Little bit annoyed and miffed why there is no progress display or update to show when you are updating the system after install. Once you reboot from install and follow the on screen menu that pops up.. the first item is update system, but when selected and click on update, the box closes and then there is nothing to say if it is doing anything, how far through it is or anything without having to open up processes in terminal which is highly annoying and not clear for new users to linux.


Have i missed something on the update side of things or is this how it is please.


This is on a toshiba laptop, 2gb ram, 500gb hd and a dual core centrino cpu.

Happy new year firstly to all.

I'm Orobas from the UK. I'm also a senior mod for another highly ranked linux operating system which i have been involved with since 2004 which sadly is on the verge of closing down due to the owner being awol with real life commitments. I've been using debian and ubuntu based linux systems on and off since 1993 where my first experience was with knoppix and since then, linux has always been there as a back up pc for when my windows or mac pc's go down. I like to keep 1 windows, 1 mac and 1 linux desktop on the go along with 1 windows and 1 linux laptop. I also use a raspberry pi with various arm linux versions.

Looking forward to working with you folks here on this forum

After installation of Linux Lite and an Upgrade my bluetooth doesnt seem to work now. I cant connect to any bluetooth device nor can it scan any device at all. It does turn on though but it doesnt seem to work, If I do Setup New Device I get an error saying "No Adapters Found".

Thanks in advance

Your thoughts please. Thank you.

I TOLD NEWTUSMAXIMUS HOW TO GET INTO THAT PHONE AND GRAP THE DATA NEEDED, BUT HE MAY NEED SOME HELP WITH "ADB" IF HES NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT.. ANY ADB GURU'S HERE MIGHT OFFER A HAND TO HIM IF HE STILL HAS THE PHONE.. JUS SAYIN...

I INSTALLED MATE DESKTOP.. 3 EASY STEPS.. WORKS LOOKS GREAT !

I  have been a linux user for several years..probably 10.. it sure has come along way.. like most..im disgusted with windows..finally had to remove the dual boot..just couldnt even tolerate win 7 anymore..much less 10.  So ive used mint LMDE 2 for years.. outstanding and rock solid.. then came 3.. UGLY SLOW.. had to bail.. tried about 10 lightweight distros.. YUCK.. then I FOUND LINUX LITE.. DAM..THIS THING IS AWESOME...(4.2)... needs a few fixes..but NICE... THEN..TRIED 4.6.. It was OK..UNTIL THE UPDATE...UGHHHHHH..... WHAT ARE YOU DOING ??????
  THE FIRST THING IT DID WAS WRECK MY DESKTOP..AND INSTALL SOME UTTERLY GARBAGE VERSION OF WHAT SOMEONE THOUGHT WOULD BE " BETTER" ...  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!  IN FACT..SO ANNOYING..SO BAD..IVE GONE BACK TO 4.2..AND GOING TO STAY THERE ...JUST NOW REINSTALLED IT... OH...SWEET HAPPINESS AGAIN...

FROM NOW ON...HOW ABOUT YOU ASK US BEFORE JACKING UP OUR DESKTOPS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD.. NOW...WE CAN CONTINUE...
