I don't know if there is any connection between these events on another LL 4.6 i5 computer, which had been working fine for a long time.

1:  Using Vivaldi browser I used DistroTest.net to look at a distro, a very slow process. I then left that site.

2:  within the next 30 mins or so the computer became slow, slower, then almost stopped/froze as I tried to re-start. A partly obscured message window appeared, and I'll give the left hand end of the message - sorry, it may seem pointless, but someone may recognize it!?

RECEIVE
Did not rec
remote ap
bus securit
timeout ex
broken.

after a few mins more the re-start did take place and things seemed to work ok.
I did run Home folder scan on ClamTK, no threats found.

3: The scary part! shortly after 2 began my smartphone, whose wifi hotspot I was using (never a problem before), also froze, black screen, and took a long time pressing the start button for it to respond and re-boot.
What a coincidence, 2 devices crashing! (The only thing that occurs, other than a malware attack, is maybe when I lifted the phone I pressed the start button, and ....? But that doesn't do any harm now...)

4: not long after re-boot PC started to not respond to clicking, for example Menu on panel, except for a split-second flash of a window. The ClamTK did open, but actions within it just same brief window flashes.

I have checked the Win7 partition on that pc, working fine.

I've re-booted into LL and it looks like it's working fine for now. ClamTK of System files ok.

I've no idea if this is a software issue or an attack.

hello,  i posted this request already but maybe in the wrong place, i am new here and new to linux, i like it but 25 years of windows has softened my brain i think
when i minimise an internet page or program to the taskbar it and I can't find it so I have to open a new tab and find my page. When I shut down it says you are about to close six tabs etc... so they are there but not visible. I have linux lite on another  small laptop and i do not have this problem, maybe i did something wrong in the set up?
Can anybody help please?

Reading package lists...
E: Repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/otto-kesselgulasch/gimp/ubuntu bionic InRelease' changed its 'Label' value from 'gimp' to 'gimp stable'

When I try to update Linux Light I always get the error message below. I have used the install button on the start linux light screen and I tried it also with "apt-get update".
The update procedure worked for quite a while without problems. I have recently installed gimp and the opera browser. May be the problem is caused by these newly installed programs.
Suggestions how to solve the problems appreciated...

Linux Lite 4.0, been running it for almost a year now. Regular updates about once a week. Latest one was this morning, but the Conky status widget is not showing the update, even after a reboot. I kind of like having the reminder, so I'd like to get it working again. Where should I start? I looked at the forum and found advice to clean packages, but that didn't help. Others have had a similar problem, but the posts are old, with older operating systems.

Any idea where I should look?

Hello,

I currently have Ubuntu loaded on a desktop with modest resources (dont want to spend alot of money).
I do have a memory upgrade on the way ..

Am considering a "liter" version... I have to ask.

What makes Linux lite, well, lite compared to lets say a Ubunto LTS distro ?

thanks
iosman

hello, more teething problems that leave me lost when i minimise an internet or program  it disappears from the task bar and I can't find it. When I shut down it says you are about to close six tabs etc... so they are there but not visible. I have linuxlite on a small laptop and it's not a problem.
Can anybody help please?

With help from Jerry I was able to get this scanner working, but now I have another problem.

It looks like whenever I "suspend" or reboot the system and log back on, the scanner is no longer recognized.  Eventually I figured out that if I disconnect and reconnect the USB cable, the scanner is recognized.

Any way around this?  Would be nice if I did not have to reconnect it every time I need to scan.  Thanks.

Various windows in LInux Lite have their menubar contents allruntogether across the bar.  How do I fix this?  I tried adjusting the DPI in settings/appearance, but that only affected the desktop and title bars. 

This screenshot shows two menus that areruntogether:
