About two days ago, I wanted to clean the system.
I discovered that Lite Tweaks, stopped working.
Possibily due to some system updates, but can't  figure which.
The symptoms though, are very much like in LL 7.0 at the beginning.

This is the output when running in CLI:

CloudFlare blocked the post. I'm wasting my precious time with this cloudflare thing.

When i have opened up the Synaptic Package Manager and tried to update the software i keep getting the following error message:

Hello everyone, its been quite awhile since i last used Linux Lite.
Can't wait to get started once again lol.

When trying to update the OS, the following errors occurred:

Furthermore, I can't access the virtual keyboard, I need it to write in Greek because the letters of the Greek alphabet are different from the Roman letters we use on Western keyboards.

I have made a number of attempts to reach my desired configuration (below).  I've tried multiple times from a fresh install (7.0 with the latest updates), but I continue to run into issues - usually a failure to lock, a delayed screen blank, a failure to create an unlock dialog, or a combination of the above.

Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:

Dell Latitude 5590 (latest BIOS - 1.35.0 5-22-2024) (Using UEFI - GPT)

On Battery:
Screen Dims at 3 minutes
Screen Blanks at 5 minutes
Screen Locks at 5 minutes
System Suspends at 10 minutes
System Hibernates at 20 minutes
Network does not Suspend/Hibernate independently
Network does Suspend/Hibernate when System does (10m/20m)

On AC:
Screen Dims at 10 minutes
Screen Blanks at 15 minutes
Screen Locks at 15 minutes
System does not Suspend
System does not Hibernate
Network does not Suspend

Lid Switch Transition from Open to Closed:
Screen Blanks immediately
Screen Locks immediately
No other actions on Lid Switch Closure
Other actions are dictated by Power Source and Timers (as above)

Lid Switch Transition from Closed to Open:
If System/Network is in Suspend/Hibernation restore to Ready
Wake Screen immediately
Open Dialog Box for currently logged in user to provide Password

Independent Action - Upon Ctrl+Alt L (or other assigned key combo)
Screen Blanks immediately
Screen Locks immediately


No delays in Screen Blanking
No Artifacts of previous screen contents on Lid Open
Unlock Dialog Box must appear

I'd prefer to make all changes in shell, as changes via GUI don't seem to be consistent.


Here's some additional info - possibly helpful, but most likely not enough:

xfconf-query -v -l -c xfce4-power-manager
/xfce4-power-manager/blank-on-ac                        0
/xfce4-power-manager/brightness-switch                  0

/xfce4-power-manager/power-button-action                4
/xfce4-power-manager/show-tray-icon                    true

I've also found this in my research:

https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/other.../#lastPost

when trying to connect to a fresh LinuxLite 7.0 installations on multiple computers, all of them had the same error:
"kex_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset"
"Connection reset by [IPADDR] port 22"
Same happens when trying to do "ssh localhost" in a terminal window on the local computer.
It says "kex_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer"
also trying "ssh [USER]@[LOCAL_LAN_IP], which gives an error:
"ssh: connect to host [LOCAL_LAN_IP] port 22: Connection refused"

if it makes any difference:
- ping works fine
- the installation is fresh, drive reformatted
- install all updates first
- tried to install/reinstall openssh-server, still the same
- just tried the same on Lubuntu - works fine

Thank you.

Hi

This is similar to the error log I had recently, which resolved itself - but here it is again, so maybe I need to do something ?

(by the way I do make a regular donation to linux lite) thanks for your help
cheers

Edit: I've already resolve the problem. Can you close the topic please, moderator.

Guys, I've always used Redshift without problems in other versions of Lite, but when installing 7, I put Redshift on because I use the notebook a lot to study at night, the following happens: it doesn't change the colors.

I've searched on several sites but can't find a solution. Some help? Thanks.
