Hi Valtam,

Can you clarify which update you are referring to.?
When I select Update on the main menu,
I enter my Password, and that's it, no option to choose from.
It runs, and the updates are applied, the screen closes

I have never encountered any screens like Scott(0) posted.

Thanks... David

Hi. I'm fairly confident the update from the previous screenshot comes from:
package = base-files
version = 6.5ubuntu6.7

I'm not sure why you never got a prompting option for the changes. Maybe check in Synaptic to confirm that it is actually installed.

Hi,

I did in fact receive the screens posted during the update.
And yes, I selected to replace the files, as it was an update - silly me.
I have corrected the files back to their original contents.

All is good, now.
Thank you all for being patient with me.

A suggestion for the update would be to remove these two files from the update, so the Linux Lite distribution is not mis-marked.

Yes Scott, people are choosing the wrong option during updates, when the default is already chosen for them. All they need to do is press Enter for the issue and the lsb updates.

Hi. I think the (/etc/issue) and (/etc/lsb-release) files were replaced during an update. See below.




Here's the original contents of those files:

Linux Lite 1.0.6 - /etc/lsb-release
Code: [Select]
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Lite 1.0.6"

Linux Lite 1.0.6 - /etc/issue
Code: [Select]
Linux Lite 1.0.6 LTS \n \l
Linux Lite 1.0.8 - /etc/lsb-release
Code: [Select]
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Lite 1.0.8"

Linux Lite 1.0.8 - /etc/issue
Code: [Select]
Linux Lite 1.0.8 LTS \n \l

That same command will also show either x86_64 (for 64-bit version), or i686 (for 32-bit version).

Just peeked at the System Info program and it also lists those under the "Operating System" category.

You're probably right that something got changed during an update -- but I don't know what that might be.

Tried uname -a with the following result:

3.2.0-40-generic-pae

I knew that I had installed Linux Lite 1.0.6, but the question was how to identify later.
There is also no information on 32-bit versus 64-bit.  I had used the 32-bit version.

I am beginning to think the system update that I executed last night replaced the Linux-Lite identification strings with Ubuntu identification.
This will leave the default desktop background as the only indicator of what system is installed.

@ mjwilliamsmj,

Strange.  Just checked both versions with VirtualBox using the "System Information" program and got same results as Wirezfree -- it showed Linux Lite 1.0.8 and 1.0.6 respectively.

So, I ran this command in a terminal to see what kernel was used in each version:
Code: [Select]
uname -a
The version 1.0.8 used a kernel beginning with "3.8.0 ... -generic".  The 1.0.6 version had kernel beginning with "3.2.0 ... -generic".  Run that command and see if yours starts with either "3.8..." or "3.2...".  That should tell you what you have.

Result of the command:

michael@eMachine-LL:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS"
michael@eMachine-LL:~$


The last line identifies as:
Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS (Precise Pangolin) - Ubuntu Releases

So I do not see where the Linux Lite information is identified.

Hi,

I'm confused, I'm sure I've not edited anything..??
Code: [Select]
wirezfree@asus-lili:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Lite 1.0.8"
wirezfree@asus-lili:~$

O.K.. will need another option

How can I identify what version of Linux Lite I have installed?

I have tried many of the commands on other Linux forums, but the results are always about Ubuntu.
Is there a way to tell if I am using Linux Lite 1.0.6 or 1.0.8?

Hello and Welcome,

The one I use gives everything, but look at the last line

Code: [Select]
cat /etc/lsb-release
