Installing Linux Lite / Re: BootDevice Not Found - acer aspire s7
« Last post by Şerban S. on April 12, 2024, 08:38:26 PM »
Hi!

[...] When i restart it without they key, i have a black screen with the mention "BootDevice Not Found"[...]
UEFI is enabled
secure boot is disabled [...]

This message means at least two things:
1. The destination drive is damaged. This means it has bad sectors.
2. The drive has an MSDOS type partition. This always leads to errors since your machine has UEFI firmware.
In either case, you need to diagnose the disk.
For that, you need a tool that does that.
The tool is called GPartEd Live, meaning that you have to go to the site, download the ISO image, burn it on an USB stick, then boot it.

https://gparted.org/livecd.php

Download:

https://gparted.org/download.php


After the booting process finishes, you will be in front of the GPartEd window.
It will tell you about the drive's partitions, types, sizes and the rest.
It will also tell you the type of partition.
Select from the Menu View > Device information.
It can be either "MSDOS" or "GPT" (UEFI, Global Partitioning Table.)
If the drive is MSDOS partitioned, than you have to delete all, until all space says "Unpartitioned" or "Unallocated".
Now choose from the menu Device > Create partition. Choose the GPT type, then "Apply".
If you know how to go from here, than do it. Create and format the partitions, starting with the FAT32 boot partition and then the others.
If you are unfamiliar, then stop the computer, insert the boot drive (Linux Lite) and reinstall, with the default option.
Let the installer do the rest. Just follow the on-screen instructions.

Keep us updated.

Best regards, Șerban.

Installing Linux Lite / Re: BootDevice Not Found - acer aspire s7
« Last post by tsu02 on April 12, 2024, 04:45:40 PM »
Thanks for your answer Edimion
(i'm a beginner on Linux and my english is not perfect...)

So ! I checked the data integrity of my Linux ISO and it's all right, the same result of letters and numbers.

I had tried only with Rufus, i tried with Balena Etcher this time and no problem to create my bootable USB key.

I started my laptop where i want to install Linux with the key. However just before the screen where you can choose to boot live linux or direct install LL, i have an error message "file \boot not found". I tried to install LL 6.6 after a check for file corruption but after a reboot, same problem as before, "bootdevice not found". Not really a surprise...

Hi,

-You forget to mention if you checked the data integrity of that file (Linux Lite 6.6) before you created your Live USB
To check that it's not mention in the Tutorial of Linux Lite...
I think you can do this by putting your Linux live installation in your PC. But if I read well, you "said" you tried different ways, perhaps you have another computer where you live...

If you have another computer to try different options to install Linux Lite. If that's windows Balena Etcher is a reliable way to create that Live USB, NEVER try it with Rufus. Rufus is known to cause problems.
But to check the data integrity of what you downloaded is different than with Linux

with Windows
Press Windows+R to open the Run box
Type powershell and click OK
The Windows PowerShell window will open
Run the following command:
Get-FileHash C:\file\path\my_file.exe -Algorithm SHA256
+++Replace C:\file\path\my_file.exe  with the path where is your Linux ISO ,perhaps on D:\ ...

To check that on Linux
I know when someone made a "\" partition and a "home" different partition by default the terminal will open with the name you put that profile of Linux, with the UEFI automatic installation I think it's the same. So if you put a name : Computer_of_me that's where it'll open the terminal..

So your ISO (Linux OS) in linux environment must be in the Download folder. Just cut it and put it the main folder (the Computer_of_me) if you moved that ISO you just have to type in the terminal:
sha256sum linux-lite-6.6-64bit.iso
(then Enter)
Copy that result of letters, number, etc in a text editor and compare each one with this:
732b5561783c7203e3b919a4c55508a4256c13785b80e2e47019d817b89e9543
the official sha256 signature of data integrity in the main website of Linux Lite 6.6

-But it's possible all of your USB could be damaged at first but all of them it's not probably true
First try to check the data integrity of your ISO before copy them in your USB(if that was your problem at first) and then this community will try to help you with other issues.

Other / Weird issue with language by default to Perú
« Last post by Edimion on April 12, 2024, 09:36:47 AM »
I've installed and downloaded Linux Lite 6.6 a week ago

Firstlly I'll explain how I installed this OS twice. I'm not good with languages and I'm trying to learn English many years. So I chose English as the language that I'll watch any text with this OS. But I configured this keyboard in Spanish because that's my mother tongue. But I discovered something in my OS

Days ago, I decided to add Japanese as local to play some games good. I typed sudo nano /etc/locale.gen (in the Termianl) and I found that I had aguaruna as one of languages installed by default. In fact my keyboard is in Spanish, but that language doesn't exist in another part of my OS. I tried to installed Spanish and English like I did before with other Linux distros but finally I installed Aguaruna and English as my main languages.. Although I chose install Spanish and English.

Well, if some people don't know in Perú with have 47 different languages, 46 natives. I don't try to discriminate Aguaruna but I have more blood of quechuas than people of the jungle .Otherwise why not Linux Lite 6.6 install by default for peruvians in quechua or aymara?

