Updated a few minutes ago using "Install Updates" and received this message:


Configuration file '/etc/issue'
 ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
 ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
*** issue (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?




This topic is older so hopefully won't get into  too much trouble replying. Had the same output and a different result.
After doing a fresh install ran the updater and received the above message. Picked "D" option and received two output codes that were slightly different. Not exactly sure what to do inputed "Y" option and nothing happened. Please bear in mind it was very early in the morning.
Proceeded to do my set up and some fixes (FF gfx.xrender...) and so on. Went online to finish reading some more reviews and noticed Synaptic is installed...thought great can install Pokerth...found Synaptic and tried to open it...no dice...error msg. Thought, use apt-get install...no, not working. Tried to install something from the terminal menu...no doesn't work either.  Now it's google search time...didn't find anything that was relevant.
By now am thinking maybe this is a corrupt install and remembered the md5sum checked good. Now it boils down to my doing or not doing something correctly. Most answers suggested to check and run updates. Did this over and over and noticed the output shown above did not reproduce itself.
It wasn't until coming here and reading related topics and posts that produced the key to my success.
Ran "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade", that reproduced the the above output. This time used the "Y" option, followed it thru, exited, restarted...good to go.
Synaptic now works and Pokerth is installed 8).
Quite the test for a newbie.... :)

Hi Bitsnpcs

I placed a sticky note on the edge of the monitor with an arrow on it and rebooted multiple times to read the fast appearing/disappearing text...

Sometimes the keyboard pause key helps.

I placed a sticky note on the edge of the monitor with an arrow on it and rebooted multiple times to read the fast appearing/disappearing text, each time moving the sticky down so I knew where to focus my eyes to try and read it quick enough on next reboot.
I came to a line "X.Org desktop not found"
I changed the graphics driver from "Nvidia tested" to "X.Org X Server Nouveau", the Ubuntu splash screen on shutdown remained, but the Ubuntu boot splash had gone, I rebooted again and the Ubuntu splash on shutdown had also gone.
It has also stopped video playback, attempting this crashes the OS and opens a report dialogue to Ubuntu on auto restart before the login screen. I will ask about graphics in the relevant section.

Hmmm.  I'm not sure at this point.  I'll keep an eye out for solutions and post back if I find one.

Hello gold_finger,
Thank You for your help. I appreciate you keeping an eye out for solutions and posting back if you find one.

Hello,

I made the same error in selection on this update from Ubuntu too.
I have followed the thread and edited the lsb-release file, and checked this in the terminal which now states -
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Lite 2.0"

The Ubuntu splash screen on reboot still occurs when closing, and again when starting up before the Linux Lite Login screen.

I have tried
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get autoremove and it says there are 0 to be removed.


bitsnpcs,

You may have already done this, but just in case you missed it -- run this command:
Code: [Select]
cat /etc/issue
You should see this:
Code: [Select]
Linux Lite 2.0 LTS \n \l
If you don't, follow directions here:  https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index.php?topic=632.msg3285#msg3285.

Hello gold_finger,
yes I had done this following earlier parts of the thread.
I have done it again to ensure nothing has altered since that time.
The output is as you specified.



I managed to read one line of the briefly appearing text on Ubuntu boot splash, it says "Starting LightDM".

Usually, that would have multiple entries, but in your case, it says it only has the default liteboot.plymouth so there shouldn't be a problem. Hmmm, now I'm stumped.

[NOTE]: I was only trying to assist bits in getting the LL boot splash to appear, nothing more, nothing less. I wish I could've helped him solve his entire problem.  :-\

I appreciate your help :-)

Hey bitsnpcs, I had the same problem after installing the latest KDE desktop in my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS install a couple months ago (before I switched to LL  ;D)

What you'll need to do is enter this line of code into Terminal:
Code: [Select]
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
You should see a list of items, each numbered on the left-side. The boot splash in use will be marked with an * (asterisk), which in this case will probably be the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS boot splash. Look at this list and locate the Linux Lite option (this hasn't happened to me in LL yet, so I can't say what it will be labeled). If you could screenshot the output of this code and upload it, I'm sure one of us will be able to point out which boot splash will be the correct one!

If you do manage to locate the correct LL boot splash, the terminal will ask which number to use. Select the number next to the LL boot splash, and hit Enter. Once that's done, you'll need to input the following code into the same terminal, and then I recommend restarting the system (this will give you a chance to see if the boot splash actually changed):
Code: [Select]
sudo update-initramfs -u

i got it from saying ubuntu but when it did not remove anything when i ran auto-remove i guess i will test to see if everything works and learn from this mistake next time ;)

If it didn't remove anything, then there was nothing that needed to be removed.  Nothing to worry about.


ok i made this same problem, dammit. i just read this after i made the mistake. i guess im running ubuntu lite now or something..

As far as I know, this isn't technically a "problem".  Nothing is technically different in the system.  The only thing that is happening is that the description of the system gets changed to the generic "Ubuntu" instead of "LL 2".  If you left it like that, it wouldn't hurt anything.  So again, it's not really something you need to lose sleep over.

EDIT:  Apparently, it can be a problem -- see this post by Valtam.
