Hello ! Trying to install linuxlite on HP4510s probook laptop. Using a live CD the installation runs well but rebooting the error message indicating indicating no disk no boot appears. It seems the bios is "locked" on these laptops. Tried several tips from various linux distributions but nothing worked. Linuxlite operates without a problem from the live cd and even on and usb bootable key but I can't make it run from the hard drive of the laptop. The old windows 7 OS installed on the machine was corrupted so had to eras it... so no OS as I cleaned the disk erasing it before the LL installation. Any solutions/procedures anyone?  Thanks for your help....

Yes, just done it on my system.  In-series upgrade don't involve re-installs.


From the Lite Welcome screen
Select Install Updates
Scroll Down to find an Upgrade to 6.6 button


Or
Menu
Settings
Lite Upgrade


If you don't see these options, the instructions in the announcement should help.

I resolved my slow shutdown with this generic fix:

Made my boot times from 1 minute, to a few seconds:

I have an Intellimouse.  It works fine except for very glitchy right clock chores.  When I right click I hear several clicks and the menu disappears.  It might take 10 clicks to get a stable menu.  It sounds like a driver thing, but I am not sure where to look.  It works as it should in Windows.

Thanks for any help

Hi there

I'm a total neophyte with Linux (installed Linux Lite yesterday), and have no idea how to install my Canon printer. No idea what I'm doing at all, tbh.

I've followed the manual, but I can't seem to find a driver file for the G5050 at all, and have no idea where to extract the driver file to in any case (unable to install to /usr/share/ppd for some reason).

Can anyone out there advise on a step-by-step for this?

Many thanks

Hello guys, how are you?

I want to install an antivirus system in Linux Lite 6.6. I have already tried some commands but without success. I am a new user, touching these systems.

Could you help me install CLAM AV or COMODO?

I want to install the weather application available on Linux Lite Software Manager. I have already installed it with the GUI but I tried to search the weather app, and I don't see the app on the system tray!

Can you give me some GUI or command instructions to use on the terminal to solve these situations that I want? :003:

Thank you very much.

Following a recent software update, done in the usual way, it appears that two behaviours have changed.

1. The use of the keyboard ESC key to wake up from Suspend. I now have to push the power button on the computer.


2. Display a removable media on the desktop,  such as a USB stick, when it is plugged in.
The File Manager shows it has been recognised and mounted, but is not on the desktop as it usually is, and specific stick has done regularly before.


Is there a setting somewhere, that allows these two behaviours to be retrieved. Everything else seems to be working fine on LL6.6.



Thank You

Using Desktop Settings selecting Default Icons there isn't a way to change the icons.  I want to change the Home & Trash icon looked around couldn't find a way to do it.  hrug
