Hi everyone! hope you're all having a nice life!

I just found that Systemback is active again.  https://github.com/fconidi/systemback-in...pack-1.9.3
The new version is 1.9.4 supporting Debian 10, Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04. Just installed with no problems by following instructions from the git page.

I'm using my backup laptop as my HP is down for the moment. It's Toshiba satellite C850D on LL 3.4. I haven't updated it for months if not a year. On start up it runs horribly slow. If I restart I get a message of 'unattended upgrade in progress. do not turn off computer.' If left it take over 30 mins to restart. I can stop it with cont/alt/del & on reboot it has gone. It will sometimes resume later in the day. It's very noticeable that the fan suddenly goes into overdrive & everything grinds to a halt.

Once started, by checking 'resource usage', I can see the following using upto 170% CPU:
pid :1098  user: root  Command: /user/bin/python3 /user/bin/unattended-upgrade

Nothing shows in task manager using anything more than single figure CPU% but CPU at the top is flat out 100% almost all the time.

My question's are : what is this unattended upgrade ? & why is it running without my initiating it ? (One main reason I ditched windows was stuff running in the background, eating resources, that I had no control over.)

Just had this problem.  Haven't updated for some months untill today.

ideas welcomed.  Thanks.

NOTE now upgraded to  LL3.8

Hi everybody,

i am fairly new to the world of Linux. Because i need to run open source lab analysis software, I was planning on installing dual boot Win 10 and LL5.0.
I got everything up to the installer running and followed recommendations in this forum which helped well.
I created a 20 GB partition for LL root and swap. sda1 is windows, sda2 is data and sda3 was generated for LL.

I also followed the help file of LL 5.0.
For dual boot, it says to install on extra partition. I set bootloader to sda as recommended and had sda3 wiped. Before continuing, the software told me to define efi of at least 500 mb. Because LL help file told me not to touch sda1, the win partition, i cut a piece of the sda3 to create sda 4 in efi. Then, i was able to continue installation process and LL was installed. Before the end of the process, installation crashed and a fatal error occured stating that GRUB was not properlz installed.

When restarting, GRUB didn|t do much but a command line that gave an error.

Restarting from BIOS and setting the USB first made me at least restart into LL installation surface. From here i am writing.

Windows partition is dead and not accessible at this point via GRUB or when set to home drive.

Anybody a suggestion on how to fix GRUB?
Re-installation works, but doesnt fix the problem, tried a few different angles, but didnt get far.

Any help greatly appreiated!

Hi all,

As mentioned in the title.  I have a Macbook pro late 2011.

Everything is running very nicely except I can't right click with the touchpad.  I can't find a setting to either. 

Has anyone had success in getting this to work?  On other distro's I've tried it was fine.  Just Linux Lite so I'm guessing it's something simple I can do?

Thanks so much

Hi all,

I've installed LinuxLite and I'm trying to install docker.
Usually I've used Ubuntu or Pop!OS and it's installed fine via these instructions:

https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/

However I get to this part:

sudo add-apt-repository \
  "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  $(lsb_release -cs) \
  stable"

and it fails to add the repository.  I've changed it to:

sudo add-apt-repository \
  "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  Buster \
  stable"

That went a little further along but still failed. 

I wonder if anyone has had any success in installing Docker on LinuxLite? 

I'm on an old Macbook Pro 2011 and the OS is running quite nicely apart from this little hurdle and a few little other things I'll work through.

Thank you

Hiya Folks,

So scouring the net there is info out there, but I find confusing. This of course is not hard to do, lol. So, looking for help if you can please?

Any ways, I have had trouble over the last couple months, with setting up my laptop free from Windows. I have had issues, with LL and tried a couple others, but still like LL so have settled on LL.

However, as I learn more and more about Linux, try things out, and so forth I have had to re install LL as it fell over and I could not get  access to the o/s anymore.

This of course in Linux is no big deal if you have a nice copy of a bootable usb etc. But once up and running again, you do need to install all your favourite software. You also have to spend hours if not days re configuring some of this software. E.G. Gimp. There are filters to install, presets to be re made, py to install scripts to be made and so the list can go on and on.

Question:
Is there a safe and quick or non complicated way of creating an ISO image of my system once it is set up, and running just like how I like it?

My personal data is backed up to external drive, but the system to return it to my working level takes days after a bout of problems.

If I could re insert a copy of my own image , and install with all your snaps, all your fav software and and downloads , would be amazing.

Am hoping to hear from folk that have successfully created a copy of their own running system and how to go about it.

Cheers

7-15-2020,

i was wondering when the adobe flash pugin will be no longer added in linux lite , and will the brawser like google chrome and firefox and other browser will fallow suit .
just wondering , i always keep the plugin disabled.

I sorry to be such a dope, but as a Linux Lite newbie I was looking around in the File Manager at /bin/ files and I accidentally set the "Open With" application for files of type "shared library" to 'Advanced Network Configuration' and then, whilst trying to fix that, I added 'Mousepad' as an alternative option, for good measure! Doh!
Specifically I did this to the 'sane-find-scanner' shared library (because I was trying to find the answer to my earlier query about letting my N/W scanner be 'seen' through the firewall), but now this stupid setting is being applied to ALL files of the "shared library" type...
I am sure this cannot be a good idea, but I have NO IDEA how to reset this to default. Could somebody out there please come to my rescue and tell me how to put this back to default?
Apologies, once more... :

Saw this on Distrowatch. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
