Sorry I appear to have ruffled a few feathers with my post.I first asked the question but perhaps in the wrong section of the forum a while ago, and had a brief response from Trinidad which I answered:
https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/on-to...internet'/so in fact I was not really being as impatient as all that
From Jerry's answer "how dare you" I take it that he is irritated that he does not know the answer and so is shooting the messenger who raised the question. ;D
To be absolutely clear I am delighted with linuxlite and it is the only system I have it all my five computers. I regularly proselytize for it and have resisted all attempts from friends of mine to go over to Linux Mint.
BUT I have to point out that there is a problem here which I am trying to bring to your attention, and which in my case I am slightly able to mitigate because I can use terminal and synaptic which would not be the case of people coming straight from Windows.
The fact that Deep Thought find something similar in Xubuntu makes me think that there is a software problem, and it is not just me being stupid.
Thanks to him for the helpful suggestion which I will investigate, although as I explained I am on Wifi so won't find the ethernet managed I think.....it is greyed out.
Perhaps my second post born out of frustration of having waited for a reply for a couple of weeks seemed querulous; but I don't think it merited the aggression of the responses it received.
