I had an annoying problem of the " internet icon" had gone missing and was not to be found by me. I posted a repair question and Jerry was kind enough to respond and fix the problem.
I do appreciate the time and effort I took from his busy day to help me out.
The support here on the forums is one of the best on the WWW.
Created a new partition from space that I had from the Home partition. I plan to use this for Timeshift and other backup. For some unknown reason the partition says it is owned by Root and I cannot open it or change permissions. What do I need to do so I can access this? It now has no files in it.
Just installed Linux lite 5.xx
Tried to install updates and got the following error mesages
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 3596 (apt-get)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?
Any help appreciated

Hello All
I like to suggest as an option for OBS the SimpleScreenRecorder,
what is easier to use, for users didn't take a lot recordings and
I thinkl it's aĺso more light weight.

![[Image: lcZPx8S.png]](http://i.imgur.com/lcZPx8S.png)
Another ting I like to suggest is a list where software colud listed or suggested
and LL users could rate for it if they like that software to be in LL Software.
I think then the needs could be more specified.
Greetings

Dear all,
I just upgrade from version 4 to 5, but something wrong happened in my display. When login all the thing in monitor was scrambled.
![[Image: Wz0Ay7U.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/Wz0Ay7U.jpg)
I tried to boot into recovery mode, then resume to normal mode everything is good. But when rebooted into normal mode the abnormal display was still there.
Please tell me what I have to do to fix this issue.
This is my test command result:

So I have checked for a toggle and all this laptop has is the WiFi symbol on the F2 key; the WiFi "light" is lit. This laptop was donated the other day and the only info I got was that it was his son's used for gaming:
1) Dad felt it was a quality laptop as it cost $1,700 Cdn, but it started to have problems and it was felt (not sure by whom) that it might be the motherboard which was going to be too expensive to fix so the son replaced it.
2) working on it these past 24 hours the only issues I've noticed this far are that the WiFi networks don't show AND it seemed to take AGES for it to do a system restore point (It seemed like 15-20 mins...maybe it wasn't that long, however with RAM of 16GB; HD of 1 TB and either i5 or i7 - I didn't expect it to take that long), it however seems fast otherwise...
3) The dad never said the WiFi wasn't working.
4) When I fired the laptop up the first time before trying my LL USB to trial LL I had to use the WiFi USB to connect also.
5) I have loaded LL 3.8 and done updates via Update Manager (except NOT level 4 & 5).
I've done the following and will take add some screen shots: Here is the imgur link: https://imgur.com/a/CEnk0Qs
1) inxi -n
2) rfkill list
3) sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf then adding wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no then sudo service network-manager restart
4) I have checked for drivers, but never know which one to check or uncheck (will try to include a pic).
I'm currently using a WiFi USB (that is what I was on when I took the pic of the connection info).
Any thoughts? Should I try changing to a different driver choice listed in the one pic?
BTW the reason I loaded LL 3.8 on it rather than something newer is because most of these donated laptops I use for the youth are older so LL 3.8 is perfect. Given the familiarity and also I like systemback I have stuck with this older version.
I usually use Unetbootin to unpack ISO files to a USB, however it was suggested to use Etcher to do this for LLOS 5. I used a 32 GB drive for this which had some files on it, but these were all in folders so the unpacker should have left these alone. Not the case. All of the files were wiped and the remaining space on the drive has been lost. So if you are going to use Etcher, make sure the drive is clean or partitioned. I believe I can eventually get all of this space back by zeroing the drive and reformatting.
