Ubuntu software center update issues
#11
Quote: there were more updates in the Ubuntu updater. Lite software is silly OK. It is empty. I would like a really like a graphical software center and do not say there is synaptic. It is too advanced. Plus my question is if it will overwrite LL with Ubuntu?

More updates? For what? Only you can answer that? How should we know? Will it overwrite LL. Of course. Backup and then hit the button and find out if really wanting to explore the details.  Or run vanilla Ubuntu maybe?

I run a systemd free distro that requires me to disable apt pinning for something like a pulseaudio or pauvcontrol instead of using alsa for sound.
I am well versed in distro dynamics when it comes to special linux versions like Linux-Lite.

And no. I do not run Ubuntu PPA's in my systemd free operating system because I like the bling in another distro. All linux distros are not built the same and all packages are not installed in the same locations. Linux-Lite is very compatible with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. But certain parts are tailored to Linux-Lite only and you have picked 2 that are hard wired into the distro. Just like Zorin or Mint Linux.

OK, Number one What is that video. Number 2 I found out how to remove that error.

To fix it, type in Software and Updates and click the search, Click on updates, set Notify me of a new Ubuntu version to Never and type in your password

Yes that is a solution for the Ubuntu software manager. (Which is not supported by LinuxLite.)
However the issues that may arise from using the Ubuntu Software Updater----we can not foresee.

I always uncheck that as a "after first boot" checklist.
Here are some links for you, just be aware they are for Ubuntu, not LinuxLite specifically. I have had some success at getting other things working on LinuxLite.
