"Linux Lite 2.0 Updates" vs. "Software Updater"
#8
Hello!

Apologies to Valtam.

UIAM, for stability purposes, the Linux Lite 'Install Updates' function holds back 'bleeding-edge' kernel updates, as such updates could (and, from my experience, usually do) cause problems with what makes Linux Lite work as it does. You see, the Software Updater in Ubuntu Software Center/Lubuntu Software Center does not restrict kernel or other updates in any way.

With my knowing just enough Linux to be dangerous, I have made a lot of these same mistakes myself. Were I in your shoes, I'd remove Lubuntu Software Center with the hope that it hasn't damaged things very much already. Worst case scenario, if it has broken anything of significance, then reinstalling LL will fix it.

The scripts are GREAT for obtaining the absolute essentials, but to add EVERYTHING would be totally impractical. Personally, I hope that one day, something can be done by someone to develop a Software Center for Linux Lite. An LL Software Center would be a BIG help for people who haven't yet worked out the finer points of installing new software - myself included...
