Linux Lite 7.0 RC1 Released

[Şerban S.]

Comparing the code between master, 6.6 and 7.rc all the bashisms are the same, so the problem is with policy kit and the xfce terminal preconfiguration or Ubunbtu configuration file for Lite Tweaks. I've tried several solutions because I want to exhaust the possibilities but the bashisms are all comparable.

Hi!

I've been looking into the scripts myself and since they work alright on LL 6.6, they should in 7.0 too. Yet, an error related to user rights, constantly appears. So the only conclusion is some major change in the policy occured. Further more, it seems that somehow this policy change, is intertwined among lots of packages that are held due to versioning reasons.
As such, it is unlikely that the issue has an origin in the scripts. I found that the error messages are related to minor problems that are unlikely to cause the breaking of the code, since the code is executed on LL 6.6 and the errors are present in this version too.
Yet, another message appears, stating that writing in a file that require just a user name, is denied due to "AccessViolation" error. Which is impossible on a common file or directory.
The $USER variable, is never empty. On my computer, I chose the password login instead of "auto". That is my default installation for over 12 years.
So, there is at least my user name in $USER and I checked that repeatedly.
As I see it, all we can do is for the updates to come and see what that changes.
Another thing I've noticed, that the kernel now is a PREEMPTIVE version. This might require some changes in the policy also.
On the other hand, Ubuntu was buggy for years, when the new release was issued.
Takes time to put the pieces together. Time will clear the things up, I'm sure.
User input will narrow the search for bugs also. So, let's see what happens next.
I'll keep testing meanwhile. If any change happens, I guess at least a bit more can be seen in the output.
The script I put together, is simple but allows me to get the console output when and while Lite Tweaks works.
For now, I never passed the BeginButton_Click() event.
Yet, the script is running up to some point.
