Hello
I installed Linux Lite quite some time ago on a friend's computer - version 3.6 according to the system report.
No updates have been applied since and I have now been asked to sort out the problems she has been getting recently.
The Install Updates option on the Menu says the system is up to date, which it certainly is not.
I am quite happy with using the terminal and I could simply re-install  version 7, but I wondered if there is a GUI method that I could explain to my friend?
Thanks for any suggestions.

After the last update my Linux Lite has the following bug:

When opening a new tab, those icons in the upper right corner (_ square and x) to minimize, maximize and close the tab do not appear.

Only on Google Chrome does it appear, but even then they appear but don't work.


I can't minimize or close the tabs, I can only close them with the keyboard commands shift + ctrl + q

See an image of what it looks like:

Linux Lite loops back to a login screen after entering password, instead of finishing loading.

System Information
Linux Lite 5.4 (and older since at least 2019 https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/start.../#msg48088)
HP Pavillion dv6

Expected Behavior
A. Booting to desktop with drive/partition/volume full error message.
B. Or, drive full error message (hopefully with options to remove files).

Actual Behavior
1. Asks for login.
2. Accepts login.
3. Loops back to login with no feedback or error.

Steps to reproduce
1. Fill drive up through use and updates.
2. Shut down computer.
3. Loop starts at next boot.

Related Feature Request
1. Notification/message that the drive is almost too full to boot/work.
2. The option to turn this notification off.

I am running Linux Lite 7.0 and have been trying to download Balena Etcher without any success.
Keep getting unknown/unrecognized file?

Could someone help me out here please.

[size=1em]My xfce4-screenshooter is not copying to clipboard.  I've installed CopyQ and Flameshot as workarounds, but if anyone has any suggestions on getting the default screenshooter to work correctly, I'd appreciate it. 


By the way, using Synaptic Package Manager (ie. Install/Remove Software) I've already removed and reinstalled (and completely removed and reinstalled) xfce4-screenshooter with no success.[/size]

I got this message anytime I tried to install Linux Lite Software

Lite Software Error:

- dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

- Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet and try again.

How to solve this?

The desktop appears to freeze once the lid is re-opened. The mouse still works but keyboard appears disabled. The only solution so far is power-cycle.

Using power manager I have tried each option, all end up with the same result. Screen locking is off.

[edit] The 'switch off display' option *does* work, but suspend/hibernate/lock all seem to skewer the desktop.

Any thoughts? Machine in question is an Intel i5 Dell Vostro w/ 16GB RAM, Samsung 512GB SSD. Please let me know if more info required.

Hi All,

As noted in a previous forum thread, the installer won't let you install with less than 16.5GB of drive space.  But, the minimum requirements listed say 8GB.

Is there a way to do a more minimal install?  I ran 'live' off a usb drive and everything looked great, but I don't need the office apps, thunderbird, etc.

At a minimum, can the minimum requirements be changed to reflect the reality of the installer?

I really like Linux Lite and it seems plenty 'lite' enough to run on my old laptop.  Just wish I could install it!

Thanks,
Bob
