Hi!

Attempting to download updates and getting the following error log, can anyone help?

I tried last week and had an error (can't remember what, sorry!), thought I'd leave it a few days and try again, now it says it's trying to download 60+ updates and gives the following error log:

TIA!

I have a secondary hard drive that all my files live on.  I have read+write access to everything except ONE FOLDER.  I don't get it.  I can't change the permissions either.

Any ideas?

Thanks

When I click the link for this forum (or any other) I get an address that has an extra "/forums" in it like this:

And here's what I get:

   


(So I have to manually delete the /forums to get to the link.)
JUST AN FYI

Since I recently updated and upgraded my system to Linux Lite 7.8, there has been a problem with Lite Updates. When I open it, it just shows a blank white window (as pictured in the screenshot).

   

I suspect this issue might be related to the re-write the application received in 7.8 (as mentioned in the Release announcement).

Also, here is a screenshot of what the taskbar now looks like when Lite Updates is open, in case that helps.

   

Please could you help solve this issue.

Not sure if there is any help for this...  

I have a dual-boot system.  Two SSDs  - one Linux Lite, one Linux Mint, and a third HDD for my files.  

Like a dummy, I deleted the folder called PICTURES from my HDD.  And it contains ALL of my pictures.  I do have a backup but it is not totally recent, so with it I can retrieve about 98% of my lost files.

I do not see the missing files on the TRASH folder of Linux Lite.  

Is there any way to recover them?

THANK YOU

Hi is there a way to have a fuzzy clock in xfce panel?

Kernel: 6.8.0-94-generic x86_64

I performed a number of upgrades across the Linux Lite services today.
If you see anything weird or experience a bug, please let me know in this thread.

Thank you,

Jerry

We're cooking our most ambitious software project in 14 years, can you guess what it is...

Good grief talk about silliness. Not only insulting to the user base, but what a slick willy way of explaining why... Whenever GUI integration is deprecated or removed nowadays, it is because (and in this case clearly true) of the ongoing churn with Wayland implementation. Whatever marketing whiz came up with this classic explanation (protect dumb users from themselves) i/e basically put the blame for a feature loss on the user is a real ass.

"Ubuntu 26.04 won't ship with the Software & Updates application pre-installed. This is the graphical tool for managing repositories, PPAs, and update settings that is being removed from default desktop builds.

Why? Canonical says some features are too dangerous for regular users. Accidentally disabling the main repository through the GUI breaks system updates and software installation. Enabling proposed or source repositories without understanding them is risky too."
