Yes, I get an error when in Live mode and trying to update.  Here's the log info from it:

Thanks @sqwuade

Is anyone having issues with Lite Updates in 7x? ie. the progress bar looks like it's freezing?

Did you get the 127 error code too Trinidad?  I saw it every time the script crashed when I was initially testing it.



The " '[' 127 -ne 0 ']' " part was being generated from line 786 where "127" was the output of PIPESTATUS(0)

Code: [Select]

if [ "${PIPESTATUS[0]}" -ne "0" ]; then _clean_up; exit 0 ; fi # If Quit is clicked then exit

anyway the PIPESTATUS(0) array was being populated with the error code 127

Generally means command not found so usually something is out of wack with the PATH system variable. Only a few things could have caused this, given that the previous 6.6 code worked fine. Policy kit is iterated differently between 6.6 and 7. The polkit.service file path in systemd is slightly different with the full service configuration being written directly in the .service file in 7 but daemonized in 6.6.

Code: [Select]

systemctl status polkitCompare between the two.
Given that it's a c2 (command) server perhaps Lite Tweaks user has to be added to polkit.service and/or path to User must be iterated differently in Lite Tweaks.

The new Welcome screen app graphics look great Jerry!  Nice work!

I made some more progress on the lite-tweaks issue.  I was trying to figure out why the zRAM tweak no longer worked in LL7 and was thinking there was something with the script that couldn't be interpreted with the newer version of bash - WRONG!

The crux of the problem with lite-tweaks on LL7 is that the Whisker Menu tweak was commented out and somehow that threw a bug in the script that caused trouble with the zRAM portion of the script to exit with a 127 code.  https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-fix-bash-127-error-return-code

I.e. the lite-tweaks script (/usr/bin/lite-tweaks) from LL6.6 works fine in LL7! - except for the fact that the Whisker Menu tweak no longer functions properly.  The reason the Whisker Tweak no longer works is because the path/file "$HOME/.config/xfce4/panel/whiskermenu-10.rc" no longer exists in LL7, and the Whisker Menu tweak script tries to replace the data on line 2 of that file with "recent=" (thereby deleting the "Recently Used" apps from the list.)  The new version of Whisker menu apparently stores that data elsewhere or in a different way.

I went through the lite-tweaks script and deleted all of the references to the Whisker Menu tweak and now the zRAM tweak works fine in LL7.

Here's the revised lite-tweaks script with the references to the Whisker Menu statements removed.  It works fine in LL7 and the zRAM tweak is back in it:

Are you sure that is the exact wording of the error message ?
Where do you see the error message ?
Is it on the GUI or does it appear on the terminal screen after the the GUI has closed ?

What method did you use to install kstars ?

Do you have any restore points made using 'System Restore Utility' (aka timeshift) from before your problem started ?

The wallpaper 'bug' is an XFCE wallpaper, I wonder if they know about it.

Is anyone else not able to open Chrome in "Live" mode?

Was there a problem with the Whisker Menu Clean tweak?  I noticed it has been commented out in lite-tweaks but was working in LL6.6.

First, I have linuxlite 6.6 installed on a bootable 64Gb SanDisk Cruiser USB stick. Second, my Internet access is through my Android phone's hotspot.
Two nights ago I installed KSTARS and it was working fine - including downloading DSS images from the internet.  When I went to shut down later, I got an "error trying to log out".  Trying to logout and shut down again gave me the same error. I had to power off the computer. Last night, KSTARS failed to download any images. I tried to start up Chrome to search for a solution to this problem, but nothing happened after clicking the Chrome icon on the panel. I also noticed that the word Menu on the left end of the panel was replaced by the linuxlite feather icon.  It turns out that it brings up the whisker menu which is similar to the original menu.  Trying to logout and shuthut down from there gives me the same "error trying to logout".  Any ideas as to how I should proceed to fix these problems?
