(This post was last modified: 03-03-2017, 03:06 PM by agedone.)
I installed LinuxLite 3.0 on to a separate powered external hard drive connected to a Toshiba C660 laptop running Windows 10.
The Linuxlite was upgraded to 3.2 using Menu->System->Lite Software
Using info from the online manual ->customize:-
Menu->Settings->Sessions and Startup does not list the expected Lite Desktop Widget to tick.
(The expected Compton is also missing)
How do I add this to the list so the widget can be activated?
Thanks

Welcome!!!
Since 3.0 to 3.2 you may want to try..
https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/relea...leased/30/
Which asks to try..
Menu, Favorites, Install Updates
Menu, Settings, Lite Upgrade
You may need to reboot after the fact for the box to show (I believe I needed to when I upgraded)...
Additionally - if my memory is serving me correctly... If you're planning to dual boot additional OS's beyond LL; there was a change to grub between 3.0 and 3.2.. In LL3.0 and the prior, LL grub liked to control boot, in 3.2 grub wasn't as controlling, the updated grub is available from a fresh install of 3.2 it did when upgrading..
Some info for awareness..

Replaced LL 3.0 updated to LL 3.2 by new installation from LL 3.2.
Lite Desktop Widget now visible in Menu->Settings->Sessions and Startup.
Problem solved.
