Hi,

I'm writing a small desktop plugin app for LL and I have a question for LL 3.6 and 3.8 users.
(I guess there is no 3.7 version...)

If you are using either version, can you please run the terminal command:

Code:
cat /etc/lsb-release
and post the output here? Thank you in advance!

So recently I've noticed 'lite-updates' won't run and shout at me that there's no internet connection even though there actually is.
After digging in the internet I was led into that post from Nov' 17 where Jerry uploaded a script for updates-gui
I've noticed the script contains a connection check:

Code:
# Check Internet access if eval "curl -sk google.com" >> /dev/null 2>&1; then :; else # Prompt ERROR internet connection check failed and exit   yad --center --borders=15 --info --width="320" --height="120" --window-icon="$_ICON" --button=gtk-ok:1 --title="$_APPNAME" \         --text="\n<b>Your computer is not connected to the Internet.</b> \n \nLinux Lite cannot check for Updates.\nPlease check your internet connection and try again.\n" --text-align center 2>/dev/null   rm_temp_files; exit 0 fi

So I tried running the check myself. I did:
Code:
curl -sk google.com
Only to found out that 'curl' has been removed from my system and the output of the command didn't evaluated to TRUE  Sad

In my case the fix was just reinstall it:
Code:
sudo apt-get install curl

This is the second time this is happened to me, sometimes 'curl' get removed when upgrading or installing software that don't need curl as a dependency and overrides it with different version of curl (libcurl3 something?)

I don't know if its a bug but maybe there's a better way to check for internet connection than 'curl'?

I'm trying to get the absolute value of an integer on my LL 4.0 machine. I'd like to use it in the command line. I looked up the man pages for the abs command, and it comes up there. But when I try to use the abs command, it says:
Command 'abs' not found, did you mean...
Then it lists some other things.

I'm puzzled why abs comes up in man pages but it won't work on command-line.

Anyway, the problem is, I can't find how to actually get the absolute value of an integer.  Is there a different method I should use?

I have a capable 32-bit Surface 2 tablet whose OS has been abandoned by Microsoft [Windows 8.1 RT]. Has anyone installed Linux Lite on this now-legacy Surface? It's got an excellent display (NVIDIA), 2 Gb RaM and i think an adequate chip.

Hi;a question and suggestion:Most Linux versions I have tried so far had in the ISO version, I mean the first GRUB menu that is loaded, an entry to directly install to the disc drive.
I have that situation very often when I KNOW that I want to install LL on an older computer that I am refurbishing.Can that option be included in LL?TIA

I mistakenly deleted the Settings option from the menu.  Please tell me how I can get it back.
Thanks,
