Thanks, Will. 8)

The first step/command is correct. Half way there.


The second step/command needs one small change.

The Line
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS"

Should be changed to
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Lite 2.0"

To make the change
1. Open the file manager, Thunar
2. Navigate to the /etc folder in Thunar
3. At the top area of Thunar type /etc (erasing what's currently there) and press enter
4. You should be in the /etc folder in Thunar now
5. Locate the file lsb-release
6. Open the lsb-release file as administrator --- rt-click on the file lsb-release, choose open as administrator
7. Type in your password
8. The file lsb-release should open
9. Edit the last line of the file
10. Replace the words -- Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
11. With the words -- Linux Lite 2.0
12. Save the file
13. The end!

Did it work. Let's test it.
Type cat /etc/lsb-release

You should get the following output
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Lite 2.0"


Did it work?

No, you don't need to reinstall. ...

I posted above when I think I correctly tried what Scott(0) recommended but got the results posted. System Information still says my OS is Ubuntu 14.04.01 LTS. Everything seems to be working as normal but I do not think I will get updates for Linux Lite 2.0.

Should I reinstall?

When you run the first command you get the following error:

Quote
mv: cannot stat ‘/etc/issue’: No such file or director

because the file issue is not there.


In reply #2 of this post you entered this command

Quote
cat /etc/issue

and got this result

Quote
Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l

so the file issue was there.

Sometime between then and now the issue file was removed. This isn't a problem, it can be created easily with this command

Code: [Select]
sudo touch /etc/issue
and now you should be able to run the second command

Code: [Select]
sudo bash -c 'echo "Linux Lite 2.0 LTS \n \l" > /etc/issue'
now we can run a test to see if the issue file is correct

Code: [Select]
cat /etc/issue
you should get this result

Code: [Select]
Linux Lite 2.0 LTS \n \l

Coastie,


To get rid of packages that are no longer needed, just run the above command like this:
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get autoremove

Thanks, think I got that to work but still haven't got LL back..

No, you don't need to reinstall. The issue file can be easily replaced with the correct information.

Backup the current issue file
Code: [Select]
sudo mv /etc/issue /etc/issue.bak
Create a new issue file with the correct information
Code: [Select]
sudo bash -c 'echo "Linux Lite 2.0 LTS \n \l" > /etc/issue'

Ran first instruction above:

coastie@coastie-desktop:~$ sudo mv /etc/issue /etc/issue.bak

[sudo] password for coastie:
entered password

then got:

mv: cannot stat ‘/etc/issue’: No such file or director

Tried second and got:
coastie@coastie-desktop:~$ sudo bash -c 'echo "Linux Lite 2.0 LTS \n \l" > /etc/issue'
[sudo] password for coastie:

entered password

then goes back to
coastie@coastie-desktop:~$

Coastie,

Scott(0) already answered that no install is necessary.  I'll just go through rest of your original post.


The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  atomicparsley get-iplayer id3v2 libany-moose-perl libclass-load-perl
  libclass-method-modifiers-perl libclass-singleton-perl
  libcrypt-blowfish-perl libcrypt-rijndael-perl libdata-amf-perl
  libdata-optlist-perl libdatetime-locale-perl libdatetime-perl
  libdatetime-timezone-perl libhttp-server-simple-perl libid3-3.8.3c2a
  libio-socket-socks-perl liblist-moreutils-perl liblwp-protocol-socks-perl
  libmodule-implementation-perl libmodule-runtime-perl libmouse-perl
  libmp3-info-perl libpackage-stash-perl libpackage-stash-xs-perl
  libparams-classify-perl libparams-util-perl libparams-validate-perl
  libsub-install-perl libtie-ixhash-perl libtry-tiny-perl
  libunicode-string-perl libuniversal-require-perl libwww-mechanize-perl
  rtmpdump
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

Not sure what the above items above are. (Firefox and Thunderbird were updated.)
Above is just listing packages that are currently on the system but no longer needed.  They are not necessarily something that just happened during the update.  Some/most were probably installed as dependencies for programs that you later removed from the system.  They'll stay on the system unused unless you run that command to remove them.


I tried instruction and got the following:

coastie@coastie-desktop:~$ apt-get autoremove
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
You ran the command and saw that you needed to run it as root.


coastie@coastie-desktop:~$ su  apt-get autoremove
No passwd entry for user 'apt-get'
Here you ran the su command instead of sudo; so system thought you were trying to switch to user named "apt-get" and reported back with
Quote
No passwd entry for user 'apt-get'


coastie@coastie-desktop:~$ linux
The program 'linux' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install user-mode-linux
Not sure what you were doing here, so just going to ignore it.


To get rid of packages that are no longer needed, just run the above command like this:
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get autoremove

This has been covered in the past, the Default option [default=N] is always the right option to choose.
