Hi All,

As of version: 1.0-0250 the script will no longer run for me. I get prompted for my password and then nothing. A reboot gave the same results. I'm on LL 2/64.

Edit:
Don't pay too much attention to this problem. Narrowed it down to my system, just not sure what yet. Hey, gotta breaks things every once in a while!

Hi Scot.

Code:

gksudo /usr/scripts/lite-software

If that starts the script, it's probably the .desktop shortcut is trying to run with

Code:

gksudo  sh /usr/scripts/lite-software

Hi bitsnpcs.  Yes - I've tried that now and it's still showing status Not Installed.

Hello bobw,
thank you for trying this.
I am glad to read the update Valtam done has solved it when you installed this.

@misko, reference: reply #82

Thanks Misko, that fixed it. In case it matters for development the sh command I removed was in the launcher properties for the icon - install additional software. If there's also a .desktop file, I haven't located it yet.

I agree, I have had TLP on 2 laptops for about 10 days, an old Sony Netbook Intel ATOM based, and my pretty High Spec'd HP i3/16GB Laptop, it did have Win 8 Pro.
It's very difficult to test precisely/acurately, but on light usage and idling, TLP gave about 20~ 30 mins extra battery life on each of them, for a basic install & forget.
