Just a minor issue - I used the Kernel installer in Lite Tweaks to add a 3.16 kernel to my machine.

Noticed that after reboot it did not present grub menu - just booted to 4.xx as before.

Easy enough to fix but I wonder if there is an omission in the installer script?

Other than that so far really liking what's been done to LL in the last few years - 3.8 is really nice.

Hey dudes,

I got a notification saying that I can upgrade to Ubuntu 17.10 after I updated LL using the Software Updater. Will this change the my distro or just upgrade the Ubuntu base?

Thanks.

Hi

I used LL a lot some years back (2013) and was delighted to see that 3.8 supports installation of older kernels.

Some of my hardware will not behave properly with anything after 3.16 so this looks like a winner for me.

One question - do these kernels get all the security updates etc as and when they come through to the new ones or are they fixed?

Hey guys,

Hi EV1, back with a new laptop Asus X541S. I keep the almost new SSD drive from my old Inspiron 1501 with 3.6 on it and after 2 weeks, finally got feed up with Windows 10. Changed out HDD to SDD and fired it up. WaLa, off and running. Everything works and updated to 3.8, so far no problems. Had to change the hostname and that is all. Thanks Jerry and staff for this wonderful OS!

Still a tiny problem with 'suspend'.

I had suspend right here after an update some time ago, but after a recent update the problem was there once again. Every second time I suspend and boot, the pc holds for about three-quarter of a minute.
It looks it has something to do with the net connection, but I'm certainly not an expert. For the rest no problem.
No big deal, but a little strange in my opinion.
What could be done against it? :?:

Hey,
Something happened while I was uninstalling Wine and PlayOnLinux through Lite Software. The PlayOnLinux menu shortcut is still there when it is uninstalled. Sort of a nuisance. Tried updating and cleaning (sudo apt-get clean). Any help, please?

Until PCLinuxOS (PCLOS) discontinued support for 32 bit systems, like mine, I was a happy user, running a MATE desktop interface. They offered an easy to use Linux environment (important for a non-techie like me), excellent documentation, and a great, supportive user community.

In seeking a replacement for PCLOS, Linux Lite looks right. I would like to install it on my computer, but there are potential problems for which I would appreciate your help.

The computer is of an older vintage, as you might assume, since it is 32 bit, not 64 bit. It does, however, meet the specifications for 32 bit Linux Lite. It is set up as a dual boot, with PCLOS what it boots into at startup, and Windows XP being the other boot choice. Windows XP has not been connected to the Internet since Microsoft ended support. XP is, however, useful for some legacy programs.

The computer has been booting from Puppy Linux, of a couple of varieties, from DVD. It now boots from Xenialpup. Although launched from DVD, its small requirements means that it can run from RAM, of which the computer has 2GB. The hard drive is slightly over 100GB. Right now, the computer’s principal use is to connect to the Internet, but, with Linux Lite installed, there will be more uses.

Some old notes I found indicate that I used EaseUS Partition Master in accomplishing some part of the dual boot installation that exists now, which included shrinking the space available for XP. About 50GB of unallocated space was used for the PCLOS installation, which would seem to mean that 50GB will be available to install Linux Lite, which will be done from a DVD iso. I am not sure how many partitions were used for the current installation, but I do remember including a swap file. The installation was done a few years ago, so I do not remember most of the details.

QUESTIONS: I am finding varied online suggestions related to what I should do in replacing one Linux distro with another when there is already a dual boot. I wish to keep Windows XP intact, but there are no PCLOS files that I cannot lose.
(1) Should I, in some way, wipe out the existing Linux installation before installing Linux Lite?
(2) Should I just install Linux Lite on top of the existing PCLOS installation?
(3) Either way, how do I accomplish that?
(4) What about the swap file and any other files/partitions that are installed now?
(5) Will Xenialpup (Puppy Linux) be useful in determining the current partition structure, or in any other way?
(6) I believe that “Grub” came up in some way with the current installation. Am I right in assuming that it will come up again in accomplishing the new installation?

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you may have, and I thank you for your help!
