Hi


I did an update 2 days ago and shut down laptop after although it was asking for a restart after update. On starting computer yesterday it booted directly to the screen where i was to chose boot options and stuff but all worked well afterwards. Tried an update today and seems not to be working, please see error log below

I got a problem with timeshift. I did a restore and no errors during the restore itself. But when the laptop booted after the restore i got the following message.
Pressing ctrl-d didnt work, the password i entered wasnt accepteted and a hard reboot didnt work either, just got the same screen back. I ended up having to do a complete fresh install.
Anyone have an idea what is causing this, because at the moment timeshift doesnt work for me.


This is the message:

Hello everyone ! I am new to linuxlite os .
I wanted to update the system .But my network system is behind proxy . I do not know how to set proxy for whole system .
please guide me ,Thank you.

OK, kind of a *ix noob here.  I did google this and found a lot of useless info already, mostly on askubuntu (it IS a bigger community and tends to come up...  and since LL is derived from U) I am a long-time windows user so forgive me if I use the win terms.

Want to start trying out some VPNs, mostly know how it works.  On the network context menu, it has "VPN Connections", with a sub menu "Add a VPN Connection", but it is greyed out.  I ran this CL to install, as per instructions from the provider:

sudo apt-get install openvpn network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome

(yes, I know xfce)
and

sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc network-manager-openvpn pptp-linux

All of which were already installed.  I found the firewall applet, turned off, no effect.  I should note that I fiddle with my config (i.e. firmware router settings) more than seems appropriate, so could be related.  pptp-linux is also installed.  I think I am using LL 4.0 as I just ran apt-get upgrade yesterday.  When I edit the connection, and try to enable the "Automatically connect to VPN", it lets me fill the check-box, but never saves nor does it allow me to use the pull-down options (may have to be set up first?).

Halp.

Hello,

In Chapter 15 of , The Linux Command Line, there is a command -

2) Run "/opt/1C/v8.3/x86_64/1cv8c" in terminal (working for admin aswell) - error:

Does it have a Playstore like Android where I can see a selection of applications, there names and their uses? I tried looking at Synaptics but I got more confused since I am not familiar with anything I found there  :'(

A friend donated a new Acer C731 chromebook to me to use with the youth I help in South Africa. Since we do not often have internet access I am wanting to convert it to run Linux Lite 3.8 like I have two other Chromebook, however I am battling to do so!

I have successfully loaded SeaBIOS (legacy boot) and set the gbb flags. OS verification is OFF and I have enabled USB booting.

However, when I put in my USB stick the boot menu gives me the option to boot from the USB, I choose it, the USB light flashes, a small Linux lite menu shows in the upper right corner (although the countdown to automatically launching does not countdown), I can choose run Linux lite, the LL feather logo comes up (to fill the screen) then after several seconds a black screen with some script shows for a very short period (I haven't yet been able to get a photo of what this script says, but will try) then it goes black and shows a flashing "-" and the light on the USB goes out. Nothing happens after that.

I have usb boot enabled on it as well "OS verification OFF".  This same USB works when I put it in one of the other chrome books to confirm it works.

Any ideas of what I can do to get this Acer to allow the USB to boot so that I can load and then install LL if all is fine?

Thanks in advance, Janet
