Hi, I have installed Linux Lite from a USB stick onto my daughter's Samsung RC530 laptop which had been running Windows 7 home edition, but which had run into boot I/O problems which I could not overcome despite extensive attempts. The Linux installation was done with Linux as the sole OS and as part of the process Partitions 2 & 3 of the hard drive were reformatted. I am encountering a message in the bios when I try and boot which states: "Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device or Insert Boot media in selected boot device and press a key". Not sure what changes I have to make to get the computer to boot from Linux Lite on the hard drive and so I have been using the usb with Linux Lite for booting and been trying to load install updates. Below is the log I received and was requested to submit to you.

Any help you are able to give to sort my problems would be appreciated. Windows had originally recorded the DVD/CD Rom Drive as DVDWBD TS-LB23A but presently just known as cd drive.

I have never infected my wife's work windows gear with malware.

Also. I am the best anti-virus by my computer usage and browsing habits. The space between my shoulders handle that job quite nicely.

1. Open Chrome
   
2. See a screen full of attached pop-ups:
   
   
3. Imagine there is only that white space between each pop-up.
   
4. To get rid of the notifications, I click anywhere other than the two included buttons.
   
5. The two buttons are [Activate] and [Settings]. Whereas the link (shown in the second attachment) is [stabledstreaming.com].
   
6. Turning off or restarting and then opening Chrome resumes the broad cycle.
   

1. If I leave the Chrome window active, for 2.5 to 3 minutes, then the pop-up reappears.
   
2. If it is inactive, for 2.5 to 3 minutes, then the pop-up still reappears.
   
3. At your request, I will test whether they reappear

1.      
2. if I don't open Chrome upon rebooting Linux Lite
        
3. if I have closed Chrome using the [ x ], [alt + F4], or killed it with Task Manager
        

Bonjour,
Est-ce qu'il faut faire une installation complète avec une nouvelle iso ou est-ce que la mise à jour se fait de manière "classique" ?
Je me demande si je peux instalelr Linux Lite sur les ordinateurs de connaissances sans avoir à fournir un support important lors de mises à jour importantes comme le changement de base LTS d'Ubuntu.

Merci d'avance pour votre réponse.

Sorry if posting in the wrong spot.  Received some updates Wed and now I cannot get into my system.  Even an older package does not work as well as a recovery one which goes on forever.  Typing in help brings up a long line of cryptic to mestuff that I cannot copy to post.  Using LLOS 4.8???  I have an old backup, but not sure how to get to it and it would be way to old anyway.  I will run Gparted and find out the drive.  I have  a system and a user partition.  If I need to reinstall, will my user partition remain usable?  This happened once before from an update, but I was able to use an older package , but not this time.  thanks for any help

Hello!

I have one doubt that I want to ask.

The update of Linux Lite 6.6 for Linux Lite 6.7 can be made using one updater inside the Operating System Linux 6.6? The same ask for Linux 7.x?

I don't have many resources to buy some USB Flash Drives and thanks to this distribution I give another life for the PC of my mother!

Thank you very much for reading and if is possible an answer!

Regards!

Hello guys, how are you?

I only want to inform you that my Linux Lite 6.6 is very slow when booting. Compared with Windows 10, the time that I must wait is more or less double the time compared with Windows 10.

But the apps are quicker in Linux Lite 6.6 than in Windows 10! In Windows 10 it was really very slow or 10x of time!

I only want to give my feedback about this situation with the Secure Boot and know if this is happening with anyone here!

This Linux Lite 6.6 is used every day by my mother and is now adapted to Linux Lite 6.6 because Windows 10 was very slow, taking 15 minutes to open the browser Google Chrome.

In conclusion, I'm very satisfied with this Linux Lite 6.6 and my mother too!

Congratulations to the people who do this distribution!

Thank you very much!

Best Regards!

I had a blank password so I wouldn't see any message when I opened the browser. Now I see one after every boot. It doesn't matter that I leave it blank.
