Hola gente.

Tengo instalado, 3.8 como lo actualizo a 4.0?, desde internet. :

Hi there !

I saw Linux Lite screenshots on the website, so I wanted to give a try because it looks awesome. When I start the live usb, it's just so nice ! But once the system is installed, it's a mess. I have to configure a new panel (and it's nothing like the one in live session), then I have to manually set the theme, the windows decoration theme, the icon theme... Well, it's like if there is all to do, and I can't even change the menu applet or the clock applet to look like in the live session.

I have / on sda and /home on sdb, could it be the problem ? I tried to perform another install but the problem is always the same (of course, I format the partitions every time to be sure there is nothing in my /home messing with the install). I tried again to perform another one in English (I am french so the two first times I used French as my language of choice), but still, same problem.

Is there any way to get the same environment that the live session ?

Thank you for any help

installed 4.0


everything works except



on boot get


error: no suitable video mode found
error: no video mode activated


then boots after a short time


bluetooth appears to work, but can't find any devices.

I tried to find an answer to my question on the board. Couldn't find it, but am I the only one who's wondering if I have to install all programs etc. again from scratch after installing V. 4.0 or is there another way?
I'm all ears!!

(SOLVED) I was running linuxlite 3.8 back in November and laptop would freeze after 20 minutes or so... Got it fixed by getting the info I needed (changed a line in grub or something). I just upgraded to Linuxlite 4.0 and it has started again. I can't find the information now. I think I had to add a line of commands to grub or something. I wish I could remember. Anybody have any ideas?[/color]

On the 31st, found that V4 was available.  So got it and then did the install.  Reboot did not load.  Redid install.  Reboot did not work.  Replaced drive, did reinstall two more times.  Went back to 3.8.  Reboot did not boot.  Worked my way back down to 3.0 and finally it worked.  I had just then realized there was a 2gb SD card in the slot.  Saw it each time I did load, but feeble mind thought it was part of 1tb drive.  Well, I'm at 4.0 and liking it much.  Thought ya'll would like this happenstance. 8)

Hi, I have 2 machines, each of which have more than one user. I'm currently on LL 3.8, FYI. I'd love to move to 4.0, and I'm wondering about setting it up for multi-user. I feel there must be a more efficient way than what I did last time?!

Last time I installed LL, I set up my desktop preferences by pointing and clicking (fonts, toolbar, etc etc). This took easily 30 mins or more (most of it spent setting up the desktop appearance).

Then, I created the other 2 user accounts and set up the fonts, toolbar, etc etc by pointing and clicking and repeating all those steps, even though I wanted the same desktop appearance as the main account. Needless to say this took at least another hour (30 mins or so for each user account). Is there a way to set up the desktop appearance for my 2 users to default to the same as that of my admin?

I am using 3.8 and it has been so long since I changed series...can somebody tell me the steps to install the new 4.0?

On a fresh LL 4.0 install synaptic considers 930+ packages being "local or obsolete". What should I do about this?

Release Announcement

Linux Lite 4.0 Final is now available for download.

This release marks the beginning of Series 4.x Codename Diamond.

The main changes in Linux Lite Series 4.x include a new icon and system theme, Timeshift for system backups, Shotwell to manage and perform basic edits on images, MenuLibre to manage menu entries, new Lite applications including Lite Desktop that manages common icons on the Desktop, Lite Sounds to manage system wide sounds, and many of our existing applications have been updated.

See below for all the changes:

- Minimum recommended specs have been raised slightly to more realistic levels (RAM, CPU).
- There are no more 32bit ISO releases. If you still require a 32bit OS due to hardware limitations, Series 3.x is supported through to April 2021.
- XFCE Pulseaudio plugin, has been added to the system tray for highly customizable options regarding volume management.
- Full disk encryption now replaces home encryption in the installer (an Ubuntu implementation).
- The new boot splash also shows you the password field in GUI for encrypted partitions.
- Ubuntu no longer offers an opportunity to set a swap partition. A swap file is now automatically created for you which is a maximum of 2gb or 5% of free disk space (an Ubuntu implementation).
- Compositing is now enabled out-of-the-box.

