Hello, i noticed that when i close my laptop's lid for one reason or another and then re-open it again later LL don't ask for my password like windows does.
For me that's a serious security flaw as anyone could just open the lid and then get access to laptop, how can i prevent this?
The box "Lock screen when system is going to sleep" was already checked and re-doing it changed nothing.

Hello, i recently switched to LL after having a bad time with windows 11.
I'm mostly loving the OS so far and this forum just looks really nice, it's a pleasure to meet y'all!

In both options:
"Loading the Linux Lite 7.6 Live system"
"Direct installation of Linux Lite 7.6"
After installing LL7.6, if I launch Google Chrome from the desktop or using the command in the terminal: "google-chrome", Chrome opens for 2 seconds, after which the current session ends with the loss of all open applications.

The command: "google-chrome" results in the following with details:

As part of customising a Linux Lite 7.6 installation I indented to activate "keep synchronized with internet servers" in the Time and Date Settings.

When choosing this option a pop-up window appears:


Selecting "Install NTP support" results in:


I noticed that Linux Lite is not using the Ubuntu default systemd-timesyncd.service but ntpd. So ntp is actually installed.

So are users expected to just ignore this setting while synchronization has been implemented in Linux Lite by default?

I was sitting there looking at the system requirements (new ones) and wondering if I should install it on a laptop like this since I have 8 GB of RAM and an Intel Core i3 1215u.

Greetings to all Linux Lite users, this might be a slightly unusual question. Why have the minimum system requirements for Linux Lite itself increased over the past two years? Besides, Xfce is lighter, and I'm not talking about the software, that's all clear, but the OS itself. I think two years ago it was 981 MB, but now it's 4 GB, and Ubuntu has lower requirements. The question is, what's the reason for such a sharp increase in Linux Lite system requirements?

============ Log ===========

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 5604 (apt-get)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?

Will just bullet point each bit of news.

- New ISO size should be around 2.6gb This is between 200MB - 800MB smaller then most of the Top 10 Distrowatch distributions.
- New theme (and possibly icon set) to be announced. Using GTK4 where possible, including Lite apps.
- Memory usage is around 800mb in a VM, will be a lot less on real hardware.
- Firefox (via PPA) will replace Chrome. I believe that having Chrome in Series 7x has hurt us going from what I have read online.
- Btop will replace Htop.
