Title: Linux Lite 6.0 RC1 Released
Post by: Jerry on April 24, 2022, 10:29:34 PM
Release Announcement

Linux Lite 6.0 RC1 is now available for testing.

The theme of this Series is inclusion and freshness. The newest Browser, the newest Office suite, the newest custom software. It always been my goal to provide a lean, fully functioning operating system. In Series 6x this will be our ongoing focus. New to this release are Assistive Technologies. In the form of a screen reader, a desktop magnifier and a virtual keyboard. All tools that ensures our hearing and sight impaired community is no longer forgotten. A new Theme, a new System Monitor and Manager round out the main new features.

See below for details.

Linux Lite 6.0 Final Codename Fluorite will be released on 1st June, 2022.

Changes:

New Window theme: Materia

Materia is the new window theme. Keeping that familiar appearance, Materia is regularly maintained and it supports GTK 2, GTK 3, GTK 4, GNOME Shell, Budgie, Cinnamon, MATE, Unity, Xfce, LightDM, GDM, Chrome theme, etc. Materia comes in both Light and Dark themes.

Assistive Technologies - Onscreen Keyboard + Screen Reader + Screen Magnifier

It's a well known fact that we target Windows users. Out of the box, Windows offers a fairly complete system. That includes tools for the hearing and sight impaired. In this release you can zoom in on the desktop, have a screen reader talk to you and complete tasks with an onscreen keyboard. All these functions will also be highly configurable.

Onscreen Keyboard: Onboard

The onscreen keyboard application is Onboard. On-screen virtual keyboard is an alternative input method that can replace a real hardware keyboard. Virtual keyboard may be a necessity in various cases. For example, your hardware keyboard is just broken; you do not have enough keyboards for extra machines; your hardware does not have an available port left to connect a keyboard; you experience difficulty in typing on a real keyboard; or you are building a touchscreen-based web kiosk.

Screen Reader: Orca

Orca is a free and open-source, flexible, extensible screen reader from the Gnome project for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. Using various combinations of speech synthesis and braille, Orca helps provide access to applications.

If you select Orca Settings, it will be enabled, you have been warned. Just Open System Monitor and kill the Task if it annoys you, use Insert key + S, or simply Logout/in. If you want it to autostart when you start your computer, go to Session and Startup, Application Autostart tab and tick the Orca box.

Insert+S toggle speech on and off.

More information on usage - http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/en/man1/orca.1.html (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/en/man1/orca.1.html)

Screen Magnifier: Left Alt + Mouse Scroll-wheel

Fairly self explanatory. Zoom in on any part of the desktop with the Left Alt + Mouse Scroll-wheel key combo.

New Default Web Browser: Google Chrome

Now that Firefox comes as a Snap package from Ubuntu, and Windows users need to be able to deal with as few package managers as possible, Chrome was the obvious replacement choice. Huge market share, Windows familiarity, just about everything you throw at it just works, all with the backing of a little known company called Google. We also include a built in Virus Scanner to Chrome supplied by Virus Total (disabled by default). Now Chrome will ask you if you'd like a file scanned before you open it. To enable this feature, just turn it On under Chrome Extensions.

New Grub menu:

Memtest no longer appears in the Grub menu. With so many PE and bootable tech tools out there now, it seems like an unnecessary added extra that I doubt even 5% of people ever used. New look Live Grub below now has Restart, Shutdown as well as the usual options.

(https://i.imgur.com/yNEfOiI.png)

LibreOffice

A new approach. With LibreOffice in this Series, we will now provide the latest version with every release. Eg. When we release 6.2, we will make sure the latest stable LibreOffice is provided. No longer will we lag behind for the duration of a Series. In between each release, that version will stay static. It will only be updated with each inner Series upgrade. It will not be the 'early adopter' version (as shown below) but the latest stable as shown in red.

Lite Patch:

We used to get Lite Software to do all the heavy lifting here, but now with it's own package, emergency fixes can be applied super quick.

System Monitoring Center: replaces Task Manager and Process Viewer

Gone is the Task Manager and Process Viewer, replaced by a tool that does both jobs and more. Htop is still installed, just no longer on the Menu.
We've forked the new System Monitoring Center to provide more specific information regarding Linux Lite (see the System tab).
With System Monitoring Center, you get information about your CPU, RAM, Disk, Network and GPU. You also get Performance, Processes, Startup, Services and System tools and information in one easy to use, highly configurable application. This is one of the nicest, most sensible applications I have seen on the free software world for a long time, and we are lucky to have it.

Plus many other tweaks and changes.

Window Theme: Materia
Icon Theme: Papirus
Font: Roboto Regular

How do I know if my Windows PC has UEFI?

In Windows Search, type msinfo or msinfo32 and launch the desktop app named System Information. Look for the BIOS Mode item, and if the value for it is UEFI, then you have the UEFI firmware. If it says BIOS Mode Legacy, then that’s the firmware you’re running.

