Hi folks,

Here's the situation :

I've got this old laptop under LL 7, connected to my TV. I use it to watch videos with Kodi latest version. Been doing that for a while without any problem.

Recently, I've been having some troubles :

- from time to time Kodi failed to launch after boot (I had automated it) and I got black screen and the computer is all frozen up. Only solution, to shutdown and reboot

- got rid of the automated launching and did it manually... Once again, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't

- moreover, once Kodi's been launched, it either works flawlessy or just quit without notice

- can also freeze the whole computer, with black screen, after quitting. Only solution, to shutdown and reboot, yet again.

I've no idea what's causing this and even less how to fix it. I've been using Kodi for years now, on several Linux distros, on Mac OS and Win, must admit I've never seen it behave so erratically...

Any suggestions ?

Any news about this leak? I haven't found a fix as yet in Ubuntu.

Any help and suggestions would be appreciated. Note, that I am 74 years old and still use fingers and toes to count, so please reply accordingly.

Hi.
I have been a member of the LL-forum for many years, but after the forum upgrade, I could no longer log in. The old UN/PW was not accepted, and no e-mail was received when I requested a new PW. 
I created then a new e-mail account, and logged in with new UN and PW, but did not receive the confirmation e-mail which prevented me from posting anything. Waited a few days, and today I was suddenly able to post this.
Has anyone else experienced same?

The Lite Software package that contains Lite Updates has a new version of Lite Updates. We're now using Yad instead of Zenity. This will put to an end blank windows and other reported bugs. We hope that you like it.

So as some will know already, we are out-growing our web server. A new one will be provisioned and setup hopefully within the next 48 hours. We'll get twice the CPU cores and double the space for nearly half the price of the old one. So if you are online and try to access any of our web service like these Forums for example, there may be some downtime (very little I hope).

Thanks everyone.

Good Tuesday morning Linux Lite users.
It's been a while and just received the email to check out the new look on the forum page and I must say I like it a lot.  I've been reading about the new Linux Lite Distro a lot in the online tech news and most of it is very positive. 
I purchased a new laptop last November during the black Friday Sales that were going on and received my new laptop in December 2023.  It's an HP Pavillion with all of the new stuff and very fast and up to date and so far it's been fun learning the new Windows 11 universe!  I still get out my old Compaq Presario regularly to perform updates and enjoy Linux Lite 5.8 simplicity and just plain fun to use.  I hope someday to get back into Linux on this new laptop but that will take some time learning all of the new hardware and of course it is a bit harder downloading a Linux OS onto the new type of computer hardware. 
Take care and God bless Linux Lite

Hello Community. I installed Windows 10 lite and Linux Lite (in that order) in an old machine and suddenly the topic`s message appeared. I thought it could be solved reparing the grub. I booted with an ISO with Boot Repair Disk with no right result. Then, I made a trial erasing LL and installing Lubuntu preserving Windows. After the installation, the problem persists. Windows boots properly. I acknowledge the solution.
