found something strange. I created a new file, pasted the text into it and saved it. But then i saw that the icon had changed into an envelope. When i looked at the properties it says its a mailbox file. When i add .txt behind the name the icon changes to a normal txt file icon

If it helps (for future users) I believe the username is Linux... password is blank.. I too came across this - its also listed in upper left most corner of the login screen (pc name  :P )..

I tried that but I think I used a lowercase L since most distros don't capitalize the usernames. I could have figured it out if I dropped to tty but this seemed like it might be an issue for new users to Linux in general.

But in LL 3.0 it's missing & the right click option to minimise from the panel button is greyed out.

This may have been a change in Xfce 4.12 which LL3 is now using. I believe you can hide the window by clicking on the folder icon in the notification area. Not sure why they hid the minimize button in the transfer dialog though...seems odd.

Congrats to everyone involved! LL3 is another fine release.

One issue that I did run into was during installation. I left my laptop for a short time and when I came back the screen had gone black (screensaver?). After touching a key I was presented with the login screen. I didn't know the default live system credentials so I waited a bit until I was sure the installation was complete. Is there any way to disable to screensaver logout during installation?

 Tks Jerry. Re 3COM - as  I have a Live DVD only, what I propose to do, to save having to install on the Tos A10 with the original HDD, I am going to  temporarily change the HDD for a small one ( 20GB) and run that as a tester. .  Will report back.  No USB Bios boot priority option on the A10 :(

I must have been dreaming earlier when I thought I could minimise the File Operation Progress box on LL 3.0 by copying to or from another volume other than the system one.
Which means the info I posted earlier isn't correct, my apologies  :-[
I guess I had the window/s closed as it will minimise via the panel button when the windows are closed, but it won't otherwise no matter what the source or destination.
The minimise option/button has been removed.

In LL 2.8 it's got a minimise button.




But in LL 3.0 it's missing & the right click option to minimise from the panel button is greyed out.




On my setup (MSI L1350D Notebook) LL 3.0 boots faster from a USB install than my 2.8 does from the hard drive, I'm finding it runs faster than Knoppix 7.6 that's installed on an indentical USB stick, which I think is quite an achievement as nothing I've installed to USB has gone anywhere near Knoppix in speed until now....sweet  8)

Are there numbers in your password?  Is the number lock on?

Yes and my laptop doesn't have a dedicated number pad.

Trying to install on my laptop (with a brand new SSD).  I checked auto login but now it wants me to log in.  No problem.  I get a login screen that has "Other" at the top (with a drop down menu type arrow that does nothing), a place for my user name then a place for my password.  When I enter my pass word I get "Incorrect password, please try again".  I KNOW I'm entering the correct password.  I've even tried to re-install LL 3.0 (just to make sure I got the right pass word) and it still won't take it.

What could I be doing wrong?

@newtusmaximus, looks like those drivers were dropped in 16.04 You can get the driver from here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1694350 and install it after you've installed 3.0 Better still, I would try this first - look in /lib/firmware in 2.8 and copy the following highlighted files (all starting with 'isl') to a USB:



Then copy them into your installed 3.0 in /lib/firmware, and reboot (make sure the files are owned by root).
That should work :)

Jerry,  the 3 Com card worked on LL2.0 32 standard Kernel.    Upgrades through the LL2 version again without problems.  At 2.8 started to play with Kernels .Reason for then  updating to  Kernel to 4.0  and then later to 4.5.0 was really to see where the " Break" point was - future proofing this 2003 machine.

Hence surprised that LL3.0 appears to have a problem??  Certainly on Live DVD anyway.  Use this old A10 as my email back up (work) and therefore reluctant to do clean install unless confident that wifi card will work straight off.

Next machine  to upgrade (32 bit)  will be the work desktop which is LAN connected but will only do that when I have mastered the Google Earth work around.  GE integral part of work tasks.

@newtusmaximus, did the 3com card work on 2.8 before you installed the 4.5 kernel, or did installing the 4.5 kernel make the 3com card work?
