I've been running a Windows OS virtual machine for a while on an LL host.

When I set up the VM, the only runtimes that seems to have installed appears to be 'Silverlight' and ~net 4.6.1 (or an earlier version). 

Therefore, do I need to download & install other 'runtimes' for the VM (e.g.  Java 8, ~.net 4.6.2, Air & Shockwave) or does the VM's software take over and replace these?

I have searched the internet but haven't found an answer to this - does anyone know?

Many thanks for any help...

Today I upgraded our repository server that serves all our Lite Software and ISO releases.
I'm pleased to report the upgrade went very smoothly. This will now serve us through to April 2019.

On Jan 1st 2017, Ubuntu are strengthening APT repositories by ditching SHA-1. I've already corrected our repo in anticipation for this change, that's not to say there may be an issue or two come Jan 1st with updates. This is just a heads-up in-case Install Updates fail on that day. I'll be monitoring everything extremely closely and be poised to pounce if anything needs adjusting.

More info on that here - http://news.softpedia.com/news/ubuntu-to...0462.shtml

Ever since I removed Google Chrome and MySQL a few weeks ago, the software updater has been telling me that there are "No Updates Available".

In order to fully purge that pesky MySQL I found some esoteric commands on the Ubuntu site (no, I don't remember) and I think I may have affected the update sources or done something else nasty.

Is there any way to return the update function to its "default" settings without having to reinstall LL altogether?

llupdates.log shows no record when I attempt updates now.

So..I got an infected file--I scanned it via clamscan. Is there a way to know what is the infected file? And what should I do to remove it?

This error is safe to ignore, but if you want to get rid of the message:

Code:
N: Ignoring file '20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension

When running sudo apt-get update from the terminal, this is the simple fix:

Code:
sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist

I'm going to spend some time between now and 3.4 to add to the Help Manual. If there is anything I have overlooked, please let me know in this thread.

- An example of a good suggestion - the recent "Lite Software - Change Repository Location" suggestion from another thread.
- An example of a bad suggestion - "Please include a tutorial for installing KDE"

Any suggestion must be relevant to what we already offer.

Thank you Smile
