Hello, just installed Lite and trying to customize. There is a panel right next to Menu with Firefox etc, as default. I removed Firefox, installed Chromium, right-clicked Chromium and "Add to panel". I then got the Chromium icon in the bottom right corner. How can I move it to the left panel where the other icons are? (Home folder, Terminal, Lite Control Center) Right click > Panel > Add new items doesn't seem to offer the choice to add Chromium, it only wants plugins.

So, how can I put a Chromium icon in my left panel? Thanks.

Might want to check this out. I use Firefox or Google Chrome. Google Chrome unfortunately is based on Chromium as is Opera.

This is a very simple kernel installer I've started working on. At this stage, I haven't decided if this will develop into a LL package, but people have asked for it.

The code so far:

Code:
#! /bin/bash #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Name: Lite Kernel Select # Description: Select a Linux Kernel to install on Linux Lite. # Authors:  Jerry Bezencon # Website: https://www.linuxliteos.com #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Ensure multi-language support export LANG=C # Kill off any package managers that may be running if [ "$(pidof synaptic)" ] then   sudo killall -9 synaptic fi if [ !

Open a terminal:

Code:
touch kernelinstaller

copy the above code into kernelinstaller (open kernelinstaller with a Text Editor). Now save the file.

Code:
chmod +x kernelinstaller gksudo ./kernelinstaller

There is no end dialogue, when the Zenity message has closed, you can reboot.

This is very Beta and as such, should only be installed in a VirtualBox. When you reboot, hold down Shift key to bring up Grub, go to Advanced, and you should see the Kernel in the list, select it and press enter.

To dos:

- Initial window "Install Kernel" and "Remove Kernel" select list
- Confirm kernel is installed dialogue
- Better output in zenity, percentage of install process (similar to updates-gui)
- Move just installed kernel to the top of the list in Grub before rebooting

You can use grub-customizer for now to move the kernel you chose to install, to the top of the Grub list.
Use Lite Tweaks to remove any kernels for now.

Any contributing code from dev's is welcome Smile

On a laptop installation, a battery indicator is essential. But I found that it wasn't installed. Inexperienced users might not realize this. Right-click the Panel, then Panel > Add New Items, choose "Power Manager Plugin", Add.

Hi,

On Linux Lite 3.0 beta, I can't get connected to the internet with my wifi adapter.

My adapter is a Realtek RTL8191SU.

Is there a solution for this adapter?

For anyone who has a newer computer as I do and has UEFI or EFI as the case may be, you might find this link useful. It will not be long where bios will be replaced and EFI will be the standard.
