Thank you in advance,

I had a recommendation to install LinuxLite to Pen drive as a portable OS.

Really bad idea.

The installation seems to have worked but my 500G HD from which I was dual booting has had its partition table removed.

I'm really angry right now as I have spent 2 days trying to recover data, so far without success.

Al abrir Lite Wellcome la ventana se queda en blanco y no visualizada nada!
No sé hay que reinstalar del el emulador de la terminal con
sudo apt install --reinstall lite-welcome
para arreglar el problema.

Es un problema que atañe a las actualizaciones

sudo apt install --reinstall lite-welcome No soluciona el pronlema

Updating software from noble-backports can break this distribution?

After having installed Linux Lite 7 I found it - to be honest - quite annoying, that the desktop is not configured as in the Live System (after reboot it has a, to say the least, unpleasant appearance with two panels etc.). Why is that?

I managed to configure almost everything, the only question remains: How to get the "Linux Lite Terminal" exactly as it was in the Live System? Is there a configuration file somewhere? Now I have only the ordinary Xfce-Terminal. Not a big thing, but would be nice to have the Linux Lite appearance.

I have just installed LL 7.0. I have a USB drive, Seagate, that has 2 partitions on it. one is ext 4, the other NTFS.

When I plug the USB drive in, the ext 4 is recognized and is usable straight up. The NTFS partition is not.

The message for the error is
" wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing code page or helper program, or other error"

If I load disks and try and mount the partition there, I get the same error.

HOWEVER:
I am able to mount via the commend line.  ???
If i use sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/        . It will load and be usable.

The ownership of the drive is all.

Any advise / help would be greatly appreciated.

I am not a Linux expert, so please do keep it simple if you are able to help.

H.

Always when i start game launcher demands newer NVIDIA driver than exist in distro repository. Downloading newer version from NVIDIA site and installing it will cause problems?

Snapd and Thunderbird removal

As you probably noticed, Thunderbird is available through a forced install of Snap (snapd service).
To get rid of this, open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy/paste:


This command, will trigger also the removal of Thunderbird. That is what I did.

Or:



Installing Thunderbird from Mozilla PPA

Enter the following code into the Terminal:


Now, let’s prepare the installation of Thunderbird. Copy and Paste exactly the entire code from below:


To execute the code, you will be asked for the super password. Type it into the terminal.
