I use Grub4Dos to boot my linux distros and want to completely get rid of Grub2. Grub2 is a bloated piece of software that makes the process of each kernel update very long, especially when there are multiple Linux versions installed on the same machine. You just get stuck watching the screen showing the message "updating grub configuration file" when Grub2 slowly scans the hard drive.

1) Option #1 is to turn off os-prober:

Hi LL members,

I observed applications like (TeamViewer, VNC or many others (that usually have their notification icon appear on the right corner near the clock)
have their icon appearing in taskbar as normal tasks.

Do you have an idea on how to modifiy this please ?
Thank you.

If there is a piece of software that you would like to see in Linux Lite 2.2? Please suggest it here.
Before doing this, consider the following criteria:

- Is it widely considered essential? eg. a date and time app is a good example
- Is it something I like to use, or does it have wide appeal? eg. VLC has much wider appeal than Totem. Personal favorites are not good suggestions unless they have wide appeal and are simple to use whilst looking great.
- Just because we are going to DVD size doesn't mean we will include 30 new programs, we must remain 'lite'.

What is so far being added.
- A new simple mouse theme with changeable cursor size.
- Gnome Date and Time
- Lite Welcome
- Added media check to Live boot menu
- Added graphical md5sum check to right click menu
- Added libreoffice-gnome to open office files on a NAS
- Dropped Mumble
- Added inxi
- Added 'File Search' (catfish)
- Added new wallpapers from https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/index...15#msg5415 and https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/index...opic=989.0
- URL Menu entries now use exo-open instead of xdg-open
- Adjusted Screensaver and Power Settings to negate settings conflict

Thank you for participating

Never mind, my wonderful wife found a terminal command.

Hello all, did any one knows when Version 2.2 is coming. I am now working with 2.0 and it works fine but maybe is 2.2 more better.

Hi, I'm regularfella, aka Lance.

No more distro hopping for me. This is what I've been looking for. I've installed Linux Lite 2.0 on my Acer Aspire 1410. It has a Core 2 Solo and 3gb ram, 250gb hdd.

Everything worked out of the box. My favorite apps were a breeze to install and this distro runs great on this machine. The screen is broken so I've hooked it up to a 1600x900 monitor and even that was detected and ready to go out of the box. Now it serves as a desktop PC with my wireless mouse and keyboard combo.



I first installed the 32 bit version, but now I have the 64 bit version installed. For some reason the machine seems to run faster on x64.

Love the GUI, Love the simplicity. I'll be sticking with Linux Lite for a long time to come.

I would like to see updates pause at the end of updates so you can review all the changes made to your system. I have modified the update script file last few lines to do just that so update does not terminate until you press the [Enter] key.

echo "Updates complete."
echo ""
read -p "Press [Enter] key to exit"

Hello, I have an Acer aspire 5720, which I loaded Linux Light as a dual system it Windows Vista. When in Linux light,  the screen goes  black after about 10 minutes, even if you're working on the computer. Then you can't wake it back up.  The computer is a 32bit with 2GB memory. Any suggestions?
