Situation:  Wife has a ministry leading group prayers with Shut-In's using ZOOM.  When the Pandemic hit I bought her a new laptop for her to use.

As time went by she began using the laptop more and more like a desktop but kept getting frustrated with all the Windows updates and Microsoft Edge insisting on being the default browser.

Last night was the last straw, the fonts on the screen went blurry and could only be fixed with a reboot which meant her group session that she was leading was interrupted.

I quit using Windows in 2018 and decided enough was enough.

I found an older Dell tower that is easily 10 years old but has 8 gigs of ram, HDMI and a 7200 RPM drive.

I hooked it up to a newer monitor I had and found some ancient speakers that hook up with USB.

I then found an old Microsoft 5MP camera to use.

Well, no surprise that Linux Lite installed smoothly and within a short amount of time I had a nice little computer system setup for her that is dedicated for video conferencing.

She logged in with her google account and found Libre-Word reads her documents without issue.

Zoom configured with no problems and honestly seems smoother.

The computer is reasonably quick with LL 5.4, the Dell Laptop may have an edge on speed but smoothness and reliability are better than speed.

5 out of 5 stars for Linux Lite!

I am free of windows OS and new to Linux . tried installing update and get error message. Need help please.

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

I try to run and get dpkg: error: requested operation requires superuser privilege so I run:
su dpkg --configure -a
su: unrecognized option '--configure'
Try 'su --help' for more information.
I try with one - and get:
su dpkg -configure -a
su: invalid option -- 'a'
Try 'su --help' for more information.

There is no configure option in help.
Ant idea?

Hello everyone here, I'm maxing I'm a new user of linux and windows, currently I did a dual boot of windows 8.1 with linux lite 5.4, previously I had linux mint but linux lite captivated me a lot. I like technology, classical music like Mozart and Linux. I hope to learn more about linux here in the forum

Trying to manage my mom's Linux Lite desktop remotely from my Win10 desktop. I installed Anydesk and I can access her screen remotely if the screen is unlocked. I.e., no screensaver enabled, just "display off" after 5 minutes of inactivity, using the power settings.

I don't want to leave her PC unprotected, however. So instead of powering off the display, I enabled a "black" screensaver after 5 minutes and "locking" after 1 minute.

Problem is in this state, when I try to access her display remotely, Anydesk sees her machine is online, but when I connect it hangs on "waiting for image". I can't interact with her login screen.

I don't think it's an Anydesk issue, because I have another family member running Ubuntu 18.04 and I can see that lock screen and remotely log in.

Any tips or work-arounds would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hi, guys,
I have an HP desktop, Audio HDA-Intel with dual boot windows 10 and Linux Lite (Ubuntu 20.04.2) on it. I have a Bluetooth dongle (Cambridge Silicone Radio) that doesn't work here on Linux-Lite. Windows 10 just gives it a generic brand in the drivers section, and it works. How can I get this Bluetooth dongle to work? The Bluetooth manager doesn't even come up. I can see it when I type in "lsusb" in the terminal.*Bluetooth works with a different dongle, but it's this particular one, the Cambridge Silicone dongle, that doesn't seem to be recognized by bluetooth. I'm making due at the moment with the one that works, but I might need to give it up to another computer.

Hello,
I try to install updates for a few days and I always got this massage:

I am trying to install the Whatsapp desktop client using Wine.
I get a message saying I need to install the .NET framework, and when I click on install it just shows an error.

Anyone have success installing and using the Whatsapp desktop client?

I know there is a Whatsapp web client in chrome, but that doesn't allow making video calls through the laptop.
