| Installation of LInux Lite 3.8 stalls midway through Preparing to install Linux |

Hi,
I'm new to Linux so hope I'm in the right place for advice.
I have an old - circa 2002 - Dell Optiplex GX50 with Windows XP Professional which I'm trying to load Linux Lite 3.8 on to.
I've managed to boot into the downloaded ISO and moving forward with the install.
I get to the desktop and click through on the Install Linux Lite icon
I now progress as far as the Install screen,
* Choose my language - Ccntinue to the next screen where I'm
* Offered options to download updates whilst installing Linux and also to install third party software - * I leave both blank and click Continue
Now the problem emerges - a progress wheel appears and appears to show activity but nothing happens - I've let the install programme continue running overnight but no success - the wheel keeps turning but goes nowhere.
This is now the third time my progress has halted at this stage.
I would welcome any and all advice, guidance and helpful hints.
Pat

| LL 4.4 on Alienware 13 R2 and some things not working correctly |

I have a Alienware 13 R2 w/OLED screen, i7 6500u, 16GB DDR3, Intel HD 520, NVidia GTX 965M, Killer E2400 NIC, Killer 1535 Wifi/BT, and 2x M.2 NVME drives
It is running LL 4.4
The issues I have are the screen brightness I can't turn down.
The touchpad gets really strange as it jumps and freezes.
The battery time lasts under 2hrs but while in windows lasts almost 6-7hrs.
Attached system report.

Hopefully, Linux Lite 4.4 will save another aging pc laptop. Downloaded 4.4 yesterday and tested from a usb stick, and I really love what I saw ... except my keyboard was acting up. (See post under "Bugs")
If there is a solution (already found one suggestion), I will avoid having to contribute more money to Microsoft or those extremely over-priced Apples. Hail, Eris!

| Keyboard error requiring Fn key during test run |

Downloaded Linux Lite 4.4 and ran test to make sure my old Acer Aspire 1 laptop/notebook could handle the os. Looks great, but when I tried typing, I found that half the keyboard spits numbers instead of letters. I determined I could get letters by pressing Fn key before the problem keys, but I want to find out if this bug is fixable before I install on my pc.
My notebook is 64 bit with 1 GB memory and Intel Atom CPU N570 @1.66 GHz x 2. Unfortunately, the bios have never been updated, since Windows 7 never helped me do so, and now all I have is Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.3.
This may not truly be a "bug", then, but a failure on the part of a tired old Acer. If so, I may have to resort to buying a new laptop. :-[

| Trouble installing Linux Lite on Dell Dimension 9200 |

Hello all
I am trying to revive an old Dell Dimension 9200 desktop running Windows XP and install Linux Lite.
Specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4
2 gb RAM
256 ATI Radeon X1300 graphics card
2 320gb SATA drives
BIOS revision 2.5.3
After startup, F12 gets me to the USB boot option, after which I can get to Linux Lite Welcome screen. This is where things go awry.
Start Linux Lite:
blank screen with cursor flashing in upper left corner
Start Linux Lite in safe mode:
runs to "[1.668506] e1000e 0000:00:19.0 Interrupt Throttling Rate (ints/sec) set to dynamic conservative mode"
ends at flashing cursor
Install Linux Lite now:
nothing; screen reverts to "No VGA cable"
Any suggestions?

| [SOLVED]cronjob for clamav |

Hi,
I'm trying to create a cron job for clamav to do a scan of the home directory once a week. I made this script in /etc/cron.weekly/ :
Code: #!/bin/sh
clamscan -r /home/osamu/ | grep FOUND >> /home/osamu/virus-scan-reports/virus-scan-report.txt
Code: # m h dom mon dow user command
17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
47 6 * * 7 root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly )
52 6 1 * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )
#
Am I missing a step? Is there a better way to achieve automatic weekly scans?
**edit:
I deleted the script in /etc/cron.weekly and instead added this cronjob to /etc/crontab
Code: 0 18 * * SUN root rm -rf /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
1 18 * * SUN root freshclam
2 18 * * SUN root clamscan -r -i / | grep FOUND >> /home/osamu/virus-scan-reports/virus-scan-report.txt
This should update the malware database and scan the entire system every sunday at 6pm and write it to a text file I hope. Have I done this correctly and is there a way to dynamically append the current date to the name of the virus-scan text file?

I've tried to add my apps over on the left with the standard apps, as I can do in nearly every other distro I've used. They add to the far right, next to the clock. I can't move them. How do I fix this? I tried to attach a screenshot, but it's 1.7 Mb and the system has a 500 kb limit. This is on a Lenovo T430 laptop running Linux Lite 4.4.
