I have just upgraded LL2.4 to 2.6 on two of my laptops.

For the UEFI dual-boot set-up, upgrading appeared to complete fine, except that following rebooting the Lite Control Cented refused to open, as in all subsequent reboots...
... is there anything I can do to kick it into action?

Thanks in advance for any help
Mike

Have you tried reinstalling?  Below is the old fashioned way to install the beta version.  I'm not sure if this is for the production version.

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lite-controlcenter

You could try opening Install/Remove Software and marking it for reinstallation that way.

Thanks torreydale - I tried both options that you suggested, following removal of lite-controlcenter, but again, lite-controlcenter stubbornly refuses to open when clicked on...

Can you open a terminal and type

Code:

lite-controlcenter

and share any output.

Thanks shaggytwodope.  The output from the terminal is as follows:

mike@mike-G750JS:~$ lite-controlcenter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 2135, in _find_spec
AttributeError: 'DynamicImporter' object has no attribute 'find_spec'

Not sure how it was removed, but please install this pacakge:

Code:

sudo apt-get install gir1.2-webkit-3.0

and try to open control center again using the terminal.

Not sure how it was removed, but please install this pacakge: Code: [size=1em]sudo apt-get install gir1.2-webkit-3.0[/size] and try to open control center again using the terminal.

I entered the code for installing webkit.  I wasn't sure what code to use to open the application from the terminal, so instead went to open lite-controlcenter directly from the Menu.
It worked  - many thanks for your help with this shaggytwodope - much appreciated.

What code should I use for opening any application from the terminal?

Cheers
Mike

In this case its lite-controlcenter like I mentioned in my previous post. This is done sometimes to debug and issue. Glad it's working for you now. Thanks for letting us know, and it had been fixed now.

Hello!

Who da man? SHAG da man!

Installing Onboard on my Dell 3135 netbook breaks Lite Control Center here. It must mess with gir-webkit somehow.

Reinstalling gir-webkit fixed me up, too.Sure is nice to have BOTH Onboard AND LCC again!

I am having problems again, with opening the Linux Control Center in LL2.6

The output from the terminal is as follows:

mike@LL-G750JS:~$ lite-controlcenter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 2158, in _find_spec
AttributeError: 'DynamicImporter' object has no attribute 'find_spec'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    'introspection typelib not found' % namespace)
ImportError: cannot import name WebKit, introspection typelib not found

When this happened before (see previous posts on this thread), it was fixed by installing girl.2-webkit-3.0, but in this instance this didn't seem to work - here is the output from the terminal...

mike@LL-G750JS:~$ sudo apt-get install girl.2-webkit-3.0
[sudo] password for mike:

Any help is much appreciated.
Many thanks & Merry Christmas
