This has been going on for a while and it's getting annoying. After I log in on the login page, the next screen shows a box with "Are you sure you want to proceed". The only option is OK. After that, the computer will boot up and run fine. The only thing I can find that I can't do is create a systems report. It goes straight to the terminal. How do I stop this box from coming up? How do I get a systems report?

Hello!
I don't know what happened to your post, but you can edit it to have substance later, if you want to. In the meantime, welcome to Linux Lite, and to the forums...

Hi Plumberbob
I'll take a stab at this part of the problem:
After I log in on the login page, the next screen shows a box with "Are you sure you want to proceed". The only option is OK. After that, the computer will boot up and run fine.
Open the Application Autostart window with:
Menu > All > Sessions and Startup > Application Autostart Tab
Does anything look out of the ordinary here? If you're not sure, post a screenshot of it in this thread.

Hello Scott
Thank you for replying to my post. Here is a screenshot of my application startup tab.

I don't know if this is related to your problem but I found an article about it on ask ubuntu that might help.

Hello AVJ
I appreciate your response to my post. I read this post and while my problem may be in my .profile, the two particular items that caused their problem is not in my .profile. The first answer stated that any command in .profile that generates output causes this problem.
I'm a plumber and not a computer whiz. I don't have a clue of what I'm looking at, so I've posted a screenshot of my .profile. Are there anything that should be commented out?

My guess is the final two lines (23 and 24) are the problem. Do a small edit on .profile so that lines 23 and 24 look like this:
#exportPATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
#exportGAME_DEBUGGER="hl2debug"All we're doing is inserting a # character before each line. It will cause that line to be ignored when .profile is processed. If things are worse afterward remove the # and reboot. You can also try doing one line at a time.

@Avj
Thanks, looks like you found the problem.

I commented out lines 23 and 24, like you suggested, and saved. I then rebooted my computer twice. I'm still having the same problem. I double checked the .profile after rebooting and it did save the changes.
I fixed the "create a systems report" problem by upgrading from LL2 to LL2.4.

I believe I have found the problem. The problem was in .bashrc. I found this in a article on ask ubuntu:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/603328/are-you-sure-you-want-to-proceed-on-login?rq=1 (http://askubuntu.com/questions/603328/are-you-sure-you-want-to-proceed-on-login?rq=1) .
I have archey and, for it to work on startup, I had to add it to the .bashrc and save. It had worked for years with no problem until a couple months ago. Anyway, I commented it out and so far no problems. There is an option to change archey to archey 2> /dev/null, which I had rather do. I tried this first but when I rebooted a window came up saying there is no such file or directory as /dev/null.
I want to thank Scott and AVJ for your help. It was greatly appreciated.
