After installing VirtualBox using Lite Software, setup Mint 18.2 and when I started it, got an error messag that a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv  It then says to install virtualbox-dkms package and load kernel module by executing  'modprobe vboxdrv as root.

Did this and the package will still not run.  Uninstaled and reinstalled Virtualbox and still no headway.  What am I missing.

Running on Dell Precision M4500 i7 with 8gb ddr3 ram.
Systems runs LL3.4 very well and I was hoping to use Virtualbox with this as it was in the Lite software and hopefully ready to run after installation. :-[

I just got this laptop and it does have Windows 10 installed under UEFI.

Can I install LinuxLite if I were to WIPE WinBlows from the drive?

Just disabling UEFI and Secure Boot?

I wanted to do a dual boot, but if it's not possible, then I will wipe Win10 out.
I really don't care for Windows as I have not ran it since the release of Win8.
But still some programs I run require Windows or Mac to run them. I have a
Mac, but I was going to sell it.

What are my options?

Or do I go back to Mint XFCE?

EDIT: I just booted up into the Live 3.2 edition and tried connecting my wifi and the security option only offers WEP!
What?? Where is WPA??

"Login Settings" should be included in "Lite User Manager", as it corresponds to a user's options. :Smile

I'm already having several issues with 3.4 version. Where can I re-download the last version of this OS?
I want to go back. I had way less issues.

I just installed this OS on my pc once again and ran all the updates.
When I opened Firefox and went to Sync, there is NO log -in on the
page. Where is it?

Maybe this could be of help?!

If you search an instant faderset for sound-sources (whatever) use Veromix, which is not so easy because these days there is always something wrong at installtime with the common-file.
I love the thing for years now but I almost could not get it on the pc in spite of searching very hard.

I found out: Install:
Veromix-common 018.3-1 and Veromix 0.18.3-1.1
Here it works great again in LL.

It would be interesting that when using lite tweaks options, they are already marked and do not have to be ticking every time I run the application  Wink

Hello,

when checking my ProtonMail today I see they are now offering a Free VPN service, as with the email there are also paid versions available. If you do not already have an account you will need to register to go on a waiting list for the free VPN, and/or email account.

Hi.

I have an old laptop with 500 Mb ram. Does anybody here have any experience installing Linux Lite on that laptop model?

Reason why I ask is that I have already tested out Peppermint OS on that same laptop, but I struggle with some issues (fresh install) - I mention two critical ones:
- Cannot shut down properly (must use power-button)
- Hang up after some idle time (completely freeze).

Because both Peppermint OS and Linux Lite both is based on Ubuntu, my question is: Should I expect same problems regardless of what distro I try to install, as long as the distroes is Ubuntu based?


Thanks
