Linux Lite 3.0 Beta Released

[Jerry]

Progress bar was eliminated, it was not accurate at all. Default style will stay, this is something that can now be improved over time. Thank you

Perhaps when starting instead of the default splash being 'None' it could be set to 'Simple'?
People can see something is happening instead of just a blank screen, which is partly the reason I mentioned not seeing a progressbar above also, shows things are happening.
Apologies if that's covered already in this thread.

Nice work Jerry & Team 

I couldn't get the 32-bit version working in VirtualBox at all on 2.8, created a bootable USB with persistance using Unetbootin, runs & updates ok.
One thing I noticed I don't think has been mentioned yet is when in the properties of a file > Open With > Other Application... some of the entries in there are doubled up.
There's also some double ups when there are already entries in the Open With list, .jpg's for example, it shows ImageMagick (display q16) twice.

Thanks for letting us know

No probs Jerry.
Desktop icons stay where they're put after a restart, oooh I do like that 
The default Style isn't the easiest to see, not much distinction between title bar & menu bar etc., Kokodi is much easier on ageing eyes.
When starting up & shutting down when the feather appears there's no progressbar anymore.
If there it must be the same colour as the background & can't be seen.

EDIT: With the volume control in the panel, left clicking it brings up the slider, pushing it all the way to the top it says 100, mouse pointering it shows Output 98%, all the way down it shows 0 & the mouse pointer shows Output 5%, and the Notification that appears top right of the screen also reflects this, it never quite goes all the way to the left for 0 or all the way to the right for 100 but it's movement does follow the slider ok when the slider is moved.
All I have shown there is the sound and network icons & their background stays as the same as the system theme regardless of panel settings being changed to another colour, rest of the panel changes but not that notification area icon backgrounds.

I searched and didn't see this mentioned: Would it be ok to install 3.0 beta and then update it to the full version later? Or is that not advisable or possible.

Thanks.

There are no Beta to Final upgrades in LL.

Thanks Jerry.

I'm working with a 64 bit version of the LL3.0 Beta in VirtualBox.

I noticed that when I went down to change the audio volume level in the panel, the thick blue indicator that comes up in a pop up in the upper right does not update to reflect the change. I checked that in LL2.8 and it does update.

I used the 64-bit iso in a Virtual Box and everything looked good, but when installing from the iso in the VB I got an insufficient room error and the install halted. I allocated 10 GB to the VB LL machine - is that not enough?

I am running in virtual box now with 10GB. So I don't think that is the problem.

Hi,

Linux Lite 3.0 Beta screenshots are published here.

Burning the ISO - I'm not overly worried it doesn't work on Yumi the way it has in the past. We still offer the same packages so to me that suggests the software (one or more of the Ubuntu packages) somewhere has changed. Avoid multi-boot flash drives. Please use software that people have had success with to date:

- Unetbootin: https://unetbootin.github.io/
- Win32 Disk Imager: https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

On Linux, I use Image Writer with no issues - http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/upstream/u/usb-imagewriter/usb-imagewriter_0.1.3-1linuxmint2_all.deb

Disks, which is already included in Linux Lite, is also a good way to burn an ISO.  You simply highlight your inserted USB drive on the left and select the "Restore Disk Image..." option from the settings menu in the upper right.
