I am trying to install Linux Lite 3.8 32-bit on a Compaq Presario SR1610NX (3200+ AMD Sempron 1.8 GHz, 80GBs storage, and Integrated ATI Radeon XPRESS 200, BIOS 3.33 8/17/05) I recently upgraded the 256MBs RAM to 4 GBs.

The current OS is Windows XP Home Edition, but after trying to install Linux Lite with a USB ( I used Rufus to create the bootable USB), I can't even load up XP anymore. I tried to recover XP, but that wouldn't work either. I don't want XP on it, though. I want Linux Lite. I used Rufus to create the bootable USB.

So here's the real problem. I start the Presario. I hit Esc for the blue boot menu and choose the option - Hard Drive Group - USB-HHD0: Lexar USB Flash. Then I choose Start Linux Lite 3.8 32-bit. After that, it takes me to a yellow screen with a feather on it, but that is as far as it will go. I tried just waiting to see if it would eventually load up, but it does not. I waited hours. Any ideas??

Also, I did look through the forum for similar problems. I saw one about a yellow feather screen, but it did not help me.

Hello all! I'm just getting started in computer repair, and I decided to install Linux Lite on my first customer's pc. Wish me luck!

Howdy!

I'm trying to install 3.8 on my Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 11s and have been running into a few problems. First, I had to put the machine into legacy mode via BIOS to make it accept USB booting. Second, after I thought I installed LL on my hard drive I tried to boot up without the install USB and my computer no longer sees my hard drive at all, not for booting not even as an option in the boot menu. Third, when I boot off the USB now and try to access the hard drive I get the error message "Can't mount file."

Any idea on how to troubleshoot this? I ran sudo fdisk -l and got these results

currently i have

i am running docker and if i run safe-upgrade machine hangs on reboot

I've been using a previous version (2.8 I think?) since 2015 and it has always been rock solid.
Well tonight I decided it was time to upgrade but I was a little nervous that something would not work as well.

Well, logging in after the install is like being greeted by an old friend who now runs much faster .
Thanks to the developers for all your work.I hope to donate soon.

Hi from cold winter

For some unknown reason Linux Lite 3.8 takes forever or never mounts my Maxtor external hard drive. I have tried different ports, rebooting and restarting with the drive on and off, connected and not connected. Have not tried uninstalling 3.8 and going back to 3.6 to see if that will work or try reinstalling 3.8. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi folks,

We are finally moving off a shared web server to a dedicated web server. The main difference is that we won't have to share hardware resources with dozens of other sites anymore. We will have our own web server, just for us.

One of the main reasons we're going to need this is that at the release of 4.x, we're expecting a surge in uptake of our search engine. This will require us to have a server that won't bug out if too many people are on it. The Forums are getting busier every month too. Dedicated servers are not cheap. I've shopped around, and the best value one that I can find that will meet our needs for years to come is 12 times per month in costs to run, than our current one. Hopefully our search revenue by mid year and beyond is enough to fund this. Either way, we need it.

So over the next few days, the new server will be installed and set up. Naturally, there may be some downtime across our web services. Our repo is on a separate dedicated server so updates should not be affected, this is the reason I created it separately. But there may be interruptions and downtime in the Forums and on the main site. Just giving you all a heads up.

If you'd like to throw a small contribution towards the first years costs, I'd really appreciate it - https://www.linuxliteos.com/donate.html
Choose an option there that you're comfortable with. Thank you.

Here's to growing up

And now here's a couple of appropriate memes...may the force be with us.
