System is LL 4.8. After updating today and then rebooting, the machine stuck in the spinning wheel phase. I finally got the Grub screen after messing with various options, but nothing I tried would let me boot so I restored the system using a 12 day old Clonezilla image, which, LUCKILY, worked.

But now I don't dare update the system again. What happened?

How do i manually set up system wide proxy settings?
Thank you. 

Hello,

I have the layout set to Portuguese (standard) and the keyboard is not mapped correctly.
I have to go into the Keyboard settings, change to a different layout and then change back to Portuguese to get the correct layout.

I have to do this every time I boot to get the correct layout. Can someone please tell me what I need to do to get this to stick?

  After a failed update I restarted my PC and end up stuck at the login screen, but the system was configured to start without the login screen, and so it did until I had this problem.
  When I type my password the screen only gets dark for a moment and I get redirected to the login screen again. (Yes I'm sure that I'm typing the right password, I've already tested with a wrong one).
  I have some work that I really can't lose on it, so just reinstaling it is not an option, unless I could access and copy those files to a flash drive, but if I could just solve this problem it will be perfect.

  I'm a rookie when it comes to linux, so any advice will be greatly apprecieted.

Hi forum.
I just happens to stumble over this video on youtube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3px2vVWFuRg

Sadly it turns out that there are some dishonest people out there taking advance of this wonderful Linux distro  - re-branding and selling it as "windows 12".

When trying to install linux lite in a virtual machine, I was not able to install as when the installer is retrieving files, one of the sections hangs at 91 of 95 files. Does anyone have a solution for this? I am using virtual box to install the OS.

Hi,
I have a problem with Palemoon browser.It stopped updating and displays a message saying that the key is invalid.I remode the PPA and key et redid the install procedure but have the same error.
I'm guessing the 20.04 version should be OK but I was just wondering if I should just remove the PPA/Key and install the .deb file manually.
Anyone else using this browser on previous Ubuntu 18.04 / Linux Lite 4.x ?

I got the Updates available pop up this morning, had a quick glance and approved. Then I got a failure and request that I post this here in the forum

Not sure if this is a related issue or not. I've installed BODHI and LLITE on same computer (Windows + Apple free) I was planning on installing a few others to test but haven't gotten to it yet. Anyhow all was well until at some stage LLITE wouldn't log me in and soon thereafter GRUB stopped functioning so I could only log into BODHI (1st on GRUB list - couldn't scroll down). I tinkered around from GRUB trying to increase space 21GB for each partition and adjust things around, Copied partition and placed in a new location. Still nothing worked, then after 5-6 weeks GRUB is working, both instances of LLITE are working, but now BODHI has dissapeared from GRUB  :o

Anybody else experience such behaviour? I am guessing one of the programs I installed on LLITE or BODHI or an UPDATE on LLITE screwed up my LLITE install. Not sure how it got fixed. Perhaps a recent attempt to go into Advance/Secure mode and run updates.?
