Start by booting to live desktop with live USB or DVD:



Connect another empty USB drive to your computer this drive will be erased and linux lite installed to this (now) empty drive.

Double click the install icon:



Select correct language and keyboard layout:





You can connect to wifi network now if you want but this is not needed for installing the OS:



Do NOT install any proprietary drivers they often break compability between multiple computers:



Select "Something else" for manually installing to USB and not to the internal hard drive:



Now the installer shows your internal hard disk drive partitions. Do NOT make any changes to them.

Select "Device for boot loader installation:"



Select your own USB drive:





Select your own USB drive from the upper list for me it's sdc:



Remove the fat32 partition from the targer USB drive, but make 100% sure it's your stick partition my partition is 15,6gb in size and my USB drive is 16gb so it must be the correct partition Remove it with the minus icon after selecting it from the list (sdc1):



Select the free space you just made and select the plus button to create your system partition:



Choose the size to your system partition it must be at least 9GB but I recommend to make it at least 12GB otherwise you instantly run out of space and the mount point must be "/":



Select the free space again under sdc or whatever it is on your computer:



Add a "swap area" it needs about 2GB but if you want to use hibernation make it bigger than your RAM and then you must install to at least 32GB USB drive:



I also made 1550MB partition to fill the unused space with windows compatible fat32 partition and it shouldn't have any mount points:



My final partitioning looks like this:



That is OK:



Continue when it asks it:



Select your time zone:



Make user:



Wait, it say when it's done:




Note: If your swap area is bigger than biggest RAM in your computers you can use hibernation even when your stick is not connected to your computer(s).
Note2: Suspend works too, but you must keep the USB drive connected to the computer.

If I download a zip (or rar) file and then double click it, the archive manager opens it and extracts it. Then it opens a window that says something like "Show the files" which I either have to accept or cancel. If I click okay, then I get this: "Linux Lite will now fetch the updates list. Click Cancel to exit now or Continue to proceed." If I click Continue, this is what happens: The Update Manager opens and it tries to update my software. So I either update my OS or I have to just close the Archive Manager. Why doesn't it do what it says it will, ie, open the folder with the unzipped files in it?

Hello all,

My husband is using linuxlite 2.2 and I know it needs to be upgraded. Is it OK to upgrade to 3? I usually prefer to do fresh installs but that would be quite inconvenient right now. What is the best way to upgrade? I have not done a major upgrade for years. Any suggestions and how to are welcome.

Thank you.

Hello,

I'm using an old Asus laptop with 3 GB RAM and 250GB hard disc and LL 3.8 installed. Been running for months without any real issue but hit a snag today.

I closed down properly last night but on booting up this morning, it opens up (immediately after the Asus logo) to BIOS. I can't see anything there which indicates a fault but each time I try to exit - whether by f10 or ESC - the laptop closes down. On booting up I'm instantly back to the BIOS screen. Just can't seem to get out of it. Any ideas/advice would be much appreciated.

Something new has happened. I clicked on the time to pull up the calendar and after finding what I needed it will not go away. There does not see to be an obvious way to get it off the home page pop-up.
What am I doing wrong?
It used to go away after a 2nd click.

I just followed this guide (http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014...-usb-drive/) but since following this guide, I repartitioned this drive because I now need this USB for something else. But now when I try to boot, my computer boots into the GRUB bootloader and not windows. How can I remove the bootloader and in case I decide to use Ubuntu again, how can I set windows boot manager to boot ahead of the GRUB bootloader?

Is there any way I can get a smaller UPGRADE,. or somehow increase the size of a file to keep it from running out of space when doing the UPGRADE? I can download 4.4 and install it on a SanDisk 16 or 32gb stick--it is the UPGRADE that causes me me problems. I have tried for 2 weeks to UPGRADE 4.4 and it gets part way thru the get sequence---- and gets an error "out of space or disk full error. I just formatted and reinstalled using rufus on a fat32 32gb USB stick, per the instructions and GParted shows the partition size of 29.81gb and 1.33gb used!---I tried a Menu/Install Upgrades and it failed--I got a number of "File has unexpected size" and then of course Hash errors--I've never seen those before--so I then used sudo apt autoremove and it reported "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 687 no upgraded",. I then did sudo apt upgrade, and it reported " the following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libcomer2:i386 libjavascriptcoegtk-1.0-0 + 4 other ones, Use sudo apt autoremove to remove them--- It continued with the upgrade until at line 756 when it got an error--unable to make backup link ----No space left on device and following that it says--dpkg-deb:error:paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken Pipe).

Maybe the problem is my W7 laptop--but I doubt it because I use the same usb port for other things and it has no problem---same with the SanDisk usb sticks.

If I could install smaller upgrades and have them just do portions of the whole upgrade perhaps I could get an install. Is there a way I delete portions of the Install AFTER the files it expects to download are loaded, but before the download (ie get) starts to execute. Then I could delete stuff I don't want or need---if it obvious of course.

It also appears autoremove does not delete enough space. Which directories contain the downloaded, uninstalled files that I can delete and restore some free space, on what appears to be a very small limited filespace?

Thanks for any help, Ron

edited to clarify--it is the UPGRADE that fails, not the initial install onto a USB stick.

Whenever the mouse pointer hovers over a text field in a web browser or any local installed program (text editor) - when I hit the middle mouse button, it does a text paste from clipboard.

Can this behaviour be disabled somehow?

I have looking through Mouse and Touchpad settings, but cannot find any relevant options for this.


Thanks in advance
