Title: Version number?
Post by: mandoran on January 30, 2016, 02:30:17 PM
Apologies for this absurdly simple question, I am sure I have either forgotten or am missing something ridiculously obvious, but I am getting ready to tinker with a few machines and I cannot find out which version of LL I have on them. System info and report give me core and Ubuntu information, but I can't find anything about LL version. What am I missing/forgetting? Thanks!

From terminal..

Code: [Select]
cat /etc/llverThis will output LL version

Or for additional info..
Code: [Select]
lsb_release -a

I agree. But some members complain about command line answers (which I do not understand why, myself) so

Ah, but when I do that I don't get Linux Lite info, I get Ubuntu version info. That was really why I posed the question in the first place.

Perhaps someone can now help me with the bureaucracy - I keep getting emails asking me to mark my solved questions as solved, but the attached instructions do not seem correct to me - there is no button to mark the topic solved in any of my entries here. I do see a solved button at the bottom, and I have hit that to mark this solved when I got the first answer. When I view this topic in my browser I see only a button asking me to toggle the case back to not being solved.

Yet apparently the case is not being marked as solved to the satisfaction of the forum system. I am baffled - can someone help with this?

You can click on Best Answer and/or prepend (SOLVED) to your subject line.

The instructions are very clear, scroll to the bottom - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/introductions/forum-posting-guidelines/

Yes, as I have tried to explain, I have read this several times but the forum does not look like that to me. There is no modify option in any of my posts, not the original either.

Sorry, I mean I don't have a Prefix box.

I do have a button at the bottom of the thread, that toggles and currently says Topic not solved, so as far as I can see, the only button I have to mark solved, I have used, and I can only hit that button to mark the thread as Not solved.

Try to mark another one of your Threads as Solved using the prefix mandoran. I 'll look into what's going on.

Thanks! Just curious if you marked this thread solved, or if it has somehow kicked in very belatedly. Though I still don't see the Prefix box as shown by the instructions.

I marked it as Solved. Logout then in again, and then try to mark another one of your Support threads as Solved.

Logging out and in did the trick. I must remember to do this as default in future when encountering a glitch. I searched for my old threads and had no trouble going into an old one and marking it solved. I'll just check and see if I also get this on one that is newest and unsolved.


Thanks/sorry for the trouble.
