Thanks avj. ibus is not the issue here, the above error regarding ibus is common place in linux distributions and not worth agonizing over. It never hurts to point things out though, sometimes in the haze of development, the glaringly obvious can be easily overlooked. Smile

If I can't get this language issue sorted out, I'm currently leaning towards releasing the 64bit UEFI build as a 'Beta' in February, with the caveat that the install must be performed in US English. In some ways this is actually no different to how people from different languages currently install and use Linux Lite in terms of the language sticking upon first boot.

Then when we hit 3.0 in June, all should be well as we'll have a fresh new way of building LL with what I hope will not include this issue.

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 Smile

As it happens I have a spare PC I just built specifically to do bare metal Linux installs:

I'd be happy to help test and I can offer a full video capture of my tests.

@Jerry. Yes I agree, to the licence, will await instructions. Smile

Re: UEFI Build Test - Valtam - 01-09-2016

Herbie, joeslinux, details sent. Thank you Smile

Re: UEFI Build Test - Valtam - 01-09-2016

Jalcom, do you have any results yet? Cheers.

Re: UEFI Build Test - Herbie - 01-10-2016

What install options you choose (check boxes on the installer etc)
Updates & 3rd party selected. Selected, something else, created separate home partition.
- Whether this is a dual boot test or single boot (installing Linux Lite UEFI only on your computer)
Triple boot: Win 10 & Mint on ssd, LinuxLite on HDD.
- Any errors that occur during the install: please keep an eye on the installer, see where it crashes
No errors.
- Install using another keyboard selection, eg. English UK keyboard
English UK keyboard. Reverted to US, upon restart.
- Install in another language, eg. German or French etc.
English UK
- Screenshot any crashes or error messages
Seems to be all ok, apart from a brief message, upon startup, in top right of screen, about virtualbox.
System hangs on shutdown, I need to do a hard shutdown. This must be an upstream issue, as it also occurs on Linux Mint. I have not installed any additional drivers yet.

I hope to find something... Been debating something newer, but not sure I'll have by time..

Well I did pick up a little something new  ;D
It's a mobile desktop and has EFI and Secure Boot options; currently running I can see what you're doing Win10
If you're still testing I'm more than happy to give it a go... Curious of a few things myself..
If you want/need specs I can post back..

Re: UEFI Build Test - Colin23erk - 01-18-2016

I am interested in trying a UEFI iso of LinuxLite  . I have a HP Stream 11 32GB 64bit .  netbook  that I was about to wipe to do a clean install of Win 10 . When I have wiped the eMMC disk I would like to try Linux Lite as it is my preferred OS .
I made enquirers  about a UEFI version in early November but you had issues about Secure Boot and Microsoft wanting a licence fee

Re: UEFI Build Test - firenice03 - 01-22-2016

Ok so I've given it a few go's and I receive an error at the Grub portion of the install...

For Info...
- What install options you choose (check boxes on the installer etc)
Something else
- Whether this is a dual boot test or single boot (installing Linux Lite UEFI only on your computer)
Dual boot, LL on a separate partition and disk (micro SD)
- Any errors that occur during the install: please keep an eye on the installer, see where it crashes
Installing Grub2 package - - install fails
- Install using another keyboard selection, eg. English UK keyboard
Thus far defaults English
- Install in another language, eg. German or French etc.
English
- Screenshot any crashes or error messages
See below

I've created 3 partitions on the disk... Screenshots after the error
- The EFI partition tried both EFI (cannot select for loader) and Bios Grub (selected for loader)
Grub error on both
- A swap partition
- A root "/" partition

LL files/OS appear to install ("/" has typical LL file structure) - Grub portion fails...
