| Steam silent install script |

I made this along with a desktop icon to install Steam silently with a notification saying it is doing it and when it is done. I thought I would share the script to make it easier for someone to do it. The desktop launcher I am sure anyone can make so I am not including it. This is only for 18.04 based and up. You can adjust for using with 16.04 based.
Code: #!/bin/bash
notify-send --expire-time=10000 'Hello SuperGamer User' 'This is silently installing the Steam client, please be patient'
pkexec apt install steam --yes --assume-yes
rm -f /home/*/Desktop/Steam*
notify-send --expire-time=10000 'Hello SuperGamer User' 'Congratulations, the install has finished'

| Fresh Install 4.6, Error 5 Input/output faulty CS/DVD or Hard Disk |

I am a new Linux Lite user and also new to Linux. I attempted to install the most recent version on 12/1/19 and received error 5 input/output error faulty cd/dvd or hard disk.
- I have an older desktop computer with 4 fixed disks in it (120 GB, 200 GB, 500 GB, 1 TB).
- The hard disk in question was a 200 GB fixed disk with nothing on it and I let the installer repartition (wipe it out option.)
- I tried it two more times using different fixed disks and trying different options from the installer, all ended in the same error.
- I burned the ISO to a DVD using a Windows machine (the one I am trying to update will soon be a former Windows PC.)
- I sent my hardware info to the online database, but I do not know what it is recorded under.
Could it be the DVD? I looked at many posts before posting but could not find anyone describing this error. Some similar errors indicated creating the ISO using a Linux machine. If I need to create the install device using a Linux machine, how do I do that when I don't have one yet? ;D Rhetorical question, I know, but I do not have one available to me so I can't do that.
The computer was given to me and was working fine until the Windows updates became too much to bear. It is currently in between being a Linux computer and a Windows computer since the first LL install wiped out the Windows install on the 200 GB drive. (No worries on that, I am glad it is gone!!) But, communicating info about the desktop is a little tougher until I can get it resolved. I am at work right now and the desktop is at home.
If I need to provide more technical detail about my desktop please let me know what it is and I can find out. I really want to use Linux Lite and I am pretty technical (depending on who you compare me to) but a complete noob on Linux.
Thanks in advance,
Mark in Detroit

If the current state of Open Source software corresponds with our understanding of Freedom in the digital realm, I wonder what kind of spawn would produce our understanding of Justice?
Freedom and Justice, do they actually go along together?

Hi,
I have a Dell Vostro 15 3000 series laptop. It worked perfectly until today. I have the latest Linux Lite version and have installed updates today.
Immediately after the updates, my touchpad stopped working. I tried various solution I found on Google, none works.

| Good idea to clone HDD to ssd? |

Ordered 2 Samsung ssd's, one M.2 and one sata expecting to use Samsung Magician Software. Upon reading about it before they arrive I find the software will not work in Linux.
Is it a good idea to clone ( LL 4.6 & LL 3.8 ) using d.d. or Clonezilla or do a reinstall?
Found this tutorial :
https://www.868212.xyz/forums/tutor.../#msg39977
Not sure if this is a solution and if d.d. runs from the live system or from a bootable cd?
Thanks Wayne.
I understand LL 4.6 will do trim and 3.8 I will have to set it up.
