Linux Lite 3.0 Beta Released

[Ottawagrant]

Wanted to mention: If you have a choice for your computer of a dvd (iso) install, or installing from a flash drive - go with the flash drive. This is NOT a complaint, I just found the dvd install a bit slow. I want to make sure this is in perspective - an install is a one time deal. To continue the discussion on the 'lite control center' it's not in the repository either. No problem. May 9th, early days yet. Going to install LL 3.0 on a nVidia/AMD based computer tomorrow & then a netbook. For you US Powerball players - play the number '3'. It's looking lucky.

Live USB (64-bit) prompting for userid/pw = thought this was auto logon?

Installed to a multi-boot flash drive

I know that we're done talking about the control center, however I still see it in the terminal as an option to install it in 2.8. Just FYI guys.

Does anyone know for sure whether the Lite Control Center will be back for the 6/1 final release of Citrine?
Such a simple question, yet it remains unanswered.  Is there no one who knows the answer to that question?


Anyone?

Not at this stage, will let you know if anything changes. No need to ask the same question multiple times, I do read all the posts and have been asleep since my last post. Cheers.

Anyone else use a drop down terminal?

Gave it a try some time ago, as I did with Tilda.
Ditched all of them after a while again. I'm working quite a lot with terminals, so to me these kind of special tools have been more a restriction. Beside that I prefer the system as clean, simple and light as possible. That's why I use Linux Lite

wow. good luck with the download. I keep fingers crossed that all comes in without a problem.

Thanks! Download successfully finished and 64bit system already booted up via USB stick.

Great job Jerry & team! Highly appreciated!

Didn't play around with it yet. But I noticed the following: When I click "Terminal" on the panel I get a terminal window titled "Command Line". If I open a second one it's called "LXTerminal". Not a biggie, but not to confuse new users it might be better consistent.

Also, the terminal can be resized by dragging the borders ONLY on the top left corner. I assume that's not the intention, is it?

Thanks again for all the hard work!

I fired up LL3.0 beta in virtualBox.

The first thing I noticed is when I was installing it, no indicator showed the progress even though there was disk activity, it just sat there. Once it was installed and did an update, then a progress bar showed activity.

When I right click on the desktop, the menu that comes up is very strange, doesn't show an indicator bar showing where I am at in the menu. Also, the menu behavior in the whisker menu area just seems odd to me visually. Shouldn't that also show a light blue bar first in the first section ? The second area to the right has a darker blue bar whose behavior seems ok, wish the first part had the light bar using the same behavior.

In the workspace area, I was a bit confused when I looked there, it doesn't mimic what's actually on the screen, a generic icon comes up, it threw me off for a few minutes until I figured out what was going on. Is is computationally expensive to get the screen and shrink it so it shows the super small version of the screen in the workspace area ?

Anyway, these are just my impressions and feedback so far on the 3.0 Beta

I am using the 64 bit version of the Beta.

Folks, please remember to include what architecture, 32bit or 64bit your testing when making your posts, so I know where to fix the bugs!

Can't replicate the 64bit requiring user & pass on live boot, I used imagewriter to burn the iso to usb, looks like unetbootin is a good option too. Can confirm VirtualBox kernel message.
