Hi,
I'm a complete Linux noob so please be patient with me.
I've installed Linux Lite on my Acer VN7-792G, complete install no dual boot with Windows. Initially I encountered the "Reset System" boot loop which i've managed to resolve via using Secure boot mode to point to the Grub.efi. It took a while to boot but I got there in the end but I'll want to fix that going forward - any help on that would be appreciated as well as I read it was recommended to have Secure boot disabled but the issue at hand I need help with is that I can't Install updates.
When click on "Install Updates" from the Menu, nothing happens for a while then I get a dialogue saying " Your computer is not connected to the internet, Linux Lite cannot check for updates. Please check your internet connection and try again."
My computer is connected to the internet and I am able to view webpages in the browser and download things but update is not working. I've also tried plugging into my router via an ethernet cable and still the same issue.
The odd thing is that I had the same issue with my previous Windows installation on Windows 11. Was able to access internet and download but could not download Windows updates.
Can anyone please help me shed some light on this issue?
