Release Announcement

Linux Lite 3.0 Beta is now available for testing. This release marks the start of the Series 3 release cycle. We are mindful of keeping that 'Linux Lite familiarity' in terms of look and feel. There have been a lot of changes, but we have remained loyal to our core - Simple, Fast and Free. Once again, the community is instrumental in our direction. See below for all the changes.



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.



Share Hardware Configuration (Lite Info) - With this new addition, we've already had 400+ submissions to the Linux Lite Hardware Database. 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.

Linux Lite Hardware Database - https://www.linuxliteos.com/hardware.php



Tray Icons - We've removed Indicator Plugin. Now there is a separate volume control - Volti. If people accidentally delete items from their tray, they are easily put back by either running 'volti' from the Menu or logging out/in again.



New Theme - We've adopted the popular Arc theme for several reasons. One, it looks great. Two, it's regularly maintained. Three, because it's a part of Lite Themes (see below) we can easily adapt it to our needs. Four, there are three themes within, Arc, Arc-Dark and Arc-Darker so it you want the all out dark look, it's easy to select. Five, it's light.

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. We'll most likely add the Firefox Arc theme to the Final - https://github.com/horst3180/arc-firefox-theme

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.

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.

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.

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

Screenshot - Now has the ability to upload to our preferred image hoster, Imgur.



ISO size - Software grows in size, it happens with time. We will always look for ways to 'trim the fat'. At the moment, this is the best we can do.

Games Menu - Dropped in Series 3. Steam is now installable via Lite Software for both 32bit and 64bit. It made sense not to include gaming software in the Menu that only a few people would use. The majority of our users just want a basic Internet, Office and Multimedia operating system.

Wallpaper - New wallpapers. The default wallpaper in this Beta represents the start of Series 3 with our Codename Gem - 'Citrine' at the center of attention. The final default wallpaper has yet to be decided upon.

Help Manual - Will not be fully updated until the Final is released. For now there are just a few changes. View the Help Manual in this Beta release as a 'placeholder' for now, although much of the information is still completely relevant.

Firefox 46.0
Thunderbird 38.7.2

Thank you

hey guys, i cant decide where to go for an webhost i looking at either WPegine or Ghost. i trying to make an Linux Blog.

Hello!  First time reporting a problem.  As a newb, I'll give it my best shot.

WHAT IS HAPPENING:
Three buttons in the Menu are not responding:  "Install / Remove Software" "Partition Drives" and "Firewall" Buttons.  They are not transparent and were all active as of last week, 3 months after I installed LinuxLite on this machine*. When I click on it, nothing is happening.  Everything else in the Menu works.  My LinuxLite 2.8 is as-out-of-the-box, with very few additions.

WHAT I TRIED:
I didn't fiddle with the Whisker Menu prior to this, but I took a look anyway and everything is "ticked" as it should.  I've check all logs but my untrained eyes couldn't spot anything related to my problem. And I've spent some time reading here but didn't find anything similar.  I may try to restore but I'm not there yet.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR:
I'd like to understand why this is happening and how to make these important buttons work again.

*This is not the computer described in my profile.  It's a 2008 Compaq Presario CQ60,  3G Ram, AMD Sempron NVidia GEForce 8200M G

Regards,

Whenever I download a package from the LL repository, using Synaptic Package Manager, gdebi automatically installs it but I have no record of the package saved in downloads.

My questions is how do I download a package to the 'Downloads' folder without gdebi automatically installing it?

Thanks for your help
Mike

My cpu and/or memory max out and slow the computer  too easily. With only Firefox running, and only 3-6 tabs open, sometimes even less, I experience slowdowns and /or crashes. Hoping a resource friendly browser might help.
Synatic icon legend tells me Midori package is not supported, but a forum search tells me some users are using or have used Midori succesfully, so I tried it. I downloaded and installed  Midori successfully via synaptic. Found Midori icons in start menu/Internet/Midori. Opening it failed with the following message.

Error - file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html

The page 'file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html' couldn't be loaded.

Error opening file: No such file or directory

Try again

Not sure what to do. I added Midori-dbg as a wild guess but that didn't help. Midori home page offers downloads for Ubuntu. Is that a recommended way to add this software to Linuxlite?
Suggestions welcome.

Hi Folks,

What I'd like to do is set up a class C network of 4 computers. I want to be able to share info between all 4 of them locally but only 2 of the machines will be able to access the internet while the other 2 cannot have any internet traffic going in or out. I've spent a fair amount of time trying to read up on how I could do this but didn't really find anything that explained things in a clear way. I did find one article that had a bit of helpful info but it still isn't enough for me to solve this project.

I have 2 Linksys routers, I set the first router address to 192.168.1.1, the second router was set to a different subnet 192.168.2.1, the first router has the cable modem going into the WAN port. Then I linked up a ether cable from one of the LAN ports on the first router and had that going into the WAN port of the second router. I got a computer hooked up to the 2nd router by way of a LAN port but it still had access to the Internet. Is there any way to shut off any Internet traffic to any computers connected to the 2nd router but still have them capable of sharing stuff locally ?

Anyway, I need a bit of help from someone who knows more about how to do this as I am going around in circles. I think I can put this together if someone can get me pointed in the right direction.

Thanks,

Glin22
