I have LL on an external HDD.  When I now try to boot I get the GRUB menu and let it default to Ubuntu.  Instead of going to the LL login screen, the system hangs up.  Part of the error message say something about a controller and that the USB device was not recognized.  I got major updates yesterday that looked like Ubuntu version updates.  Not sure where to proceed from here.  I might have a timeshift backup, but not a very recent one and if I cannot boot into LL, is kind of tough to run Timeshift.  I will check to see if I have a backup on other media.

What's happening?
Some other application or command has it locked.
Have you ran an update previously or installing a package?
If not it maybe that Lite Updater is running in the background..


Give it a bit to complete any tasks else cancling or  reboot might help...


Not sure why but the original post is jacked up...

Hello all,  :wave ,
I am back to using the Linux Lite OS on my Mac Mini 2010 desktop computer. I am running the 5.8 RC1 and I must say color me impressed! By the way my name is Jesse and I am a linux enthusiast and general overall computer nerd. Expect to see me around the forums quite a bit from now on.

  Ciao everybody!!!

Hello there,

I'm Alex writing from Italy and very happy to first and foremost wish you all a great 2022 and thanks creator and supporters for the beautiful OS I'm starting to learn!

I'm almost sure I will appear as annoying and dumb as a middle-age new user could be, but after searching for days on the Web, reading through all the related forum posts and getting back to the Web many times I've seriously considered myself too stupid to keep going on and simply reboot on the default windows installed on my machine...

The first issue was with the connection, since the wlan card it's not recognized... solved by using my phone and a USB connection (great solution, thanks to anyone who wrote about it on the Web!).

The second, not solved at all, is related to pwd management, since the requested one for installing packages was not recognized (I haven't set any pwd during installation) and even if I've changed two times the root one using the advanced features during start-up, after restarting and trying to install packages I still receive an authentication error. Same with users management, since the root profile does not recognize both the password I've (successfully, given what Ubuntu said both times) changed in the advanced screen.

Ok, since I'm totally sure that who's reading this, and have just some little experience with Linux and Linux Lite in particular, would be looking up to the sky sighing and thinking something like: "that"s 2022 and there's still people like this around..." I prefer to stop annoying you over and hope that some help could anyway reach this seasoned newbie without disturbing too much anyone.

Thanks again for the really beautiful OS, has been already GREAT to be able to surf the Web, try some of the provided suggestions (as for connecting) and spend a couple of browsing sessions outside of Redmond domain, I really hope to be able to really join you in the next future!

With all my wishes for a wonderful 2002,
kind regards from Italy!!!

Alex
