| Catfish file search - updating data base asking for authentication as superuser |

I'm loving the file search DeepThought told me about and using it a lot.
Today on one of the laptops I'm readying for a youth had message at the top saying "the data base hasn't been updated for more than 7 days, update now?" So I clicked on it.
A message indicated it needed to be refreshed and this required administrator privileges and authentication as super user so I entered the pw I set for Administrator (it is the only pw I have ever entered for the system). It doesn't accept my pw, is there a specific superuser pw that I have not set myself of which I am not aware?
What do I need to do?

| Ethernet Not Working, Intel e1000e 82578DC rev 06 |

Just did an LL install on a Win7 box and now we have no ethernet access. Fortunately, we have wifi working on it.
Here's what I got:
Code: lspci | grep -i ethernet
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection (rev 06)
I tried googling it, but I couldn't find any simple instructions that work. Intel has a driver here:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloa...duct=55351
but, even with some nix experience, I couldn't follow the instructions. They talk about building an .rpm, but I've been a .deb guy for way too many years.
I tried the instructions here:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...ducts.html
Here's what I got:
Code: root … > Downloads > e1000e-3.6.0 > src make install
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.15.0-66-generic'
Building modules, stage 2.

Does anybody know a simple step by step guide to make this work on LL?
Thank you.

| xfce4-goodies crashes synaptic and gdebi |

As an old time xfce user, I love the goodies. However, after I installed them using synaptic, synaptic is broken. Fix broken packages doesn't work. Various apt commands don't fix it, either. I read on an earlier thread where somebody uninstalled then reinstalled the whisker menu, and that fixed it. Not for me.
Here's the error message, which I can't decipher, but devs and more expert users than me might be able to:
Code: Preparing to unpack .../xfce4-whiskermenu-linuxlite_2.1.4-1_amd64.deb ...

Thank you for any help.

| gdebi gui stuck on desktop |

Hi, I'm a longtime (15+ years) xubuntu user. My gf had Win7 on her desktop, for which MS is dropping support soon. She's never used Linux, so I decided to switch her over to something simple. I did some research and settled on LL for several reasons, top among them: I'm going to be the one managing it, I like the ubuntu lts, I have a lot of experience with xfce, I like synaptic, and I wanted a simple user interface. LL had them all.
She uses Chrome. After installing LL, I went to the link google gave for it, and clicked download. The option came up to install it with gdebi. I selected it. Then, I couldn't get gdebi to go away, no matter how many times I clicked the top right X or right clicked and selected close. So, I went to the terminal manager, searched for it, found it, and killed it. It was still there. I can minimize it, but it still shows in the panel.
So, I logged out. When I logged back in, it's still there. I checked the task manager, but it's not showing.
I looked for it in the app finder, but it doesn't show on a search.
I opened it up using the terminal. Another instance of it opened and closed easily, but the old one is still there and won't go away.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

I am running Linuxlite from a USB stick to fix a disc problem on a PC, but I cannot run "su" or "sudo" in a terminal because I do not have the superuser password.
Can someone tell me what it is?
Thanks

Hi new user here and final made the best switch to linux.
I had linux lite 3.8 and I had brought a Corsair Gaming Harpoon RGB Mouse as my mouse wheel had broken on my older mouse and when I had upgraded to Linux Lite 4.6 (yes i know i waited a while to upgrade) my mouse had stopped working it is not responsive there is still power going to it as it does light up but the sensor isn't working on it. I have tried different USB ports still not working, I have even tried few of my friends PC and it works fine on theirs and had previous worked on Linux Lite 3.8 but as soon as i upgraded it had stopped working it was even working on the live version of 4.6 but when I installed 4.6 it had stopped working and yes i have enabled it on the mouse and touchpad settings still not working.
I have had to go back to my previous mouse so scrolling it a world of pain for me right now. If anyone has any ideas of a solution to this I am willing to try anything.
Just try and give me noob friendly advice as I'm still pretty new to using the terminal and such. Any help would be great seem like a weird issue to have. If any further information is needed I can provide it just may needed to be pointed in the right direction as I'm still fairly new to this system. Thank you very much and looking forward to your answers and suggestions.

Good evening to you all!
Please, could any of you help me thorough the installation of linux lite on my kid's laptop!! It's the 4th time I freshly install it and when rebooting it keeps showing the message of error trying to write outside disk os somthing like that. I tried several times with the boot repair disk to solve it, but, simply could not make it work.
In this moment I am installing it again, having set a partition of 10GB as "/" and the rest 480 GB as /home.
I am talking about an old laptop, HP COMPAQ NX6325 WITH 2 GB RAM and a hdd 500GB.
Any help would be more than appreciated!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance....
