Hey im new to linux lite. Yesterday i installed it on my older notebook (Acer Aspire E1-771) because win10 been way to heavy for him.
Im really surprised how useable this notebook got, otherwise it could been went straight to the bin.

Everything went fine, but i noticed my touchpad worked little weird. Even if the touchpad felt really good and responsible, the scroll bar been on 50% of the whole right side of the touchpad.

So i spend some after hours for a solution. I found out the driver my touchpad is using is synaptics, so i watched for some update or other version of it.
Somewhere i found this code

Just noticed "2 Important updates available " when I click on install I see that they are - to "update login" and "update password" - call me paranoid but are these bona fide and genuine updates ? - I cancelled the update until such times as I can establish that these are genuine updates so would appreciate any assistance you can offer

Just preformed a clean install of LL 6.2 and install went without a hitch.


When I tried to update this came up.

I have been happily using Linux Lite for a number or years.  When I just tried to upgrade ver 5.8 with 6.2 etched on a USB, my installation started well going through location, network connection and so on but then went black.  When I rebooted, I ended up with this... "GNU GRUB version 2.4 minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.  For the first word, Tab lists possible command completions.  Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions. "  Then I get a grub> command. 

It won't reinstall, just goes right back to the message and prompt.

How can I fix this?  Is my Dell laptop bricked?

I am trying to use the serial port to access a Lantronix mss100 via null modem cable - LL 5.4.

Using gtkterm, when I run the program I get a "permission denied" message.  How do I gain access to the serial port?






*Edit* Solved - I had to add myself as a member of the "dialout" group.  Now it is working.

Hello!

The integrated webcam is not shown at all in skypeforlinux/discord/cheese/chrome. The external webcam is shown, but the content is just black.
I have dual boot with Windows 10. The integrated webcam works there and the external one (Genius Eye 312) started to work after I installed its driver.
My laptop is ACER Nitro 5 AN515-58-789C and I found no keyboard shortcut in the user manual.

The system report: https://www68.zippyshare.com/v/Vf6ljuUW/file.html
I figured that the internal webcam is 0408:4035 Quanta Computer, Inc. ACER HD User Facing in lsusb.

cat /dev/video0 shows No such file or directory


sudo dmesg | grep -ni "uvc|facing":

Hi there!

Is there any way to receive feedback from the update manager (a la Xubuntu or MX or something similar) in order to know what it is doing at every moment while updating?

Thank you.
