Grub Quirk |

Just passing this along cuz I have a soft spot for LL:
1. I install Linux Lite.
2. I boot to Linux Mint, my keeper distro.
3. I edit Grub Customizer to my tastes. Its description for Lite: menuentry script:os-prober.
4. I try to boot into Lite; get some 'expected filename' error message.
5. I reinstall Lite and also install Grub Customizer there. Its description: menuentry script:linux / default name: description: Linux Lite 2.0 GNU/Linux. By the way, I didn't edit those lines, just the first-line names.
It works fine that way, probably because of the differences up there. It very well could've been my error, but I've done steps 1-3 on dozens of distros and Lite is the first to trip me up. I've also tried all this more than once to confirm that it's repeatable. I can email pix if you like.

Tried to run LL 2.0 live but no go. Checked boot order... no problem. The ISO disc starts and gets to the music and then dies.
No other distro is affected in live mode. Would appreciate some help as I don't understand this one.

Is there a way to update V1.0.8 to V2.0 without loosing partitions and data |

Hello community,
I started to use Linux with Linux Lite V1.0.8 some months ago - great distro for me as a user who wants to use a browser, a document editor and an email client and who is fed up with Microsoft's license policy and changing os system names....
Linux Lite is really easy to use and I installed the latest V2.0 on my netbook - what shall I say? It works perfectly and I would like to update this notebook with Linux Lite V1.08 to V2.0.
Attached you will find my notebook's system report - don't know if this is helpful.
On this machine is installed Linux Lite as well as Windows XP.
Is there a way to upgrade V1.0.8 to V2.0 without loosing all my partitions, data and installed programs?
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.
Robert

Linux Lite Kernel |

So that we can better support new hardware, we've starting producing a custom Linux Lite kernel. I've yet to decide if this is something that will be offered post-release of each Linux Lite, or with the release.
When compiling this kernel, there is special emphasis on hardware support. I painstakingly go through the entire kernel and add as much hardware support as possible.
For this to be a success, I need your help.
We need people with the following graphics cards: ATI, Intel and nVidia.
These kernels will be beta quality until I am satisfied we have stable, reliable kernels available in both 32bit and 64bit versions. If you'd like to participate, do the following:
Open a terminal and do:
Code: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-linuxlite-3.15.0 linux-image-linuxlite-3.15.0 -y
Ignore any errors in the terminal.
NB: This should NOT be tested on your everyday machine unless you know how to remove the kernel from a tty. If you have a spare pc or laptop lying around with the above graphics cards we really need your feedback and your results. Also if you are using VirtualBox, these LL Kernels will not work with it. You'll have to use the stock kernel that ships with LL if you want to use VirtualBox.
We will only release the latest stable mainline kernels, if you're not sure what these are see here - https://www.kernel.org/ it will be the kernel version in the yellow box on the right.

Hello all,
Happy to be a new Linux Lite User.
Already finding help for my noob problems here. Must say that this forum is invaluable helping this new Linux user jump the Windows Ship.
Great day to you all.
