Hello
I have been using a Linux Lite 7.0 live boot DVD to check that everything seems to be working ok on my laptop prior to installation. Most things seem to be functioning ok but I cannot launch the internet browser. When I click the Chrome icon from the system tray nothing happens and when I try to open the support manual I get the following message:
"Failed to execute default web browser. input/output error"
After a quick search on my phone I managed to get it to open using the command line
google-chrome --no-sandbox
However I am reluctant to go ahead with the installation if this is going to be a persistent problem. Is this something that could be associated to the live boot settings? I should add that I have used the same live boot DVD to install Linux Lite on a different laptop and did not have this issue.
Results from inxi are pasted below. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thank you.
