Something strange: I changed my password in Lite User Manager to one incorporating $ * and = characters. When I tried to login again it was not recognised, but there had been a change of password. I checked Num Lock and I even typed the password in as a user name so that I could see it and then copied and pasted it into the password box of my user name, but it wasn't recognised.
I then followed the Help tip in Lite User Manager and entered the password in with the passwd command and it worked fine. So I'm figuring that there must be something unusual going on with Lite User Manager. Alpha passwords seem OK, though I did only use very short passwords for that.
I'm still on 3.4 at present and this is a single boot installation.
Not a pressing matter but I thought it worth raising.

I installed pychess from synaptic, it works great, except the fact that it doesn't has any sounds, the sound on my system works fine otherwise in all the apps, vlc, youtube etc. but not in pychess, any solution for this?

Also, before anyone asks, my system is up to date.

Chromium asks for my password via the keyring prompt window when I start Chromium.  How do I get rid of that window.

I'm not sure this is the best place to report documentation errors but I'm giving it a try.

I found an error in the latest Linux Lite3.6 64bit ISO help manual that needs to be fixed.  Under Install the manual states:

The computer will go through the boot up process, this may take anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of minutes depending on your hardware. The login for the Live user is automatic, there is no need to login. If for some reason you need to login, simply type in linux beneath Other and click on Log In (no password required).

I found running Linux Lite3.6 live from a multibootusb stick created using multibootusb R8.8 under LL3.4 with 259MB persistance (32MB inadequate) that the user-id 'linux' does not work when prompted to log in (Live automatic login didn't work).  The user-id required to login under Linux Lite3.6 is 'ubuntu' with a blank password field.  Someone should fix this for those who don't want to clobber their entire USB stick to install Lite3.6.

I have a Dell XPS M1210  Here is the error log. Thanks

After much ado i put LL on my Acer aspire one recently but I'm getting increasing problems with Libre office, which i use a lot on this m/c. it's not saving files properly to USB sticks, & they're coming up as corupt files when i try reaccess or read only if i do access or are coming up as locked. also when typing there is a big delay for the text to appear on screen & only does so when i puase. the fan works hard while i'm using it. i'm getting most problems if i swap the USB stick between the acer & my win 10 laptop which has openoffice 4. I was thinking that if i reinstall it that might fix it but i don't know how. i tried from the menu but got error messages. is there a simple commandline i can use?

Encountered this update error for the first time today during my daily update procedure:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault.

We're currently working on the issue. I'll delete this thread after services return to normal. During this period, you may not be able to receive any updates.

We apologize for this inconvenience.

Can the resolution of the login screen be adjusted to fit the entire screen, like the desktop one? I guess it has something to do with Nvidia settings, but fiddling with my "Nvidia Xserver Settings" from Menu->System does not do it. Any ideas?

Thanks.

There seems to be a lot of questions about wifi lately. What follows here are a few simple things to keep in mind when, and to do first, when asking about wifi problems.

1) Please remember that Linux wifi is in a constant state of improvement. Support is constantly changing.

2) If you are looking for pci card support for LL, please open a terminal and run this command first:  lspci -vnn | grep 14e4

3) Go to this link:  https://wikidevi.com/wiki/List_of_Wi-Fi_...s_in_Linux  and look for the id that matches your card.

4) Drivers list here:  https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers

5) If you are using USB  rt2800usb  is the most widely supported. Panda wireless runs this chip and is basically plug and play in Linux.

This is the up to date (not archived ) Linux wireless page:  https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users
