Thanks for your feedback bfb. In Firefox you can change the Arc Theme. Tools, Addons, Appearance.

Installed very easily and working well on my 3rd laptop (i3 4mb memory)
Starts up faster than the interminable wait on 2.8 and seems snappier

I have added Slimjet to replace Chrome and did the work-around needed to install Google Earth on 16.04 based linux

http://blog.pztop.com/2016/04/28/Install-Google-Earth-on-Ubuntu-16-04/

I am likely to be using slimjet or chromium more than before since the Arc Theme has parasited Firefox and made the tabs black and so unreadable

Apart from being quicker to load 3.0 seems to have fewer features than 2.8 so I will stick with that on my main machine

Thanks for all your work. Lite remains the best and most user friendly Linux distro

Re. Thunar bug, try this please TMG1961:

Open Thunar
Go to Edit, Preferences
On Display tab, check then uncheck 'Show file size in binary format' at least one time.

Now do what you did before - cut/paste a file from Desktop to Downloads, Documents or Public to see if you get the folder crash again.

https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11450

No more folder crashing :)

Great, please let me know if it comes back. In the meantime, I'll apply this fix for LL 3.2

Not possible at the moment sorry TMG1961. Those My Computer entries require foreign translations in the code.

You can hand edit the code yourself if you are keen. If you're on 64bit, show hidden files in your home folder, go to .local/share/applications and edit:

alacarte-made-3.desktop
alacarte-made-4.desktop
alacarte-made-5.desktop
alacarte-made-6.desktop
alacarte-made-7.desktop
alacarte-made-8.desktop
alacarte-made-9.desktop
alacarte-made-10.desktop
alacarte-made-11.desktop

Under the line that says "Comment=Browse your Home folder" (or whatever it says)
make another line under it and put in "Comment[nl]=Blader door uw thuismap" (if thats right?)

Do these edits for both the 'Name' and 'Comment' lines.

example:

Code: [Select]
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=Browse your Home folder
Comment[nl]=Blader door uw thuismap
Terminal=false
Name=Home
Name=[nl]Huis
Exec=exo-open --launch FileManager %u
Type=Application
Icon=user-home

Logout/in or reboot to see the changes.

Do that for each file. If you'd like to provide the Dutch translations for each file, I'd be happy to add them to the next version of Linux Lite :)

Thanks for your answer Jerry. I will have a look at it later today and will send you the translation for each file.


Edit: I just also noticed that when i cut/paste a file from Desktop to Downloads, Documents or Public then after pasting the folder closes. It doesnt happen between any other folders.

Lite Control Center is not in Series 3 at this stage. If anyone else asks about it, please refer them to this post. If anything changes, I will inform the community.

Kernels - All previous, current and future Linux Lite Kernels will be available throughout Series 2 & 3, 4 and so on...

First of all I have to say a big thank you for all the work that has gone in to LL over the years. I've found it to be stable and utterly reliable.

Trying out various 16.04 distros over the past few months has shown up a major block for using linux into the future on my HP laptop. All kernels after 3.19 send my cpu fan into 100% speed all the time no matter what the linux version. So seeing the line about previous kernels being available I just wanted to double check that it does mean just that - so I should be able to install a 3.13 kernel on LL 3.0? If so then that makes me a very happy bunny :)


We started building Kernel's from version 3.15 and up.

I thought LL2.0 was 3.13 - doesn't matter - can't boot LL 3.0 anyway, just hangs then drops to login prompt on tty1

One question though - Loving the new release by the way! Volti I didn't really care for though. I think the stock volume control is perfect.

Where is the Lite Control Center? Granted I never really used it much, but it did tell some computer spec info that I did find useful, and easily telling whether the distro was 32-bit or 64-bit, besides going into the terminal with "uname -a" command, something I needed to identify when the Google Chrome 32-bit PPA removal came about when helping out one of my personal friends. It apparently isn't included anymore... That was a great tool, please bring it back. I'm probably the 3rd or 4th person who's mentioned this, so this tool is definitely in "high demand" for your user base...

There is one theme inconsistency I have noticed. Very far from a major issue:

On the "Indicator Plug-in" icons on the XFCE panel, the icons are really rather dark, and haven't found a way to make the icons have white colors for easy glancing. Besides nit-picking about this little annoyance, the Arc theme looks beautiful, and the new Wallpapers are lovely. Funny how you included the new Lamborghini Huracan sports car in one of them!  Definitely a night and day difference compared to the previous series, and reminds me of Manjaro XFCE a little with a blue theme instead of green. Theme integration in this release is very good as or almost as good as OpenSUSE KDE custom theming.

I don't want to be overly critical or nit-picky with my opinions because I do realize that LL is a project done in spare time and commitment. We are all human beings, we all make mistakes, miss, forget and overlook things. Little annoyances like the one mentioned above are easily fixed with a Google (or DuckDuckGo if you prefer) search and tutorial rundown.

Overall Great Release! Love what Jerry and the LL team put out for the community. What an amazing creation this has come to be in 4 years later!
