Is there reason to add Disks when we already have GParted?

Yes, we may drop gparted in the future. Disks has a much more user friendly UI.

and suggestion, instead of having Lite Control Center on the panel, why not have it in the Whisker Menu at the bottom next to the search bar and next to Lock Screen, Switch Users, Log Out and having it replace the old Settings Manager.

LLCC will be considered a major part of LL in the future. It needs to be immediately visible. A Menu entry forces people to go looking for it. You also can't just add it where you said, without porting and recoding the Menu.

Never hurts to do a checksum. You're welcome :)

Ok thanks. We won't be including the 14.04.3 hardware stack in LL anymore because we produce our own kernels. This would make upgrades more complicated too.

How did you get the 3.19.0-25-generic kernel in there?

Loaded it from Synaptic.  it's listed as a 14.04 kernel and everything works well.  I keep a 3.13 kernel installed just for safety.

Also took 10 minutes, finally, to get the Beats Audio working and it's great...

@cirimax, right from the first version of LL, I seriously considered including conky as a Sidebar (like in Windows) but eventually discarded the idea as we need to appear clean and light, less clutter. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Hi Jerry,

... Super :)


Will do some testing and get back to you in case of any issues (hoping to be helpful).
What do you think about including a f.eg a default LL Conky script (+conky manager) ? Could open an internal contest for fun and choose best 3 ?
Thanks for including Systemback ... saved me quite a few times in the past ( I use it regularly to keep my Custom smoking gun LL iso ready on USB )
[/size]Thanx to allBest regards, Cirimax
Take care and have fun !

I have been running 2.6 beta for a couple of days now and am happy to report no issues so far, good job developers.  :)

Can I use Lite Upgrade from the control Centre to move to 2.6, or must I wait until it is no longer a beta before this will work?

You have to wait for the final on September 1st.
