Linux Lite 4.0 Beta Released

[member=5239]torreydale[/member] is the DisplayLink driver applicable to your hardware?

I tried DisplayLink before.  It think it was for that laptop.  I wasn't in the mood to troubleshoot with it but so much at the time.  I have a second PC I'm using, so I can wait until the release of LL 4.0 to try harder with the docking station issue.  I'm hopeful that it will be ok.  It worked with the Live DVD of Ubuntu 18.04 and 14.04, but it did not for Ubuntu 16.04.  Likewise, I was ok with LL 2.x, but not with LL 3.x or the beta of LL 4.0.

[member=5239]torreydale[/member] ok thanks. I've still no idea what the difference is between ours and the other distros you've mentioned. I've even done exhaustive package comparisons just for you on this. Some battles take longer to win.

I can still get my hand on the DELL 6430 and DELL docking station I had as a workstation before changing laptops if you wanna do some tests once 4.0 is released.
It has a Quadro video card inside though so it could be different than using the integrated Intel one.
I do remember, when I just got it, having problems getting the internal and two external monitors working at the same time and that was on Windows7 at the time.

Cheers!


Edit : Typos and clarity.

[member=6733]TheDead[/member] your set up could work perfectly. Unless you have the exact same hardware as torreydale, I'm not sure what your test can offer.The only other thing I can think of is if torreydale starts:

Code:

dmesg -wH

then mounts the laptop into the dock and pastes the last of the output here, I'm out of ideas.

[member=7562]Nyto[/member] I've thrown together a package that should work (tested at my end). Feel free to give it a go on 4.x - https://www.freecinema2022.gq/files/pulsea...uxlite.deb Open with Gdebi only.

Thank you, Jerry, will give it a try. Cheers!

Hi, I loved the 3.8 series and I want to try the beta. Downloading now. I wanted to ask that will I be able to upgrade from beta to release with updates or do I have to install again when 4.0 released? Thanks...

You will have to do a complete fresh install.
Copied from first post: There is no upgrade to or from Beta releases. Beta releases are for testing only and it is not recommended to run them as your main or secondary operating system.

Just noticed VLC did not use default theme. This is now fixed in the final. All QT apps should then respect the default theme settings.
