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?

SSH worked OOTB for me. Didn't change anything other than installing Remmina. It may be there are inconsistencies in the installer due to some applications needing policy kit with the old options and the installer configuring new style. Lite-tweaks in XFCE needs actions and rules scripts old style. They were missing for lite-tweaks in my initial install of 7.x. Probably have to figure out what works correctly with Ubuntu 24 base and installer and what doesn't post install, and then have appropriate post installation script for whatever requires old style policy kit stuff. Previously on older versions of LL configuration was set by the installer, but now policy kit settings methods are optional on the version Ubuntu XFCE uses. I'll get it all to work eventually, but I still think the bashisms in lite-tweaks are not the problem.

Jerry - as you requested, I tested updating the sources in a fresh install of LL7-RC1 and didn't see any issues.

I was messing around with the Kernel Installer in the tweaks section and tried to install some of the old 3.x kernels to see how they would work.  None of the 3.x series kernels would install.  I was able to install 4.2 and booted into it.  None of the web browsers seemed to work w/ kernel 4.2 though!  Strange but who's going to be using a kernel that old anyway..?  I suppose the ones that won't install at all should be removed from the list?

I also found this small bug in the Wallpapers area (There's one wallpaper missing):



On the subject of Wallpapers I've got a few cool ones you might consider using - Some space pics and a few other generic ones:

I'd like to submit a feature request too:
Could the default profile use a Windows Manager theme / setting that makes it easier to grab the edges / corners of windows?  I noticed the Xfce desktop option in Debian 12.5 is set up nicely in that way - real easy to adjust windows sizes.  I've got my LL7 test box set to use the "Default-hdpi" option which seems pretty good.  I think it gives around a 5px width to grab the edge.

Thanks,  Scott

That worked Jerry:
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -A
Thanks.
I shouldn't have to fix it on a brand new install though!  I also tried running "/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -A" to generate new keys before running "apt install ssh" on a newly booted Live LL7 system and the server component did install successfully and work afterwards.

I'm still having issues running Google Chrome in Live mode.  It doesn't want to open and basically nothing happens.

I got an "Update Sources Has Failed" "185.125.188.12:80 not found" or similar error when trying to update sources in Live mode.

Yes!  Debian 12.5 is very nice!  I've got a Debian/Xfce system on one of my boxes.  I kind of copied the Xfce desktop settings over from LL6.6.

No problem with ssh here on 7x, installed fine, status normal.
I use scp mostly.

Try https://www.liberiangeek.net/2024/04/install-ssh-server-ubuntu-24-04/

Edit: ssh is installed but get Failed to start with systemctl status ssh. Possibly a very new bug with Ubuntu. If someone paid me for a year, I'd switch us over to a Debian base
