Hi everyone! Hope youre all having a nice life!

Was reading throught my news feed when bumped into this; Mozilla has Been Nominated for the “Internet Villain” Award in the UK and thought of sharing with you my fellow linuxers hoping to read your thoughts on the topic.

Saw note that Kernel 5.2 was available and so went ahead and did this.  However, now the Virtualbox setup is not running.  Keep getting an error that says to reinstall the virtualbox-dkms package and then load the kernel module by executing 'modprobe vboxdrv'. 
Virtualbox is at version 5, which was installed using the Lite Software install procedure.  I've noted that even though Virtualbox version 6 is available, this is not being updated during regular weekly system updates.  I have previously put in the repositories, but after doing this, nothing seems to work.  Meaning having to unload all my data files, reformat and reload the OS all over again. 
What am I missing and any guidance to move forward would be helpful.  Been using LL since version 2.2 and I'm more than pleased with the OS.  But this issue is starting to become irritating.

I recently upgraded to a HP laptop and my profile has changed. I'm a novice when it comes to Linux Lite but I'm trying to learn new stuff.  I'm confused about "add the kernel boot parameter" as shown below.  How do I add it? I'm able to get into the terminal and enter the first sudo line but after that I'm lost. Any help is appreciated. I have a slow boot time of six minutes which I'm trying to change with the following:

• sudo nano /etc/default/grub
  

• sudo update-grub
  
• sudo reboot
  

My first Linux Distro was Ubuntu 7.04 [Feisty Fawn] 04/2007.
After that it was 7.10 [Gusty Gibbon] 10/2007 when it first came out.
I have been a Linux enthusiast ever since.

At some day my desktop environment gone when i started up my PC. I've tried to update than upgrade it but it didn't worked. Did someone faced with this problem too? Is there any way to solve it? My Panel is still there but neither my desktop wallpaper nor my desktop icons aren't there.

I think my machine is telling programs its a 64 bit architecture when its actually a 32:

I'd like to a) find out/verify, if this is happening, /b) correct it if it is. Often my installation works w/newly installed stuff, but often when it doesn't, this seems to b root. Please help me find out if my machine is a bold-faced liar, /end the problem, if so.

1 example I consider fairly conclusive: When I go to install the latest version of chrome, the web-page basically tells me I have a 64 bit machine, but when I use Gdebi, it says it can't install Chrome because it's AMD 64 which is wrong architecture. Seems to me my computer told the Chrome install page it was 64, but then Gdebi looked into the matter/found its 32.

Gnome-Boxes in Lite Software would fit Simple Fast Free nicely, It runs in Deb XFCE and Ubu. I realize it presents some issues but it seems like mostly minor gtk stuff on the interface. It would be a worthwhile addition. VirtualBox is basically junk. New clicker users would find gnome-boxes much easier to use.

I do not consider the recent dust up here to be of any importance to Linux Lite or the Linux Lite community. I considered replying to Ben's original query myself, but I've always found his posts a bit too obtuse. What I mean by that is, that he made the same mistake a lot of people seeking specialized support do: he did not really define what he was trying to accomplish with the software modification he requested i/e explain why you would want the logout button removed. His claim to be "administering" two machines for a specific charity seemed a worthy pursuit but I have yet to understand his request other than perhaps he wanted the machines to always be shut down when not in use, something that could be accomplished with an entirely different script. Furthermore there is really no need to modify the GUI of lightdm to accomplish what he requested as he could have used policy kit to take away lightdm's permissions to the logout, suspend & hibernate buttons. Questions like Ben's need to have an explanation of why and what is trying to be accomplished attached to them as they are not really "support" questions i/e how to use the base software, something is not working right, updates failed, etc. I have no comment on his character as I do not know him, nor do I have any criticism concerning his behavior or Jerry's. It's none of my business, and has nothing to do with computing. I do find the loss of the original topic a little regrettable as it may have eventually gotten around to the utility Ben was seeking and perhaps I could understand then what he was trying to do and offer some alternative suggestions for the future. Linux Lite and its Forum and growing Community has grown into more of a general community resource and service than we may imagine here, and that is an admirable focus and accomplishment.

Buen dia para todos y un saludo desde Venezuela,he probado Linux Lite 3.8 de 32 bits,todo correcto,pero descarge la version 4.4 de 6a bits y al iniciar en vivo me pide usuario y contraseña,he probado espersr 10 seg,he usado usuario ubuntu,linux y otros que han recomendado y nada,no sale de pedir usuario y contraseña,el Linux Lite de 32 bits y el de 64 bits,los grave en usb con Multisysten y muy bien con 32 bits,pero el de 64 bits no,con multisysten he usado otros linux tanto de 32 como de 64 bits y funcionan bien,que puedo hacer,verifique la suma de verificacion y esta bien,gracias por su atención.

Hello All,
I just installed LL on an old laptop. LL installed fine but it is taking about 6 minutes to boot up. Looking at the boot log shows where the bottle necks are. Maybe someone can point me in the direction of a solution. New to linux.
As you can see I am getting a lot of timed out events. These are just some of them.
