Hi

Just tried to download and install updates but got the following:

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.


... should I just enter "dpkg --configure -a" into the terminal emulator, or is that just tooo obvious?

TIA!

Hello, I tried to install Linux Lite 6.0 RC1 with LVM and luks encryption enabled, but when I first started it, it dropped to a initramfs prompt instead of prompting for the password to decrypt the luks partition.

Then I checked if initramfs was including the dm-crypt.ko module, but found out it was missing.
In the end I realized the package cryptsetup-initramfs was missing from the distribution, and in order to fix the issue I had to launch the live iso, then manually mount the encrypted root partition and chroot into it, and finally install the package cryptsetup-initramfs manually.

So please check if the package cryptsetup-initramfs is included on installation.

Hey, everyone.

I'm very new to Linux in general and forums as well, so if I'm going to make a lot of mistakes here, haha.
Anyway, I'm going to attempt to be more specific about my issue.

Basically, upon a fresh installation of Linux Lite 5.8, and kernel version 5.4.0-109-generic.

My goal here was to connect my bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mouse to my linux system and generally stay connected for continuous use, but what ends up happening is that upon a fresh install of this linux version, I can identify, connect to, select as a trusted device, and pair my mouse just fine. Then the keyboard appears and lets me connect, trust, but not pair. This usually manages to work for a while, but when I restart the pc, the mouse remains connected and functional, but I have to reconnect the keyboard. This also remains working for a while, but my bluetooth manager crashes and I lose all control over my bluetooth devices. When this happens, I either a) cannot even open the bluetooth manager; it acts as if it will open, but then stays frozen, which linux then offers to force close it, or b) I can open the manager, see my devices to connect to, but I cannot pair nor connect to them. A pairing failed message will appear when trying to pair and a Connection Failed:  Connection timed out appears when trying to connect. However, sometimes the connection message changes and says a different reasoning for the failure to connect.

This seems to be my bluetooth device:

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0a5c:21e8 Broadcom Corp. BCM20702A0 Bluetooth 4.0


When I use the command (below) in the terminal, this is what pops up. I see an error and then something about unknown packets and corruption handles.

The only other things I have downloaded are: visualboyadvance and znes emulators.

If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate your time. I am eager to share more information and the like if necessary.

Its about a question that appeared on #ubuntu:matrix.org
Why are templates on "right click -> create document" empty? New users get pretty confused with this. Maybe there could be added some basic templates for .txt .odf and etc at least.

Howdy,
The last update to Thunderbird mail on Linux Lite changed the time format to military time, though I've been on the Thunderbird help forum and there are only a couple of threads on the subject.  I've followed the directions given but still end up with military time, my LL OS is set to civilian time central United States so I don't think that is the issue, has anyone else encountered this problem and if so know a fix?

best regards,
Vint

I have Librewolf installed in a flatpak. It wasn't asking to be the default browser. I went into config:about and changed a setting there, so now it asks every time it opens, if I want it to be the default browser. I click yes. But when I click on a link, Firefox jumps into action. I looked in the settings, and it says Firefox is my default browser. There's no place to uncheck that setting.

I went to the preferred apps, and put Librewolf in as the default and saved it. It didn't make any difference.

I'm using Linux-lite 5.8.

I thought it might be a permission problem, so I edited the permissions in /usr/share/applications/plank.desktop to give me ownership instead of root. Didn't make any difference.
Please advise.

PD I love  :043: Linux Lite by the way, I am in the process to get very comfortable with it... (Linux and i we are falling in love hehe  :52: although sometimes there are some little issues  :048

I starting using Linux 3 months ago, I've used Windows for over 25 years and became fed up with all the changes especially on Windows 10, creating a Microsoft account is just one of them. So far I've used 7 distro's, some were better than others, some had some shortcomings like hardware problems etc. Then I came upon a Linux lite video on you-tube. I liked what I saw so I downloaded it and installed in on an old DELL I have and it works great right out of the box, even on a 15 year old laptop!

So far its been stellar, it found drivers for all the hardware on the laptop and it's quite quick. I had Windows 7 on it originally and it was slow as molasses.
I like that you don't even have to use the Terminal to install anything, but I'am in the process of learning how to use the Terminal.
I will be installing Linux Lite on my main computer very soon.
What I like the most about Linux is that you can customise it in so many ways, it's great!

Thank you Linux Lite team!

I'm a moderator at the Mageia Forum.  I've ran a lot of linux flavors but really liked Mandrake back in the day.  Used to actually work for Mandriva.  Then they changed direction and I've been with Mageia ever since.

I've been hearing about Linux Lite, so downloaded 6.0 RC1.  I must say I'm really impressed.  Just wanted to say you guys are doing a great job!

Keep up the great work,
Stephen G
