hi everybody,
a little problem with the potential to grow. I am away from home for some time and brought my little laptop with lite 5 installed. It is an HP laptop with only a 32gig ssd so I use USBs for storage and work. It was fine until I just came back and get the message;

failed to mount " WORK"
Not authorized to perform operation (polkit authority not available and caller is not uid 0)

when I tried to open the stick.
Today there was an update which needed a reboot and I used Stacer, that`s it. Can somebody please advise?

I added a UPS to my system last week and had been seeing the UPS in my task bar on the right side and when I pulled up power management settings it would show the UPS state.

Since that time I have not added software other than the updates that are pushed and today the UPS has started disappearing from the taskbar.  It is there when I boot into my session, I can see the charge state and then the ICON disappears.

It also disappears from the devices listed in Power Manager.  I checked the USB cable, plugged and re-plugged it and all seems good.

I then put the cable in another USB port, it appeared in the power manager, I was able to view it.  I closed power manager and it disappeared again.

Any suggestions as to how to get it back?

Shamelessly piggy-backing on this topic, I wonder if it's possible to upgrade the kernel to a newer version than the 4.4.0-189-generic "hostnamectl | grep Kernel" returns in terminal for my 32-bit Lite 3.8?

Sadly, my age and my computer's age are getting on. So I wave goodbye. I enjoyed much of the banter and the education I received here. I hope I hurt no feelings, and I wish all of you a long covid-free life. You have been most friendly through some tough times!
Linux Lite!

Hi everyone,

I've installed Lite 3.8 (32-bit) on my Early 2006 MacBook Pro (CPU is CoreDuo, hence the 32-bit install), and I'd like to customize my touchpad (AppleTouch), like I did in OS X thanks to a gem of an app (not free, but worth every penny) called SideTrack, that lets me do one-finger scrolling (ditto Lite, out of the box, thank you guys!), but also lets me decide what happens when I tap in each corner of the touchpad.

For example, in OS X Snow Leopard (I dual-boot the two OSes), tapping in the upper left corner performs a middle-click, tapping in the bottom left goes one page back in my Web browser, when tapping in the bottom right goes one page forward, and tapping in the upper right corner performs a right-click (you can do that in Lite too in the bottom right corner, another one for the good guys, because two-finger right-click is a royal pain in the rear, you ask me).

So, to end your suffering at reading this post, is there a way, via a setting or third-party, to do in Lite what I can do in OS X with my touchpad/AppleTouch?

i have Linux lite v3.4
used it on a Sony TV model KDL-42W705B made Feb 2015
using the hdmi port to connect sound and vision no problems
i tried using it on new Sony TV model KD-55XF7073 made September 2018
using the hdmi port to connect vision perfect, sound garbled sqeeky
used hdmi sound options

Thinking that the latest v5 would cure the faulty sound waited till it came

Have now installed duel boot Linux lite v5 using the Sony TV model KDL-42W705B
again used the hdmi port to connect sound and vision no problems
so tried using it on Sony TV model KD-55XF7073
using the hdmi port to connect vision perfect, sound again garbled sqeeky
used hdmi sound options

trashes the sound Linux lite v3.4 and v 5 sends out.

My thoughts are that Sony have altered the on board sound somehow between
tv models or maybe my new Sony TV model KD-55XF7073 is a runt and other models have no problems

By the way i also use Raspberry Pi 3 model B on
this Sony TV model KD-55XF7073
used the HDMI port to connect sound and vision no problems

to get by have ordered from Ebay a
HDMI to 3 RCA CVBS Full HD Video 1080P AV Scart Composite Converter Adapter
hopefully this should circumvent the incompatibility problem till a suitable fix comes

So I purchased a CyberPower CP800AVR UPS which connect to the PC with a USB cord and to my pleasant surprise I see the XFCE Power Manager can display the status of the UPS.

I also run Linux Lite on my laptop and I have used the settings in power manager to shut down the laptop when the power is low.

So I was wondering, will the Power Manager monitor the UPS and shut down the system if the power gets low? 

Just purchased a CyberPower CP800AVR UPS due to storms in the SouthEast which have caused two power outages in the last three weeks.  Cyberpower has a command line utility for Linux which is a bit of a disappointment.  I wondered if anyone knew of any other software that might work?  The UPS connects through a USB and I can get status through the command line but would love to see something in the tray if possible.

-- Never mind, looked over at the tray and there is a little icon showing the UPS and it's charge state.  The more I use Linux Lite the more I am impressed.

got this log when i tried to update.

how do i solve the problem above? thanks in advance

Dukto is a handy lan file transfer program that I have used a lot in LL48.
It requires no configuration and does not need an internet connection.
However, it won't install in LL50; it gives the following error:

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libqt4-declarative (>=4:4.7.0~rc1)

This happens when I click on the .deb file, dukto_6.0-1_amd64.deb
which I believe is the latest and last version (it's no longer supported).

Any idea how to fix this or is there an alternative file transfer program
similar to Dukto ?
