When I first installed LL 3.0 on my HP computer the sound didn't work. Going into 'Volume control' the sound had been muted. Clicked that off. Sound worked. But when I installed LL on my Acer, no problems. Might be worth noting the 'IF' you have a sound problem when installing LL check that. Remember what Arthur Dent said 'Don't Panic!'.

Worked fine last night installed this today
http://www.noobslab.com/2016/01/shadow-icons-looks-great-with-all.html
Did my updates and upgrades through the terminal
and clamTk scan

Anyone? I'm using 3.0 I see the audio bar in the mixer showing sound working as I play music in VLC and youtube videos and yes I checked my earphones on a mp3 player.


OMG sorry everyone found my KB mute was enabled. I feel so senior!

If I press my mute button on the keyboard it shows in the indicator it is muted with an X if I use my mouse to unmute instead of pressing the keyboard unmute the indicator shows it is not muted and there is no sound. I have to press the KB button to unmute.

Is this a software bug?

Could this be incorporated into the iso so that Google Earth works.  Not tested yet.  Will try work around later

Or will this work around corrupt LL3.0?? Advice appreciated.

We did say in the announcement that no Google products would be included in Series 3.x

More on wifi, Gerry. Sorry this is rather close to release.

Anyone else having WiFi issues at first boot?


I have done some more tests. Note that I am using the ISO on a USB stick and have checked the md5sum.

Firstly, though my netbook (Atheros AR9285 Wireless) now connects automatically to a pre-set network the network manager does not show this - though "Connection Information" does.

Secondly, I have tried the installation media on a Dell Inspiron 1525 using an RTL8088CUS based dongle (rtl8192cu driver) as I know the internal wireless needs a proprietary Broadcom driver to work. Trying this with two different SSIDs (on different networks) I find that a key put in the "pop-up" is instantly forgotten and no connection is established. If the key is put in using "edit" then attempting to connect works.

If you would like me to test an update I will do my best though a family medical problem may stop me.

Thanks for your good work.

Hello

A while back I did vote to have an antivirus included in Lite Software as an option. Noticed its absent from the beta. Guessingmany may have to be tested and then selected first (or maybe not as important at this time :)). Just thought I'd mention it in case it was overlooked.

However, did try to install clamAV onto beta as I did in LL2.6. Running freshclam from terminal gives error concerning var/log/clamav/freshclam.log. There seems to be a problem with the internal logger. May be a permissions thing. Dunno. Haven't had time to try to solve or replicate on another machine, but just letting you know.

Auto-login is somewhat broken in the Beta. I've been working on it and it should be fine in the Final :)

On installation a popup screen tells you that you can use one of Linux Lite's custom kernels. Manjaro Linux has a GUI for that, but I can't seem to find anything like that in LL 3.0. I used a downgrade trick in LL 2.8, but I don't think that'll work in the 3.x series. For older computers a writeup in the 'Tutorials' section might be a good idea,  at some point we know it'll come up. Otherwise, all's good.

This one may of been mentioned: You do a fresh install of Linux Lite 3.0, then a reboot, then install updates. Next time you reboot auto login is changed to disabled, & you have to enter your password. Using 'Enable Auto Login' in Menu < All, does fix the problem. I remember this was a problem in the Linux Lite 1.x series. Back then the only way to fix it was to open terminal and run 'gksu lxdm-config' -Don't do that by the way, it doesn't work in newer versions, use the 'enable auto login'.

Folks, I will be building the Final ISO in 2 days from now. If you have found any bugs or quirks, can I ask that you submit them before I build the ISO. Thank you :)

As I have previously stated, and I quote myself "...will let you know if anything changes". Suffice to say, if there is any news, I will be sure to let the community know. If there are any more questions about this, folks should not be surprised if they go unanswered, having already repeated myself several times now. Cheers :)

LEND27 et al

I know that we're done talking about the control center, however I still see it in the terminal as an option to install it in 2.8. Just FYI guys.


Does anyone know for sure whether the Lite Control Center will be back for the 6/1 final release of Citrine?
Such a simple question, yet it remains unanswered.  Is there no one who knows the answer to that question?


Anyone?

Not at this stage, will let you know if anything changes. No need to ask the same question multiple times, I do read all the posts and have been asleep since my last post. Cheers.

I hate to beat a dead horse, and maybe I missed something here, but if I remember correctly, one of the most touted and loved features in the 2.6 and 2.8 releases was the Linux Lite Control Center. Now it seems that it may not be included in the new flagship release 3.0 Citrine.
I for one have come to depend on it, especially when acclimating new users to LL.
Just wondering what happened that necessitated the change. And is there still a chance we may hold on to our beloved Linux Lite Control Center? It is a major help to new users, and isn't that what Linux Lite is all about?

Sorry if I missed any relevant info here. Just wondering where we stand on this issue.

Thanks!
