Could this be incorporated into the iso so that Google Earth works.  Not tested yet.  Will try work around later

Or will this work around corrupt LL3.0?? Advice appreciated.

We did say in the announcement that no Google products would be included in Series 3.x

Worked fine last night installed this today
http://www.noobslab.com/2016/01/shadow-i...h-all.html
Did my updates and upgrades through the terminal
and clamTk scan

Anyone? I'm using 3.0 I see the audio bar in the mixer showing sound working as I play music in VLC and youtube videos and yes I checked my earphones on a mp3 player.

OMG sorry everyone found my KB mute was enabled. I feel so senior!

If I press my mute button on the keyboard it shows in the indicator it is muted with an X if I use my mouse to unmute instead of pressing the keyboard unmute the indicator shows it is not muted and there is no sound. I have to press the KB button to unmute.

Is this a software bug?

@LinuxNoob, read through this thread - http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=346326

When I first installed LL 3.0 on my HP computer the sound didn't work. Going into 'Volume control' the sound had been muted. Clicked that off. Sound worked. But when I installed LL on my Acer, no problems. Might be worth noting the 'IF' you have a sound problem when installing LL check that. Remember what Arthur Dent said 'Don't Panic!'.

I'm ditching Volti in the Final, you should be fine then.

(.....)The Google saga experienced this year has proved to be a valuable lesson (see below). The only PPA's are for Gimp, Wine and Systemback - they have not let us down to date.

[b]Google Software - Once burned, twice shy. The Google PPA issues this year has left a sour taste in my mouth. No Google products will appear in Lite Software for the entirety of Series 3. You can still get Chrome etc from the internet. A huge thank you to those who helped people who's Updates were not working. I know this has been a p.i.t.a. and I would like to recognize this community for assisting people with the Google fix. We'll look at reintroducing Google software in Lite Software in Series 4. Let's see how things pan out over time.

Isn't this just Google bashing? That Google stopped with 32-bit support is their valid decision to make and execute. Not yours to judge Jerry. They didn't had to ask for your permission. That most users experienced problems during updating was easy to fix. That does not mean that Google is bad and evil, they purely made a decision to create their path onwards to the future. And beside that, 32-bit systems are dying out. The percentage of 32-bit systems are getting slimmer by the day. So, if you aks me, Google made a good choice and doesn't deserved to be bashed like this for nothing.

Just another question, which kernel version will be used? I hope the 4.4 LTS kernel??

One possible bug, can anyone else replicate this?

- Install Steam and Dropbox from Lite Software
- After installation, start both apps, network tray icon disappears

Must be done on real hardware as Steam doesn't start in VirtualBox. Thanks

Steam installed ok but with a warning that the package was out of date.
The tray icon did disappear for a few seconds but came back.
Hope this helps.

Dropbox installed ok but cannot re-open it.
No response from desktop icon

LL 3.0 beta 64 bit

Have just noticed that although Dropbox will still not open from the desktop it will open from the system tray icon.

Can you open the contents of the Dropbox desktop icon with Leafpad,  and paste the info here. Thanks.
