The Lite Software installer installs an older version of Audacious.

Are there any plans to update to the latest version?

Regards.

Release Announcement

Linux Lite 6.2 Final is now available for download and installation.

This release is mostly comprised of UI adjustments, up to date software and bug fixes. This release improves upon 6.0 with numerous UI enhancements, updates to many Linux Lite applications, the newest stable LibreOffice, Lite Upgrade has a new end dialogue, there's a new Video Editor in Lite Software and much more.

See below for details.



Changes:

Lite Upgrade

Many re-writes to this application, just in time for the 6.2 release. A new end dialogue is included and we've integrated the newest, stable LibreOffice into the up-grader.









Updated Icons

The latest Papirus icon set has been included.



Shotcut replaces Openshot in Lite Software

We researched a replacement for Openshot since it has been broken in Jammy for a long time now, we didn't want people to be left without a feature rich, simple to use video editor.

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/

Details:

Kernel: 5.15.0-52 ( custom kernels also available via our Repository for versions 3.13 - 6.0+ )
Chrome: 107.0
Thunderbird: 102.2.2
LibreOffice: 7.3.6.2
VLC: 3.0.16
Gimp: 2.10.30
Base: 22.04.1

Known Issues:

Eject Media prompt is only available at the end of the UEFI install.
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.

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.


Upgrading

There has been some tweaks to the Lite Upgrade code from Series 5.x. Most notably, the end dialogue has been simplified and will ask you to either Reboot, Shutdown or View Log. Also, Lite Welcome will no longer be displayed after a Reboot. Just look at Lite Widget to see if you upgraded successfully to 6.2 or do:

Hello!

I'm already running the Linux Lite 6.2!

I performed the Upgrade, and already have one hour of uptime.
The Upgrade procedure took me 3 minutes flat and went flawlessly.

I checked the following aspects:

• Lite Software. Apparently, nothing new.
  
• Lite Tweaks - Kernel Remover. In this version, it was supposed to remove the first kernel, 5.15.0.33.x Unfortunately, the problem is still there. I cycled about 8 times and it loops through the various packages, without really removing any (-generic, -unsigned, etc.).
  
• System Monitoring Center. Someone asked for an update in a previous post. The version is still the same ans if Jerry will find the time to upgrade, I assume will be available through the Update Manager.
  
• LibreOffice. The Upgrade Module, performed an Installation of two versions: 7.2 and 7.3. I'm a little bit confused... Anyway, if you have an older version running for various reasons (like I do, for one), maybe it is useful to know that it will still run, when double-clicking on an ODF file (.odt, .ods, etc.). That means the file association works based on the binary file name.
  

Any help with how to resolve this please?

Hallo liebes Forum
ich "Grandpa" bin komplett neu hier.
Langer Rede kurzer Sinn: Ich habe einen alten Laptop mit einer LinuxLite installation anscheinend komplett "verbogen".
Gibt es jemanden der mich Coachen mag?: Und sei es nur eine Lese-Topic hinweis erstmal ??

As said before I am Linux "Grandpa" and LinuxLite newbee ...
Making long story short: I got an old Laptop which I have sent into the NIRVANA with LinuxLite installation.
Anybody out there willing to help with diagnose / advice ?

So here come the details to my issue:
Old laptop (Siemens Amilo, everything factory standard except: 2GB Ram and 500GB SSD)
was running LinuxLite 3.8 32bit & WIN-XP dual boot setup for years.
until LinuxLite started to ask a password (out of the blue, it never did before)
I tried to bypass this with "rescatux-0.74.iso" and resetting the password to something new / known ... which failed.
At this stage GRUB was still working and offering both OS as choice to boot.
Hence I went on to reinstall LinuxLite 3.8 from scratch (over existing)
The first attempt to reinstall over existing failed too (Unknow System Error Message)
So I went on to reinstall LinuxLite beside existing OS, which went through
(I recall being asked to allocate Space)
and voila, here I am:
It is now offering 2 different Linux Versions to boot (1x not working at all and 1x I am currently using when typing these words)
There is no more Win-XP option to boot, which is sort of painfull - the only (not too much) valuable data was residing there - and I needed this to occasionally & flawless run some older Win Software ....

Possibly these partitions / data is still there ?? It is GRUB not working ??
Since I have self-inflicted this damage  :banghead , I reached out (here in this forum) to seek advice on how to possibly save my old win-boot partition ...

  I read somewhere that: issuing "sudo os-prober" in a terminal window would at least show me if an old windows boot partition was found on the system (before entering into grub details). However: This only shows me 2x LinuxLite as:
/dev/sda1:Linux Lite 3.8 (16.04):Ubuntu:linux
/dev/sda7:Linux Lite 3.8 (16.04):Ubuntul:linux

I am totally expecting this post to be moved "elsewhere", but I feel like being lost with tons of much more experienced people ... (I am currently going through all the dos&dont's Jerry kindly replied to me).

So please accept my rather unexperienced help request.

best regards and many thanks

Moving from the Bay Area to Modesto in a week. Anyone know if there is a Linux users group in or near there? Contact info?

Hello all,
I'm trying to RDP into my windows laptop via wifi
I have the user account setup in windows - the remote access turned on for that account - and a fixed IP address
I've installed Remmina  - and setup the new connection - with the IP address
The windows laptop wifi has not been switched off manually - so as far as I can see it is running
However when I try to access the windows laptop in Remmina - I get the response "Unable to connect to RDP Server"

I suspect this is a simple problem - but my first time trying to do this.
Can anyone help walk me through this?

Sincere thanks!
