Why isn't it possible to upgrade from for example series 3 to series 4 while it is possible to upgrade pure ubuntu? Will LL ever get upgrade option between series?

I've just been asked [color=rgb(0, 0, 0)][/color]

[color=rgb(0, 0, 0)]by a friend who is interested in installing LL [/color]
an Asus E406SA and wants to know if this is possible. The laptop is marketed as a Cloudbook and runs Windows 10 S - i.e. the so-called stripped-down version of W 10. The machine is 64 bit with 4gb RAM and a fixed hard disk of 64Gb.


Has anyone had experience with this? Thoughts?

The bluetooth speaker connected correctly until this error message appeared: HOST IS DOWN. I'm new with Linux Lite 4.6 and can't find information on how to fix it. Thank you for your answers.

Level: Serious

Affects: Everyone on Series 4.x only that still has the Gimp PPA.

If you get the following error with Install Updates:

Code:

Apply the following fix:

Open a Terminal, do:

Code:
sudo apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update

ignore any errors relating to gimp.

Now run Install Updates as per usual.

I have just installed Linux Lite on an old Laptop with a Realtek FE Ethernet card. The card is only recognized every other reboot. The activity LED that is on the Ethernet port is on still when it doesn't work which tells me that the Ethernet has no hardware fault. When running ifconfig and the ethernet card is not working, the card does not show up. Wi-Fi works just fine.


Also, I have already tried doing everything on this page: [size=78%]https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2400056[/size]

I've made a script to put a file or folder into a recycle bin instead of a deleting it with rm (which could be problematic if you make an error).

In a file called usr/bin/trash, I've put the following:

Code:
#!/bin/bash # move a file or folder to a __trash__ folder (within the same directory) if [ "$1" = "" ]; then echo "You need a file or folder name."; exit 1; elif [ "$1" = "/" ]; then echo 'You cannot put "/" in trash.'; exit 1; fi trashParentDir="$(dirname $1)"; mkdir -p "$trashParentDir/__trash__"; mv -vft "$trashParentDir/__trash__" "$1"; exit 0;

Then I created 2 aliases:

Code:
alias rm="trash" alias empty-trash="sudo find / -depth -type d -name \"__trash__\" -exec rm -r '{}' ';'"

When using rm, you actually put a file or folder into a __trash__ folder within the same directory. (Note: it will overwrite a pre-existing file of the same name previously 'deleted')
In case of a mistake, just move the file out of the __trash__ folder.

When using empty-trash, you delete all __trash__ folders on the computer.  You need root privilege to do so.
You could make a Cron job to empty-trash regularly.

Some feedback for the program Linux Lite Updates (LLU) on LL 4.4.

I encounter a special case where I had to answer a question before updating and, of course, the program couldn't handle it, so it ended without updating.  I ended up doing a 'sudo apt update' on the terminal with the following output (the question I answered is on line 16):
