Hi Jerry,

Still seeing the Google Chrome update error hitting people, reading complex solutions suggested (although the easy solution is linked on top of each Forum's page) and thoughts about such situations in general I would like to suggest the following:

  1. Create a website of Highly Important Announcements. Possible locations:
  • Security & Bug Fixes here on the Forum, BUT ONLY IF it gets cleaned out and posting there gets restricted to yourself and the team.
  • a special page in the Help Manual
  • a website hosted on linuxliteos.com

  1. Place a link to this website
  • on "Welcome to Linux Lite" on top of the "Start Here" category. I would even suggest a duplicate under "Support".
  • into the Help Manual if the page is not hosted within.
  • into the Menu under "System" and "Favorites".
This would give you the defined possibility/ process to communicate with the users - as long as they have internet access that is - even if the update process is screwed.
The icing on the cake would be to have a script running at a specified time to check for changes that have not been acknowledged by the user yet. If a change gets detected a pop up window would be presented to the user. Maybe it could be part of Shaggy's Lite-Updater... Smile

Thanks for your consideration Smile

Sometimes when I reboot, the problem (red circle with with red diagonal line) returns.  And when I go to Application Autostart, I see the Dropbox entry that I removed has returned.  So to continue the workaround, I remove it again, logout, and then log back on.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm not completely new to Linux, I run a different distro on my main (newer) computer, but I've only been doing that for about 6 months so I'm still a noob.

Now I'm looking for a distro to salvage my old Pentium 4, XP machine and after trying the Live version of a few 'lite' distro's I've settled on Linux Lite. I've got an evening of fun ahead of me as I format Windows off my drive (that's always a good time lol) and install Linux Lite  Smile

L L 32bit and 64bit image contains / generates the following errors on installation or live:
1 - Lite software:
- Updating sources has failed.
Refer to /var/log/lite-software.log for more information.
2 - Install updates:
- Could not fetch the package lists cache information.
Generated by something that is not installed:
- Edit software sources - Other Software -
uncheck:
- http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/
and everything will be OK
Hard work, seeking solutions on many forums - solve the problem - but it is easier to generate a new image by unchecking or delete the link.
L L is a distribution enjoyable and well done - and it is a pity to be discouraged from first contact with L. L
I was almost ready to give up L L.
Thank you
sorry for my english – translate  google

Newbie question - I installed Plex media server on my machine.  I need to be able to locate the the folder (much like the program folder in windows) so that I can  edit some plug-in information.  I've been looking and cannot seem to locate it.  Thanks for any help.

I have not noticed this until I started making wallpapers for the upcoming LL3.0.

It seems that the style options for LL2.8 desktop background won't change [centered, tiled, stretched, scaled and zoomed]

I select an option and it has no effect. Anyone else run into this problem? Is it simple to fix?

Thanks