Secure Boot is supported, but unless you know exactly how to handle it, it is a P.I.T.A. at best so I am going to say...you must disable Secure Boot to enable stress free computing.

Some helpful snippets from the latest Help Manual:

UEFI Support link - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/uefi-secure-boot/ (https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/uefi-secure-boot/)

Details:

Kernel: 5.15.0-25 ( custom kernels also available via our Repository for versions 3.13 - 5.17 )
Chrome: 100.0
Thunderbird: 91.7.0
LibreOffice: 7.2.6.2
VLC: 3.0.16
Gimp: 2.10.30
Base: 22.04

Known Issues:

No prompt to eject Media at the end of the Legacy install, prompt is available at the end of the UEFI install.
Release Notes - not working on first installer slide.
Desktop icons - English support only.
Dropbox: if you get an error, run the set up twice.
There is NO Grub Edit in Lite Tweaks in this Series for Linux Lite due to an unsolvable issue. Ubuntu will show in the Grub menu if you are dual or more booting. Try Grub Customizer if it annoys you.
Grub menu shows Linux Lite as 'Ubuntu'. See below for more on this.

- Open /etc/default/grub as Administrator.
- Comment out: GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` and leave GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Linux Lite' uncommented.
- Should look like:
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Linux Lite'
#GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
- sudo update-grub

Grub - press the ESC key whilst booting in UEFI mode after your BIOS has posted. Use the SHIFT key if running Linux Lite in Legacy mode.

Help Manual is 90% complete.

OEM Install option - is broken and crashes near the end of the install. If a fix can't be found, it will be excluded from each release until a solution if found.

You tell me.


There is no upgrade to or from RC releases. RC releases are for testing only and it is not recommended to run them as your main or secondary operating system.

Yes, it's our biggest ISO to date, software evolves and gains more features, that's what happens. Linux Lite still boots to 520mb of used memory on your average system so we are still Lite, and still half the size of a Windows 11 ISO with arguably more useful off the Menu features.

Checking the MD5SUM and SHA256 of the Linux Lite ISO:

MD5SUM
Open a Terminal on Linux Lite and do:

Code: [Select]
md5sum linux-lite-6.0-rc1-64bit.iso
SHA256
Open a Terminal on Linux Lite and do:

Code: [Select]

Live USB/DVD/VirtualBox/Vmware:

Login is automatic, no credentials are required. The image can be written to a 4gb or larger USB stick, or a writable DVD. Alternatively, you can use the dd command: sudo dd if=linux-lite-6.0-rc1-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M where 'x' is the letter of your usb stick. In linux to find out the letter of your usb stick, open a terminal and type: df -h It is usually listed as 'media' or similar. Please see the built in Help Manual if you require a more detailed explanation of this procedure.

A good, simple point and click USB ISO burner is https://www.balena.io/etcher/ (https://www.balena.io/etcher/) or https://rufus.ie/ (https://rufus.ie/)
In our testing, Etcher and Rufus (for Windows only) have proven to be the most reliable. Etcher is available for Mac, Windows & Linux.

If the screen locks during Live mode, type linux into the user box and click on the Login button (no password required)

Minimum Recommended Specs:
1Ghz processor
768mb ram
8gb HDD/SD
VGA screen capable of 1024x768 resolution
DVD drive or USB port for the ISO image

Preferred Specs:
1.5GHz processor+
1024mb ram+
20gb HDD/SSD+
VGA, DVI or HDMI screen capable of 1366x768 resolution+
DVD drive or USB port for the ISO image

Login to the live desktop is automatic.

The first thing you MUST do after a fresh install of Linux Lite is run Menu, Favorites, Install Updates.

As this is a RC release, there are bound to be bugs etc. Please help make the final stable for other people by participating in this RC. Please report any bugs and feedback in this thread.


Thank you

Awesome.  I think I'll give it a go sometime in the next few days.  I'm an old fart and have doctor appointments to attend this week for both me and my wife.

Please let me know if there is something in particular I should watch out for.  Or if there is a feature/app I should test for issues and post logs.

Thanks.

Everything is progressing smoothly. I'm at about 85-90% through on the install. No hiccups. It does seem to be a bit slower than the 5.8 install.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220426/5df2993756e4547c2afc5a4db72e427e.jpg)

Hi , first of all thanks you for your amazing work it's my first linux from windows and i love it !  :57:

I noticed some problem, the iso on my usb won't boot because there is no bootia32.efi so i added it my self . (I have a strange laptot with a 64bit cpu but a 32bit UEFI  :037: the asus stransformer book T200TA)
The installation was okay no problem there , but once i'm asked to reboot and then remove the usb stick my linux it will not boot and go back to uefi screen  :banghead

Is there anything that i can do to make it boot ?

At a guess, the bootia32.efi you put on your USB drive didn't get copied to the EFI System Partition (aka ESP) on your boot drive.  You should be able to mount that partition in the live system (booted from USB) and copy that file from the USB ESP to the boot drive ESP, unmount the boot drive ESP, shut down the live system and remove the USB then boot the machine.

