I already looked that this.... https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/insta...te-kernel/ And I see that we got a thread going on and on and on.
In Linux Mint there is a simple graphical installer for the kernels. When I'm running Mint I often have more than one kernel on my system and I also have the grub customizer to help me keep things in the order I want them in.
Currently I am running this machine specs.

One thing I don't understand about Ubuntu, Linux Lite and others based on Ubuntu is how to locate and install other kernels.
How can I can install kernel 3.13?
Don't worry if I can only get some other kernels installed I can recover from boot errors. I make the grub menu show up and all I need to do is select a different kernel if something doesn't go right.
Also how do you remove a kernel from Lite?
Does anyone know how to use the mouse wheel or keyboard shortcuts to scroll through gedit tabs? I know it can be done in Linux Mint Cinnamon, which I have running in a virtual machine at work. I cannot do either with gedit in Linux Lite.
I'm trying to learn Python, and it's a tad tedious when everything in the terminal is the same color. Does anyone know how to make a colored bash prompt in Linux Lite? I have seen the process demonstrated in this 1 minute video, but Linux Lite doesn't have the code in its /.bashrc file like the .bashrc file used in this video.

As the title says, how do i make linux lite look modern. Like some modern themes/icons. Sorry for my bad english.
Looking at this video today reminded me that I'd like to have color in the terminal prompt. It adds some contrast.

I'm a fan of Tux. Friendly, approachable, yet somehow crisp and computer-y. I think all Linux distros should, as a matter of branding, have him in their logos or icons. Different distros would have him in different situations, holding different tools, doing different things, wearing different accessories, etc. Or at the very least have the distro logo on his belly like a Care Bear.
Here's a link to an image I threw together of Tux sitting on the Linux Lite feather. In it, Tux is apparently so light the feather can support him as it floats about. What better way to convey not merely that this OS is light, as the feather on its own does, but also that this is a version of Linux, specifically, that is light?
Sorry to Jerry if this is sacrilege...

Hi
I followed the steps in Help Guide and stopped in this point.
This is my original fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=3675cb98-88ea-4020-aa45-03f6f2cd64c3 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=96b87783-47cb-4268-b3a2-0e5d63e770a6 none swap sw 0 0
After including noatime, :
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

UUID=3675cb98-88ea-4020-aa45-03f6f2cd64c3 / ext4 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=96b87783-47cb-4268-b3a2-0e5d63e770a6 none swap sw 0 0
because my ssd only have / partition, my edited rc.local file should be:
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
LOG=/var/log/trim.log
echo “*** $(date -R) ***” >> $LOG
fstrim -v / >> $LOG
echo " " >> $LOG
exit 0
Or should I keep the original rc.local file containing /boot and /home? I’m not sure
Thanks for help
Could Etcher be included in lite software.....?.
Just a thought.
I have just run the upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 - there were several System Program failures and at the end a screen showed that the upgrade had failed. However the system is indeed 16.04.1 LTS even though several packages were missing (Gparted, Pulse Audio, etc)
But at the first attempt to boot up the system I enter my password and nothing happens - simply the "Logging in ..." mention.
How can I break into a terminal from this screen? Or force the system into some sort of life. All the alternative boot entries are 16.04.1 so I can't go back to 14.04.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I have recently installed LL 3.0 on my family's Dell Precision M70 laptop (Intel Pentium M 740) which contains a Quadro FX Go 1440 nvidia card and with the install of latest legacy binary drivers (304...) through install drivers menu I have the option to use the preferred 1440x900 resolution instead of the 1920x1200 which just looks way too small on the screen. However my issue is that it does not actually set it to 1440x900 where the screen fits the resolution. Rather it seems the OS is still fully at 1920x1200 but shows only 1440x900 portion of it with the mouse scrolling the rest of the screen as it reaches the edge. How do I solve this so that the resolution is *actually* 1440x900 without scrolling the screen?
