Scenario:
My usb TV adapter worked ok with LL2.4 but now I have tried to install on LL2.6 it no longer works.
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices shows version 2 to be a longer stick than version 1, but mine is a small square stick and is version 2. The id (048d:9135) is the same and the marking is MINI DVB T. Command dmesg shows that the adapter is identified and is in warm state, lsusb identifies it as Zorin it9135 version 2. Firmware dvb-usb-it9135-01.fw and dvb-usb-it9135-02.fw exist in /lib/firmware. But it does not work with any of the popular TV apps. (BTW the adapter does work with windoze so is not faulty). I have searched the net and tried all suggestions, to no avail.

Later:
I had kept copies of the firmware version (dvb-usb-it9135-02.fw) from when the adapter last worked. Comparison of the file sizes showed a difference between the earlier and currently installed files, so I deleted the version which came with LL2.6 and replaced with the version which I last knew worked. Eureka - the dvb-t adapter now works. Note that its it9135-02, NOT it9135-01 as suggested at linuxtv.org

Anyone else having trouble with the Zorin MINI DVB-T may find this useful.

I'd like a few volunteers to test some of the UEFI builds I've been working on.  If you have a UEFI computer and would like to help test this ISO, please reply to this thread and let me know. This cannot be tested on VirtualBox, it must be installed to actual hardware.

I've added a license file to go with this - https://mityer.khdlhfjijfrupr.tk/files/EFI-LICENSE.txt You'll have to agree with this first, thank you.

During this test please report the following:

- Is Secure Boot and or UEFI enabled on your computer
- What install options you choose (check boxes on the installer etc)
- Whether this is a dual, multiple or single boot
- Any errors that occur during the install: please keep an eye on the installer, see where it crashes
- Screenshot any crashes or error messages

Anyone wanting to use as is where is test builds of Linux Lite with UEFI support can get them here - http://repo.linuxliteos.com/uefitests/

Notes:

- Some Grub menu items are missing/not working
- You should be able to upgrade from within a Series once this is installed
- You will need an internet connection to install this
- ISO is larger than 1.1Gb so it may not work on all BIOS's
- Lite Widget not showing Updates Status
- Please check the rest of this thread before asking any questions

This is no indication that LL will start producing Linux Lite with UEFI support, this is simply an experimental project and perhaps the only chance to get a Linux Lite stable UEFI build.



Thank you in advance, Jerry

I have noticed recently that if I view the forum while not signed in, some of the topics with "best answers" marked have a spot to click "Undo Best Answer", and some with no best answer have the link to mark one.  Just thought I would pass it along.

I am using chrome with these extensions,  flashcontrol, Avast online security, Zen mate, and google translate.

Hope that helps narrow it down.

Hello,
I came from France and I tested this distribution. I loved it.
I used Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Archlinux, LinuxMint, LMDE, Debian, Fedora, Manjaro, Mageia, OpenSUSE and a lots of distro but I'm using LinuxLight now.
I want to help to translate all Lite tools in french. Is it possible ?
Thanks

Hi-I am new to Linux and am trying to install LL 2.6. it keeps failing due to the PAE option not set.
Is there a way to edit the boot up to forcepae? I was able to do that to install Lubuntu but I don't see how to do that here.  Any info about this? Thanks

After downloading a file I go to the downloaded drop-down list and if I try to execute the file or even try to open the folder it is located in I get the Linux Lite update dialog box and then if I proceed I get a dialog box that requires my password.

After entering the password it proceeds to check for updates and later tells me I am up to date. Then exits.

Anyone? Anyone?

Hi everyone,

First of all, a big thank to Linux Lite creator & its team members. 
I am running Linux Lite 2.6 on my Dell Inspiron N4050 and being happy with it.  ;D
However I need to use Windows for some stuff. I know that most of the stuff can find and work on Linux, but it's not all.
So I want to reinstall Windows on my machine.
The point is I decided to install Linux Lite 2.6 on my entire HDD (500GB). I separated my hard drive like that: /root (80GB), /home (400BG), and /swap (2GB) (there is only 3 partitions and amount numbers of GB on each partition is not accurate, just relevant numbers).
And now I am going to install Windows 10 and having a dual boot to pick up which OS to boot up when I want to run Linux Lite or Windows 10.  :
Can you guys guide me best ways to do it without losing any existing data at /home?
Re-seizing partitions by GParted takes long to complete - it was a painful experience. !_!
I think that I need a way fast & secured!  :-[

Thanks.

I installed Linux Lite 2.4 (32-bit) in VirtualBox 5. I'm currently using Linux Lite 1.0.6 as the host.

Installed VBOX additions. Upgraded to Linux Lite 2.6. Installed all my software.

As I've come to expect now from Linux Lite, everything worked first time.

However, I have one small problem - the font is a bit weird. In terminal, Geany, MySQL Workbench etc the font is hard to read. I manually set the font the same as I have in my host and they look very different. Individual letters are hard to distinguish and vertical lines in fonts are very faint. I've tried using different fonts, but not found one that's really useable.

I compared my VirtualBox settings to the tutorial on this forum and they are the same.

It's not my VirtualBox installation as Kubuntu and OpenSUSE don't have this problem, but I want to stick with Linux Lite if possible.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions?
