Hi folks !

Well, before trying it myself, I'd like to know if someone has already tried to install "Waydroid" and if it was worth the bother.

I'm considering installing it on my mini laptop as there're 2 apps I can't really find an equivalent on Linux, but as the machine is very limited, I'm a bit doubtful.

Any contribution welcome.  Wink

I need to print a shipping label but the postal service website is requiring adobe acrobat to view, print or save the label.

How would I install the acrobat software so my browser can print the shipping label?

When updating or installing software I keep getting "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. "
When I try running in terminal it does nothing - just seems to hang. Reboot does not solve issue.

Dear fellow Linux Lite users,

I love the new Linux Lite!  Kudos to the wonderful developers!

To help those in need and to help our environment by keeping useful things (old laptops) out of the landfill, I refurbish old laptops and give them away to those in need so that they can apply online for jobs.

In a few cases involving Apple products (such as a late 2008 MacBook Air), the Linux Lite install process gets stuck at the "Updates and other software" section -- even when none of the boxes are checked.  As a result, the installation process fails -- and I need to use another Linux distro instead.

I would welcome any advice.

All the best,
Bobby

How fix it?

Hi all,  Smile

I´m using Linux Lite 6.2 and I´m very satisfied with it.  :045:

Well, I was looking for a clipboard manager but it seems LL doesn´t come with one per default.
So I ´m looking for a good one to install. Doing a bit of research I found those:

- copyq
- gpaste
- klipper
- clipman
- diodon

(https://www.tecmint.com/best-clipboard-m...for-linux/ )

Hmm, I´m not quite sure which would be best for LL. Klipper for example  seems to be optimized (exclusively?) for the KDE environment.

Does anyone of you have a good suggestion?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Many greetings
Rosika  :wave

Can I have 3 different bootable Linux distro each on their own partitions on 1 USB thumbdrive, but what would happen when you insert the thumbdrive? Would a boot menu load first asking the user which partition you would like to start from?

I would like to eliminate any extra steps so that I can just plug in the thumbdrive and it goes into an autoloader mode to install the Linux distro, but a simple boot menu as described above is fine besides anything else further. Will this be possible and how much space would I need for this per partition, per Linux distro?

And with a new USB - (SanDisk Ultra Luxe 32GB USB 3.1 SDCZ74-032G-G46) after reformatting to EXT4 for these partitions will I be wiping away any vital Linux drivers or kernels that would prevent me from doing the set up what I’ve described above? thanks in advance for your advice.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on how to install or activate Bluetooth on my Linux Lite 6.2 PC. Under Settings, I tried to study the applications 'Bluetooth Adapters and Bluetooth Manager, but found no devices. Perhaps I need a piece of hardware to use Bluetooth on the PC. Having only recently installed Linux onto this pc, I was unsure if I would need a Linux specific device. Any advice would be appreciated. : )
