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?
sudo apt-get remove mumble

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.

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).
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.

Changing the locale to "English UK" causes the main menu items names for "Install Updates" & "Help Manual" to change.?Many ThanksDaveWe can't test all locales, try a test run install in a virtualbox first to find out.

...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.)
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...
