VERY ODD install Issue |

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.....

Release Announcement
Linux Lite 7.6 RC1 is now available for testing.
See below for more details.

![[Image: ynIy0Xy.png]](https://i.imgur.com/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.

Window Theme: Materia

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:

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)

Thank you
Jerry and the team.

Checksum not correct ( MD5 and SHA256) |

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
