I  have been a linux user for several years..probably 10.. it sure has come along way.. like most..im disgusted with windows..finally had to remove the dual boot..just couldnt even tolerate win 7 anymore..much less 10.  So ive used mint LMDE 2 for years.. outstanding and rock solid.. then came 3.. UGLY SLOW.. had to bail.. tried about 10 lightweight distros.. YUCK.. then I FOUND LINUX LITE.. DAM..THIS THING IS AWESOME...(4.2)... needs a few fixes..but NICE... THEN..TRIED 4.6.. It was OK..UNTIL THE UPDATE...UGHHHHHH..... WHAT ARE YOU DOING ??????
  THE FIRST THING IT DID WAS WRECK MY DESKTOP..AND INSTALL SOME UTTERLY GARBAGE VERSION OF WHAT SOMEONE THOUGHT WOULD BE " BETTER" ...  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!  IN FACT..SO ANNOYING..SO BAD..IVE GONE BACK TO 4.2..AND GOING TO STAY THERE ...JUST NOW REINSTALLED IT... OH...SWEET HAPPINESS AGAIN...

FROM NOW ON...HOW ABOUT YOU ASK US BEFORE JACKING UP OUR DESKTOPS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD.. NOW...WE CAN CONTINUE...

  This lines always appear when I add new repoitory
Posted by: Forza Horison - 12-28-2019, 07:18 PM - Forum: Installing Software - No Replies

I always see this lines right after I add new repository (before repository information and prompt enter or cancel) . I don't know what this codes mean and I don't what to do with it, but I think there's a problem about my system (is it about python, idk).
Can anyone tell me what is it and how or fix it if it's a problem?

I'm using Linux Lite 3.8 x86
Thanks in advance.

  Update error log
Posted by: petelobus - 12-28-2019, 06:45 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (12)

Sorry, I'm new here, despite having been using Lite for a year or so. Not sure where I should post this. Just tried to update and got the attached log - I'm not even sure if Linux has been automatically updating - it worked straight after installing and I've just left it alone!

Thanks for your help

  There is no “Linux” Platform
Posted by: Moltke - 12-27-2019, 02:56 PM - Forum: Off Topic - No Replies

Here's an article posted on blogs.gnome.org which I found very interesting and thought of sharing here https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2019/12...latform-1/

An excerpt:

Quote:In our community there is this idea that “Linux” is the third platform next to Windows and macOS. It’s closely connected to things like the “year of the Linux desktop”, and can be seen in the language around things like Flatpak, which bills itself as “The Future of Apps on Linux” and the Linux App Summit, which is “designed to accelerate the growth of the Linux application ecosystem”.

  Grubscreen not showing on single-boot setups - how can I fix this ?
Posted by: m654321 - 12-26-2019, 12:25 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

Something I've noticed on our Dell D630 is that when I have a single-boot setup with LL, the laptop boots straight to the Desktop, bypassing the grubscreen. However, this problem is absent with dual-boot setups (either LL/Win or LL/Linux), where the grubscreen shows itself as you'd expect. This no-show of grubscreen, with single-boot setups, also occurs on some of our other machines.

I'm trying LL4.6 as a single-boot setup on the D630: unlike LL3.8, which it whizzes along, it doesn't seem to like LL4.6 (loads of lag on booting). So I've installed the headers & image for the older 4.4 kernel, hoping this will get LL4.6 to work on this 13-year-old machine. However, without the grublist appearing on boot-up, I'm unable to select the 4.4 kernel.  How do I fix this so I can get to select the kernel 4.4 ?

Any help / comments much appreciated ...
