Hi there
First time installer here. I'm running Windows on an MBR disk. I have made space for a Linux partition.
I've looked in vain to find how to boot the installer in legacy/BIOS mode.
Booting the 8.0 ISO from a thumb drive.
Thanks.]]> (06-06-2026, 06:06 AM)valtam Wrote:  "Boot the installer in Legacy/BIOS mode to install to an MBR disk."

Manual partitioning module of the installer has severe bugs.
It lacks the option to install on /dev/sda1. It shows only /dev/sda.
I need this (manual partitioning) because of the data I have on other partitions I have on the SSD.
If there is /dev/sda1, it ignores the partition, then shows an error window that says that LL requires an EFI partition and sends to the previous step. Which is a dead end.
I used also GPartED to flag the /dev/sda1, but got the same result. The boot partition is (still) invisible to the installer.
I find weird the fact that somehow, in /dev/sda1/ the description says flagged with "boot" so how comes that it ignores it and throws the EFI missing error?!
I suppose that for whatever reason, the combobox that was supposed to have the option to boot from a FAT32 partition (/dev/sda1/) instead of /dev/sda (MBR mode), couldn't be updated accordingly to the partitioning.

There are also errors in getting the time zone (it defaults to USA instead of Europe/Bucharest) but this is kinda minor thing.
It is weird though, since the connection is visible and valid.

As for the previous posts regarding the updates, the updater showed some 150 updates available or so.
Another glitch is that the "Welcome" screen that shows the "Install Now" button, lacks the command behind the button. That is, it does nothing when clicked.
I'll get back if any idea comes in (Upgrade maybe? I still want a clean full install though...).

Booted and attempted to install to the elderly notebook which we eventually got working with RC.  With this release version, calamares reports having problems creating partitioning.  Still using the good disk - though I will recheck it.

After two install failures, I tried to follow what was going on and it seems that as calamares creates the partitions, the system mounts them.  If I followed the RC testing correctly, this is along the same lines as the problem with early RC.  On the third attempt to install, I tried to note the timings of events to make the calamares log clearer.  I've saved the log, but unfortunately the forum is telling me I can't attach the type of file.

I can see the session log states that automount is disabled, but a Thunar window spontaneously opens and shows /run/media/linux/rootfs.  At about the same time the installer errors out.

when I try to boot Linux Lite from USB, the process gets stuck at GRUB, showing “GRUB loading” “Welcome to GRUB” and a blinking cursor. 

Here is some more information:
- USB: tried with 2 types: 16 GB USB 3.0 or 64 GB USB 3.2
- Linux Lite Version: tried with 7.8, 7.6 and 6.6 versions, sha256 sum always verified ok
- USB ISO burner: tried with Rufus 4.12 and 4.11 (trying ISO and DD image), Etcher 2.1.4 and Ventoy 1.1.10 on Windows 11
- PC: tried on two old notebooks:
  - HP Pavillon dv6-6b07ez: 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5-2430M, 8 GB DDR3 Memory, AMD Radeon HD 6490M video graphics, Intel 6 Series/C200 Chipset, BIOS Insyde Version F.1C, no UEFI, no Secure Boot
  - Compaq Presario CQ61: 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 T6500, 4 GB Memory, Mobile Intel 4 Series Chipset Family, Default System BIOS, no UEFI, no Secure Boot.

BTW: On the HP Pavillon I could boot and install Linux Mint 22.2 Xfce without problems. So, I’m really wondering why GRUB doesn’t work in the Linux Lite distro?

Thank you very much in advance for any hint!
Best regards.

I’m trying to repurpose an old Intel Atom based laptop, it needs to run a browser and low volume stream to Twitch.   I first chose Bionic Puppy32 19.03 from an usb stick and it works OK but the browser is funky and I can’t get flatpak to install so I moved on to Linux Lite 7.6.  

Booting from an LL USB stick I get one of 2 outcomes (and I can’t figure out the pattern):

90% of the time booting live, direct install or in compatibility mode I get an feather desktop with no control over my mouse (either from the onboard touch pad or a Logitech usb cordless).  The mouse pointer is in the centre of the screen so I assume that’s indicating the system thinks I have a pointer?   Compatibility mode shows the Logitech driver loading fine but an error with the Bluetooth drivers.

10% (or less) the install ends at a screen asks me for a username/pwd, tried root/admin and other randomness, no joy.  But the mouse works!?!  (Screen shot below)

I’ve tried Blue Star and I get as far as the splash screen and then hangs, I’m assuming I’m out of resources.   Fossapup64 9.6 hangs at nearly the 1st hurdle (initrd.gz).


Fool’s errand?

my PC is a Lenovo-H520e, offering me 4 GB of RAM.

I´ve been happily using Linux Lite 6.2 on it for quite a while and I´m very satisfied with it.
Seems I will be able to use this version until April 2027. After that point in time there won´t be any security updates any longer and I will need to do a fresh install.

Now I found out the following:

Until (and including) 7.0 it says:

Code:
Minimum Recommended Specs:  768mb ram Preferred Specs:   1024mb ram+         

That was pretty good. Good enough for me. But the specs suddently changed dramatically.
From 7.2 onwards it says:

Code:
Minimum Recommended Specs:  2GB ram Preferred Specs:         4GB ram+   

Why that drastic change?  Cry

For 7.6 "Minimum Specs" were dropped entirely. Just " Recommended Computer Specs: 4GB RAM"

Until now I can run waterfox browser, sylpheed, thunar and even a virtual machine (1 GB of virtual RAM assigned to it) at the same time without any hiccups.
Meaning the rest of my system getting along just fine with 3 GB of physical RAM during runtime of the VM.

Seems I won´t be able to do things like that anymore with the latest version of Linux Lite.

Such a shame.
