UEFI Build Test

[m654321]

I ran into a Grub error while testing - majority of the time it was due to internet connection loss. On my Kangaroo its wifi only but the default driver would disconnect, I since run a usb hardwire ethernet port with no issues.

Another thing to be aware of disable Fast Boot in Win10 (its in the control panel settings).

Many thanks for your reply firenice03.
When I installed linux-lite-3.2-uefitest1a-64bit.iso, there was no problem with WiFi - I checked and repeated the installation using a wired connection to the router (your kind suggestion) but it made no difference.  As I'm installing in CSM mode (Legacy), fast boot appears to be disabled by default, so unfortunately it's not that one either. 

Much as I would wish otherwise, I still need to have a linux dual-boot with Windows OS, as I'm unable to do everything I want to do in linux.  One example is playing my recorded videos/TV programmes on my laptop through our Samsung TV, so that all the family can comfortably view them together on a large enough screen.  With Windows OS this is a straightforward plug-and-play setup, Windows OS instantly recognising the external monitor and setting the picture resolution to optimum quality and full screen size, the sound playing through the TV. I've wasted a lot of time messing around with this in Linux Lite (as well as with Linux MInt and Ubuntu Studio ) - that's not a complaint just the reality of my inexperience - but without success. In a linux-only system (at least with the three distros I've just mentioned),  the laptop screenview doesn't fit the TV display and the sound plays only through the laptop.  I'm sure there is a way to do this in linux but I don't have the knowledge or any more time to fiddle with this at the present time, due to work and family commitments.

So, somewhat disappointingly and with much regret,  I've had to change from Linux Lite 3.2 to Linux Mint 18 (cinnamon) on my main laptop (i.e. setup1 in sig), in order to set up a Win10/LM18 dual-boot on my UEFI laptop.  I have to say installation of LM for the UEFI dual-boot was straightforward and subsequent operation appears to be very smooth, either with or without secure boot enabled. I didn't experience the problem I reported in post #106 with installing  linux-lite-3.2-uefitest1a-64bit in a UEFI  dual-boot with Win10.  So it would appear that the problem lies with linux-lite-3.2-uefitest1a-64bit compatibility with the laptop mentioned. 

Again, thanks firenice03 for your interest - much appreciated.
Any more thoughts - just keep them coming...
