Hello,
I am a newbie, not familiar with code, or even terminal commands.
I tried to update the Linuxlite 3.4 64 bit by following the instructions in the help manual.
I would really appreciate any help. Thank you so much in advance.This is what I entered in the terminal:
radel-jpn@radeljpn-HP-Pavilion-dm4-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo apt-get update
[sudo] password for radel-jpn: [code]
This is the output:

I'm trying to learn Python3 from the book Learn Python 3 the Hard Way and find it hard going especially when the code keeps on displaying an error. Take for instance, exercise 20.
# ex20: Functions and Files
from sys import argv
script, input_file = argv
def print_all(f): print(f.read())
def rewind(f): f.seek(0)
def print_a_line(line_count, f): print(line_count, f.readline())
current_file = open(input_file)
print("First let's print the whole file:\n")
print_all(current_file)
print("Now let's rewind, kind of like a tape.")
rewind(current_file)
print("Let's print three lines:")
current_line = 1 print_a_line(current_line, current_file)
current_line = current_line + 1 print_a_line(current_line, current_file)
current_line = current_line + 1 print_a_line(current_line, current_file)colin@my_new_LinuxLite4.0:~$ python3 ~/python_exp/ex20.pyTraceback (most recent call last): File "/home/colin/python_exp/ex20.py", line 7, in <module> script, input_file = argvValueError: not enough vales to unpack (expected 2, got 1)colin@my_new_LinuxLite4.0:~$
Let me give some back ground and also clarify my question(s):
I typically struggle to collect older laptops to take with me to South Africa for academic use with youth in my study groups. These older laptops vary from 512 mb - 2 GB RAM and HDs from 16 GB to 300 GB. They are usually 2005 - 2012 era 
This year the accounting firm that we use, having heard about our work in SA, have very kindly and eagerly offered to provide me with laptops they are rotating out. This occurs on an annual basis and thus should hopefully continue in future.
I do not yet have any of these computers thus don't know the exact specs however they could be either Core i3, i5 or i7; 4 GB RAM; HD 320 - 500 GB.
Once wiped I don't know if they will come with an OS on them or not. If they have NO OS on them then these questions are a moot point as I will simply load LL 3.8 or 4.0, however if they come with Windows 7 pro or up here is my dilema:
I WANT to run Linux Lite on the computers the high school youth use as:
(a) it as been problem free so far with regards to any viruses or even other issues I have had in the past running Windows XP.
(b) it is not easy for the youth to download programs thus decreasing possible problem issues.
© can't play windows games (call me boring )
I don't think I want to dual boot - as I don't know the implication regarding viruses if also running windows (I DON"T want any unwanted problems/issues) AND I also don't want the youth deciding to boot into Windows. HOWEVER, youth that continue on to university with these laptops may ideally wish to run a Windows OS.
So IF these laptops come with a Windows OS on them my questions are:
1) Does it make sense to create a recovery ISO right from day 1 for each of the laptops and locate/document the Product Key, THEN load Linux Lite knowing that I/they can revert to Windows in future from the Recovery ISO?
2) Does a Windows Recovery ISO mean that it includes everything (OS AND Drivers) if made from and used on the same computer or even model? I am really not interested in locating and installing drivers...
3) As long as all these computers are the same, can the same Windows ISO be used on all the laptops or will the Recovery ISO from each of the laptops be slightly different and therefore it be best to have one from and for each laptop?
4) Is there something obvious I am missing or not understanding about dual booting that would permit me to leave a Windows OS on the laptops YET would
(a) ONLY permit the user using the Linux OS?
(b) and protect from any viruses affecting the Windows OS when using LL?
I have googled about making Recovery disks, but I believe perhaps it is not as straight forward as it might appear in terms of drivers, etc. So my apologies up front for what may be very basic questions ;D
Hi, all,
Just another thank you to everybody for such a wonderful OS and distro.
I've just successfully installed my printer without any issue whatsoever. Smooth as silk!
What a wonderful, wonderful experience LL is!
Thank you!

Hi to all from a Portuguese living in Brazil.
It's my first Linux Lite installation (4.0) and I'm loving it.
Thank you Dev's for this great release.

Dear all - can anyone recommend a cloud backup provider / software that runs in Linux? I've been using Arq together with Amazon Web Services for my Macbook and OneDrive for my Windows machine. Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi. I'm using Linux Lite 3.8. I prefer Evolution as my pim as it's comprehensive and quick.
Since the repos have Evolution version 3.18, there's a problem syncing Google contacts -- something about how Google has changed the way they allow authorization, or some such thing. Has anyone figured out a way to get around this? I know that much later versions of Evolution have a problem, too, and it's solved if you're using the Gnome desktop with gnome-online-accounts connecting for you.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
As far as I can see i've got all things set on my laptop and pc to let them transfer files if needed. But I can't get around the "Liteshare" login screen.
What did I miss or forget. It can't be that hard. Can it?
