HP SmartTouch for Linux Lite 5 - johnausten13 - 07-07-2020

Hello Guys.

I am currently upgrading my sister's laptop which was previously installed with Linux Lite 4.X series (based on 16.4 LTS Ubuntu). This laptop - HP SmartTouch - was previously installed with Windows 8 but due to some keyboard problems, and other unknown problems, the touchscreen failed to work when upgraded to Windows 8.1. The keyboard problems remained so I decided to install Linux Lite. Keyboard problem solved but touchscreen still failed.

Can we expect the same with Linux Lite 5? That the touchscreen will not work? I'm not expecting anything but if it works, then great. And if not, I hope that my installation will just run smoothly.

Thanks Jerry. I'm struggling to install LL5 due to grub2 error message. I already disabled EUFI Boot and made manual partitions. Last attempt.  Smile

Leave UEFI enabled, just disable Secure Boot. Then let the installer auto partition, that would be the easiest overall approach.

I did but still kept on getting the message "grub-efi-amd64-signed package failed to install". I still clicked on 'Continue Testing' and enter these codes to the Terminal as advised, and to remedy the situation while still on the Live Mode. The installation went okay after reboot. My touchscreen is still not working but not a major setback for me though.

Code:
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
sudo mkdir /mnt/boot/efi
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done

sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64-signed
sudo grub-install --no-nvram --root-directory=/mnt

Have you tried the latest Kernel?
What is the exact model number?
