Have tried several times to install smplayer from the repository using
Synaptic without any luck.  Below is the error message I get:

Selecting previously unselected package smplayer.
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
reading files list for package 'qml-module-qtquick-dialogs:amd64': Input/output error
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:

Thanks

I didn't realize that 12 GB out my 64 GB SSD was taken for a swap drive when I installed Linux Lite.  Does anyone know how I can delete that?  My PC has 12 GB ram which is a lot for Linux Lite so I would probably never need the swap drive anyway.  Thanks for any help.

I recently installed LL without any problems. As I was installing, it correctly found that I am in the UK and it suggested London for the time zone. Fine. However, when I checked later by running locale in a terminal screen, I found that the locale was set to the US. I had to change it to en_GB myself. Then, of course, I found that the Orage calendar was now showing Monday as the first day of the week. I like my weeks to start on a Sunday, so I had to change that too.

But my main query is, having found the correct time zone for me during installation, why did the installer set my locale to the US?

OK I posted here not to long ago about an update install error. Here I am again with a different computer with linux lite doing the same thing, but this time the error is this, "Linux Lite Updates couldn't fetch the package cache information lists".
I did the three terminal commands that Torreydale gave me for the last problem I had with update errors. The commands seemed to be working in the terminal, so I restarted the computer and tried the updates again. They did the same thing as above. What should I do?

I've installed Linux Lite on a PC of a colleague. He was happy, but the sound doesn't work. Tomorrow I will visit this colleague to fix the problem. Unfortunatelly I've not the details of the system now. Only this facts, I've saved on my computer:

Quote:Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU [email protected] GHz
3.00GHz.2.00 GB RAM

I'm a volunteer for a Corporation that gives, at no cost, refurbished computer hardware to individuals, schools, veterans, etc.. As for my part, my background is IT with a focus on switching/routing (the COMM Closet end of the wire) and I enjoy, immensely, cherry picking through the donated non-desktop hardware for candidate pieces to offer for sale to help generate some revenue for our operations.

For servers, I've been using a few live linux distros to quickly verify if they are operational or not. I saw the release notice for Linux Lite 3.4 and thought I'd give it a try. What an excellent put together distro. I booted a ten year old Dell PowerEdge 1950 (2007) with two dual core Xeons, 8GB ram, PERC 5/i RAID controller & 2 SAS drives. So maybe I've found a "go to" distro for our needs. It's nice it "sees" the NAS shares on the network out of the box and supports the USB sound adapter I've installed to verify/test sound. I've just started exploring it and maybe it's time to settle on one.

Thanks,

Hello.

I've given LL a small partition of 2 GB for home, because I use a larger partition for the user files from different linux installations. But the home of LL is running out of space. So I've tried to resize it. I 've copied the hole partition as backup:

Support for Linux Lite Series 1.x has ended today.

That means there are no more updates for your computer and no support for any issues you may be having.
Members - if new or existing people come in and ask for support, please make them aware of this.

If you are running Series 1.x back up your files and consider moving to Linux Lite Series 2.x or 3.x - https://www.linuxliteos.com/download.php

Thank you for trying and running Linux Lite 1.x, we hope that it served you well

Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum but not new to Linux, but by no means am I an expert.  I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen this problem before.

After installing update to Linux lite, I reboot and when linux loads, I have no wifi. After a lot of playing around I discover that if I shutdown the pc, pull the battery, and then remove power for a couple of minutes, then boot I will have wifi with no problems. but if I do a restart from the log out screen the wifi will not work. I have searched Google for a month or more but I have not found any answers. When the wifi doesn't work, the access point says "Not Authorized". I have tried setting it with ifconfig and iwconfig and of course it doesn't even recognized. But if I do a shut down, pull battery, disconnect power, wait a couple of minutes then boot the PC. I will have wifi when it boots up.

This problem appeared after the last updates but why would pulling power before booting give me wifi but if I restart the pc wifi doesn't work ?  It has me pulling my hair out not being able to fix this problem.

What am I over looking or missing here ? Anyone else ever run into this.  The PC is a HP Sleekbook,    4x AMD A8-4555M APU with Radeon™ HD Graphics, Memory 5570MB (856MB used), running Linux Lite 3.2.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
