I also tried and apt update/upgrade and get this.

Reboot to a cli (see Help Manual) then just do:

                 
Code: [Select]
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

Just did a fresh install on my Alienware 13 R3, Intel 7300HQ, Nvidia 1050ti

Right after you type in your account password and log in it never makes it to the desktop.

The graphics get all strange, then it shuts down.

LL 4.8 worked great.  I have noticed other newer linux flavors doing this too and it all seems to come from the defaulted open source graphics drivers.

Hope this helps.

Maybe I'm missing something, but you are trying to run a 64 bit OS on 32 bit pc.
As detailed in the 4.2 UEFI related post I linked, this laptop is 64bit but afflicted with 32bit UEFI firmware (can't call it a BIOS because it isn't - no Legacy/CSM support!).  I had to add 32bit UEFI bootloader support to the 4.2 UEFI ISO and I ran the laptop with 4.x (updated through the series to 4.8 ) for approaching 18 months; the 5.0RC1 ISO includes the 32bit UEFI bootloader but something else is going wrong at the last step in the install :(.

I've gone back and installed from my 32bit UEFI enabled 4.2 image using exactly the above process and that worked fine.

@WytWun  Maybe I'm missing something, but you are trying to run a 64 bit OS on 32 bit pc.

Linux Lite 5 RC is 64 bit only and I believe Linux Lite 4.x was 64 bit as well.
The last 32 bit version was Linux Lite 3.8

I attempted to install this RC on my 32bit UEFI Lenovo 100S which has been problematic with previous versions.
I've done some more testing with this obstreperous device so an update...

Balena Etcher (v1.5.81 portable on Windows 7) failed to produce a bootable USB stick from the ISO :-(.  Showed "ubuntu" twice in the F12 boot menu but both items booted the existing 4.8 install.
Using Rufus' "image copy" (i.e. dd equivalent) mode to flash the ISO produced identical results: same F12 boot menu behaviour as the Etcher flashed USB stick.  I've got a couple of other ideas to test to try and figure out what it isn't liking...

Rufus (v3.10 portable on Windows 7, default options) produced a USB drive that showed up as something like "USB UEFI Mass Storage" (didn't write down the exact text) in the F12 boot menu, which when selected booted up to the live environment from the USB drive (so the 32bit UEFI worked! Yay!).  Started installation and that went all the way through until a failure to grub-update the internal eMMC drive was reported.  I had selected to manually manage partitions so as not to disturb the existing partitioning arrangement (the ext4 & swap partitions were set for reformatting however reformatting the UEFI System partition was not offered as an option) so this may have contributed to the failure.
I've gone back and installed from my 32bit UEFI enabled 4.2 image using exactly the above process and that worked fine.  The 4.2 image was flashed with Rufus using default options (i.e. MBR partitioned file copy mode) as it was for the original 4.2 install.  I then attempted to install the 5.0RC1 image (also flashed to USB with Rufus' defaults) replicating exactly the same install steps and that fails as reported above.  I can only conclude that there is some difference in the installation process involving the final GRUB installation phase between the 4.2 image and the 5.0RC1 image.

I'm wondering whether it is trying to configure GRUB in Legacy/CSM mode rather than UEFI - i.e. the installer hasn't properly registered that this is a UEFI install - but failing because the drive is GPT partitioned??  The partitioning process seemed to recognise the ESP though and offers to use it, and there was nothing different in the observed behaviour of the 4.2 install vs the 5.0RC1 install that might support that hypothesis :(.

I'll do some more testing as I get the chance to try and figure out why this is going astray, because this failure is right at the last hurdle before rebooting into the installed system - so it's pretty close to being successful...

Heya!

Could it be that the screen brightness goes to almost zero because you are on the battery and/or maybe have a defective charge port ?
Or, the power saving feature is set to a very short delay...

Edit: Clarified wording and remove useless blah blah. Sorry for my english. ;)
