Linux Lite 3.0 Final Released

[firenice03]

So I've installed 3.0 32-bit to my mini.. Again LL has come through, its still in its infancy but its good..
I find that I may prefer 2.8 just a hair more but this isn't due to anything in LL3.0 - more so 16.04 and the fact I installed a new a drive and the getting back to previous state is par for the course..
But a couple things I came across...

More so app and hardware vs. bugs... So as mentioned this isn't due to LL3.0 but will work in LL3.0 ..

VPN - Anyconnect
Problem: Cannot be set up in the GUI/Nework Manager
Workaround: Use CLI to initiate the connection

Code:

sudo openconnect https://<remote.host.here>

Enter VPN server in place of <remote.host.here>
Follow prompts for GroupID, UserID and Password

WiFI - RTL8192cu
Problem: Slower speeds and disconnects
Fix: Updated Driver
Disconnect WiFi, connect with ethernet - then the below commands 1 at a time..

Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential dkms git
git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git
sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes
sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.10
sudo depmod -a
sudo cp ./rtl8192cu-fixes/blacklist-native-rtl8192.conf /etc/modprobe.d/
sudo cp ./rtl8192cu-fixes/8192cu-disable-power-management.conf /etc/modprobe.d/

then reboot

Pointer disappears after hibernate/suspend.
Workaround.. CTRL+ALT+F1 then CTRL+ALT+F7

Conky (1.10):
Problems: Items not working the same as previously in 2.8 (conky 1.9)
Fix: Conky was updated to 1.10, googled and several threads discuss.. I rolled back to 1.9 as I just wanted it to work for the time being.. May revisit

If already installed - remove

Code:

sudo apt-get remove --purge conky-std && sudo apt-get autoremove

Then... *Note version required (64bit or 32bit) for 32 I used xxxx_i386.deb

Code:

w get http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/conky/conky-std_1.9.0-4_amd64.deb

Remove the space from w get

Again replace with xxxx_i386.deb

Code:

sudo gdebi conky-std_1.9.0-4_amd64.deb

Finally so it doesn't get updated:

Code:

sudo apt-mark hold conky-std
