  Install Updates Error Log
Posted by: Andrew Cunningham - 11-02-2023, 07:26 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

Hi, I have installed Linux Lite from a USB stick onto my daughter's Samsung RC530 laptop which had been running Windows 7 home edition, but which had run into boot I/O problems which I could not overcome despite extensive attempts. The Linux installation was done with Linux as the sole OS and as part of the process Partitions 2 & 3 of the hard drive were reformatted. I am encountering a message in the bios when I try and boot which states: "Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device or Insert Boot media in selected boot device and press a key". Not sure what changes I have to make to get the computer to boot from Linux Lite on the hard drive and so I have been using the usb with Linux Lite for booting and been trying to load install updates. Below is the log I received and was requested to submit to you.

Any help you are able to give to sort my problems would be appreciated. Windows had originally recorded the DVD/CD Rom Drive as DVDWBD TS-LB23A but presently just known as cd drive.

  Antivirus Needed - October 2023
Posted by: Kevin Perez - 10-31-2023, 05:47 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (3)

(02-27-2017, 05:00 AM)rokytnji link Wrote: Either one of the above will suit your needs if you change your mind and put questionable files to share on usb with a Windows user.
I have never infected my wife's work windows gear with malware.

Also. I am the best anti-virus by my computer usage and browsing habits. The space between my shoulders handle that job quite nicely.

After doing a search for "free antivirus software" on this forum, I found https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/on-to.../#msg29699. Then I tried to comment on this topic. I received a warning that I ought to be quite sure I want to reply to a post that is 120 days old. Hence my creating this new topic. There are two goals I have in mind, the short term is to get rid of the pop-ups on my computer, which only seem to appear each time I open a Chrome window, and learn how to post a jpeg screenshot or other image to this post. The long-term is to follow "rokytnji", as I believe (thanks to his platinum member status) possesses the knowledge necessary to make antivirus software nearly obsolete.

Now for my awkward introduction, even when I know better, I sometimes act in something other than my best interest. I am pretty sure this is why the attached screenshot became a problem. I will do my best to prevent the above from happening as not only I, but those who read this thread, learn to listen to Roky. Hopefully, it is okay if I call him him. (Please note, the main reason I use this pronoun is that Roky is a masculine sounding name.) My awkwardness is a mixed blessing. It is great for spotting bugs. Its curse is my computer frequently suffers performance wise as it succumbs to malware. If you are patient with me, it may also teach us how to recover from them. There seems to be two cycles involved when it comes to the pop-ups. The first is what I call the broad-brush strokes, and the second is the narrow strokes. Before the two cycles my posts key:
[ . . . ]      - button or link.
. . .          - text inside the button or link.
Open        - If a screenshot depicts a window, then it is open.
Active        - The window I am currently interacting with.
Inactive    - Any window that is not currently active.

Broad:
1. If I turn off my desktop, then turn it back on:
  1. Open Chrome
  2. See a screen full of attached pop-ups:
    [Image: Screenshot_2023-10-31_09-22-13.jpg]
  3. Imagine there is only that white space between each pop-up.
  4. To get rid of the notifications, I click anywhere other than the two included buttons.
  5. The two buttons are [Activate] and [Settings]. Whereas the link (shown in the second attachment) is [stabledstreaming.com].
  6. Turning off or restarting and then opening Chrome resumes the broad cycle.

Narrow cycle
  1. If I leave the Chrome window active, for 2.5 to 3 minutes, then the pop-up reappears.
  2. If it is inactive, for 2.5 to 3 minutes, then the pop-up still reappears.
  3. At your request, I will test whether they reappear
     
  1.      
  2. if I don't open Chrome upon rebooting Linux Lite
         
  3. if I have closed Chrome using the [ x ], [alt + F4], or killed it with Task Manager
         
[/list]

How would you recommend I proceed?

  Comment se passent les mises à jour vers une nouvelle base LTS ?
Posted by: Jokester2079 - 10-30-2023, 02:26 PM - Forum: French [French] - Replies (1)

Bonjour,
Est-ce qu'il faut faire une installation complète avec une nouvelle iso ou est-ce que la mise à jour se fait de manière "classique" ?
Je me demande si je peux instalelr Linux Lite sur les ordinateurs de connaissances sans avoir à fournir un support important lors de mises à jour importantes comme le changement de base LTS d'Ubuntu.

Merci d'avance pour votre réponse.

  Error, Busybox INTRANFS
Posted by: LarryB1607 - 10-27-2023, 04:23 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (5)

Sorry if posting in the wrong spot.  Received some updates Wed and now I cannot get into my system.  Even an older package does not work as well as a recovery one which goes on forever.  Typing in help brings up a long line of cryptic to mestuff that I cannot copy to post.  Using LLOS 4.8???  I have an old backup, but not sure how to get to it and it would be way to old anyway.  I will run Gparted and find out the drive.  I have  a system and a user partition.  If I need to reinstall, will my user partition remain usable?  This happened once before from an update, but I was able to use an older package , but not this time.  thanks for any help

  It will be possible update from inside Linux Lite 6.6 for Linux Lite 6.7 or 7.x?
Posted by: Carlos Bernardino - 10-25-2023, 11:23 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (3)

Hello!

I have one doubt that I want to ask.

The update of Linux Lite 6.6 for Linux Lite 6.7 can be made using one updater inside the Operating System Linux 6.6? The same ask for Linux 7.x?

I don't have many resources to buy some USB Flash Drives and thanks to this distribution I give another life for the PC of my mother!

Thank you very much for reading and if is possible an answer!

Regards!

  Secure Boot is more Slow in Kernel 6.6 than in Windows 10
Posted by: Carlos Bernardino - 10-25-2023, 11:05 PM - Forum: UEFI Secure Boot - Replies (3)

Hello guys, how are you?

I only want to inform you that my Linux Lite 6.6 is very slow when booting. Compared with Windows 10, the time that I must wait is more or less double the time compared with Windows 10.

But the apps are quicker in Linux Lite 6.6 than in Windows 10! In Windows 10 it was really very slow or 10x of time!

I only want to give my feedback about this situation with the Secure Boot and know if this is happening with anyone here!

This Linux Lite 6.6 is used every day by my mother and is now adapted to Linux Lite 6.6 because Windows 10 was very slow, taking 15 minutes to open the browser Google Chrome.

In conclusion, I'm very satisfied with this Linux Lite 6.6 and my mother too!

Congratulations to the people who do this distribution!

Thank you very much!

Best Regards!
