Great news Jerry! I've just seen you made a Remove Additional Software as well. That was fast.

I like that new category column you added.
Thank you for the credits. ;D
One more usefull thing the --text supports bold, italic and unerline and the combination of those three.
Code:
--text="<b>Click</b> on the <i>program</i> you wish to <u>install</u>, then <i><b>click</b></i> the <u><b>Install button</b></u>. Sort Categories by clicking on the column."
Maybe something like this?
I can't make it better, maybe someone will figure it out.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Linux lite update script
x=$( gksudo -g --message 'To update package lists your password is required. Enter your password, or press Cancel.' "stdbuf -oL sudo apt-get update" |
stdbuf -oL sed -n -e '/\[*$/ s/^/# /p' -e '/\*$/ s/^/# /p'|
zenity --progress --title="Updating" --pulsate \
--width=600 --auto-close )
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Linux lite upgrade script
y=$( gksudo -g --message 'To install updates your password is required. Enter your password, or press Cancel.' "stdbuf -oL sudo apt-get -y upgrade" |
stdbuf -oL sed -n -e '/\[*$/ s/^/# /p' -e '/\.\.\.$/ s/^/# /p' -e '/\*$/ s/^/# /p' |
zenity --progress --title="Upgrading" --pulsate \
--width=600 )
Updates Beta is available to test. Make 2 files,
betaupdates and
updates.
In
betaupdates place the following code, then save and close:
Code:

Don't forget to change /home/
jerry/updates to /home/
youruser/updates.
In
updates place the following code, then save and close:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
sudo rm -rf /var/log/liteupdates.log && sudo rm -rf /var/log/liteupgrades.log
sudo apt-get update 2>&1 | tee /var/log/liteupdates.log && sudo apt-get upgrade -y 2>&1 | tee /var/log/liteupgrades.log
Make both files executable.
Open a terminal and do:
and let me know how you get on. Thank you for testing

I did a test run on the betaupdates and everything seems good. The logs open empty, is that expected?

Shouldn't, they fill with data at my end, lets see if others report the same. Thanks Scott

Don't forget to change /home/jerry/updates to /home/youruser/updates in the betaupdates file.
