Hi Team,
When attempting  to install LL 6.x or 5.8  from desktop installer, I get a known installer crash installing on an old low spec Dell Wyse 3040. Ubiquity crashes because it finds a non-UTF character in the SSD model name (MMC H8G4a\x92).  Unfortunately this appears to be common on all Ubuntu flavours that use ubiquity installer with this particular device. Note that LL 6.0 happens to work fine from live usb (albeit a little slow).
As the SSD is soldered/non replaceable, this  becomes a barrier for any try at permanent installing of any Ubuntu-based distro that uses a ubiquity install process.

Details of the ubiquity error here -
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1405081/...-wyse-3040
https://github.com/dcantrell/pyparted/issues/76

I have tried all the work arounds but ubiquity references the SSD model name throughout the install and I don't have the knowledge about ubiquity to fix it.

The good news is that using the new Flutter/sububiquity installer when trying Ubuntu 23.04 Lunar Lobster beta works perfectly without crashing.  Info on the new installer here :-
https://9to5linux.com/first-look-at-ubun...in-flutter

My problem is that I need a minimal distro XFCE rather than GNOME interface on this low spec device and Linux Lite is my goto choice as it is simply the best!

My questions are:-
(1) Has anyone found a workaround to this specific problem for Linux Lite (ubiquit) install on a Dell Wyse 3040?
(2) Will LL (7?) be using the flutter/sububiquity installer in future releases that are based on Ubuntu 23?

Bonjour,

Je viens de découvrir Linux lite 6.4 et je voudrais savoir si j'y trouverais synaptic et la logithèque ?
D'avance merci

I have installed Windows 10 and Linux Lite 6.4 on my old Desktop PC - Dual boot.

There is no problem of sound in Windows 10 operating system, but sound does not work in Linux Lite 6.4 OS.

I wasted almost 5 hours to resolve this issue, but no success.

When I hover mouse over the volume icon in the system tray, it shows "muted."

I humbly request you to help me to find out resolution to aforesaid issue.

I accidentally turned off my USB logitech mouse in the mouse and touchpad section of settings and now I haven't a way to navigate through my desktop because the touchpad and mouse are turned off.  When I restart my machine the mouse works and allows me to sign in but after when the desktop comes up the mouse is off as well as the touchpad.  Please help

I was having trouble with my M317 Logitech mouse settings and as such I went into settings mouse and touch pad.  I accidentally turned off the mouse and now I haven't a way to turn it on.  Is there a keyboard shortcut or other way to turn it back on?  I am not sure what category this falls under but I am unable to use my Lite desktop at all without a way to navigate as the touch pad is off also.  Please help!

Best regards,

Hello forum of Linux LIte os

I am new of linux world, newbie and finally I am here with your os.
( I want "update"  my knowledge about this fantastic enviroment,

:045: :045: :045: :045:

hello from the country of asterix

I'm sorry for my english, i try to do my best, google is my friend
I use linux lite since almost the standings of this operating system, while I had printers canon, epson etc etc, I never had problems, but since I changed to an hp 6000 series, it's always problems, printer not recognized, scanner not recognized, and because of that I had to replace the operating system of my main computer, but always keeping linux lite on the laptop.
do you have a solution for this type of problem? thank you in advance.

I seem to be having a few problems with my latest LL conversion from a Windows 7 to LL 6.2 and now 6.4., with some very strange keyboard behaviour.


I’m using the original machine, on which I checked the ram with Memtest86v4, and using a brand new 8TB WD Gold HDD, checked with gsmartcontrol.


I down loaded the LL6.2 from the LL support site, checked the checksum and verified the DVD burn.
And have since upgraded to LL6.4. All seemed to go well, after ignoring the usual update error message, when using the whisker menus LL Update for the first time. A second try produces success, and I ‘m now on LL6.4.


However, by LL6.2 and LL6.4 have the same problem with regard to the keyboard.


LL seems to causing the response of the keyboard output to vary. Sometimes it freezes, and sometimes it has a big delay, resulting in the cursor moving around the screen like ghostly movements, and sometimes missing characters when typing out. As if the process has lost priority, resulting in major lags and lose of response.


I have adjusted keyboard and mouse setting to the same values as a very similar machine that I have, which has been running very successfully on LL4.8 for some time.


Also another strange thing is that the Whisker Menu sometimes pops up by itself, although there might be some loose relationship to the movement of the cursor, but nowhere near the menu area.


Added to which there seems to be a conflict in the setting of the keyboard layout.
During initial installation the option of UK is given, and sure enough when you look at /etc/default/keyboard you do indeed see



XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="gb"


But the LL Terminal is set to use the US layout, with no £ and the # in a different place.


However, if you us the

you get a UK layout keyboard on the LL Terminal, but that does not survive a reboot.


The ‘Control Panel/Keyboard/Layout’ is set to ‘Use System Defaults’ as per my other machine, which has a persistent UK layout on both the LL Terminal and in all Apps.


This may or may not have a bearing on the strange keyboard behaviour, but it’s certainly causing me a big headache, in not knowing what to check next.


Can anyone help please.
