I'm working on a chromebook on which I have loaded LL3.4 and when I tried to shut down yesterday this message popped up:
Received error while trying to log out
Session manager must be in idle state when requesting a shutdown
I have not done anything with sessions on this notebook and am wondering what I do to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Janet

Hello everyone. My story.
For the past decade or so I've been using mac OSX on various iMac and Macbooks.
Then back in March this year the graphics card failed on the expensive Macbook Pro which was of course just out of warranty by a few weeks >
A replacement was going to cost crazy cash and I was becoming disillusioned with the locked down Apple ethos, so I started looking for a refurbished PCs running Windows 10 and after some research settled on a Thinkpad, a 2012 model X220 and the last to use the classic IBM style thinkpad keyboard but a still new-ish core i5 processor. Popped in the 8gb of ram and 1TB SSD from the old Macbook and I was a happy bunny. This like-new Thinkpad cost me $220. Having been away from windows for many years, I must say that Windows 10 is a pretty decent operating system - but oh they want to know everything, and it's invasive, and you can't stop auto updates...... far from ideal.
A friend suggested Linux so I've spent the past 2 months trying out the different flavors but mainly KDE Neon (nice), Mint Cinnamon (nice but limiting) Manjaro KDE (bios errors/fail) Deepin (lovely but resource hungry), and Antergos (Gnome). Of the bunch, Antergos worked really well but as someone new to Linux but not a computer newbe the rolling release Arch base left me uneasy. Countless daily update notifications means that something was bound to break sooner rather than later. I'd prefer a more stable platform.
So I happened across a Youtube review of Linux Lite and as I'd not yet experienced XFCE decided to install a copy.
Well this really is light on resources but certainly not light on features. I was very pleasantly surprised at just how customizable this is, and with a nice set of flat Papyrus icons installed and a dark theme, Lite looks very sharp indeed.
It flies along on this Thinkpad which actually runs cooler and with about an additional 1 hour of battery life compared to something like Deepin or Neon.
Well done Jerry and the team!
Rob

| How much space on HD does LL 3.4 take? |

I have put LL 3.4 on two Chromebooks both have 2GB RAM and only 16 GB HD (or I guess accurately they have SSD).
On the one on which I am setting things up I noticed that when I do the df -h in terminal to see how much space I have unused it "appears" that I am currently at 92% full. Is this possible?
I had continued to do updates since initially installing LL 3.4 and when I tried to load Ktouch a typing program it indicated not enough room (when I checked df -h then it said 99%) so I went back to an earlier restore point and it read 86%.
So my two questions are:
1) is it possible that with the updates it is now taking about 14-15 GB?
2) Should I stop doing updates as might "not completely updating" cause more of an issue than not updating?
I'm not too concerned about high school study stuff as I had already figured I would use a small 32 GB USB (the short ones so it doesn't stick out) and leave it always attached.

Hi guys,
I don't know if this is a weird question but I'm curious if Jerry and the team have long-term ambitions or goals that they can share with us. As a relatively new but big fan of Linux Lite I would like more users to try this distro and embrace it. I'd like to see it's ranking rise on distrowatch.
Another weird question along those lines... I don't know how the development teams of all these distros operate but I was wondering if smaller but similar distros ever merged to compete with larger distros. For example, (not that I want anything about LL to change at all) could there ever come a day when Linux Lite and Xubuntu merge? DISCLAMER- I know almost nothing about Xubuntu other than it's based on Ubuntu and uses the xfce desktop.
Thanks

| Recover a deleted directory |

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! 
I need some help here please, I accidentally deleted x86_64-linux-gnu directory from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and now nothing works; no thunar, no browsers...I'm writing from a live session and tried to recover the directory with extundelete by following instructions from here: http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/ but when trying Code: sudo mount -o remount,ro /dev/sdb5
I get the error Code: mount: /dev/sdb5 not mounted or bad option
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.
So, as instructions explained I simply unmounted the partition and ran Code: sudo extundelete /dev/sdb5 --restore-directory /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
but I got Code: extundelete: Bad magic number in super-block when trying to open filesystem /dev/sdb5
I also tried with gparted >device> attemp to rescue data option but it didn't work. I have performed all of this actions from the live session, haven't written anything on the disk since folder was deleted cause I know there are more chances of recovering the data that way. Can I recover that folder? or will I have to reinstall LL?
Any help/advice is really appreciated. Thanks!

I just realized that my install of SeaMonkey 2.49.1 doesn't have Java as a plugin. I know you have to create a symlink for Java to work in SeaMonkey, but I'm at a loss as to how to do it. Can anybody assist?
