Linux Lite 2.2 Beta Released - Valtam - 11-13-2014 Release Announcement Linux Lite 2.2 Beta 1 is now available for testing. This release is the culmination of ideas and suggestions from the community that improve upon Linux Lite 2.0. We've added Backups a very simple to use backup utility, Date & Time, File Search and our newest members to the Linux Lite software family, Lite Cleaner - an easy to use point and click system cleaner and Lite Welcome - greets you on first boot, gives useful information about Linux Lite including Updates, Support and Development. There are also improvements to Install Additional Software, allowing you to choose multiple programs at once to install. There is also 'Check Install Media' that has been added to the Live boot menu and finally, we've added some community created Linux Lite themed wallpapers. As usual, you still get the latest LibreOffice, VLC, Wine and Gimp. New Program locations: Backups - Menu > Accessories > Backups File Search - Menu > Accessories > File Search Date & Time - Menu > Settings > Date & Time Lite Cleaner - Menu > System > Lite Cleaner inxi has been added by request. New adjustable size mouse theme added. Mumble has been dropped. Added md5sum check to right click menu. Added libreoffice-gnome to open files on a NAS. Launchers now use exo-open instead of xdg-open. Fixed power settings/screensaver conflict.

After careful discussion with the community, the overall feeling was that what we offered people in terms of software and function was of greater importance than fitting on a certain media size.

The image can be written to a 2gb or larger USB stick, or a writable DVD. Alternatively, you can use the dd command: sudo dd if=linux-lite-2.2-beta1-xxbit.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M where 'x' is the letter of your usb stick. In linux to find out the letter of your usb stick, open a terminal and type: df -h It is usually listed as 'media' or similar. Please see the built in Help Manual if you require a more detailed explanation of this procedure. There is no upgrade process from one Linux Lite version to the next because of all the in-between modifications. All Ubuntu 32bit kernels these days ship with PAE. Recommended Hardware/Minimal System requirements: 700 MHz processor+ 512 MB RAM+ 5 GB of hard-drive space+ VGA capable of 1024x768 screen resolution Either a DVD drive or a USB port for the iso Login to the live desktop is automatic. The first thing you MUST do after a fresh install of Linux Lite is run Menu, Favorites, Install Updates. As this is a beta release, there are bound to be bugs etc. Please help make the final stable for other people by participating in this Beta. Thank you.

After careful discussion with the community, the overall feeling was that what we offered people in terms of software and function was of greater importance than fitting on a certain media size. One way to test on legacy gear via usb and unetbootin is to make a PLOP CD and boot your usb that way. http://www.plop.at/en/ploplinux/livecd.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q3zsYCE5gA Though I have not done this yet with Linux Lite 2.2. I will be be trying this method out later on a p4 HP A350N with 2 gig of ram with no USB boot capability in bios. it has a DVDRW it can boot from. But that would defeat the purpose of the test then. Wouldn't it? Edit: Did the test. PLOP cd works in conjunction with a Linux Lite 2.2 USB made on a Kingston 2 gig Data traveler using Unetbootin. Code: linux@linux:~$ inxi -zv7 The card reader in inxi was to post pics of my screen and computer but no mount in live session is cooperating with me. I already did a Code: mkdir /media/sdh So no pictures of plop boot screen with linux-lite. The video I posted should be easy enough to follow and knowing it works should be good enough. Edit. Here are the pics of boot screen and computer in shop showing proof of concept that legacy computers (XP with no usb or dvdrom bios boot capability) will boot from usb ![]() ![]() Signing Off. Rok. Re: Linux Lite 2.2 Beta Released - Teddy - 11-13-2014 Wowie! Jerry, this release looks stellar! I will try this as soon as I can and give you a bit of feedback. BTW, nice to be back to these forums again. School has kept me away from here, lol. Re: Linux Lite 2.2 Beta Released - Valtam - 11-13-2014 Cheers Rok, thanks for the test. Good to know Plop works with the latest LL ![]() |
