I have been looking at the LL 2.0 Beta and cannot seem to find the Lite Software manager. Is it still available to use/install?

No, we dropped it. It was really just the lubuntu software center rebranded. You can install it if you like through Synaptic (lubuntu software center ).

Hello!

To change languages, it's under Menu > Settings > Language Support.

To remove Mumble, it can be done in Install/Remove Software (Synaptic Package Manager) or, in a terminal window [CTRL-ALT-T], type the following...

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get remove mumble
Sometimes, a logout/logon or reboot may be required for menu entries to disappear. If they're still around after THAT, the .desktop files that comprise the menus are located in two places:

/usr/share/applications
/home/<USERNAME>/.local/share/applications

To see files or folders beginning with '.', 'Show Hidden Files' must be checked (enabled) in the file manager. To delete anything outside your home directory, you have to logged in as root...

On the login screen there is no way to select the desktop environment to use if you have more than Xfce installed.  I tend to jump between LXDE and Xfce so I installed the LXDE meta-package - I just can't select it at login...

This is a distro for newbies to Linux, we don't anticipate them installing and configuring other DE's nor do we offer support for that. That would put us in a position of supporting and troubleshooting beyond what we have the man power for at the moment, we're better to spend what little free time we do have outside of RL on support for the software we provide ootb.  Cheers.

Fair enough as you will probably attract the users you seek and lose others.  Good luck to you...

Good job on the release of the beta for LinuxLite 2.0 - It looks nice so far.

I'm quite new to LinuxLite (have a low spec laptop running Puppy elsewhere) but I have a couple of questions on the install.
Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but I can't see a specific beta forum?

1. When I select "Erase whole disk" and "Use LVM" during install, I get a crash saying I need to check virtual console 4 and then syslog for the reason that the disk partitioner was unable to create the disk layout. I can't see any details there. Fdisk shows me that /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda5 have been created. This is on vbox with an 8GB disk. Works fine if I do not select LVM (I was going to use LVM so I could resize the virtual disk and change partition sizes later).

Check in /var/log for the error. It could be that it just won't work in a vb but may on hardware.

2. I see reference to a 2GB USB disk requirement, but the installer asks for 5.3GB minimum. Is the requirement 2GB or 5.3GB? I suspect it might be 2GB for booting the install from and 5.3GB for a full install, or do you offer the ability to write back to the USB stick al-a Puppy? I'd like to know so I can purchase some USB drives for some diskless laptops that I want to use LinuxLite 2.0 on. Puppy is a little too quirky, and I like how LinuxLite looks more standard.

Congratulations again on what looks like a great release.

The 2GB USB is for the image, 5.3GB is for the installation. Cheers.

On the programs that run in terminal like install additional and remove additional - why not just keep all actions in the terminal?  Kind of odd when you type in a number and then it jumps to a GUI interface for the actions and then back to terminal.  It works well, the interface is just odd...

Mumble must be hard wired into the menu as you just can't remove it.  I uninstalled it and it's still there.  Doesn't show in alacarte though...

In relation to the "English UK" language, I had this problem when I installed version 1.0.8 - see https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index.php?topic=127.0

I tried fresh installs 4 or 5 times and each time I selected "English UK" the menu layout changed and clicking on a couple of menu links caused problems.

I stuck with plain "English" and everything was fine - there is obviously still something wrong, but at that time nobody could recreate my problem or find a solution.

Hi Wirezfree.  I'm in UK too so would you like me to change mine to see what happens.  You'll have to tell me what to change as I'm still playing around with it. ie where is" locale change". 

Am using the 32 bit version.

2. Is there a fix in 2.0 for the "Locale Change" issue...
    Changing the locale to "English UK" causes the main menu items names for "Install Updates" & "Help Manual" to change.?

Many Thanks
Dave

We can't test all locales, try a test run install in a virtualbox first to find out.

Hi Valtam,

Will try this weekend if I get a chance.

...the only issue I've noticed so far it that it doesn't want to come back on after I close the laptop lid and reopen it. All I get is a cursor and a black screen. (IOW, the screen isn't unlocking, or even prompting me for a password to unlock it.)

Thanks I'll look into that.

Of course, I imagine 'Restore System Configuration' still amounts to 'the kiss of death'. If not, there's GOT to be some kind of way to change the default menu structure to match yours - even if it involves altering the Alacarte source code...

Yes, any attempt to restore will screw up the Menu. I've removed all the other locales in the .desktop files for "Install Updates" & "Help Manual" so it should be fine from now on, but we need someone to confirm this (on the 32bit version, I have just fixed the 64bit version).
