Hi all,

I use my PC mainly as a Kodi box but Kodi will not update. I get the error below but as a complete novice I can't interpret it an know what to do. Can anybody please help

I go to synaptic package manager and I get this message.
"You have 2 broken packages on your system"
I go to the "Broken" filter and it comes up with 2 packages.
1. Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.4.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
2. Generic Linux kernel image

I hilite #1 and it tells me
"You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install
the linux-generic meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work
correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed."

I search "linux-generic meta-package" and a list comes up but not with "meta-package" in it.

Can this be affecting my "Install Updates" which, recently, has had no new updates.

Hi,
I'm new at all this (my first time on the sight and first post).  I installed Linux Lite on a netbook and I am very pleased with it.  I thought I would try to install it on my old Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop.  The installation went along perfectly.  The display looked fine (1024x768 displayed in settings) and everything else seemed to work perfectly afterward.  I decided to clean my hard drive and install Lite on it permanently.  Everything seem to go smoothly until I rebooted.  Rebooting went smoothly except the screen size was small (640x480).  The 640 setting was the only display setup setting listed.  I read where others have had this problem.  I found the same exact issue loading Xubuntu, Lubutu and new Mints.  I found a very old version of Mint that did displayed a full screen.  I don't like Mint as well as I like Lite.

Questions: Can I find and can I load the video driver that is in bedded in the Linux Lite installation software?  Do you have any suggestions?  Note: Linux is very new to me.

The Lite widget keeps saying that last update was 8 days ago. But the laptop is updated.

Hi everyone,
Here is a little application that will help users reset Linux Lite 3.x series Menu.


Whisker Menu Restore will restore shortcuts, applications names and the default Whisker Menu layout in Linux Lite. In the process, it also fixes the bug where users are unable to remove multiple entries from the Whisker menu after uninstalling applications such as libreoffice, simple-scan and others. It also allow users to preserve custom preferences such as Favorites, Recently Used items, Background Opacity, Items and Category icons size, menu hierarchy, menu icon, menu title and even the menu width an height.





To install Whisker Menu Restore, from Terminal:

The vulnerability - CVE-2017-7494 - affects versions 3.5 (released March 1, 2010) and onwards of Samba, the defacto standard for providing Windows-based file and print services on Unix and Linux systems.

1. Make sure to run Menu, Favorites, Install Updates.

2. Open a terminal:

Hi forum.

This is just a minor thing, but so far (on other distros and windows too) I'm used to just press enter key after entering the password. But Linux Lite doesn't respond to Enter key.

I have being looking into the Light Locker Settings menu, but could not find any setting for that particular issue.

Is it possible to choose another variant of login screen in Linux Lite, or perhaps some tweak to make the Enter button to work?

Thanks in advance

I used Save Session on exit and logged out. Then I logged back in. Cannot find any way to restore the session nor anything in Help Manual.


Some threads online say this is no longer possible with 16.04. And yet there is a menu item in Lite Tweaks to 'Manage Save Session'. I opened that but already have the default option activated and didn't change anything. (enable save session for all users)


Please advise; thank you.

I got a TP-Link AC450 Model no. Archer T1U
I have been searching to get it working on Linux Lite 3.4 but up till now no luck.
Can anyone give me a hand on how to get it working? Or isnt it going to work on Linux Lite?

Thanks for the helping hands.
