I'd like to dual boot Linux Lite 3.2 on my new MacBookPro, which uses EFI (and doesn't seem to have a "legacy bios"). Has anyone done this before? Can anyone give me some advice on getting LL setup, I read in various posts that the EFI can cause install issues.
So far I have set the machine up using this tutorial:
http://www.howtogeek.com/187410/how-to-i...-on-a-mac/
but have yet to attempt a LL install. Just wanted to know if I was in for trouble or not...
For the past few days I've been getting errors when installing software. Something about root privileges. In each case, though, the software seems to install ok anyway.

The next time you get an updated package for the Help Manual, there will be a new and important tutorial covered - Setting a Restore Point using Systemback. This will also appear in the 3.4 Lite Welcome as one of the first 3 things you should do after Install Updates and Install Drivers from a fresh install.
Got a call from a friend this morning running linuxlite 2.8x64.
The chrome browser was frozen with ransomeware.
He told me openly he had been at some "Adult Sites"
He does not have sudo access to the system...Only I have.
First thought was to remove chrome and re-install the browser.
Decided in the end to reformat and install Linuxlite 3.2
Not something you see every Day.

Recently got this on e.bay for cleaning.
Not cheap......nearly £40.
Certainly does the job very well

Epson Perfection V500 flatbed scanner worked fine in LL2 series but not with LL3 series.
Output from terminal is as follows:
mike@mike-G750JS:~$ sudo sane-find-scanner
[sudo] password for mike:
# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

device `epkowa:interpreter:003:002' is a Epson Perfection V500 flatbed scanner
mike@mike-G750JS:~$ iscanFrom the above, the scanner seems to be detected but subsequently running the 'scan' command results in the following iscan notification: 'Could not send command to scanner. Check the scanner's status.'
I'm clueless as to what to do next... extremely frustrating

I suspect with the following installed before running with 'iscan':
Alright, I'm a new Linux user and can't be happier with how Linux Lite has breathed new life into my formerly unusably slow laptop...
EXCEPT, I can't get the wireless to show up.
After trying to find new drivers (I didn't) I've done a bit of snooping around here for solutions and ran rfkill and got the following:
0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Which says to me that my Wireless LAN should be working, right? Yet when I click my internet connections, the wired option is the only one that appears.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
If it helps the output from inxi -n is:
Network: Card-1: Broadcom BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX driver: b44
IF: eth0 state: up speed: 100 Mbps duplex: full
mac: 00:16:d4:a8:c7:e5
Card-2: Broadcom BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller
driver: b43-pci-bridge
IF: N/A state: N/A mac: N/A
It's great to see all these new kernels coming down through Install Updates. Makes me feel like my system is stronger for it.
Was at the Dentist yesterday for a six month check.
While I was in the chair the dentist booted up his computer to get my dental records.
It was running Windows XP .
