  Lite Software shows 'Not installed' despite being installed
Posted by: Evert Homan - 08-20-2022, 08:18 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (5)

Hi,

I have been running Linux Lite 6.0 for some time now and love it. I have installed additional programs using the Lite Software app, but it shows 'Not installed' as the status for everything I installed. This must be a bug.

Keep up the good work :045:

  an issue in thunar i discovered
Posted by: ingternek - 08-19-2022, 04:56 AM - Forum: Security & Bug Fixes - Replies (3)

Hi
my first time posting
so this is what i have observed
in the first hr of use, i have plugged in and out multiple HDD/thumbdrives (by the normal mounting + unmounting rituals).
then i noticed 1 of the 2 HDD disappeared from the thunar left hand panel
i didnt think it is a biggie maybe a loose port?

after i rebooted, the 2 HDD n 2 other thumbdrives are there as usual
then after i added the 2 HDD to places as shortcut, they both disappeared
under media/user folder the 2 drives are still present
so it is still in "system" and not "undocked"
i could add remove it as shortcut, but it no longer appears as a "drive" (disappears from devices)
it appears as 2 drives when i freshly reboot the system.
the 2 thumbdrives appear as "xxxx-xxxx" labels in the media/user folder
i was wondering, does it have anything to do with me renaming the drives as "10000" and "22222"?
(*edit : most * = latest comment)

****** i use filefreesync and it sees the 2 HDD, and could sync the files between it.

******* aha, so i close all the thunar instances and reopen a fresh 1, the 2 HDD reappears under devices. but the 2 no longer have the "undock" button which it used to have. the thumbdrives still have the "undock" button.

does this count as a bug?

cheers

**and btw guys, great job with linux lite.
***i just need a net monitor and a cpu temp in the panel now.
**** and virtualbox works great ! faster than mint i would say.

  WiFi driver for desktop required.
Posted by: Jim0000 - 08-18-2022, 02:08 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (8)

I have a new Linux Lite installation on an old Dell desktop computer.
I bought a WiFi dongle that appears to be meant for Windows and Mac.
Is there drivers available for using a generic USB WiFi dongle for this operating system?
I will attach a copy of the terminal result from inxi -FN
I could not find a button to select

Code:
like I can in Linux Mint.
Apologies for the that.

Any assistance will be most welcome.

Jim.

  Error Installing qemu-guest-agent in KVM guest
Posted by: Rexkh - 08-17-2022, 11:30 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

Dear All

Following was error message:
sudo systemctl enable qemu-guest-agent
Synchronizing state of qemu-guest-agent.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable qemu-guest-agent
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, Also=,
Alias= settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance= for template
units). This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.

Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
• A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
  .wants/ or .requires/ directory.
• A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
  a requirement dependency on it.
• A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
  D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
• In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
  instance name specified.

Any workaround?

  held by process 4663
Posted by: haarpanoid - 08-17-2022, 07:02 PM - Forum: Updates - Replies (1)

Hello!

Please be gentle, it is my first time  :002:

Tidying up the garage came across this forgotten notebook: Intel Atom, W7 Starter... the lot. I have not used it since 2017 if I remember correctly, and trying to update it gave me this error:

============ Log ===========

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 4663 (apt-get)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?


This was meant to be my introduction to the amazing world of Linux, but a man must admit his limitations. Any help is welcome, thanks.

  Appeciative new user.
Posted by: Jim0000 - 08-16-2022, 08:28 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (1)

I have just loaded an older computer with Linux Lite. As a long term user of Linux Mint, and a reluctant occasional user of Microsoft Windoze 7 &10, I must say I am greatly impressed.
Well done to the developers; I will make a donation this morning.

I specifically like the ordered arrangement of the desktop and the ease of finding anything needed, very quickly.
This is in contrast with the incredibly untidy Win10 which I inherited on a old machine. I had a frustrating time trying to find my way around it. And I stress the "trying" bit!

Thanks to the developers. I will install this on my second home desktop as well.

Jim.
