+--- Thread: Linux Lite 5.0 RC1 Released (/showthread.php?tid=6935)
Re: Linux Lite 5.0 RC1 Released - minesheep - 05-15-2020
Bugs
Cant install virtualbox via lite software or with apt. Audacity installed successfully with apt. I now use gnome-boxes temporarily. audio volume is also a lot harder to control, thanks to limited length pulseaudio. Opening encrypted volumes via gui is broken but manually using cryptsetup commands work.
Luks error (when trying to open volume with gui)
Code:
[b]Failed to mount "size Encrypted"[/b] Error unlocking /dev/sdx: The function 'bd_crypto_luks_open_blob' called, but not implemented!Re: Linux Lite 5.0 RC1 Released - icedigger - 05-15-2020
If it means anything for both 4.8 and 5.0rc with the alienware doesn't fully boot with the open source nvidia driver.
For 4.8 it boots every 3 or 4 times.
Switching it to the nvidia driver fixes it without issues.
For 5.0rc it does not at all.
It is an alienware 13 r3 laptop w/7300hq cpu, intel 630 + nvidia 1050ti gpus.
I hope this info helps.

FYI - I just successfully installed Virtualbox with Lite Software. Works fine on my system.

[member=9185]minesheep[/member] please do:
Code:
sudo apt install libblockdev-crypto2
systemctl restart udisks2.serviceand report back if that fixes it, I'll put it in the Final is it does.

I'd love to be able to include the nvidia drivers on the ISO but that would cause it to bloat in size. What happens when you select to Install 3rd party drivers for graphics and wifi during install? If you're connect to the internet, it should pull those in and install them.

[member=9185]minesheep[/member] what did you install Linux Lite to? Hard drive, ssd, usb device, vm?
Re: Linux Lite 5.0 RC1 Released - Valtam - 05-16-2020
VirtualBox and Audacity installs fine from Lite Software here on RC1.
Re: Linux Lite 5.0 RC1 Released - icedigger - 05-16-2020
I always install with the 3rd party option checked

When running from live usb system It is no longer faster to boot directly from flash drive than from RAM and copy LL to ram unless md5sum skipping
https://askubuntu.com/questions/829917/can-i-boot-a-live-usb-fully-to-ram-allowing-me-to-remove-the-disk
Lets say that:
my usb takes 60 seconds to read about 1,5gb (LL install media)
my RAM takes 1 second to read about 1,5gb (LL install media)
my computer boot into the LL loading stage in about 10seconds
my usb takes about 15seconds to read about 350mb (LL essential files to boot up)
Then:
booting normally with LL 4.8 takes about 25seconds (with toram disabled and md5sum disabled)
booting with toram with LL 4.8 takes about 70seconds (with toram enabled and md5sum disabled)
booting normally with LL 5.x takes about 70seconds (with toram enabled and md5sum disabled)
booting with toram with LL 5.x takes about 71seconds (with both toram and md5sum enabled) md5sum checking can be done in ram
However using toram boot parameter with less RAM than needed result in crash while booting (out of RAM)

I copied the 5.0 rc1 to 2gb usb drive with dd (live usb). I don't have 5.0rc1 installed (no permanent install). I have most of stable installations on larger usb drives of 16-64gb (including LL 4.8 ) https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-lite-to-usb-stick-not-ready-yet!/
