Linux Lite 3.6x64 beta.


Lite Sources: Have run Lite Sources again to check Repo source.


Still set for United Kingdom/England as per initial setup.


Very easy to use.

3.6 Beta Fresh Install

Wrong permission on /etc/skel (all sub-directories and files)... Fix:

Code:

sudo chown -R root:root /etc/skel

It should be owned by root:root instead of $USER:$USER.


Issue:

The /etc/skel folder hosts the default profile config for all new accounts. Something as simple as reseting the Whisker Menu BEFORE setting the proper permissions on that folder will break the customized and heavily modified Whisker Menu in Linux Lite for the active user and all subsequent accounts created in that installation because default $USER:$USER permissions allows the system to edit the default profile settings under /etc/skel. Not even Whisker Menu Restore will be able to help at that point because it uses /etc/skel (as it should) as base to restore user's menus to Linux Lite customized defaults.

Cheers!

Apart from the language/installer bug I reported. The Lite Sources works fine.
I also have a quick question about versions, will 3.6 have 16.04.3 already in the ISO and can Lite Softwares be updates to Wine 2.02 Stable (with the install recommends I guess) ? Wine updates can be installed trough PlayOnLinux but are not system wide it seems.

Cheers!

Yes, 3.6 will have 16.04.3 as a base.
Wine - defaults to whatever is available in the Ubuntu repos at the time. We want to minimize the amount of PPAs used in this OS, and you would have to use a PPA to use a newer version of Wine. I use the Wine staging PPA myself. You can install it with these instructions - https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

Yay for 16.04.3!  \('')/ <- ASCII power!

Thanks for the wine info Jerry I already do that ;-)
I had the same problem in Mint. I tought that maybe Lite Software was a little more "independant" from Ubuntu with it's "Lite" name and all *wink*. Maybe adding a third party section in Lite Sources for stuff in Lite Software? Wink, wink, poke, poke. ;-)

Anyhoo, its, sad for Ubuntu repo, considering that Wine 2.x is woo-ay better than 1.x, I'll have to check on how to make a script to install the stable 2.02 or dev 2.14 versions

All hail the mighty Jerry! Urrah!

32 bit now been running on Fuji V3405, as per sig, now for some days.  repos changed to UK.  Updating but not as frequently as 3.4 64bit (HP DC7700 sf) on default repo source.  Both machines set to hourly notifications.

All appears to be OK - just general browsing - youtube etc.
