Have you fixed the problem with grub.i.e. Linux Lite versions 2 had been altered to be more friendly to shared boots with Windows 7. This alteration left Linux Lite 2 less compatible with multiple Linux Distro installations. Earlier versions of Linux Lite did not (according to this information)  link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2318826 suffer from the same limitations.
This grub problem is is a real pain. If this is still the case (as it was on lite3 beta) ,Can someone paste a custom 40. boot instruction.

I've recently been trying to upgrade now I'm getting a black screen saying gave up waiting for root device

Alert dev mapper Linux root VG root does not exist dropping to shell!

Busybox v1.21.1

Enter 'help' for a list of commands

This is not full text as I'm using my phone to help

Presenting Linux Lite 3.0 Final

Default Wallpaper - the default Final wallpaper represents the colors of our gem codename - Citrine accompanied by the Linux Lite logo.

Lite Software - Lite Software has had an overhaul. We've added icons where there were Select boxes (thank you Misko). This helps people who identify with images and branding to easily locate their favorite software. You can select multiple programs to install by holding down Ctrl or Shift. We've also added Audacity (audio editor), Calibre (eBook reader and manager) and Pinta (Windows Paint.Net look-a-like) thanks to your suggestions.

Folders access from the Menu - Another community suggestion that fits perfectly with those transitioning from Windows, our target audience. Menu, My Computer.

New Login Screen - By common request, the new Login Screen is now keyboard navigable. Press Tab (for the login box) and F10 (for the Shutdown/Reboot menu). You can also now customize the Login screen. Open the Menu and type in 'lightd' and select LightDM GTK+ Greeter settings.



Share Hardware Configuration (Lite Info) - With this new addition, we've already had 600+ submissions to the Linux Lite Hardware Database (1800+ computers in total since the beginning). Now included starting with Series 3, this software helps those who are potentially looking to install Linux Lite, to see what computers other people are running Linux Lite on. Just a note, if you're using VirtualBox, please don't submit any reports with Share Hardware Configuration, the last thing we need is a hardware page full of virtual machines Menu, System, Share Hardware Configuration.

New Theme - We've adopted the popular Arc theme for several reasons. It looks great, it's regularly maintained, because it's a part of Lite Themes (see below) we can easily adapt it to our needs, there are three themes within, Arc, Arc-Dark and Arc-Darker so if you want the all out dark look, it's easy to select, and the theme is light. Firefox also carries the Arc theme in the aforementioned 3 options.

Lite Themes - A new package that incorporates, themes, icons, mouse themes and wallpapers. This allows us to easily deploy updates without using complex bash code. If other system packages make changes that affect our themes, we can quickly adapt with an updated package. There have been a number of theme enhancements since the Beta and we will continue to refine this theme based on your feedback in future updates.

Lite Upgrade - You'll now receive upgrades from within Series 3 automatically. Upgrades are a serious necessity in terms of security and bug fixes. If we add something you don't like, we'll make sure you can easily remove it. This has to be one of the most streamlined upgrades for any LTS distro.

New Boot Theme - Updated to new look, prompt to eject DVD or USB now appears at the end of the installation.

Less PPA's - Means faster Updates, and increased reliability. The Google saga experienced this year has proved to be a valuable lesson (see below). The only PPA's are for Gimp, Wine and Systemback - they have not let us down to date.

Google Software - Once burned, twice shy. The Google PPA issues this year has left a sour taste in my mouth. No Google products will appear in Lite Software for the entirety of Series 3. You can still get Chrome etc from the internet. A huge thank you to those who helped people who's Updates were not working. I know this has been a p.i.t.a. and I would like to recognize this community for assisting people with the Google fix. We'll look at reintroducing Google software in Lite Software in Series 4. Let's see how things pan out over time. Chromium is a more than capable Chrome replacement.

UEFI - Will not be supported in Series 3. People already know my position on this, we've had our discussions here on UEFI. We can still bring people to Linux Lite, with a little BIOS guidance. There are a lot of resources both in these Forums and in video tutorials in regard to working with UEFI in Linux Lite.

Kernels - All previous, current and future Linux Lite Kernels will be available throughout Series 2 & 3, 4 and so on...

Indicator Plugin - Is back. Volti shows promise, but is not ready for reliable deployment yet.

Numlock - Is enabled at the Login screen.

SystemD - You can manage services that start up in Linux Lite similar to the way you manage services that start up in Windows. We have packages for both 32bit and 64bit for SystemD Manager. This application was excluded from Linux Lite 3.0 to gauge public feedback first. To install SystemD Manager:

Hello, just installed Lite and trying to customize. There is a panel right next to Menu with Firefox etc, as default. I removed Firefox, installed Chromium, right-clicked Chromium and "Add to panel". I then got the Chromium icon in the bottom right corner. How can I move it to the left panel where the other icons are? (Home folder, Terminal, Lite Control Center) Right click > Panel > Add new items doesn't seem to offer the choice to add Chromium, it only wants plugins.

So, how can I put a Chromium icon in my left panel? Thanks.

Might want to check this out. I use Firefox or Google Chrome. Google Chrome unfortunately is based on Chromium as is Opera.

This is a very simple kernel installer I've started working on. At this stage, I haven't decided if this will develop into a LL package, but people have asked for it.

The code so far:

On a laptop installation, a battery indicator is essential. But I found that it wasn't installed. Inexperienced users might not realize this. Right-click the Panel, then Panel > Add New Items, choose "Power Manager Plugin", Add.

Hi,

On Linux Lite 3.0 beta, I can't get connected to the internet with my wifi adapter.

My adapter is a Realtek RTL8191SU.

Is there a solution for this adapter?
