Howdy folks,
I was in the process of downloading the usual security and software updates on the updater and the power went off and on.  When I turned my machine back on I checked the updater and no updates were available?  So, I checked using the terminal and received the same using apt-get update and upgrade.  How do I check if the updates completed or not?

Best regards

Hi everyone,

Due to both a change in personal circumstances, and the work going into Translations, the 6.6 Final release date has been pushed out to:

1st October, 2023.

If we can get it out any earlier, we will. But 1st October looks the most likely at this stage.

Thank you.

Jerry

I wanted it to boot faster, what can I do?

I'm looking to install Lite on a friend's computer that is located at a great distance. I won't be around to install the upcoming new Stable version on that computer.

If I install Linux Lite 6.6 RC1 now, can the system be simply updated from the installed RC1 to the Stable version when it's ready? Or will the Stable version require a clean install?

Thanks.

E: The repository 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu groovy Release' does not have a Release file.

Age 77, not a clue, in a bit of a state.

Using a donated Lenovo repurposed laptop which came preloaded (during Covid) with Linux Lite.

I'm in the process of producing a very, very long document, and it has been a big struggle, but am fairly near the end,  it's been beset with problem after problem, the latest of which is that I deleted a really important folder which contains loads of photos.  I really feel like I'm swimming against the tide, but I try to keep going.

I don't know what version the Linux Lite is, I know there are loads of updates to download but I'm reluctant to change anything on the laptop until the document is finished, at which time I think it would probably be best to install the latest version, I haven't a clue how and haven't looked into it until my document is done.

The folder of photos was on a Toshiba 2 TB external harddrive, I'd got a back-up of everything except these ******* photos, ain't it always the way.

Is there any way I can get the folder of photos back, I haven't opened the drive since the idiotic event so hoping that nothing has changed on there.

After I'd finished screaming, I put a garbled message on the 'contact us' page.  So a couple of days later, I'm hoping this message makes a bit more sense.

Title. I do not know how to do it. I tried it through  appImage, and nothing happens. The command line option seems to be complex to a linux noob like me.  Someone can show a path that it is not difficult to a 5 y.o. child ? Thanks for the attention.

Hi, I've used LL5.4 for the last 18 months or so, and am very impressed. I use it about 95% of the time. I installed LL6.4 a few days ago, installed Firefox, then deleted Chrome. My PC is a 3GHz dual core Intel with 4Gb RAM. Latest updates for OS and applications were applied.

Following a fresh installation of Linux and Firefox, the attachment button in both Microsoft Outlook and Protonmail does nothing. Firefox settings are the same as I usually apply. I've tried updating Firefox, clearing its cache and closing and reopening it, without success. A reinstallation of Firefox didn't help, and general Internet searches were too generic to be of help with this problem. No add-ons or plugins were added to FF on the second install. The other thing is I can't clear the FF cache using Tweaks as before, because the FF cache entry doesn't appear. Clearing the FF cache from within FF doesn't fully clear it. I also unchecked the "Block pop-up Windows" box in Firefox.

I found a post on the forum suggesting "the drag and drop method". I tried this and it worked; the attachment was sent, received and opened. However, if possible it would be nice to be able to do it using the button in the email client if possible.

Can anyone throw any light on this?
