Dear All

Following was error message:
sudo systemctl enable qemu-guest-agent
Synchronizing state of qemu-guest-agent.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable qemu-guest-agent
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, Also=,
Alias= settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance= for template
units). This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.

Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
• A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
  .wants/ or .requires/ directory.
• A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
  a requirement dependency on it.
• A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
  D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
• In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
  instance name specified.

Any workaround?

Hello!

Please be gentle, it is my first time  :002:

Tidying up the garage came across this forgotten notebook: Intel Atom, W7 Starter... the lot. I have not used it since 2017 if I remember correctly, and trying to update it gave me this error:

============ Log ===========

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 4663 (apt-get)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?


This was meant to be my introduction to the amazing world of Linux, but a man must admit his limitations. Any help is welcome, thanks.

I have just loaded an older computer with Linux Lite. As a long term user of Linux Mint, and a reluctant occasional user of Microsoft Windoze 7 &10, I must say I am greatly impressed.
Well done to the developers; I will make a donation this morning.

I specifically like the ordered arrangement of the desktop and the ease of finding anything needed, very quickly.
This is in contrast with the incredibly untidy Win10 which I inherited on a old machine. I had a frustrating time trying to find my way around it. And I stress the "trying" bit!

Thanks to the developers. I will install this on my second home desktop as well.

Jim.
