I couldn't take a screenshot of the message as this is occurring when I start up an older Dell Latitude D610.  The message in full is:

error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hdo'.
error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hdo'.

Press any key to continue..._

I am simply wondering what this means and if I need to do anything?

It will boot into LL 3.8 regardless of whether I "press any key to continue" or simply when I wait it will automatically boot up and in fact it pulls up the LL 3.8 login screen faster if I simply wait rather than pressing a key.  It then appears to function fine and so far I have not experienced any issues.

The specs on this laptop are: RAM 2 GB; HD 130 GB; Pentium M 1.73 GHz

I loaded LL 3.8 from a USB that I made from a new install on which I had made a bunch of changes (added various programs that I always want on each install, etc).  I have used this same USB for the past 4-6 months with no issues.

I have used this same USB for two other laptops that I received at the same time (about 2 weeks ago) and while they are newer models (I use that loosely!) I do not get this message.

I did see a similar post with the same first line, however theirs didn't have the option to "press any key to continue" and sounds like they had bigger issues...

I have a Dell G5 with Ryzen 4800H w/built in Vega iGPU AND Radeon 5600M 6GB video card built in.

When I put in the boot stick it always stops at "amdgpu error fail to stop psp ring"

Any ideas?  Dying to get linux on this beast of a machine.

Dear All,

I'm running LinuxLiteOS with default GUI mode. I want to set some startup scripts but not sure where to start?

Do you know how linuxliteOS startup? Any related to /etc/rcx.d? Any RunLevel documentations we can follow?

Thanks.

BR
Sunny

I put LL on a friends laptop and downloaded GNU (GIMP) It opens on his laptop in an anomaly huge display with most of GNU's home screen missing ( NOT THE PHOTO IMAGE!!!!!)
The single screen size is selected. If never had this problem before.
Ideas?

I am installing into the 2 partitions which previously held LLOS 4.8.  The partitions were / and /home.  The boot loader was on partition /.  This was on an external USB HDD that had EXT4 partitions set up for this.  This worked perfectly when booted.  I do have an NTFS partition also on the same USB drive and these coexisted with no issues.

When doing the LLOS 5 install I chose the option "something else" and set the 2 partitions up the same as the previous install of LLOS 4.8.  I set the boot loader to install on the / partition.  Both times the install seemed to go without a hitch.  Both times when I tried to boot, I got an error that it could not find the necessary boot files.  It then went into boot rescue and did nothing for several minutes. 

Once it said I would have to install Grub manually.  Tried doing that while back in the live session, but it said it could not find the device.

I did do a timeshift of LLOS 4.8, but not sure it will work since the drive letters have changed from the new install attempts.

The / partition is 35 GN and the /home partition is 37 GB.

Any suggestions?  I used Etcher to do the live USB and it seems to work fine.

Downloaded Etcher, moved to 4Gb USB pendrive
Downloaded Latest version of Linux Lite.
Run Etcher. Clicked on Linux Lite Etcher did it stuff and finished.
Moved Pen drive to destination PC. Already has a versionn of Linux Cinnamon installed.
Started Destination PC
Icon on desktop called Lonux Lite 5.0
Clicked on that, as per the instructions. This opened a file.
9 Directorys (or whatever people are calling these no-a-days) listed.
boot, casper, dists, EFI, install, isolinux, pool, preseed, disk plus three txt files, md5sum.txt, README.diskdefines, ubuntu

What am I supposed to do?


The instructions clearly say, double click on  Install Linux Lite icon on the desktop.

This icon isn't there!


I don't know what to do. Can anyone please say in simple english, what I am supposed to do?

Thank you.
