After booting up and logon, I noticed a message in the upper right corner. I cicked on it and my desktop changed. No deskyop icons opanel and its icons. Just a flashing message in the upper right saying that my bettery is charging. This is a laptop and LLOS 5.0 is running from a USB HDD. The batter for this laptop is dead and I run the PC strictly on AC so the battery will not charge.
I however have no idea how to get out of this. Shutdown, restart and relogon brings me back to the same point. I found task manager, but with >200 cryptic tasks listed, I have no @%$! idea what it might be.
please help,
thanks
I am trying to restore a Timeshift snapshot. I put one on a USB drive that was formatted to Ext4. Timeshift seems to have forgotten where I put these files I have tried to reset up TS to use that location, but they still do not show up so I cannot use them to do a restore. I have highlighted the files and tried to send them to TS, but that still does not work.
Also If I do get this running or restored, is there something I can disable so that the system does not check the battery state. It seems to me that the system is preserving resources while it tries to recharge a dead battery.
I can go on the internet by running the web browser app. However there is no sound in anything that should have sound. I got back my wallpaper, but all attempts to create desktop icons or a panel have had no success.
I did a restore using Timeshift. It looked like I was in business. I had my wallpaper at login screen. I logged in and heard the logon sound and then before the desktop icons showed, it went directly to other wallpaper with no icons or panel. I have an old snapshot of LLOS 4.8 I might try or just give up on this and start over with Mint.
I got things working fairly well, won't 5.2 come as an update?

Yes, it should. Just give it a time and surely it will come up.

Use "Lite Upgrade" to upgrade within a series - I would do a standard update prior to upgrading...
Thanks for those replies. Found something else not working correctly. VLC media player will load into panel, but not open itself or anything else. How can I reinstall it. Not sure if an upgrade would fix this.
thanks
