I have a bit of a problem with LL 4.2 UEFI not seeing my WiFi which means I can not get onto the www or any other network.
Info/outputs are at the very bottom of this post.

Using the very good info on this thread I have installed LL4.2UEFI on an external HDD that I recycled from an older laptop and so far it seams to be running spotty dog apart from the network issue I'm having. I guess you could say that I am dual booting Win10/LL4.2UEFI
I've tried LL4.8 in BIOS as this laptop can do legacy mode but still the same problem exists.
Problem also exists when using both versions of LL via live USB
I haven't tried an earlier version of LL yet but that is on the cards if I can't find a solution.

I do have an earlier version (3.X IIRC) of LL running on a 15 yo laptop and this doesn't have the problem so I copied all the network info over into this laptop with no joy.

To me it looks like LL on this laptop is not picking up the network card/adaptor so maybe drivers are missing however with no WiFi to search for what is needed I am not sure of the next step to take so I can resolve.

I'm currently search forums (mostly Ubuntu related forums so far) etc for info that may lead me in the right direction and wondered if anyone here might be able to help point me in the right direction.

Bonjour à tous,
    Après un tour de table des distributions linux, j'ai installé LL 4.8 sur un Toshiba T130-13C (passage en SSD 128Go). Tout est OK (imprimante DW2835 de base, scanner V39 après chargement et script epson) avec des performances honorables:
systemd-analyze time
Startup finished in 6.555s (kernel) + 7.394s (userspace) = 13.950s
graphical.target reached after 7.311s in userspace
Quelques reprises en français avec l'éditeur de menus. Quid à la prochaine mise à jour?
Longue vie à LL.

Ubuntu will not be including Python2 in 20.04

The first victim is Cherrytree, the note taking app in Lite Software. So now we need a replacement for it. Any ideas?

I just installed Linux Lite on an old PC (not too old).  I'm starting a serious transition from Windows 10.  I need to move several applications over, a password manager, VPN software, a few other baseline apps.  I'll worry about user files later.

Question: Can I user any basic Linux how-to book with Linux Lite?  Looking for a basic overview of Linux. 

Thank you,

Ed

I assume this is a software issue

Regular keys seem to work. Even AZERTY

But the 'at' key for e=mails doesn't work. And as you can tell e=mail also malfunctions

And there's other like exclamation mark


Dutch is available, but only Netherlands Dutch, which uses a  completly different layout (QWERTY for starters)

Not Belgian Dutch

I have Linux lite 4.8 installed on Win-10 using Oracle virtual-box 6. I failed to install
Guest addition installation.

Hope some one can help me

vlc will not recognize the cd. the cd is mounted and the music files show up on the drive but when vlc opens and i click on the devices icon the files do not transfer to vlc media player. I can move the files to my music file but i have to input all album info. What am I doing wrong. I though vlc would get all the album info automatically.

Upon my first bootup of v4.8, I got the popup requesting login. I typed in "linux"(but no quotes), and got error message saying wrong password. I read to do that somewhere on the LL site. I then tried some of the usual pw's-user, admin, root; nothing worked. Please advise. Thank you.
Update: Somehow after posting this, I got onto Jerry's post about this topic, so here's some further info:
- What software did you use to write the image?
MultiBootUSB- this was before I saw the "doesn't work with MultiBoot USB disclaimers. It has the PLOP bootloader built-in. However, booting still gave same error.

Very, very early testing of 5.0 on real hardware. Boot up is fast, shutdown is almost instant. Windows pop open very quickly, look at Libre Word open!
Fairly old HP lappy with 8gb ram, Core i7, very old first gen Vertex 60gb SSD. Can't wait to test this on modern hardware!
