Hello, litelovelinux!
Welcome to the Linux Lite community.
Possibly. My newest little Dell netbook uses an AMD A6 CPU, and I also have an issue with logout/shutdown when trying to use LL 2.X. No errors for me, mind you - it just takes F-O-R-E-V-E-R for the logout window to finally appear, whether LL was installed in Legacy or UEFI modes.
I never thought of it that way before, but with you mentioning that, I agree.
In the past, suggestions were made to me as to how I might overcome this. I didn't want to mess with things too at the time - I just installed Ubuntu MATE instead. However, with LL 2.4 now out, and with my preferring both Linux Lite and its unique community, as soon as I back up what I have now, I'll try again.
Perhaps I can find that post, or perhaps gold_finger can remember what he told me at the time better than I can. I think it had something to do with X. Also, I THINK doing something like [CTRL-ALT-F1], [CTRL-ALT-F8], then [CTRL-ALT-F1] might have temporarily broken the catatonic logout/shutdown spell somehow...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
