I perform a standard install from a USB Image to a small Intel NUC box (8GB memory, couple of CPUs) and when it completes its reboot,and goes back to BIOS, I remove the memory stick and I get the grub prompt. Watching the messages, it claims it's doing the mkboot of sda, and claims to be updating grub but won't boot cleanly after install. I have always selected "wipe config".

FAQ
- It's your hardware / check your BIOS - worked the last 12 times I installed the same image on the same hardware. BIOS boot order is correct (hard drive first, USB second)
- Oh that's easy, just perform [insert 50 grillion commands here] - no, this project is for general public release, they do not have the capacity for 50 grillion commands and besides, it worked before; I need this to be consistent.

I am a Redhat Sysadmin for a living for 20+ years, I have made many custom ISOs and PXE/DHCP boot configs; I know the way OS installs are supposed to work. This OS Install is not working.

Any advice would be appreciated. Regards, Spencer

Posting error log, as suggested by update process:

E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?

Thanks

I think there is alot of us that would love a smaller iso that maybe gives a more minimal install or a net install?
Im having loads of problems with the installer on many machines where it just chokes during install.. no errors.. just hangs .. forever.

Hello,

Can you help me, install CPU-X to see the information about my laptop? I don't want to remove the Linux Lite and put Windows to see the information system of the laptop.

The link for CPU-X is here: https://www.omglinux.com/cpu-z-app-for-linux/

Thank you!

This happened in the past with the previous release and successively with the last one .  Turning off the pc in "suspend" and then waking up makes networking working again.  I tried to assign fixed IP: in "connection information" IPv4 appears configured but the browser didn't retrieve web pages from the internet. I was forced to reinstall the last release 6.6 and initially it worked fine but since  some days  the problem proposed again.
Booting from the live cd, all works properly almost all the time.  Maybe it is an hardware fault but i dont know how to detect it (perhaps whith a diagnostic tool).

Any ideas how to solve it?

Hi,
I recently created a new user and when he logs in the desktop looks like a mac. :-(
We cant find where we change the theme back to the default.
Could you please guide me to the settings?

Hello there, I'm a new user of LL 5.6, and I'm currently in the process of switching from Lubuntu to Linux Lite for our company's PC image. So far, Linux Lite has been performing exceptionally well on our older hardware. However, I've encountered some difficulties when creating a master image to use on other hardware, and I'm unsure where to seek assistance for my inquiries. If you could kindly direct me to the appropriate forum or platform to post my questions, I would greatly appreciate it.
