I have downloaded the file chessx.1.2.0.tgz I would like to install it, but have not success. Could you help me?

Can someone help me installing Foxit for Linux? I have downloaded the .tar.gz but just clicking on it does not install it. Any "help for dummies" available?
Foxit is heavy but unfortunately its annotations tools are much smoother than all the over PDF viewers available.

This is the first time I’ve tried installing LL 4.0. I have successfully installed LL 3.2 - 3.8 (at least 25-30 times) from both DVDs and USBs having downloaded the ISO files and creating the bootable media.

Initially I made a USB using etcher as it seems that since updating my Mac I can no longer create a bootable iso via SuperDrive (or at least I haven’t found anything explaining how to do so when I’ve googled). I plugged it into an Acer Aspire R3 131T (quad core, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB HD) and the menu came up with the choices of running LL, running in safe mode, etc. As I usually do first time I chose to run a live session to check things out and got a bunch of text I didn’t understand and then the screen turned black and I had a spinning wheel-like icon that just kept spinning and not changing.

I’m pretty sure from the info I found on the net about this laptop it is 64-bit, so I don’t believe that’s the issue (I couldn't seem to verify via BIOS if it’s 64-bit hence why I googled it).

I bailed and loaded LL 3.8 on the machine and because I’d like to check out LL 4.0 I then did what Trinidad suggested in this previously posted forum thread: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/insta...usb-drive/

I erased the USB using gparted then created the bootable ISO, all on the Acer running LL 3.8

I got the same initial menu screen, upon choosing to run the live session the same text stuff came up followed by the spinning wheel again.

I’m just wondering if this is an issue with LL 4.0 and that maybe making an ISO of 4.2 or 4.4 would work or is it something else? Is this something that might show up if indeed this machine is 32 bit vs 64 bit..?

I will try to upload the photo I took of the text. There’s lots of lines stating the following with stuff before these English words:
ACPI Error: No handler for region [RAM_]
ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed
No caching mode page found
Assuming drive cache: write though
Failed to reset device (this line showed up 3x in a row)

Any thoughts?

If it won't boot at all

1. Check the power cable. Your laptop's battery charging indicator light should turn on. If you are pc user try another power cable
2. Check the battery. Your laptop's battery charging indicator light should change color or power off when the battery is and if it never reaches full then it is dead or for some reason got short circuit.
3. Remove battery and power cable then try to boot without any power source to make any capacitors discharged then connect battery and power cable back and try to boot.
4. Take your RAM memory off the place it back you found better tutorial by googling your model and memory replace!
5. If your computer still won't boot to at least BIOS I don't know what to do

I will post other fixes also later

The AccuWeather website has a weather archive (e.g. max/min temperatures for past years/months/days), as well as weather forecasts: you just specify the town of interest on their website to view the data.

It came to my notice that AccuWeather seems unsafe, as it appears to collect WiFi data & MAC address details, see https://www.zdnet.com/article/accuweathe...ed-access/ 
Contrary to this, Norton appear to have apparently indicated that this website is safe https://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?u...eather.com

I would like to access AccuWeather on my laptop, but without it gathering details of my WiFi router, etc.  In an attempt to avoid potential security issues with AccuWeather, I attempted accessing the website using the Tor browser (using the standard settings which come as default with Tor), but access was denied as indicated by the notification below, which in itself arouses suspicion. However, I am able to access AccuWeather on our network, using either Chromium or Firefox browsers by themselves.

I now have this popping up.

Is there a simple fix?

Hello, guys.


I like to run the -applicable- Lite Tweaks options from time to time. I try not to mess much with the "Kernel Installer" section, though, but I delete whatever older versions are left there.  Today I ventured into the "Kernel installer" area and noticed there are quite a few of them (newer) available. Thus my question, do you guys recommend go for the newer kernels? ...Yes? ...No? ...and Why? I tried a quick search on the forums but those existing questions were asking whether to delete older kernels or not.

Good afternoon to all the classmates of Lite
I just bought a network card ASUS PCE-AC68 but the DVD is only for windows. I have entered the ASUS page and the selectable
operating systems are all windows. But there has to be some way that Linux Lite detects me the card from some option.
From the option install drivers does not leave me. Please, if someone can help me, i would be very grateful.
A greeting

I want my computer with 512mb of ram to be a bit unstable but still not impossible to use. Should I install LL 2.8, LL3,8 and lubuntu 14.04 to multiboot? I don't need it, so I want to use for testing linux OS's memory usage for fun.

You need                                recommended                      Other
2GB USB drive                      4GB USB drive                    Difficulty:easy
16GB USB drive                    32GB USB drive                  Up to date on:August 2020
60minutes of time                120minutes of time


Start by booting to live desktop with live USB or DVD:



Connect another empty USB drive to your computer this drive will be erased and linux lite installed to this (now) empty drive.

Double click the install icon:



Select correct language and keyboard layout:





You can connect to wifi network now if you want but this is not needed for installing the OS:



Do NOT install any proprietary drivers they often break compability between multiple computers:



Select "Something else" for manually installing to USB and not to the internal hard drive:



Now the installer shows your internal hard disk drive partitions. Do NOT make any changes to them.

Select "Device for boot loader installation:"



Select your own USB drive:





Select your own USB drive from the upper list for me it's sdc:



Remove the fat32 partition from the targer USB drive, but make 100% sure it's your stick partition my partition is 15,6gb in size and my USB drive is 16gb so it must be the correct partition Remove it with the minus icon after selecting it from the list (sdc1):



Select the free space you just made and select the plus button to create your system partition:



Choose the size to your system partition it must be at least 9GB but I recommend to make it at least 12GB otherwise you instantly run out of space and the mount point must be "/":



Select the free space again under sdc or whatever it is on your computer:



Add a "swap area" it needs about 2GB but if you want to use hibernation make it bigger than your RAM and then you must install to at least 32GB USB drive:



I also made 1550MB partition to fill the unused space with windows compatible fat32 partition and it shouldn't have any mount points:



My final partitioning looks like this:



That is OK:



Continue when it asks it:



Select your time zone:



Make user:



Wait, it say when it's done:




Note: If your swap area is bigger than biggest RAM in your computers you can use hibernation even when your stick is not connected to your computer(s).
Note2: Suspend works too, but you must keep the USB drive connected to the computer.
