTEM.
Actually I know only two other distros capable of creating an ECOSYSTEM: Manjaro and Redcore.
All the rest, are simply dedicated distros.
With those being said, I guess you can figure out a few things about me and what am I interested in.
All the best!
Şerban Stănescu.

  Partitioning
Posted by: Expatparis - 06-19-2020, 10:10 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (7)

Hello Everyone,

I am new user of LL and a real rookie. I have installed LL on dual boot with W10 and love the new OS over my W10 but I have an issue which would appreciate your expert thoughts on.

When using Firefox / Chromium, I cannot download and save any pdf files and always get the download failed - disk full error. Now I have been updating LL and installing several apps I needed and they dl / install like a breeze but pdf files have been giving me this message from day one.

Here is what I get on GParted as details of the partitions.

Partition            File System        Mount Point        Label                          Size                  Used              Unused

Any thoughts are appreciated. I just hope I don't have to redo the installation.

Many Thanks

  Lite Sounds not disabling logout sound
Posted by: RumDrama - 06-19-2020, 07:46 PM - Forum: Security & Bug Fixes - Replies (3)

Hi everyone.

When I use Lite Sounds and choose Disable Logout Sound it doesn’t give me feedback with the message: Sounds Have Been Disabled - OK, like the other ones do. After restarting the computer, I Logout and the sound still plays. After disabling the logout sound then Enable Logout Sound I get: The Logout Sound may already be enabled. So it’s not disabling at all. I’m trying to have no System Sounds whatsoever. Thank you for your help.
