So I reinstalled Linux Lite today.  I've used it and other distros in the past and its been good.  This time the update failed.
Hmmm.  I pop into the forums and its the usual gobbledygook.  Use this and try that.  I removed a repo and its all good but I wonder how a new user to Linux would fare.  Linux Lite is supposed to be newbie friendly.    Several months ago a question I had never was answered.    I expect to RTFM with Arch or Fedora or even Debian.  The point of Mint, Ubuntu and distros like Linux Lite is ease of use and failed updates when new users try the distro out, ain't that.

I have a Dell Latitude D620 64 bit OS, In 2.8 release we had google and Netflix working. Now in the 3.0 release there is no google and no Netflix. Is there a fix for this?

One thing that is needed primarily during the minutes right prior to an install.... is cloning software.  If you make it easy for people to copy their existing installation before the installer does some partition shrinking, then they are more likely to have done that backup - and be happier if something goes wrong.

Thanks !

Hi,

I'm enjoying the new release. Naturally there are a few wrinkles I'd like to see sorted.

I'm having problems with scrolling in LibreOffice. I'm currently using ThinIce, but every theme I've tried presents no scroll bar steppers. That wouldn't be too bad, but the scrollbar itself doesn't function correctly. When clicking on it, the shuttle, instead of progressing by one page, jumps to the point of the click. This makes where you click the scrollbar critical, and on long documents this is not workable. I've been reduced to using the PgDwn or Ctrl-Down keys.

I've tried to modify the ThinIce gtk-2.0 file, which I did successfully in LL 2.8, to no avail.

One other problem I'm having is that a lot of windows have no handles on their bottom edges for resizing. I have to position the window at the bottom of the screen and then use the handle at the top-right to expand upward.

Be well.

I used to have EMET when I was using Microsoft. Unfortunately another warning about the plug ins of Adobe Flash and Java.
Never ends.

Hi,

I just upgraded Linux lite from 2.8 to 3.0

Previously, I could print word document to Epson L355 in Linux Lite 2.8
Now, after upgrade to 3.0, the driver can not be installed via Synaptic Package Manager. When I marked the  "epson-inkjet-printer-201207w" then there is a message "could not mark all packages ....."
OR
another way, I have tried to add the printer via  "configure printer' menu, however, the installed driver is not for L355. 

If you have any ideas or hints how to install it, please let me know.

Thanks,

Syaiful

Okay, here's the deal.

After installing LL3.0 i added my own language to Language acc this: https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/install.html#setlang.

I moved my language to the top, pressed Apply system-wide buttons on both tabs and did a reboot. Instead of changing ALL entries to my native language, i'm now stuck with a system which is partially Dutch and partially English.

How can this be fixed? Or is this a bug? And beside that, why is LL not able to set language right in the first place, like during the setup when you have to select your native language. All other *buntu and *buntu-based distro's are capable of doing so, but LL is the only distro not capable doing this??

But the question remains:
How can this be fixed? Or is this a bug?

Thanks!

Saying hello. Been using 2.8 for a little bit on an old netbook for something to do for a while and Just installed 3.0 last night and hit first snag. Figured I'd sign up and ask.... But this is just to say hi.

Will be installing LL 3 to a Samsung 850 evo ssd. Do I still need to follow the enabling trim guide in the help manual? Or will LL 3 setup it automaticly?
