i have 16 GB USB drive. When i plug it on  linux lite its not being detected.Before it used to work fine and the same usb drive when i plug it on windows it is detected and its also detected on Linux lite disk utility as well
but its not detected on linux lite.

I've read a number of comments on the internet now that state that 'upgrades in Linux Lite 3.x is like how Windows 10 is pushing their upgrades' This is possibly one of the most inaccurate analogies in regard to Linux Lite that I have seen to date. This thread is an opportunity to clear some things up.

So what happens during these 'Automatic Upgrades'?

- The Windows 10 comparison. The Windows 10 upgrade is from 7 or 8 to Windows 10. Thats analogous to us suggesting you upgrade from Series 2.x to Series 3.x In actuality a feature that people have asked me to implement, but for which I have resisted against. The Windows 7 to Windows 10 upgrade is a huge change in UI, we would never make such a radical change within a Series.

- Only new programs are added. Some of these will be system features. libhal for example. Not an actual application that you click on and use, but instead a deb package that allows folks to watch Hulu in their browser. I will only add applications that have wide appeal and that have been requested by people, eg. when I added Systemback.

- Ubuntu upgrades you automatically within their LTS series. I'm not saying we're doing it because they do it, it's just interesting to see the same people who are saying they don't want theses upgrades on LL, are using or have used Ubuntu.

- There are no changes to your home folder in Series 3.x. In Series 2.x we did make changes to your home folder. In hindsight, this is somewhat intrusive. eg. you may already be using a custom terminal theme that you spent time creating, only to have me change it to something else.

I hope this makes the automatic upgrade process in Series 3.x a lot clearer.

If you need any more clarity, please let me know.

So I reinstalled Linux Lite today.  I've used it and other distros in the past and its been good.  This time the update failed.
Hmmm.  I pop into the forums and its the usual gobbledygook.  Use this and try that.  I removed a repo and its all good but I wonder how a new user to Linux would fare.  Linux Lite is supposed to be newbie friendly.    Several months ago a question I had never was answered.    I expect to RTFM with Arch or Fedora or even Debian.  The point of Mint, Ubuntu and distros like Linux Lite is ease of use and failed updates when new users try the distro out, ain't that.

I have a Dell Latitude D620 64 bit OS, In 2.8 release we had google and Netflix working. Now in the 3.0 release there is no google and no Netflix. Is there a fix for this?

One thing that is needed primarily during the minutes right prior to an install.... is cloning software.  If you make it easy for people to copy their existing installation before the installer does some partition shrinking, then they are more likely to have done that backup - and be happier if something goes wrong.

Thanks !

Hi,

I'm enjoying the new release. Naturally there are a few wrinkles I'd like to see sorted.

I'm having problems with scrolling in LibreOffice. I'm currently using ThinIce, but every theme I've tried presents no scroll bar steppers. That wouldn't be too bad, but the scrollbar itself doesn't function correctly. When clicking on it, the shuttle, instead of progressing by one page, jumps to the point of the click. This makes where you click the scrollbar critical, and on long documents this is not workable. I've been reduced to using the PgDwn or Ctrl-Down keys.

I've tried to modify the ThinIce gtk-2.0 file, which I did successfully in LL 2.8, to no avail.

One other problem I'm having is that a lot of windows have no handles on their bottom edges for resizing. I have to position the window at the bottom of the screen and then use the handle at the top-right to expand upward.

Be well.

I used to have EMET when I was using Microsoft. Unfortunately another warning about the plug ins of Adobe Flash and Java.
Never ends.

Hi,

I just upgraded Linux lite from 2.8 to 3.0

Previously, I could print word document to Epson L355 in Linux Lite 2.8
Now, after upgrade to 3.0, the driver can not be installed via Synaptic Package Manager. When I marked the  "epson-inkjet-printer-201207w" then there is a message "could not mark all packages ....."
OR
another way, I have tried to add the printer via  "configure printer' menu, however, the installed driver is not for L355. 

If you have any ideas or hints how to install it, please let me know.

Thanks,

Syaiful

Okay, here's the deal.

After installing LL3.0 i added my own language to Language acc this: https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/install.html#setlang.

I moved my language to the top, pressed Apply system-wide buttons on both tabs and did a reboot. Instead of changing ALL entries to my native language, i'm now stuck with a system which is partially Dutch and partially English.

How can this be fixed? Or is this a bug? And beside that, why is LL not able to set language right in the first place, like during the setup when you have to select your native language. All other *buntu and *buntu-based distro's are capable of doing so, but LL is the only distro not capable doing this??

But the question remains:
How can this be fixed? Or is this a bug?

Thanks!
