Hi,
I have a problem with Palemoon browser.It stopped updating and displays a message saying that the key is invalid.I remode the PPA and key et redid the install procedure but have the same error.
I'm guessing the 20.04 version should be OK but I was just wondering if I should just remove the PPA/Key and install the .deb file manually.
Anyone else using this browser on previous Ubuntu 18.04 / Linux Lite 4.x ?

I got the Updates available pop up this morning, had a quick glance and approved. Then I got a failure and request that I post this here in the forum

Not sure if this is a related issue or not. I've installed BODHI and LLITE on same computer (Windows + Apple free) I was planning on installing a few others to test but haven't gotten to it yet. Anyhow all was well until at some stage LLITE wouldn't log me in and soon thereafter GRUB stopped functioning so I could only log into BODHI (1st on GRUB list - couldn't scroll down). I tinkered around from GRUB trying to increase space 21GB for each partition and adjust things around, Copied partition and placed in a new location. Still nothing worked, then after 5-6 weeks GRUB is working, both instances of LLITE are working, but now BODHI has dissapeared from GRUB  :o

Anybody else experience such behaviour? I am guessing one of the programs I installed on LLITE or BODHI or an UPDATE on LLITE screwed up my LLITE install. Not sure how it got fixed. Perhaps a recent attempt to go into Advance/Secure mode and run updates.?

I've been using an external HD to transfer files between my linux system and my windows PC. Tonight it wouldn't let me write to the disk. No matter what I did I got errors like chown: changing ownership of '/media/MYNAME/STORAGE': Read-only file system
(STORAGE is the name of the disk.)
When I look in the GUI properties tab it says I have read and write access but no groups have anything but read access. However, I plainly do not have write access. I've looked online for the last hour and I know this is a common issue in linux, but I've never run into it before and so far all the terminal commands I have seen suggested don't do anything useful; the disk stays read only. I have to get this working again!

I can write to it fine in Windows.

Hello,

I have recently installed Linux Lite (LL) v5.2 as a dual boot with Windows 10 Home on two (out of 3) laptops and it is a pleasure using it. The installation was smooth and the available on LL website installation guide was very helpful.
Many thanks to the Linux Lite developers. My initial impression is that LL works faster than Windows 10 on my laptops and requires less RAM.

My third laptop (Acer 3023 with Sempron 3000+ and 1.25GB ram) was too old for LL, and its only OS is Debian 10 i386 with lxqt, chosen after a dozen of experiments.

Following the Linux Lite tutorials and tips from Ubuntu forums, I was able to connect all laptops and OS (Linux Lite, Windows 10 Home, Debian 10) in a small network and its work is satisfying, especially after the installation of Barrier, which allows me to use one keyboard and mouse for all laptops and OS.

I have though one problem that prevents me using LL on my ACER 5745G, 8GB, i5-460M laptop during my home office working hours.

I need to connect the laptop to my employer’s VPN server, which uses SSTP, while been able to keep the access to Internet for other applications.

I was able to connect the laptop with LL to the VPN server, but then I lost the connection to Internet. Chrome and Firefox just say there is some DNS error and refuse to work.

I have been able to establish the connection with the same laptop with Windows 10 and mapped a network drive to the company’s server, without any problems. Thus, I believe that the hardware, internet connection and user login data are tested successfully.

What I have done by now is the following:

Windows 10 Home:
1. Network Settings -> Add a VPN connection
2. Filled the Connection name, Server name, VPN type (sstp), and sign in info.
3. I entered the server IP in File Explorer address bar, selected the shared folder, and used my office network login data.
4. Mapped the shared folder and successfully used it ever after.

Linux Lite v. 5.2, following various advices and tips found on the LL tutorials and Ubuntu forums:
1. Installed CIFS-utils

Quote:username=<my office network username>
password=<my office network password>
domain=<VPN server domain name>

Quote://<Server IP>/<Shared folder>  /home/<Folder on my hdd>  cifs credentials=/etc/XXXcred 0 0

Quote:<Web site> server IP address could not be found

Hello,


I'm trying out Linux Lite from a live DVD on a Dell Dimension 2350 that previously ran XP.  Only onboard video display.    I see the desktop, and I can see the desktop menus but they are unreadable because most of the letters are missing. Not only in the menus, but also file names in the file manager. But Firefox runs fine. https://krogerfeedback.nl https://talktosonic.onl https://talktowendys.vip https://whataburgersurvey.onl

I suspect the problem is that I didn't see any menus during boot, so I didn't get to choose a language.  Is that plausible?

What I saw during boot:
Feather, auto boot in 8 secs
A few flashes.
Black screen w patterned rectangle top L, stayed on screen 2-3 secs.
Grey screen with Buddha profile and progress bar.
Black screen for 50 secs.
Cursor appeared on black screen, 3 secs.
Desktop, with feather , 3 icons at top L with garbled labels,and toolbar at bottom.

I have a little experience with Linux: I run Ubuntu Studio on my (much newer) laptop. But this font problem is new to me. Any suggestions? LX terminal is working, so can I fix language with some commands (if that's the problem)? Would I have the same problem if I were to install Linux Lite as dual-boot? (not sure how, since I can't understand the menus).


thanks

Hola nuevamente: llevo tiempo intentando hacerme con un monitor de Red que me diga a ser posible graficamente lo que esta pasando por mi targeta de Red. He visto varias infos sobre programas en linea de comandos como Iptraf, iftop, Speedometer (por ejemplo) pero no soy capaz de instalarlos .....me dice el terminal E: [b]No se ha podido localizar el paquete <X>[/b].
Sabeis otra forma de instalarlos si es que existen?.....conoceis algun programa que si se instale y funcione bien??...hay alternativas que merezcan la pena??.Bueno como siempre espero vuestras respuestas avidamente.
Un saludo a [email protected] y suerte!!

Hello,

I installed Linux Lite 1h ago and in the package manager I can see gcc 9 and gcc 10:
https://pasteboard.co/798ad879-31a9-442f...0ac1457acf

I really only need the latest and greatest not sure how or why I have two gcc.
I did try to search for gcc 10 in my system but I can only find gcc 9.

How can I just have gcc 10 and not mess anything up?

I have been using LL 3.8 very hapily for the last couple of years, but it's almost EoL, so I need to migrate to LL5.2.

Is there any easy way to keep al the work I have done setting up the desktop colors/icons?

Three is also a really nice "feather"/gold background that comes up when the system boots before I get the log in greeter screen.  Any easy way to copy that over?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

I have enjoyed using Linux Lite until a recent update. I have a Intel I9 processor and Nvidia RTX 2070 video card. I recently upgraded my drives to all NVME and now I cannot install Lite with USB of latest release. I have tried several attempts, downloaded the current ISO several times and recreated the USB install. Everything seems to install correctly until I reboot and get nothing but a black screen and blinking cursor. Other Debian, Ubuntu, and even Arch distro work fine. What is up with this?

Thanks

Hi everyone,
Have only just downloaded and installed Linux Lite on an old Dell Inspiron 6400. It had been running 2 versions of Peppermi t but have now replaced one of them with Linux Lite.
Looking forward to learning g the system, will no doubt be back with questions.

Regards,
Degsy
