There is a lot of interest these days in the inevitable demise of 32bit OSs. After some prodding I began work today on a Debian 9 XFCE based Linux Lite desktop. I intend to base it on the Debian net install ISO rather than its own and package the DE separately, or simply set up a file download with instructions for modifications and package cues. I will automate the updater and mirror selector similar to LL but everything will be Debian when done and use Debian repos only with a few backported apps like the S/M checker and user manager. This is where I stopped today to catch up on my notes.

'Ubuntu adds ‘Minimal Install’ option to installer'
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/02/ubun...all-option
Hi, Jerry
Will this option be available in the Linux Lite 4X series installer?
Or could a similar option be included in the 4x series 'Welcome Screen'. New users coming from Windows or other distros could still get the complete out-of-the-box experience that Linux Lite so generously offers, however more seasoned users could choose to conveniently opt-out of some apps they may prefer not to use - such as Gimp, Thunderbird etc (which I remove).
Thanks.
............. ever notice that 4-letter programs are a P A I N :-\
GRUB,
WINE,
WORD,
JAVA,
Trying to trim-down my growing menu, and bumped into a few snags.
*Add new - weird problem after adding new program123 - appears OK in the editor, but hit the Start button and there are 5 new program123 !!!
Re-run the editor and delete the 'clones' and it looks OK.
*However, new package install- Installed WINE & IrfanView - menu had 2 dozen! clones ??? Plus it added 6 IrfanView icons to the desktop !. Also installed proftpd - nothing appeared in menu.
*Add new sub-folder - How is that done ? I like sub-folders for "NeverUsed" "DOA" and such.
*Delete - Does it actually delete the item-launcher-file, or simply remove the menu entry ?
*Move - up&down in that folder works - move to another folder ? How?
Google says; drag&drop a launcher to the menu,,,, to where ?
Any help is appreciated.
I have a machine that refuses to remove the Hibernate and Suspend buttons from the shutdown dialog after setting them both to hide via Lite Tweaks.
Is there some other way to accomplish this? It wouldn't work in LL 3.6 and I just upgraded to LL 3.8 and it still doesn't appear to work.
However I do have several machines to it works completely fine on... I'm hoping for a manual way to this, maybe editing a file somewhere...
Dear all,
I just installed linux lite 3.38 32 bit on my old laptop. Installation went fine. After installation I started for the first time, and everything worked out-of-box. I restarted system and now I'm stuck on splash screen, without option to go to the console mode. When I choose in the grub to start 4.4.0-112-generic (upstart) I can reach console, and from there with startx i'm getting GUI.
I have no idea how to solve the issue.
I found the app guys and I am sticking with it. It close source but no web and got an .Deb
Fadin is the app
God not dead. He roaring like an lion.
Salut TheDead!
J'ai lu ceci dans un de tes réçents posts:
Quote:Took the time to upgrade the BIOS, just in case.Pourrais-tu me dire comment tu fais la mise à jour de BIOS? J'ai un message d'erreur/upgrade BIOS chaque fois que je démarre LL, mais ça n'empêche pas le fonctionnement normal. Par prudence, j'aimerais bien pouvoir faire la mise à jour de BIOS sur mes deux machines. Ce que j'ai "googlé" ne me paraît pas clair. Dans ton cas, qu'est-ce que tu as fait?
Hi.
If installing Libre Office (any OS) as not part of OS, there would nomally be a shortcut named ust "Libre Office" without starting with any template. That opens a sort of "start screen" that show thumbnails of most recent documents.
To get here using the Libre Office that follow the OS install, I first have to navigate the menu and find Office New Document (or spreadshet or presentation), and from then I must close the document template to get where I can see the thumbnails screen.
My question:
[edit while still not posted]
Just figured it out.
Right click desktop New launcher in field command, just type "libreoffice" and it works ;D
That is the solution for the problem...
Dear All,
Is it possible to install Google Drive like Dropbox in Linux Lite?