Perú is considered a tropical country but we some so little people living in the jungle tha near to the ocean or in the Andes. Moreover for some natural phenomenas the places in Perú less than a half of the cities with more population are not tropical cities... :shrug

Installing Linux Lite / BootDevice Not Found - acer aspire s7
« Last post by tsu02 on April 12, 2024, 09:05:41 AM »
Hello

I'm trying to install linux lite on a 2012 Acer Aspire S7,

I followed the install tutorial : downloading ios, writting the iso on a usb stick, booting with usb stick, booting on live system then installing linux lite following the instruction

Linus will be the only operation system, so i installed using ''erase disk and install linux'' option.
After finishing the install, the only option is to restart the pc but it boots directly on my usb key.

When i restart it without they key, i have a black screen with the mention "BootDevice Not Found"

UEFI is enabled
secure boot is disabled

i tryed reinstalling linux lite with different options, i tryed to use another usb key, with/without internet etc

I can't really know if the issue is from the bios or the key or a bad installation ...

If anyone know a fix !
Thanks a lot for your help !

Network / Re: Config w/multiple Wifi adapters?
« Last post by Şerban S. on April 12, 2024, 08:05:41 AM »
[...] So my question is will Linux Lite run kernel v6.6?

Kernel practice

When I was on Linux Mint, I had some issues related to the memory footprint and some video related trouble so I went on this path of changing various kernels, hoping to find solutions.
What I found is that even if the "LTS" dedicated kernel is changed, the system works properly.
I went that far up to the point that I installed the latest kernel available (non-LTS) and never had any trouble. Still, for whatever reason, nothing seemed to solve my problems so I reverted to the standard kernel.
Now, taking in account that both Linux Lite and Linux Mint are considered very stable distros, I suggest you to do some tests and see what's happening.
The worst case scenario I think, would be to remain without updates.
Since I never tested on the long run a different kernel than the shipped one, which gets regular updates, it's difficult for me to say anything.
What is presumable still, is that if the system works and is stable, you will get updates, as they appear in the Repos.
But, as I said, I never tested such a kernel on the long run (say, a month or more).
My tests, revolved around using it in the range of a few days, a week at most.
Inside this time frame, it's difficult to jump to any stability conclusion.

In any case, if you want to tweak your system, I recommend you back up your partitions so that in case of failure, you will be covered.
I use CloneZilla and in such cases, if things go sideways, I just restore the previous state and it usually takes about 30 - 40 minutes (or less).
It largely depends on the amount of data contained in those partitions (/ and /home, mostly /home).
My backup usually revolves around 22 GB, 24 GB at most.
For this size, it takes some 30 minutes, for a SSD to SSD backup task.
For other cases, might take a longer time (SSD to HDD, or HDD to HDD).

Best regards, Șerban.

Installing Software / Re: Has anyone ever installed Waydroid on LL ?
« Last post by Şerban S. on April 12, 2024, 04:43:59 AM »
Hi!

Hi folks !

[...] "Waydroid" [...] there're 2 apps I can't really find an equivalent on Linux [...]

Can you provide more specific details on the Apps you are interested in?
Specifically, what functionality you think Linux Lite misses, and Android offers?
I have a tablet with Android and it's collecting dust since I never could find any use of it.
Privacy on Android, is just a myth.
All people here are on Linux exactly for this reason, among many others.
The idea of "Free Apps" on Android, is exactly this: an idea. The so called "free apps", are actually personal data mining tools, nothing more.
Most of them, provide personal data on at least two layers level of "third party" cookies. Usually, the chain of "third party" is way longer than that.

Another thing you are missing, is the level of resources available on a smartphone: 8 cores and at least 4GB of RAM.
Far more than that, you should read about VMs (Virtual Machines). What they are, what they do and mostly, HOW.
Waydroid, is nothing else than a Virtual Machine, running on a Linux host.
What it means is that machine resources, are split in three ways:
1. Linux itself;
2. Waydroid, which hosts a custom Android version;
3. Android (which is in fact the guest OS).
So, if you think you can run this on a low specs machine, you're on a wrong path.
The small size factor of a smartphone has nothing to do with its computing resources.
What I want to point out here is that All Android versions run on very powerful machines.
Unless you have an octacore CPU on your device, it is unlikely that this solution will work.
We're talking here about 2024 stuff (hardware and software).

So, in the end, what exactly do you want to do on Linux and it is impossible to do, without Android?
Name the outcome you desire and someone here, might offer you maybe more than one solution.

Best regards, Șerban!

So FWIW MX AHS w/ kernel v6.6 works with both my existing adapter and a cheap little $.50 free shipping one, (Device 10ec:8168) but the latter is a nano though still AC and does work. So my question is will Linux Lite run kernel v6.6?

Understand that using Waydroid might not provide the same experience as using the apps natively on an Android device. Some features, gestures, or functionalities may not work as expected.
