I have to enter password 5 - 6 times to log on

Suddenly when starting Zorin, I immediately open Google then get the login popup. But after entering the PW, it closes, then a couple of seconds later, pops up again. This has been going on for several weeks. Last week every time I turned on the computer, I get the popup login screen, after entering PW on 4 occasions, it was OK. This week, a few minutes ago, it required 6 attempts to log in

That is 1 problem

I have had a second problem where I get the Ubuntu "update" popup, I select yes, enter the PW and after a while while everything looks good during the download, suddenly I get an error message that there is something wrong with my internet connection so it could not update the computer. ???? I can easily go to the browser and have no issues.

The computer is a Dell Latitude E6400 setup as a dual boot (originally Windows 7) and Zorin OS9. 256G SSdrive, 8 Geg ram. and have been having these issues for weeks.

as an FYI, I upgraded the other side to Windows 10, but the problems on the Zorin side did not change or get worse.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Joe

Hi, Sorry to hear of your woes - first off you are not logging in with Guest Account? If not then please take a look here:

Please be sure to read all of the information on the link given.

As to updates this 'might' be where you get your updates from - Open Software Updater (Menu | System Settings | Administration | Software Update) - after it has run once and settled, click on 'Settings' button on bottom left of interface, go to the first tab and change your 'Source' to 'Main Server' - see if that resolves the update issue? Also make sure that Updates to latest Ubuntu are set to 'NEVER' - third tab I think - using latest MakuluLinux in live mode - hence the 'think'!
