Out of all of the feedback I receive, a large portion of it regards how busy it looks and how it can be hard to find things.

Hopefully, this is all now resolved. Still a few bits and pieces to tidy up but overall I'm happy with the result.

Let me now what you think.

  Intel HD Graphics Not Working on Linux Lite 7.4 — Using llvmpipe Instead of i915
Posted by: Abhi_245 - 08-07-2025, 06:40 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (10)

I'm having trouble getting proper Intel graphics support on Linux Lite 7.4. My system uses an Intel Atom/Celeron/Pentium x5-E8000 (Braswell) CPU with integrated graphics.

System Info:
Distro: Linux Lite 7.4 
Kernel:  6.8.0-71-generic
GPU: Intel HD Graphics (Braswell family)
Current renderer : llvmpipe ( LLVM 19.1.1, 128 bits)
Without setting boot parameter to nomodeset I can't even get into the system.

  installing 5.8 Lunix lite stops...
Posted by: Ren - 08-01-2025, 03:34 PM - Forum: Installing Software - No Replies

Well,
I do have a rather a big problem about my programming...
Well I use Pelles 'C to program in C using Linux Lite since
a long time (it started with lite 3.8)... and so going away
from Windows as Pelles' C is a windows program... 
It when well for years and years... but last week I had
to reinstall my computer and the 5.8 I did used the last
years (and was doing it's job very well) had to be renewed
again as the rest of my software... starting the 5.8 lite again
was a disaster as it does install anymore... it stops somewhere
in the second half of the install... ok... then going to lite 6.6...
why not ??? But 6.6 doesn't work with wine anymore... ok 
one can run a program but in a very bad way... Q4wine
doesn't work... the wine program screen shows no wine
programs and whatever... 6.6 isn't Ubuntu anymore but 
some strange other program that makes it impossible
to turn into the normal programming system... did try
a lot of programs for the last two weeks while 5.8 did
install wine in a few seconds... sad... sad... I have to go
to windows again... I left it 15 years ago... Well...  Sad Huh

  VERY ODD install Issue
Posted by: Azoic - 08-01-2025, 05:34 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - No Replies

I looked through the previous posts and couldn't find anything similar to my issue. I hope someone can help.
I am currently switching my daily driver from Windows due to not having a Windows 11 capable PC and have been unable to decide which distro I like best. 
I am solely trying debian for now, as I have been playing with it on and off for years. I feel comfortable with it at the moment.

I have tried MOST debian distros and like some more than others, but seem to always come back to xubuntu. I had forgotten about lite completely.
However, when I try to install it on my PC, it just will not install. My PC has been xubuntu, sparky, mint, mx, peppermint and few others over the last few weeks and NONE of these have had any issues like I am getting with lite. My ISO of lite runs perfectly on my xubuntu in a VM, and it loads and runs fine on three other PC's I have tried. I know my hardware and the ISO are OK.
The  installer for lite runs OK, it shows the spinning circle as it loads in the background, and then I get a blank greyish screen and nothing further. It simply will not load the desktop as viewable. I have tried the ISO via Ventoy, as I have done with all the others that all install and run fine, and I have tried it burned to a USB on it's own. BOTH have the same result, it appears to be installing, then no display comes up. I am running an RTX 3060 12Gb video card and dual monitors via display port to HDMI output, but this is the only debian distro that has this issue, all the rest work as they should. During the time the installer is viewable, the spinning wheel is on BOTH monitors and at the correct resolution, so whatever display driver it's using works up to this point at least. I have waited for it to load something for as long as 20 minutes and no screen has ever come up. I am at a TOTAL loss now.
Does ANYONE have any idea what could be going wrong ?? If I try the installer version so it displays the install as it runs, the ONLY error it gets is the network, which has nothing to do with the display.  The ISO I'm using is v7.2. PLEASE HELP...this is very curious

And a side note for the devs, the 7.6 RC1 ISO doesn't work either, it only throws an error message asking for a missing kernel and doesn't get past the first boot screen, with ANY of the installer options. But it works FINE in a VM.....

I spent several hours - rolled into days trying to sort out the updates; including reinstalling Linux Lite several times, and till no luck with the updates installing.

Another thing I've noticed; whenever I tried the reboot (after I'm instructed to remove the USB drive), press enter key, I get an error, whereby the years keeps scrolling and won't stop until I press the power/off button on the laptop keyboard.

It's a Dell Latitude E-6220 laptop.

  Linux Lite 7.6 RC1 Released
Posted by: Valtam - 07-31-2025, 10:54 AM - Forum: Release Announcements - Replies (5)

Release Announcement

Linux Lite 7.6 RC1 is now available for testing.

See below for more details.

Linux Lite 7.6 Final will be released on 1st September, 2025.

[Image: ynIy0Xy.png]


Changes:

Minor release

Linux Lite 7.6 is considered to be a minor release as it only contains, LTS updates, bug fixes, code and GUI changes.

These include:

- Lite Welcome
- Lite Upgrade
- Lite Themes
- Newer LibreOffice (25.2.5), as well as the usual compliment of updated default applications.

Window Theme: Materia
Icon Theme: Papirus
Font: Roboto Regular

How do I know if my Windows PC has UEFI?

In Windows Search, type msinfo or msinfo32 and launch the desktop app named System Information. Look for the BIOS Mode item, and if the value for it is UEFI, then you have the UEFI firmware. If it says BIOS Mode Legacy, then that’s the firmware you’re running.

Secure Boot is supported, but unless you know exactly how to handle it, it is a P.I.T.A. at best so I am going to say...you must disable Secure Boot to enable stress free computing.

Some helpful snippets from the latest Help Manual:

Live USB/DVD/VirtualBox/Vmware:

Login is automatic, no credentials are required. The image can be written to a 4gb or larger USB stick, or a writable DVD. Alternatively, you can use the dd command: sudo dd if=linux-lite-7.6-rc1-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M where 'x' is the letter of your usb stick. In linux to find out the letter of your usb stick, open a terminal and type: df -h It is usually listed as 'media' or similar. Please see the built in Help Manual if you require a more detailed explanation of this procedure.

A good, simple point and click USB ISO burner is https://www.balena.io/etcher/ or https://rufus.ie/
In our testing, Etcher and Rufus (for Windows only) have proven to be the most reliable. Etcher is available for Mac, Windows & Linux.

If the screen locks during Live mode, type linux into the user box and click on the Login button (no password required)

Recommended Computer Requirements:

1.5 Ghz Dual Core Processor or greater
4GB ram
40GB HDD/SSD/NVME
VGA, DVI, DP or HDMI screen capable of 1366x768 resolution
DVD drive or USB port for the ISO image
Disable Secure Boot

Login to the live desktop is automatic.

The first thing you MUST do after a fresh install of Linux Lite is run Menu, Favorites, Install Updates.

As this is a RC release, there are bound to be bugs etc. Please help make the final stable for other people by participating in this RC. Please report any bugs and feedback in this thread.


Thank you

Jerry and the team.

  Checksum not correct ( MD5 and SHA256)
Posted by: Luc - 07-22-2025, 10:31 AM - Forum: Updates - Replies (1)

I was going to upgrade from Lite 6.6 to 7.4. When checking the MD5 or SHA56 checksum, I found that they did not match the contents of the file. Are these iso files corrupt or is there something wrong? Tested on different servers in different countries. Also tested with the checker on the Linux Lite page but also from the command line in Linux. Both tests gave identical keys but not matching what it should be


Solved: the problem was with me. Sorry for the inconvenience
