In the absence of Ralphy's customized version of the Mint Updater tool for Linux Lite, you can still run a version of the updater (not Ralphy's, though) courtesy of the Mint Tools website -

https://launchpad.net/~gm10/+archive/ubu...mint-tools

Just add the ppa using the command line (terminal) with the following -

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gm10/linuxmint-tools
sudo apt-get update

After adding the ppa, open Synaptic Package Manager and search for 'mintupdate'. Install and then reboot your system.

You can run the Mint Updater either through the whisker menu or by clicking on the 'shield' icon in the panel. If the shield icon doesn't appear automatically in the panel after rebooting your system, just add the item 'Notification Area' to the panel to make it appear.

And that's it - not as slick and as integrated as Ralphy's version (no colored shield icons, for instance) but it does run on LL.5.

For the lazy updater, there is also a great bash tool called Ucaresystem-core. You can download the .deb file from the app website -

https://launchpad.net/~utappia/+archive/.../+packages

Choose the  ucaresystem-core_4.4.0_all.deb (23. KiB3)  package file for 'Focal' and save it to downloads in your file manager.

Once you've installed the file using gdebi, you can run Ucaresystem-core either as a GUI app or open a terminal and just type 'ucaresystem-core', it's that simple.

After updating your system, Ucaresystem-core will not only automatically remove old, unneeded kernels, but it will also check to see if you need to reboot your system after installing updates. It's one of my favorite apps.

Enjoy

Previously, in Linux Lite 3.8 and 4.8, I was able to install both WPS Office 2016 and Master PDF Editor

In the current Linux Lite 5.0, both cannot be installed. Please assist

Seems to be a problem that crops up from time to time. Will be a new feature in Lite Tweaks coming soon. In the meantime, here's how to restore a messed up taskbar to the originally installed state.

Open a Terminal:

Hi all

I need a list of browsers which can operate decently on old computers. I was using Brave  with widevine for netflix but having recently learned of issues with it I'd like to migrate to another browser. Firefox is my preference but it doesn't work properly as the systems don't have enough RAM.

Can anyone help? I need something that can run netflix and the like. Thanks!

I'm having the same issue as in this topic: https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/netwo...-lite-5-0/.

I'm using TP-Link TL-WN722N. On live USB its working, but after installation system is showing me that it is connected to the network, but internet is not available.

Following request by user Jerry, response is as follows:

sudo lshw -C network:

Hello,

Great release!
However I noticed one minor detail that took my attention, the RAM usage.
In 4.8 version it was approximately 450MB and with 5.0 it is ~660MB in idle.
So what is a thing here? Is it something related to new kernel you are using, 5.4, or did you add some new background features?

I know, it may be pointed out in your release files, but I don’t really have time and intention to dig into it.
So I would be very touched if someone out there would explain me this issue.

Best regards,
Your BIG fan!

I tried both and had problems

Un saludo a los usuarios de Linux Lite les traigo un problema el cual he estado dándole la vuelta en la Intel Atom N455 de mi hermano desde hace ya 1 mes la cual le puse el Xubuntu 18.04 Lubuntu 18.04 Sparsky 4.3 y siempre la misma falla pensando eran los Linux los cuales no conectaba la tarjeta Intel Wireless Centrino N100.

Me puse a revisar los Foros y vi que la misma da errores de conectividad con las distribuciones basadas en Ubuntu y sus derivados al parecer eran los drivers los descargie desde la web de Intel los descomprimi y envie a las carpetas de Firmware pero nada se resolvió edite los archivos /etc/resolv.conf quite las direcciones MAC pero nada resulto.

Revisando en un foro en Italia de usuarios de Ubuntu me di cuenta de un usuario tenia las mismas fallas de conexion y decidi probar las mismas me meti hackeando el router de mi vecina con la clave (eso no lo hagan no es etico) y me meti en la configuracion de el router viendo que la misma tenia la siguiente configuracion: 2.4 GHZ B-G-N Channel Width 40 MHZ y el Channel Number 6 siendo esto incorrecto por el tipo de tarjeta que solamente soporta 20 MHZ y Number 11.

Procedo a cambiar el Router a Channel Width 20/40 MHZ y el Channel Number a 11 y Listo problema resuleto con todas las Tarjeta Intel Centrino Wireless.

Gracias

Buenas tardes estimados Usuarios del Foro:

Hoy después de haber instalado el Linux Lite 5.0 me di cuenta de que mi LibreOffce estaba con el Menú en Ingles y la hora no se sincronizaba con el Servidor NTP dándome errores el Navegador y por lo tanto decidí revisar me metí en las configuraciones de Idiomas del mismo y elimine el Idioma Ingles procediendo a Instalar el Idioma Español que no estaba el proceso duro algo termine reinicie el Sistema al entrar reviso el LibreOffice el mismo estaba el Idioma cambiado correctamente y decidí activar el Servidor NTP el cual sincronizo la hora sin problemas.

Para aquellos que les ha pasado esta la solución.

Gracias
