While I was waiting for LL 3.0 to be released I tried out the pre-release copy of the distro Xubuntu 16.04 (Quite liked it). One thing I really liked was the 'Gnome Software Center'. I noticed it listed in Synaptic, so I installed it for LL 3.0. I certainly know how to use it, but is it OK to use on Linux Lite? As we all know Linux Lite is a heavily modified system. There's nothing wrong with 'Synaptic', but there are a few features about Gnome SC I like. Gnome SC was a great piece of software for Xubuntu, but is it for LL? Thanks to any & all. By the way: If it's OK for LL, check it out.

I have been using grub customizer (version 5.0.6-0ubuntu), an excellent tool for editing the grubscreen on my Dell laptop, where I have several operating systems installed. Grub customiser installed & worked smoothly with LL2.8, but I appear to have a glitch with it, when trying to install it on LL3.0.

When I attempt to install it in LL3.0, using gdebi package manager, I get the following feedback from gdebi and as a result gdebi is unable to proceed any further:

Confusingly, when I check synaptic package manager to see what version of libatkmm is installed, it appears that the libatkmm-1.6-1v5 package is there, and the version installed is 2.24.2-1, which is of course >2.22.1, listed above.

Any help in solving this is much appreciated, as always

Hi All 

After reading nice rewievs of Linux Lite 3.0 I have been wishing to try it and just installed, still personalizing it but already got a small problem: installed GuvcWiev by "Lite Software" I don't get video.
Better, it is recording but I hear only the voice, the image is like a pic not video.
Please, do anyone knowing how to fix that issue?

Thanks for your kind attention

One of my laptops has LL2.8 installed on its HDD,  along with more than 20 other distros.
I have just installed LL3.0 next to 2.8, the newer version now being in charge of the grubscreen.
However, though I can boot into LL3.0, when I choose to boot from LL2.8 (selecting it from the grublist) it refuses to boot.

Therefore, it seems that when I install two different versions of LL (on the same HDD), only the last installed version is bootable.  Is there something I can do so that either version is bootable (i.e. they are mutually compatible) or am I just stuck with being able to boot only the last installed LL version?

Many thanks for any comments or advice on this...

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?
