Hi Everyone,

Apologies first no knowledge of Linux have used Win til now so definitely a newbie 

Just installed LL 6.2 on Welcome screen install updates enter admin password til I had approximately 200 updates pressed Continue til error log reported as far I make out 2 error so pasted Error log as suggested.
Noticed the server were US not UK hadn't changed the cache. As I understand it will mean I have to change it before updating or installing new software. That is something else on this steep learning curve I got to learn but I always liked a challenge.

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 6522 (apt-get)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?

I am pushing 80 so I am writing this offline because I am concerned it makes sense and I want it to reread it before posting.
First of all. I have an older laptop that I use, it has 2 partition, one is Windows 7 and it seems to be OK. The other is Linux Lite. It is an older version but I can't find a version number, I would say a couple years old.
A couple of years ago I began to have cognitive difficulties and modified Linux Lite desktop so there would as few icons in other words I change the program icons by removing the icon and making the title something meaningful to me.
At some point I realized that I had lost my connection to the internet. In working on that I realized that I have a connection to the local router and I can see all of the other computers in my comcast community.
However, I cannot go to the browser and put in a URL and get a connection. I do have a simple website on my personal network.  That I connect with.
It sound to me as if I have problem connecting with a DNS server. I have tried several URL's for DNS servers.
None of which worked.
If you want to help me keep in mind that I have to read and reply on one partition and test on another.
Thanks to anyone who can provide any help I would prefer step by step instructions.
Jim

Howdy folks,
Can anyone explain what is happening with updates, this has been coming up all day.  Running LL 5.8 and I would appreciate the help.

I will install Linux Lite if it has printer drivers for Canon PIXMA MG2500. Are there drivers for Canon?
Thanks!

I installed LL6.2 on a Dell Inspiron 15-3565 notebook.  On first boot, the Network icon was on the taskbar and I was able to select a wifi network and log into it.  After running updates and doing some internet browsing, I noticed the network icon disappeared.  I cannot find a way to access the available wifi list to change networks if necessary.  I tried rebooting several times but the icon is still gone.  Any ideas on how to get it back?
Thanks

I have created booted a persistent linux lite live USB on a legacy bios computer by using Rufus and the live ISO, and very much like what I see.  . Many thanks to all involved!


I would now like to install Linux Lite fully but:
[list type=lower-alpha]
[*]on a 32Gb USB stick not a hard disk. (It is currently formatted in one partition as Ext4).
[*]to run on my legacy bios computer, not on a UEFI computer.
[/list]

I have followed your clear instructions regarding how to fully install on a legacy bios computer from the Linux Lite Live desktop installation link, but am somewhat confused regarding what to do after selecting an Install Type of 'Something Else'. I don't want to risk over-writing my Windows boot hard disk or related data disk (though all my data is backed up and I have disk clone), nor disconnect my hard disk as I might mess the hardware up!.


Assuming I know how to identify my target USB in partitioning table (I do!), will it work OK, and not over-write either of my hard disks, if I do the following in the sequence indicated:

1. Using the Device for Bootloader Installation drop-down, select my target USB as the destination for the boot loader
   
2. In the Installation Type, Device/Partitions list, select and choose to change my target USB, formatting it again (to make sure!) with a single Ext4 partition and mount point of '/'
   
3. In the Installation Type, Device/Partitions list, click on my target USB - the whole device not the partition - so it is highlit. (I note that if you don't do this it seems to revert to highlighting the main hard disk after changing the target USB).
   
4. Press Continue

Dear All,
I have just installed Linuxlite 6.2 on my pals aged laptop a Lenovo G580 with an i3 processor and 8G Ram.
The wifi is a Broadcom BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter
No wifi network is showing up on the networking taskbar.  When I checked in the Software and Updates section to see if I could install a driver it appears that it is already using Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver source from kernel bcmwl-kernel-source (proprietary).
The wifi worked fine when booting from the Linuxlite USB but after the installation I have to connect an ethernet cable to the router.  Any ideas on how to sort this out would be very welcome.
I am familiar with using terminal commands but this is my first go at using Linuxlite.
