Sorry to be a PITA, but the upgrade process clearly doesn't work for me, and I don't see how it even could. Here's a bit from lite-upgrade-series2. Note that it is executed without sudo. The first call it makes is MKDIRBUPS, again without gksudo. It tries to create a backup directory under /etc/skel, which is owned by root and is not publicly writable: drwxr-xr-x 21 1000 root  4.0K Dec  1 01:57 skel. So, it is either my permissions are off or the upgrade script is broken. I have everything updated and upgraded. What should I do?

Hum
Just as it says in the Subject.
I was delighted with v2.2 but thought a fresh install of 2.4 (64 bit) might delight me even more. So I downloaded and installed it. Actually a full install into a 32g USB stick from the live version, using 'something else' - separate partitions for boot, root, home, etc.
It then booted just fine, calling itself 2.4 on the boot loader.
I then went to 'install updates' and did so. No errors reported. Unfortunately I then shut down and attempted to reboot. But Grub now showed v2.2. And, of course, it won't boot.
Now, folks, is it just me - or did one of the alleged updates bork the Grub file? Or something?
Do I need to install afresh (avoiding updates for a while) or is there something a not especially linux-knowledgeable guy can do...?

Hi

I'm not sure if this was posted allready. Haven't found it.

I just wanted to run the Intel Graphics Installer and it told me the Distribution is not supported  ???
The last time I did it right after installing Lite it worked just fine.

Hi -- Up to last week, I was using Krita in LinuxLite 2.2 on my Lenovo ThinkPad.

With the release of LL 2.4, I decided it was time to do a clean install and get rid of my Windows XP dual-boot. So I did, and now LL has my entire hard drive to itself. So far, so good.

Now I want to re-install Krita. In Synaptic Package Manager, 2.8.5 is the latest version listed. I'd like to install Krita 2.9, so I followed the Ubuntu steps on this page (adding the Kubuntu backports repository):
https://krita.org/download/krita-desktop/

When I launched Krita I get a "Critical Error: Essential application components could not be found", and the title screen behind it seems to say version 2.8.5.

I was hoping for Krita 2.9, so I found instructions on this page:
http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015...ntu-14-04/

...where it says I should "install krita-2.9 krita-2.9-dbg". But when I do, it says it can't locate either of those resources.

I'd settle for a working copy of Krita 2.8, so I've also tried uninstalling the Krita packages with Synaptic, and re-installing with Synaptic, and I still get the Critical Error when I try to run it.

I feel stuck. I'd sure appreciate any help! Thanks.

Hi!
This is my first thread here and I'll try to do my best to explain my question. I have to note that english is not my first language so I apologize in advance

Brief explanation:
I use OpenVPN and I did set up it and it's working. When I click on "Network" shortcut on the down right panel - near clock/calendar there's a sub-menu "VPN CONNECTIONS"> vpnname. By clicking on "vpnname" connection that is already set up it usually connects (left-mouse click) authomatically - unless "ask every time" is checked. What I find interesting is that before I type my VPN password (or it auto connects) the system asks me for my user password in order to be able to access the VPN connection.

I LOVE that feature and I could never imagine how to do it by myself.
Question:
Is this feauture (asking for user password in order to connect to a VPN) set up by default or did I configure this by accident?
I know that in order to edit/delete connections user password are asked; what I don't get is how to configure my network manager gui to pop out a password fill every time in order to connect to a openvpn.
Short: If someone get access to my computer, the person will not be able to connect to my VPN even If the vpn password is saved on the system.

despite my bad grammar I hope you understand my question

Thanks !