New Theme (Adapta) and Icon (Papirus) sets.

Faenza icons were dropped as it had not been maintained in some time (albeit there is a fork) and the same for the Arc theme, development seems to have stalled there. Most of our approach to theming in Series 4.x follows the popular Flat design focus. We also now use the Openzone mouse theme.





Language Support - Is improved in this Series. You should get most Menu items in your native language if that is what you chose during the install. Menu items that are not in your native language were either modified by us to give a clearer description, or are Linux Lite applications (slated for translation Series 5.x). You still may need to configure your keyboard post-install. Feedback on this improvement is welcome. I think we've reached a good balance by keeping our legendary fast install process, and offering language support ootb post-install.

Lite Desktop

Lite Desktop is a convenient way for you to get to frequently accessed locations on your computer.



Note - This is currently only supported in US English. As a workaround if you are using anything else other than US English, once you have updated the the system to full language support, rebooted, and in this example we'll use French, copy all the icons from /home/youruser/Desktop to /home/youruser/Bureau. You can then delete the icons you don't want to see (right click delete).

Help Manual

Has been majorly updated. All content and images have been updated. This was a massive undertaking (nearly 3 weeks of continuous full time work), so please take advantage of our easy to follow guide.



Lite Sounds

For the first time in Linux Lite we now have working system sounds. Head to Menu, Settings, Lite Sounds and configure sounds the way you want. By default, the start up and log out sounds are enabled by default, the rest of the system sounds are disabled by default. To enable system wide sounds, simply click on the Enable System Sounds button at the top. There is still some work to do here, but this is a great start.



Timeshift

Timeshift replaces Systemback for system backups. If you intent to use Timeshift you should have at least a 125gb HDD/SSD or larger storage device to accommodate up to 5 snapshots. Systemback is not supported in the 18.04 base. An external storage device is highly recommended, but not essential. In lieu of an external storage device, a separate partition at least 125gb plus is recommended so you need to think carefully how you will partition during Series 4.x installations.



Linux Lite branded applications



Are now easy to find under Menu, Settings and under System in the Settings Manager. They are distinguishable by their unique design and black background. A huge thank you to [member=5059]whateverthing[/member] for his designs here. He also responsible for creating our new Lite feather logo and Diamond (and Final) wallpapers for this release.

New Terminals

We've replaced LXTerminal with XFCE Terminal thanks to your feedback. We've added Powerline to the prompt, and put in some basic system information at the top of the terminal for both the user and Administrator modes.



MenuLibre

Menu management has been improved with the introduction of MenuLibre. Now, when sub-menu applications appear not to be in alphabetical order, resorting is just a click of a button in our heavily customized XFCE menu. You can find it in Menu, Settings, Menu Editor. To sort a sub menu, expand the sub menu tree, click on the first application then click on the sort button (see image below).

If the screen locks during Live mode, type linux into the user box and click on the Login button (no password required)

Addendum

GTK vs GTK3 - We're well aware that the appearance of Calculator, Font Viewer, PDF Viewer and File Search differs from other apps (albeit a minor cosmetic difference) and are unlikely to be noticed by our target Windows audience. Ease of use was the deciding factor in the choice of each of these applications and that overrides any cosmetic considerations, and always will given our target audience.

HiDPI - The 'I bought a 4k Monitor but still want to view things on my screen at double the DPI' rant.
This amuses me more that any other topic in the free software world. Why on Earth would you spend good money on a 4k screen, only to double size everything...why! It makes no sense at all. Yet some are marketing this as a convenience and or 'special feature'.
Does Linux Lite support HiDPI? The answer is, it always has to a certain extent. No special button, no magic pixie dust, just good old Settings Appearance, Fonts, DPI. If you're going to buy a 4k monitor please be sensible, think about it first. Hail XFCE.

Known Issues:

If you are using a language other than English, the Menu shortcuts for My Computer will not work.

Performance Tips:

- For start up (boot time) - if you have no plans to run VirtualBox, and you want faster boots, you can remove it's supported additions:
