After some difficulty today with 2 different new machines, managed to get a DVD to boot up to run installation routine but, although I can see the Windows 10 partition in the Drives (under Trash), the installation script does not see another OS. The options given are a complete disk overwrite or 'Other' which involves complex partition managing given there are seemingly about 6 partitions already and am unfamiliar with the command structure on the installation disk partition manager. I find the long paragraph in the Help Manual about this insufficient to understand what am getting into.


Probably, will have to take this laptop back as well.


In any case, fwliw, I wanted to record this difficulty. The model is an HP EliteBook 2540p. Maybe it's just me, but it seems to be getting more difficult to install Linux OS on newer computers (unless you just scrub the drive, which I might just decide to do since haven't used Windows in many years now...)

I just bought a new laptop (HP Elite) and have had NO luck, after 3 hours, of creating a bootable USB, which have never done before (this one has no DVD drive, first time for me). I cannot understand AT ALL your instructions in the Help Menu, nor other pages googled. After 3 hours have made zero progress. Have been computing since early 1980's. The problem is that not one page, including your manual, takes the time to explain what you are trying to do and why. Just extremely brief, minimalist instructions. If you read your Help Guide with a 'fresh beginner mind' you will see that the language is almost meaningless. I am sure I am not the only person who is doing it for the first time and could use more simple, step by step instructions. Anyway, I love teh distro and if cannot make the USB bootup happen will simply get a different laptop rather than have to go through this every time.

Hi guys,
I installed LL yesterday; I am using Mint on other pcs and have not encountered the following problem before.
This is the only issue I am having with the install. All else works well.

The system clock will not maintain the correct time.
Post install, it read Feb 2016 and was hours behind as well.
I have thus far tried:
sync to local server (nothing changes, wrong date/time stays displayed)
resetting manually via gui (corrects for the session but reverts to wrong time after reboot. However time is now only apx 30min behind and date is correct)
switching from UTC to local time via command line (same result as above)
reset clock in BIOS (date stays correct but time back to being hours behind))

This is on a custom built desktop not a laptop, runs like a dream and ran Mint 18.1 without issue so I cannot attribute the issue to hw.

I looked for the problem and found several references to this happening with dual boot setups; LL is currently the only OS on that machine.

Sound familiar to anyone?

I tried playing with the iconic feather graphic, but got frustrated that it could not be isolated from its black background. The feather as it's used on the default wallpaper has a black halo, and it bugs me.

Since I'm a fan of the clean, minimal, flat look of material design, I created this new feather logo. I think it's more consistent with design aesthetic going forward. And I had in mind that the bent feather could imply the letter "L." So here are some ideas.

dark, gold feather, with text


light, blue feather, with text


gold feather with text and a subtle texture


blue feather alone, with texture


rotational symmetry, with subtle stripes


I built the feather in Inkscape, and compiled the wallpaper in GIMP. Obviously, many other variations are possible -- let me know if you're interested in seeing a particular twist on it.

Can a Login & Logout option for just Restart and Shut Down be made an option? No Log Out? I removed "Save session for future logins" but don't remember how.  ;D

What does it do? Do I need to use it on this newer computer?

hello, how can I install in 8Gb USB in persistent mode from Windows 8.1 64bit?

Running Lite 3.2 and have been checking "Lite Upgrade" application to see if 3.4 is available which I know is out there.  "Lite Upgrade" keeps telling me "You are already running the latest release." 

Do I need to wait a few more days or upgrade by some other means?  I am absolutely in no rush because 3.2 is working just fine - it ain't broke.  I might skip upgrading to 3.4

Thanks

[member=6629]ralphy[/member] have noticed a strange anomaly. If the file /usr/local/sbin/.updnotify exists, Lite Updates Notify will not show the desktop notification. If the /usr/local/sbin/.updnotify file does not exist, the notification works fine:

Hello to all,  I am trying to setup a shared network connection between windows and linux where my HP Deskjet F4480 All in One Printer scanner copier in direct usb connected to a Linux Lite 3.4 32 bit System PC  and I am currently trying to get printer to communicate from windows to linux 32 bit and so far To no avail however the printer on the windows side plus the linux side to my knowledge is successfully connected and etc... So Any and all suggestions would be most helpful because at this point I am currently clueless as to what to do next to troubleshoot the problem at hand..  Also Just so you know as well I have tried on the windows side as microsoft has suggested that I do which is to uninstall my windows drivers regarding my printer and then reinstall them after restarting my computer and it still has not been communicating from the windows client side on Windows 10 x64 Home Edition version 1607 with all Windows updates to this point!  Thank in advance for all the support!.......
