I was wondering the other day how security works with LL and the privileges/access to computer that the password provides.
LL has 1 password which is used to login with - the same password is used as a root/admin password. How does that work? Surely having the same password for both means that the distro is therefore vulnerable as permission is given, following logon, for anything out there to make changes to your computer ... ???
Comparing with two other distros that I have been using:
PCLinuxOS has 3 passwords: a Security password (for allowing changes to grub); a Root or Admin password, and a separate Login password.
Manjaro has 2 passwords: one for Login and one for Root/Admin privileges.

In anticipation of Linux Lite 4 LTS, I have made myself another boot splash:

Linux Lite updates starts but then says "updates have been canceled"
it started breaking after i installed a ricoh printer
workaround
aptitude (as root) or synaptic (as root) work fine on their own but do display a warning

I have a Virtual Machine that I haven't used in awile that is still on v3.4 that I wan't to update to 3.8. The Updates on 3.4 fail, so I decided to install v3.8 on top of 3.4 which seemed to work fine, except that I can't update v3.8 due to problems with the program sources. I've attached a copy of the error log in the event that it helps, but I'm wondering I can get a copy of the correct sources from somewhere and replace them. I don't recall adding any PPAs that were non-standard to this install.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.

I have an old Dell Inspiron 1100 which has an issue displaying only a partial screen once I install Linux distros. This AM I installed Linux Lite and experienced the same problem. Not familiar with this software, and working in 1/4 of the normal screen, I stumbled into Settings Editor and manually changed the resolution from 640x480 to 1024x768. I then rebooted and ended up with a black screen.
I forced a restart and booted into recovery which started up and displayed 1024x768. Thought everything was good ... but on a second restart, found that normal boot ends up with a black screen.
How might I correct the problem I created in xfconf? Secondly, any ideas how I might resolve the original problem with the partial screen display?
Thank you in advance ...
How long will Linux Lite 4.X be supported?
Curious as to whether Linux Lite could work on Orange Pi? (Specifically, the Orange Pi Plus 2E http://www.orangepi.org/orangepiplus2e/ ? ) It supports Ubuntu, so I was wondering. Would appreciate any info anyone could provide. Thanks.