Jerry,

will Firefox still be an installable package from Lite Software?

I understand your decision about selecting Chrome but I prefer not to use it.  Not that I'm any fan of Snaps and other solutions of that ilk either...

Thanks,
Andy.

Yes that's correct. FF will be in Lite Software in the final. There will be a warning beside it saying 'Snap Package'.

@Jerry ,

This was quick.  I didn't expect a Linux Lite release candidate so soon after the release of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.  I'm looking forward to getting off LL 4.8 for this Thinkpad.  I'm also hoping whatever was in Ubuntu 18.04 or Xfce during that time that wouldn't work with my Dell docking station will work now.  I had to go a different route from Linux Lite for Dell Latitude.  Ready to bring it back.

I have similar issues. I have to choose CSM boot instead of UEFI. I wish it worked in UEFI mode. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220426/e197ffcf6a4f9b9efb2a3dfc2ad0128a.jpg)

Not a big deal because the 6.0 install seems to be working fine, but I get this graphics "hiccup" just before the desktop loads. I didn't have this issue with 5.8.

I assume this is due to a graphics driver issue from x.org. If anyone here has a suggestion on a fix I appreciate your input.

See my hardware stats in my bio.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220426/ae0c490d4d18f6e101638dbb7f5fbe2c.jpg)

@Jerry I'll be installing in Virtual Box and see if I can dig up some hardware

@Giyom
Have you tried LL5.8 by chance and will it boot correctly with the 32bit UEFI?
I have a tablet that I have only messed with in the slight and sometimes the 32bit grub (if I recall) might need installed...


Just a friendly reminder... This is a TEST - Release Candidate

Hi All,  Thank you for this distro I like it very much. My hardware is an Ideapad Gaming 3 laptop https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=ab553d3a2f (https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=ab553d3a2f) and I am trying to get the keyboard back light to work.

In the process I have a problem when rebooting.  The pulseaudio process hangs when shutting down.  If I wait a long enough it gets blacklisted but I still have to hold down the power button to force a power down.

Is there any thing I can do to fix this ?

Best regards oz.

As this version of LL(6.0) is a Release Candidate (RC) this may not be corrected until the Final release. Please know as an RC there is not an upgrade path to the Final version.

Yes please report all findings as mentioned, in this thread so that the DEVs have 1 place to to review..

As this is a RC release, there are bound to be bugs etc. Please help make the final stable for other people by participating in this RC. Please report any bugs and feedback in this thread.



I remind those that typically ask "how to fix" that this is an RC aka test version, the fix likely will be made to the Final, which will be a new full install of LL6.0 once released.
Just should someone be waiting for a support response.


It is very appreciated to those testing and supporting LL  :54:

In my case I am willing to look into why pulseaudio is hanging and if I can fix it in my copy of RC1 then my continued testing may go smoother and be more realistic than hard powering off my LT.

For instance if someone here is more knowledgeable they could suggest comparing the systemd settings of pulseaudio with another service of similar rank, or installing a different version of pulseaudio.

Again apologies if this is unnecessary noise.

If you're referring to Firefox, you can download the tarball from Mozilla's website, extract, move the resulting folder to /opt, and integrate/made it available in LL's menu.

Hi All.  I have noticed that a reboot does not retain all apps within my session.  In my case the Opera and Chrome browsers are closed.

Also geany editor.

Works OK for Thunar and xfce Terminal windows.

Hi All.  If an external mouse is connected and the  LT is closed with suspend power option selected, when the lid is opened the LT touch pad fails to come back and requires a log out and log in.

Also there seems to be a bit of a delay on reestablishing wifi when configured to auto connect.

Hi Jerry,

Using LL since years now. I always waiting for the final releases but I cannot wait to install and test R6 RC1.

I don't know if this is because I installed this one on VBox (I don't think so), but Panel1 just gets completely deleted when I "Remove" Chrome icon from Panel1 by right-click/Remove.

...hopefully this will be fixed :D ...but with this "little" problem, R6 RC1 is running like a charm.

Multiple fixes:

Right-click on panel : Panel -->Panel Preferences... -->tab Items --> select launcher --> click Remove

You also have Lite Tweaks, Taskbar Restore (ignore any errors).

Logging out also restores the Taskbar. Right click on the Desktop, Applications, Log Out, Log Out.

Personally I don't use Windows 11 unless it's public or shared computer because of Windows 11 has buggy

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for this.

Maybe this is because of my UI habits: I always do cleanup "unused" icons and other stuffs first, I really like how I can personalize the UI in Linux Lite....therefore only my Home folder and File system icon stays next to the main Panel1, and also removing the icons from Panel1...at last the Chrome and all of a sudden BOOM...Panel1 also goes therefore I was not able to reach any application like Tweaks or Whisker menu to revert somehow....BUT as a best practice, I can still run "lite-tweaks" from terminal and I can revert the whole stuff as you mentioned.

Cheers
rlatyuka
