For those who may experience some issues/problems while performing/wanting to update & upgrade Linux Lite, here are a few, just a few, of the many, many posts you can find right here on the forum which most have been solved and the solution is already there, so you can try reading those first and see if any provide you with a solution, if they don't, feel free to post your problem and we'll gladly try to help you.

Here are the links to some of those many, many posts and again, most provide a solution so hopefully, one will work for you:

E: The repository 'cdrom://Linux [version here] - Release amd64 dists/ Release' does not have a Release file.

Hello Forum members,
I wondered if you would provide me with some opinions as to which version I should consider for some recently donated laptops that I will be preparing for the youth with whom I work in South Africa when we return next? 

Let me provide some background for those that aren't aware of the situation in which these laptops are used:
- Firstly, I am not particularly computer savvy, I am a veterinarian by profession but have managed ok with the the help of this forum and google.
- Many of the current laptops are 32 bit and I have been running LL 3.8 on all of them as it has been easier to trouble shoot issues knowing that they are all running the same version.
- While I will double check, it seems that lately more and more of the laptops that are being donated are 64 bit which would allow me to upgrade to version 4 or even 5.  I am going to check them all to ensure they have the minimum and hopefully the preferred specs for these higher versions.
- My main reason for moving on to either series 4 or 5 is because the end date for support for LL 3.8 is approaching (April 2021).
- these laptops are placed with High school students (ranging from grades 9 -12) and while they are mostly used for study the grade 12's also use them for various university on-line application and funding applications.  Items like Skype and similar aren't important as internet access is costly for the the youth so things are prioritize when they do have data.

I would appreciate suggestions as to which version people suggest and why?
I see that LL 4 is supported until 2023 and LL 5 until 2025, but beyond that longer support date are there other things I should consider?
Also, IF/WHEN I have the choice of Legacy boot over UEFI which one should I do - Legacy or UEFI?

Thanks in advance.

So I closed a downloa in the middle of it downloading because I hit the worng thing now I can not download because it says it is still running. For Example: I try to download Minacraft.deb and can not because a software managment tool is running already please help.

Install Updates icon is selected and a window opens up for Continue and it is selected and nothing happens after that.
This just started.

LinuxLite 5.0 here.  I updated my system a few minutes ago and my kernel is still 5.4.0-33. In Synaptic I can see a lot of newer kernels (5.4.0-37, -39, -40, -42, -45 and -47).

At the same time I updated another of my systems, Xubuntu 20.04.1, and it updated from kernel 5.4.0-45 to 5.4.0-47. Is something wrong with my LinuxLite system that is not updating kernels like it should do?

Hello guys!
After I installed LL 5.0, my desktop is fragmented, except the mouse cursor.



Any window is fragmented - only the mouse that is not.
The fragment happens diagonally. The window opens on one side and exits on the other side.

When changing the user, only this window is correct - after entering the user, it becomes fragmented again.



The screen is also slightly correct when you turn off the notebook.

What can I do?
I have already reinstalled the OS and the problem continued.

Hello,

I installed Linux Lite 5.0 the other day and now I am I getting a black screen when trying to turn on my computer.

I was using Google Maps on Firefox and the computer froze up. I manually shut it down, and now I am getting the black screen.

I have tried hitting esc key and holding down the right shift key right after I turn it on and can't get anything to show up.

Any suggestions?

Hello,
my laptop is running Windows 10. I installed Linux Lite. The installation went through smoothly and successful. However, afterwards I wasn't able to boot Linux Lite. I can still boot Windows 10 though. I believe I made the mistake of installing legacy instead of uefi which I have. What shall I do now? Can I just run the uefi installation and will it automatically write itself over the legacy installation?

Any help for this new Linux Lite user is highly appreciated.

Thank you!

Best regards
