Catfish file search - updating data base asking for authentication as superuser
#8
Hi [member=7067]JanetBiggar[/member]  Is "Numlock" enabled ?  Quite often when log in "Numlock" is disabled and inputting the password works, but afterwards as you reach the desktop Linux Lite enables "Numlock" by default. This would then make the password incorrect if you use any key that has been locked by "Numlock".

Usually there is any indicator light to show "Numlock" is on, but a quick way to test is to try "sudo apt update" and try inputting your password when requested. If this fails because of invalid password then I'd guess numlock is on and you can disable it using an F key or more permanently using Lite-Tweaks Smile
