I have downloaded Linux Lite 5.0 64 Bit ISO and made persistent live USB using mkusb on Ubuntu 20.04. When I boot in Live Persistent or Live Only Mode I get the following Desktop (Photograph by android phone).
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i5iu7j8...sp=sharing

If I go back to boot options and select Recovery, Select Resume in Recovery I could boot into normal Desktop of Linux Lite 5.0.

I tried normal boot in persistent as well as Live only options once again and got the same Jumbled Display.

I have this false positive message in drivers which states my Intel wifi is not working when in fact it is having no trouble at all on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks.  Download/upload speeds are fine.
The radio selection buttons "Using iwlwifi driver backport...." and "Do not use the device" are both greyed out and if I select "Continue using a manually installed driver" the Apply Changes button still remains greyed out.  So no matter what I do, the Intel Corporation: Wireless 3165 "This device is not working" message remains constantly there under the Additional Drivers tab.

But as mentioned before, wifi works fine on both channels.

Any ideas on what might be going on here?  See attachment for screenshot.

PS:  Great work on allowing LL 5.0 to boot on a 32bit UEFI system to install, this Compute Stick PC will live on a bit longer without Windows 10

I just installed Linux Lite 5.0. Great release. I have one issue. The Lite Widget goes off the screen. Only a slight bit of the left side of the widget shows on my monitor. Can somebody please help me get this to work correctly? Thanks

Hello all,
I successfully installed the Cinnamon theme for Linux Lite 5.0! It looks awesome, but I will not disclose how I did this as the help guide for Linux Lite states this is not recommended for newbies or beginners. Thankfully I am of not either category! This is what my desktop looks

When I installed LL4.8, I went into my computers bios and set it from UEFI to legacy.

So, now that LL5.0 has been released with UEFI support, I'm wondering if I should do a legacy install or if I should
go back into bios and change it back to UEFI.

What would be the pros and cons of each method of install ?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to make a dynamic update client (it updates my IP on noip.com) run by default on startup of the computer. It's a command line based client. I have to execute the client by hand from a terminal each time.
Thanks

Hey,
Why is it my USB wifi adapter says its connectd to my network yet when I try to surf the web and such using wifi in Linux Lite 5.0 I can't? However when I use my phone's usb tethering I am able to get online? How do I fix this? The WIFI says its connected to my home network too...

GUFW has been replaced by the highly configurable FireWallD (disabled by default).
Please read the full guide in the Help Manual under Tutorials.



New Updater notifier:



Enabled by default to check for updates twice per day, and only notify when there are updates.
To disable, Menu Settings, Session and Startup, Application Autostart tab, untick Package Update Indicator.

Easy to use, HiDPI Settings in the Settings Manager, Hardware section with handy information:

A huge thank you to [member=5059]whateverthing[/member] for his masterful artwork which without, we would be sorely lacking.

WolfLand over at the Pinguy forums. He has brought forward some time proven software to the 2020's and has been instrumental in providing us with something we can turn into a UEFI and Secure Boot supported product.

Our very generous financial supporters, you know who you are. This has been the most expensive development cycle to date. I have paid out $100's of dollars to developers in the last 2 months alone, mostly at UpWork. The changes to 2 applications alone cost $300USD and required extensive time, work and collaboration.

But I thought Linux Lite didn't support UEFI?

For those that don't follow us and our development, that was a common misconception. We've actually supported UEFI since Series 2.x, that's nearly 6 years now. You've gotten the same programs, features and tweaks as all the other Linux Lite releases, just with UEFI added. The only difference that's ever existed was that it was never pushed in the media as the default release.

Further to the above, I said we would only provide a UEFI build as default, if our hand was forced. Without going into too much detail, you can draw your own conclusions here - https://www.anandtech.com/show/12068/int...fi-by-2020 Now was the latest we could react. It is what it is...
In a nutshell, Intel is dropping legacy BIOS's this year. That's roughly half the CPU market. I'd say 50% is a strong, impactful enough statistic for us to act in favour of our target base. Our goal after all, has always been to expose Windows and Mac users to an alternative operating system. We can't look at ourselves and say that we are doing that effectively if we restrict half of that market, some of which have never installed an OS before, to legacy technology.

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:





UEFI Support link - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/uefi-secure-boot/

Window Theme: Adapta
Icon Theme: Papirus
Font: Roboto Regular

Details:

Kernel: 5.4.0-33 (custom kernels also available via our Repository for versions 3.13 - 5.6)
Firefox: 76.0.1
Thunderbird: 68.8.0
LibreOffice: 6.4.3.2
VLC: 3.0.9.2
Gimp: 2.10.18
Base: 20.04

Known Issues:

No prompt to eject Media at the end of the Legacy install, prompt is available at the end of the UEFI install.
Release Notes - works only in some installation modes.
Desktop icons - English support only.
Grub - holding shift down whilst booting in UEFI mode does not bring up the Grub menu (works in Legacy mode), waiting for Ubuntu fix.
Grub menu shows Linux Lite as 'Ubuntu'. After you install Linux Lite, you can change Grub to show 'Linux Lite':

- Open /etc/default/grub as Administrator.
- Comment out: GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` and leave GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Linux Lite' uncommented.
- Should look like:
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Linux Lite'
#GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`

and finally:

So, I am pretty new to the OS and when I started using it, I encountered problems with the connection and slowly the problems started growing worse. Now, I cannot connect to the internet.

When I faced this problem, I simply rebooted the PC and it seemed to kept working. But now, even rebooting the system isn't solving the problem.

The problem is that when I boot up the PC, it automatically disconnects the network and when I try to reconnect, it doesn't let me connect. I know that the network adapter is working but it is still not connecting to the network.

Please help me with this issue.
Thanks.
