<br />
I have a Surface Go tablet onto which I installed Linux Lite v. 7.6.  The issue is as follows; When attempting to use Onboard onscreen keyboard it simply vanishes off the screen the instant I tap it.  I wish to use this device while mobile and do not want to attach a full keyboard every time I need to type something.  Has anyone encountered this situation before?  Any suggestions would be helpful. <br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi All, <br />
<br />
Recently my system prompted me for updates and I accepted them as usual, but after updates I started facing severe thermal issues and my laptop started shutting down automatically due to thermal issues.<br />
<br />
<div class="codeblock"><div class="title">Code:</div><div class="body" dir="ltr"><code>Sep 21 08:59:07 linuxlite-Vostro-3500 kernel: [  511.326710] thermal thermal_zone0: acpitz: critical temperature reached, shutting down<br />

<br />
 After long debug I found that latest kernel (5.15.0-153-generic) update was the issue. I had to remove new kernel and go back to old kernel (5.15.0-133-generic) to get my system stable again. <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Seems they removed support for old hardware, intentionally or by mistake I don't know.</span><br />

			<description><![CDATA[A number of support threads have been raised in which this has been evident.<br />
<br />
On a test system, installed OS from LL7.4 iso and attempting all the updates post installation.<br />
<br />
During the upgrade, it appears the grub-efi-amd64-signed set up script can't find the location of the GRUB boot loader.<br />
As a result of this problem, the grub script requires user intervention to manually confirm where it is or should be.<br />
<br />
If update/upgrade is done from the cli, the grub-efi-amd64-signed configuration script calls a text based configuration tool.<br />
The tool is similar in style to something like nmtui and the user is expected to navigate the menu to select and confirm the location of the GRUB boot loader.<br />
<br />
My guess is that the lite-updates script is not equipped to handle this situation and throws an update/upgrade failure message with a cryptic message stating<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>mount: /var/lib/grub/esp: special device /dev/disk/by-id/ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VBad170837-5acc172c-part2 does not exist.</blockquote>
and<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>grub-efi-amd64-signed package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 32</blockquote>
<br />
Checking indicates that the update/upgrade initiated by lite-updates did in fact work despite the error message but this is transparent to the user who is instructed to seek help on the forum.]]></description>

I noticed that after installing LL 7.4 the service Casper-md5check.service is throwing an error:<br />
<div class="codeblock"><div class="title">Code:</div><div class="body" dir="ltr"><code>&#36; sudo systemctl list-units --failed<br />

Haven't seen that in older versions. Would suggest to have this service disabled with an installation as it's not necessary. It's only designed to verify the integrity of a Live ISO system.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hello, everyone!<br />
I noticed a translation error in Brazilian Portuguese language. When you right click in the desktop, the option "Buscar aquii..." should be "Buscar aqui..." or even "Buscar aqui". The second "i" is a mistake. As you can see here: <a href="https://prnt.sc/60xTCv_iPeuO" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://prnt.sc/60xTCv_iPeuO</a><br />
<br />
Also, when you go to Control Panel, some elements shouldn't be translated because they loses their meaning. For example, the "Lite Sounds" element is translated to "Sons Leves". It's a bad translation because it's not intuitive. As a Brazilian Portuguese native speaker, would be better "Lite Sounds" or "Sons Lite". And, for the "Lite Widget", "Widget leve" Is not a good translation. Should be "Lite Widget". Everything that is related to the Lite system should have "Lite" and not "Leve". Image: <a href="https://prnt.sc/RQjMsb3T6plM" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://prnt.sc/RQjMsb3T6plM</a><br />
<br />
And should have an alias to the Control Panel named "Painel de Controle" because it is super intuitive and it just doesn't exist, as you can see here: <a href="https://prnt.sc/h-Q0TqP8Z5Ra" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://prnt.sc/h-Q0TqP8Z5Ra</a><br />
