Have just installed Linux Lite 3.6 and it seems to this oldman that the OS just seems to be getting better and better all the time. Outstanding work by everyone yet again. Big thanks!

I've not updated for a week but when I tried to do so today I got the following message:

Install Updates Error log
===========================
Install Updates could not successfully download and install available updates.
Go to https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/ and paste the log below into a new or existing thread for assistance.

============ Log ===========

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

I tried logging out and then backin again but got the same message.

Suggestions on how to tackle it would be much appreciated, thank you

hey guys im currently looking for an server but i am in an confusing bind. im looking to at Lenvno, thinkpenguin plus system76. almost for forgot Zareason. the lenvno is cheaper and is on Amazon. but i need to know the hardware sturdiness. the zareasons i got are ok but the hardware kinda bad.

Upgrade to LL3.6 from LL3.4 on eeePC 901 went ok, but I now find that Remmina 1.1.2 SFTP crashes into oblivion after entering the remote PCs SSH password. Remote desktop and SSH login both work ok.

The Remmina debug window indicates a segmentation fault after the password is entered.
I have purged Remmina and re-installed a few times with no success. Anyone else seeing this problem?

Update:
According to github, Remmina 1.1 is no longer supported so I removed it and installed 1.2 from the apps repository. But it has the same problem, segmentation fault when SFTP plugin is used.

I'm going to pose this question primarily to the developers, but any of you guys with loads of Linux knowledge chip in too. Over the years that I have run some flavor of Linux, there has always been a mild disagreement over whether or not to do a version upgrade. The three trains of thought are, 1) Never do an upgrade if your computer is running just fine, 2) Doing upgrades is the smartest thing you can do because of improvements to the distro, and 3) Only do an upgrade if it is a major release version as in from 3.4 to 4.0.

So what do you developers think the is the right thing to do? My laptop is running so smoothly I'd sure hate to do anything to jinx that. Any and all opinions welcome here.

Hello,

following on from the music A-Z tip.
I learned a new trick for creating the year folders from "The Linux Command Line" book.
To this I then added in months by number, and the A-Z as used for music tip, to create efficient photo directories.

Open your terminal using the icon in the panel, or by holding down Ctrl and Alt keys then pressing t, (Ctrl+Alt+t)

Change to Pictures folder

Hello people.

I have installed Ll 3.4 32bit and I want to move to 3.6. How are the steps to update the system from the internet?

I'm new to using linux, and I do not know many commands.

Hi all

I am relatively new to Linux Lite (I used Ubuntu previously but found it too bloated). I had no problems before but when the internet connection was upgraded, all other devices had internet access except for my laptop, which was running Linux Lite. But the temporary solution that worked was using a Linux Lite Live USB, in which my laptop was able to access the internet. So I thought maybe I needed to reinstall Linux Lite. Which I did. But now I still have no internet access. I can connect to the home network on both wifi and LAN cable, but no internet access.

So far, I've searched for solutions online and found they did not work for me. I've tried disabling the firewall, still no internet.

I can ping 8.8.8.8, the router, and google.com, no problem. But when I perform 'host www.google.com' on the terminal, I get the result ';;connection timed out; no servers could be reached'.

I would be very grateful for any help. Thanks a lot and have a nice day.
