New to Linux, can anyone point me in right directio to fix this error?

Quote:My original post about not being able to install "Puddletag" has been solved. But I am unable to see any replies from my original posted question. I've tried logging in and out of my Linux Lite Forum account and can't see any replies as it just returns me to the post listings.

In any case, let me explain how I got it to install. Initially, I had looked through the Package Manager and "Puddletag" was nowhere in sight. So I opened up a terminal and did a search of Flatpak for it. It returned a "not found" message. Around midnight I thought maybe I'll try looking through the Flatpak "Software" GUI program. At first, I couldn't even see where I would enter a search term and began just looking through categories. But then I realized the screen was kind of set up like the way Gnome 3 is. I spotted a magnify glass icon at the top left corner and entered "Puddletag".

Lo and hold, there it was! But it showed "puddletag-snap" which I would assume means it's a snap package (does anyone really like snaps?). I installed it without a hitch though. Let's call that chapter closed for now. Thanks for anyone who tried to help me with my original post. Sorry I can't read your reply.

On a similar note though, I was looking forward to installing GCstar collection database and can't find that either in the original Linux Lite package manager or in Flatpak. I have a very large music collection I was hoping to catalogue this summer. This is another example of the original author's website saying "do this and do that" but it looks to involved to be worth it.

Anyone else have GCstar installed on their Linux Lite installation (5.8)? (I hope I can see your replies this time around!)

You could try installing the 'all' version from bionic in that link. There's no telling how that would end up, so the smart thing to do is try it in a VM first. Good luck.

Hi,
after the today update (done over "Install Updates") and the reboot, the Lite Widget did not have changed his status: it is still "15 days since your last update".
Some help?

Hello folks,

I inherited my sister-in-law's ancient (circa 2007) HP Compaq Presario tower. I've installed Linux Lite on a couple of other computers before and always found it difficult to locate the software I needed. I find the Package Manager lacking in audio-oriented programs.

I've gotten around some of these limitations with this latest installation, and even had to install Flatpak to get at least a few "groovy" apps. But I'm at a real impasse with trying to install my fav music tagging program "Puddletag". It isn't in the currently installed Package Manager (which kind of shocks me) and it's not available as a Flatpak either.

The only advice the Puddletag website states about install it is:

Installing on Ubuntu
You can install puddletag from the Software Centre in recent versions of Ubuntu.

Errrrr... no. Sorry. For me, Puddletag is the de facto music file tagger. I've tried all the others of the years and they all suck balls. "EasyTag" is alright, but has quirks that drives me nuts and is limited in features.

Am I screwed here? I don't want to install from source and mess things up as I've worked hard to get this Linux Lite to where I have it now. It just boggles my mind that the package manager knows nothing of this great piece of software. I have "Puddletag" on a couple of other machines in my home but I don't want to deal with moving music files here and there just to tag the darn things.

Any advice that might help me get this app installed on Linux Lite? (Thanks in advance.)

can anyone help?

I have an intel 1135g1 lenovo laptop. I live usbed a Kubuntu 22 distro and the backlight worked just fine. It had created an intel_backlight folder to control the brightness.

I installed LL 5.4 but it did not detect an intel backlight nor adding boot commands like acpi_backlight=vendor solved the issue. Hardware or software keys could not change the brightness.

How could I add the drivers from the Kubuntu usb or otherwise solve my issue?

By the release announcement of Linux Lite 5.8
https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/relea...-released/

Jerry has under Neofetch as OS Linux Lite 5.8, while I have Ubuntu 20.04.

Could you please take a look and give me hint why / due what?

Thanks and best regards,
Klaus

Hello LL Team. I'm a newbie but already starting to put things up on my old Asus Laptop. I really am in love with Lite 5.8 and already managed to function well with a lot of applications and programs I use on my daily routine.
One of my "problems" now is that every time I start Chrome or Brave browsers, that I've installed, the system asks for my password, keyring, to open, and that is annoying. It does not happen with Tor or Mozilla probably because Mozilla is the system chosed default browser.
I've searched before here on this forum for the very same problem and I found that long ago somebody had the same issue and solved it by using the command sudo apt-get install seahorse that was suggested by Jerry and after that to complete the procedure the answer 29 from https://askubuntu.com/questions/867/how-...ng-on-boot has appointed. The problem is that I cannot find that answer and as a result I cant solve the issue.

Sorry to come back again to this topic but I'm stuck  and really want to know how to solve this kind of issues in the future.

Regards,

Zé

I followed this (https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/tutor...-x-series/) post to install tor project. With one modification
    Instead of gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89 ( there was an error - server failure)
    I used gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89

but tor is not installing, i get the following error message

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
tor : Depends: libevent-2.0-5 (>= 2.0.10-stable) but it is not installable
      Depends: libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.2~beta3) but it is not installable
      Recommends: tor-geoipdb but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

How can over come this error
Thanks
