Brand new to linux and I can't remember how to install software while running under a non admin account. My admin's name is billy-johnson but running

sudo -u billy-johnson apt install apt-transport-https curl

just prompts me for the sudo password for my current account (which doesn't exist because my current account is a limited account not a administrators)

I don't see any option in the mouse settings area about how to change this.  Thanks

(I keep hitting it accidentally while typing on my tiny netbook)  Smile

Thank You

I'd like to set a system restore backup point, is there any way to do this without the first screen that pops up in Linux Lite?

I was trying to customize my taskbar and now it is shifted all the way to the left side, including my clock and battery percentage.  I tried to look up info online and only got answers that didn't help.  I got answers like: "use a separator" or "make sure automatically increase length is selected".  Those answers make sense, but I already have all that stuff set.

for example:
-I do have a separator set up just before the clock (to the the left of the battery area)
    (no matter where I put the separator, it doesn't help)
-I do have "automatically increase length selected in panel options (turning it on or off doesn't help)

ps- in the past when I had issues like this, I'd just reinstall the entire OS, but I'd very much like to make this work without a flippin' reinstall.  Just about every linux distro i've tried before gives me all kinds of problems like this, or something else.  I'm trying to set up this computer for a friend, but am now wondering if that's a good idea, if it breaks on me day one.

Thanks

Edit- I fixed it.  I just needed to try everything under the sun, but it now works.  I wish that things like this were more clear on how to use it on Linux distros

So I'm retiring my old server, a HP DL380 G4 with Windows Server 2012, at my home.

I bought a used dell poweredge R330 w/ xeon 1270 v5 and 16GB of ECC ram for dirt cheap since the casing was damaged on the back but does not impact the server at all.  It only has 4x 3.5 sas hotswap bays on the front.  No big deal.  Very quiet 1u server, a rarity.

I updated all bios and firmware for ALL hardware, including the power supplies firmware.

It does have one internal usb port though and instead of wasting the 4x 6TB SAS3 drives I have, why not throw the OS onto a 64GB USB stick I have laying around.

Any advice on installing the OS onto the USB stick?  Things I should do or not do?

I have had the below message after updates failed. It suggests I post here.


I am currently on 3.6 but considering moving to 5 but not sure if I have to move through the different versions one by one. I am concerned that I may lose all my opera bookmark settings in the order they are displayed if I change?


Many thanks in advance for any help given
