  Firefox Snap PM install error on fresh LL 6.0 - Permission denied
Posted by: Alan_Wilts - 06-12-2022, 12:50 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (1)

Hi. Just installed a fresh copy of LL 6.0 on a PC for a friend to use to wean them off Windows -;

Installed LL 6.0 and did one update. Kernel now 5.15.0-37-generic

Went to Package Manager to add Firefox and learnt that Ubuntu based distros are now using Snap for FF. Installed Firefox Snap but failed with:

Code:
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/firefox_1%3a1snap1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root, as file '/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl'
    couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. -
    pkgAcquire::  Run (13: Permission denied)   

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)A package failed to install.  Trying to recover: ....

Package Manager is now sitting in the system tray and will not end.

What is the best way forward and how do I get rid of any "loose" ends

Thanks
Alan

  Double Volume Indicator
Posted by: miel_8 - 06-12-2022, 08:25 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (12)

When using volume keys to change the volume, two volume indicators appear.


I know there already was a topic regarding this but the fix (turning off xfce4 volume notifications) completely disabled volume indicators for me.

  Lite Tweaks Kernel Remover - Public Notice in 6.0 Release
Posted by: valtam - 06-12-2022, 04:26 AM - Forum: On Topic - No Replies

Apply this workaround now if you plan to remove kernels in the 6.0 release - https://www.868212.xyz/forums/secur...l-remover/
Fix coming hopefully in 6.2 Lite Upgrade. Fix already applied for the 6.2 ISO release.

Copy of solution here:

Code:
sudo apt-mark hold linux-image-unsigned*

pretty sure that package is not needed, but it is causing the trouble.

It's too risky to integrate into Lite Patch. All the experts online advise against it so it will have to wait for 6.2 ISO release. I should be able to include this fix in the 6.2 Lite Upgrade package.

Hi, everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! Smile

I wanted to bookmark a thread, but I don't see any button/option to do that. I've bookmarked threads in the past, but it's been a while since I last did it and don't remember how or what I need to do. So, could anyone please be so gentle to tell/remind me how I can bookmark threads? Thanks. Smile

  Repeated Authentification when trying a WiFi connection
Posted by: SUSCHULTE - 06-10-2022, 03:50 PM - Forum: Network - No Replies

I need help to establish a WiFi connection with my Lenovo ThinkPad x200s on Linux Lite.

All available WiFi networks are detected and I can click on my home network to connect to it. I'm then asked for the network authentication. After a few seconds of connecting the authentication window pops up again with the password already filled correctly. This loop repeats a few times before the whole process is aborted.

Useful Informations:

  • on Windows the WiFi adapter works with every tested network
  • I can successfully connect to the WiFi hotspot of my OnePlus 7 Pro
  • various changes on my router didn't help (e.g. disabling 5GHz frequency, enabling 802.11b, choose shorter WiFi password without special characters, ...)

System Information:
  • Lenovo ThinkPad x200s with Linux Lite 5.8 and stock BIOS
  • CPU: Dual Core Intel Core2 Duo L9300
  • Memory: 8GB
  • Wifi Card: Intel WiFi Link 5300 (Full Size)
  • Router: AVM FritzBox 7490 (in a WiFi Mesh with multiple FRITZ!Repeater 2400)

I'm not very experienced with Linux and kindly ask to provide required terminal commands for additional information to solve the problem.

Not sure if I've posted in the right place but I've got a LT bug with the Kernel Remover command. It keeps coming back with linux-image 5-15.0-33-generic after every time. Attached screenshot.

  Logon Loop after last update
Posted by: Von Kirkus - 06-09-2022, 07:59 PM - Forum: Updates - Replies (9)

When I enter my password, (the correct one) at the logon screen, the Toshiba splash screen appears and then just loops back to the logon screen  :banghead I've tried rebooting into recovery mode and so forth, but it's not fixing it. How can I get this reconfigured?

  Impressed with Linux Lite
Posted by: leandrocm86 - 06-09-2022, 12:42 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (3)

Hi! First time user here, and very impressed. I got to know Linux Lite after it caught my attention while going up on distrowatch.
My first thought was "what a great name! How did nobody think about it until so recently?"
And now that I've tried it, I'm really glad with its performance on my modest laptop and its small footprint (I'm using just a 14G partition, which wasn't enough for Ubuntu 22 btw).
I'm considering it for my parents old laptops. Only one issue though: some options and labels aren't completely translated for our language, including the Lite Welcome window. Maybe I could help with some localization? Don't know if it's possible...

Anyway, congrats for everybody involved on this project!
