Would you folks mind running Lite Updates, then running Menu > Settings > Lite Info afterwards to submit your hardware configuration?

This would let me know that things are working as they should again. Thank you Smile

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: https://prnt.sc/60xTCv_iPeuO

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: https://prnt.sc/RQjMsb3T6plM

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: https://prnt.sc/h-Q0TqP8Z5Ra

I'm enjoying the Linux Lite experience and it is a great OS. I would be pleasured to make this project even better. Smile

Then I installed ubuntu-22.04.2-desktop-amd64 just fine. It went past that "preparing ubuntu-drivers..." phase in just a minute or a few.

Another unrelated note about wireless.
When tried LinuxLite 6.4 Live, it did not pick up the built-in wireless. Had to use an external USB WiFi adapter.
When installed ubuntu-22.04.2-desktop-amd64, it picked up built-in wireless adapter just fine, without updating anything from the internet.

The Specs:
MacBook Air Core i5 (I5-4260U) 1.4GHz 13" (Early 2014)
Family: Early 2014
Intro: April 29, 2014, Disc.: March 9, 2015
ID: MacBookAir6,2
RAM: 4 GB
VRAM: 1.5 GB

Hope it helps.

The fix:

Code:
sudo exo-open /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml

or:

Code:
sudo mousepad /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml

Your file may look similar to this:

Code:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

# For more information, see netplan(5).

network:

  version: 2

  renderer: networkd

  ethernets:

    enp0s3:

      dhcp4: yes

change it to:

Code:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

# For more information, see netplan(5).

network:

  version: 2

  renderer: networkd

Code:
sudo exo-open /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml

or:

Code:
sudo mousepad /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml

Your file may look similar to this:

Code:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

# For more information, see netplan(5).

network:

  version: 2

  renderer: networkd

  ethernets:

    enp0s3:

      dhcp4: yes

change it to:

Code:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

# For more information, see netplan(5).

network:

  version: 2

  renderer: networkd

so, remove the last 3 lines.

Reboot.

Don't do this if your network icon appears normally, yet you still have the additional 3 lines in the above mentioned file. Leave it as is.

so this is what i have observed
in the first hr of use, i have plugged in and out multiple HDD/thumbdrives (by the normal mounting + unmounting rituals).
then i noticed 1 of the 2 HDD disappeared from the thunar left hand panel
i didnt think it is a biggie maybe a loose port?

after i rebooted, the 2 HDD n 2 other thumbdrives are there as usual
then after i added the 2 HDD to places as shortcut, they both disappeared
under media/user folder the 2 drives are still present
so it is still in "system" and not "undocked"
i could add remove it as shortcut, but it no longer appears as a "drive" (disappears from devices)
it appears as 2 drives when i freshly reboot the system.
the 2 thumbdrives appear as "xxxx-xxxx" labels in the media/user folder
i was wondering, does it have anything to do with me renaming the drives as "10000" and "22222"?
(*edit : most * = latest comment)

****** i use filefreesync and it sees the 2 HDD, and could sync the files between it.

******* aha, so i close all the thunar instances and reopen a fresh 1, the 2 HDD reappears under devices. but the 2 no longer have the "undock" button which it used to have. the thumbdrives still have the "undock" button.

does this count as a bug?

cheers

DO NOT use the Prefix 'BUG' or anything else when creating your Thread title. An Admin, Active Developer or a Moderator will do that once it has been confirmed.

Example of what a Bug is

A 'Bug' means that a piece of Software either produces an error, and or it is not working or functioning as it should.

Example: You click on Lite Software and the window does not load. If we were to run Lite Software in a Terminal, we would see something like:

[Image: g3Ngi7q.png]

This is a Bug because the software does not work properly.

What is NOT a Bug

Example: You install Linux Lite, and your graphics card is only displaying at 800 x 600 when you know it's capable of a better resolution. This is NOT a Bug. This example would belong in the Hardware section under Video Cards. Hardware not working is NOT a bug. This is something that can usually be resolved with a file edit, a newer or the correct driver, or a kernel or system update for example.

How to report a Bug

If software is not working as it should, run the program's executable command in a Terminal, then report the Terminal output using: [ code ] terminal output here [ / code ] (without the spaces).

Eg:

[Image: KzXolKw.png]

How do I find a programs executable command?

Example - Let's say we want to run the Text Editor, Mousepad. Open a Terminal, and most of the time the file name and executable will be the same.
Start typing the name of the software in lower case eg. mousep then press the Tab key on your keyboard. The file name should auto-complete.
