| Login Loop VM (Bhyve) |

Hi All, i just joined, but been using linux lite in a VM hosted on my FreeNAS for about 9 months, and up until now has worked flawlessly, but im now stuck in a login loop, and to make things worse i cant seem to trouble shoot as i cant launch terminal from login screen. My VM usually automatically logs in anyway so not sure how it got here :o :o :o
couple nights back i had to hard power off the VM as it froze (well was running superslow), then upon reboot (after rebooting NAS host too) the VM went to the login screen which, as mentioned, was unusual, but has since gone into the login loop. I tried getting terminal up via ctrl and f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, an T, then ctrl+alt with the same buttons AND ctrl+shift, and nothing, but not really confident with terminal, ive just been googling possible solutions but most content is for ubuntu
Anyway, any solutions would be a massive help, cheers

| L Lite Won't Auto-sign In The WiFi |

Whenever I reboot (cold, restart, hibernate) I have to enter my router password.
Is there any place to set the password that L Lite can find and use it?
Every time I enter the password, I get a newly enumerated connection - right now I am on connection #122.
That's just odd I think.
It's not a game-breaker - just bothersome.
TIA.

| Thunar browsing performance implementation - errors on gvfs |

I have been puzzling over errors in .xsession-errors - esp.
Code: This tool has been deprecated, use 'gio mount' instead.
See 'gio help mount' for more info.
gio: file:///home/robin/%3E: volume doesn’t implement mount
gio: file:///dev/null: volume doesn’t implement mount
gio: file:///home/robin/&&: volume doesn’t implement mount
gio: file:///home/robin/gvfs-ls: volume doesn’t implement mount
gio: file:///home/robin/%3E: volume doesn’t implement mount
gio: file:///dev/null: volume doesn’t implement mount
I found that in Session and Startup it's running Thunar browsing performance implementation which calls
Code: gvfs-mount network: > /dev/null && gvfs-ls network: > /dev/null
Running that in terminal produced the deprecated error as above.
If instead I run
Code: gio mount network: > /dev/null && gvfs-ls network: > /dev/null
Code: gio: file:///home/robin/%3E: volume doesn’t implement mount
gio: file:///dev/null: volume doesn’t implement mount
gio: file:///home/robin/&&: volume doesn’t implement mount
gio: file:///home/robin/gvfs-ls: volume doesn’t implement mount
gio: file:///home/robin/%3E: volume doesn’t implement mount
gio: file:///dev/null: volume doesn’t implement mount
[b]gio: network:///: Location is already mounted
gio: network:///: Location is already mounted[/b]
As it happens I have no interest in the network side, just hadn't switched this off in Session and Startup - not sure if it's a bug, but I have tracked down a number of posts about xdg being deprecated.

| New Install Won't Composite |

Hello,
Once I got Lite up and running, I moved the tool bar to the top and then installed Cairo-Dock. However, it's framed by a very large black box. When a dialog box opened asking if I wanted to enable compositing, I clicked on the green check, but then the dock went away. I checked the Compiz icon, but compositing is turned on mywegmansconnect. It's also turned on in the Cairo-Dock control panel. I'm using an old nVidia 5200 video card. Does that card not have enough horsepower to composite
thanks

I hope this is the correct place to put this information - I'm new here and I'm also very old so there's that too.
Anyway - I've had a lot of trouble getting one of my favorite WiFi dongles to run in most any Linux distro. Now that I'm back in Ubuntu - I found a few command lines that work (worked, actually) here.
I have an Alfa unit, but I reserve that for my Raspberry Pi.
Anyway -I had to go to ARCH and kinda co-mingle some code, but it works even if it's not pretty. This is a mashup of Ubuntu-slash-Ubuntu Budgie that in and of themselves, didn't have the answer I needed.
Inside an ARCH wiki, I found several lines of code - none of them actually worked either but they gave me a hint of where it was I needed to go.
Since ARCH is a lot like Linux but just another branch, I suspected that the repositories that Budgie suggested were wrong. They said "sysfrank" was correct. It is not.
Here goes:
Code: sudo apt install dkms
git clone htps://github.com/zebulon2/rtl8812au.git
cd ./rtl8812au
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
Some of these lines may get a notice that it is already installed, and/or is the latest version and is ignored. You should ignore any of those and just keep plodding along entering each line and hitting ENTER after each one. I know that's messy, but I don't assume that anything I need is pre-installed so I just try to force it in again.
Plug in your dongle* and it should be working without a reboot - but if not, just reboot anyway.
- * I'm not sure what a 'dongle' qualifies as since mine doesn't dongle, dingle or droop. It's a USB stick-thingy with an antenna. Your results may vary.

| Catfish file search - updating data base asking for authentication as superuser |

I'm loving the file search DeepThought told me about and using it a lot.
Today on one of the laptops I'm readying for a youth had message at the top saying "the data base hasn't been updated for more than 7 days, update now?" So I clicked on it.
A message indicated it needed to be refreshed and this required administrator privileges and authentication as super user so I entered the pw I set for Administrator (it is the only pw I have ever entered for the system). It doesn't accept my pw, is there a specific superuser pw that I have not set myself of which I am not aware?
What do I need to do?

| Ethernet Not Working, Intel e1000e 82578DC rev 06 |

Just did an LL install on a Win7 box and now we have no ethernet access. Fortunately, we have wifi working on it.
Here's what I got:
Code: lspci | grep -i ethernet
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection (rev 06)
I tried googling it, but I couldn't find any simple instructions that work. Intel has a driver here:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloa...duct=55351
but, even with some nix experience, I couldn't follow the instructions. They talk about building an .rpm, but I've been a .deb guy for way too many years.
I tried the instructions here:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...ducts.html
Here's what I got:
Code: root … > Downloads > e1000e-3.6.0 > src make install
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.15.0-66-generic'

Does anybody know a simple step by step guide to make this work on LL?
Thank you.
