Thank you, moderator. But another problem appeared: some translations didn't came !
For instance, my right click menu remains the same. Apparently, the system text is the same of the previous version. I did already installed the language packages. . .
What else can I do ?

There is some way to upgrade to the 6.6 version from my current one (6.4)  without erasing my disk ?
Yes, just done it on my system.  In-series upgrade don't involve re-installs.

From the Lite Welcome screen
Select Install Updates
Scroll Down to find an Upgrade to 6.6 button

Or
Menu
Settings
Lite Upgrade

If you don't see these options, the instructions in the announcement should help.

Hi! Another flawless upgrade.  Thanks again, Jerry, donation on the way.  My upgrade was from English 6.4 to English 6.6.  I'm downloading a fresh iso to test the French version.

Release Announcement

Linux Lite 6.6 Final is now available for download and installation.

This is one our largest releases on record since we began in 2012.

We've added 1000's of lines of new code in the form of supporting a large range of languages.
We've massively increased the number of language translations across the entire Menu and Sub-Menu system, by adding support for 22 Languages.
We had the time to take on a task of this magnitude so we used it completely.

If you speak a language other than English, we hope you enjoy a vastly improved and a more complete Linux Lite.




Changes:


Support for 22 new Languages added

Afrikaans
Arabic
Chinese - Simplified
Croatian
Dutch
Finnish
French
German
Hebrew
Hindi
Italian
Japanese
Korean
Persian
Polish
Portuguese
Portuguese - Brazilian
Russian
Serbian
Spanish
Sweden
Ukranian


In the areas of:

Main Menu
Right click Menu
Folder Names
Linux Lite Application names
Desktop Icons
My Computer Menu names

Having completed a fresh install of Linux Lite 6.6, once you have restarted after the first login, full language support will be available across the entire Menu and Sub-Menu system. If there are still Menu entries that are not in your language, then consider contributing a translation to that developers software.

If you'd like to help out with Translations in this Series for the above mentioned areas, please go here https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/translations/ and post a reply with your changes under your Language thread. We have already received a number of submissions and have integrated them quickly into Linux Lite. Thanks for helping the community out :) There is still much to do, but we've made massive improvements to date.






















Lite Welcome

Thanks to your feedback, we've implemented a check to see if Linux Lite is running in a Live environment or not, and to only display the Install Now button if it is.

Lite Welcome - Live Environment



Lite Welcome - Installed to your computer



We've also added a link to our Free A.I. Chatbot that will give instant support in real time under the Support section:

https://www.linuxliteos.com/chatai/



Other Changes:

- Latest Papirus Icon Theme
- The Hardware Database now has over 85,000 submissions. 100k here we come! https://www.linuxliteos.com/hardware.php
- Latest stable versions of Chrome, LibreOffice, Lite applications etc
- New wallpapers

Plus many other tweaks and changes.

Window Theme: Materia
Icon Theme: Papirus
Font: Roboto Regular

Installation

How do I know if my Windows PC has UEFI?

In Windows Search, type msinfo or msinfo32 and launch the desktop app named System Information. Look for the BIOS Mode item, and if the value for it is UEFI, then you have the UEFI firmware. If it says BIOS Mode Legacy, then that’s the firmware you’re running.

Secure Boot is supported, but unless you know exactly how to handle it, it is a P.I.T.A. at best so I am going to say...you must disable Secure Boot to enable stress free computing.

Some helpful snippets from the latest Help Manual:





UEFI Support link - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/uefi-secure-boot/

Details:

Kernel: 5.15.0-82 ( custom kernels also available via our Repository for versions 3.13 - 6.5 )
Chrome: 116.0
Thunderbird: 102.15
LibreOffice: 7.5.5
VLC: 3.0.16
Gimp: 2.10.30
Base: 22.04.3

Known Issues:

Eject Media prompt is only available at the end of the UEFI install.
Desktop icons - English support only. - FIXED AND TRANSLATED
Dropbox: if you get an error, run the set up twice.
There is NO Grub Edit in Lite Tweaks in this Series for Linux Lite due to an unsolvable issue. Ubuntu will show in the Grub menu if you are dual or more booting. Try Grub Customizer if it annoys you.
Grub menu shows Linux Lite as 'Ubuntu'. See below for more on this.

- Open /etc/default/grub as Administrator.
- Comment out: GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` and leave GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Linux Lite' uncommented.
- Should look like:
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Linux Lite'
#GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
- sudo update-grub

Grub - press the ESC key whilst booting in UEFI mode after your BIOS has posted. Use the SHIFT key if running Linux Lite in Legacy mode.


Other Issues

Please tell us in this thread.

Upgrading

To see if you upgraded successfully to Linux Lite 6.6 open a Terminal and do:

Code: [Select]
cat /etc/llver
in a Terminal, should return Linux Lite 6.6. The upgrade log is stored in /var/log/lite-upgrade.log for those interested in the process.

> Menu, Favorites, Install Updates (you must reboot if asked to, otherwise continue to the next step)
> Set a Restore Point - Menu, System, Timeshift
> Menu, Settings, Lite Upgrade
> Reboot

PLEASE NOTE: If you do not have Menu, Settings, Lite Upgrade do:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install --reinstall lite-upgrade-series6
and, or:

Code: [Select]
rm -rf ~/.local/share/applications/lite-upgrade.desktop
then try Menu, Settings, Lite Upgrade again.

Having problems upgrading?

Code: [Select]
  Installed: 6.0-0040-linuxlite
  Candidate: 6.0-0040-linuxlite

Lite Upgrade - What it will do:

- New Lite Help Manual
- New Lite Themes
- New Lite Upgrade
- New Lite Welcome
- All Linux Lite Applications that have been translated

Checking the MD5SUM and SHA256 of the Linux Lite ISO:

Open a Terminal on Linux Lite and do:

Code: [Select]
md5sum linux-lite-6.6-64bit.iso
MD5SUM: 857e1da4197bf8881882a72b27dbfded

Check that it matches the exact characters in sequence above.


SHA256

Open a Terminal on Linux Lite and do:

Code: [Select]
sha256sum linux-lite-6.6-64bit.iso
SHA256: 732b5561783c7203e3b919a4c55508a4256c13785b80e2e47019d817b89e9543

Check that it matches the exact characters in sequence above.


TORRENT: (Fastest way to download the RC)

64bit Torrent from here - linux-lite-6.6-64bit.iso.torrent
Hash: 0baee3f3e8f08a626170c07f26c912a5331b0db4
Size: 2.4Gb (DVD, USB)


Live USB/DVD/VirtualBox/Vmware:

Login is automatic, no credentials are required. The image can be written to a 4gb or larger USB stick, or a writable DVD. Alternatively, you can use the dd command: sudo dd if=linux-lite-6.6-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M where 'x' is the letter of your usb stick. In linux to find out the letter of your usb stick, open a terminal and type: df -h It is usually listed as 'media' or similar. Please see the built in Help Manual if you require a more detailed explanation of this procedure.

A good, simple point and click USB ISO burner is https://www.balena.io/etcher/ or https://rufus.ie/
In our testing, Etcher and Rufus (for Windows only) have proven to be the most reliable. Etcher is available for Mac, Windows & Linux.

If the screen locks during Live mode, type linux into the user box and click on the Login button (no password required)


Reviewers in a VirtualBox:

Installing Updates does work with a Live ISO (ignoring the 'CDROM' errors). All features work as they should, once you have installed Linux Lite to hardware or a VM.
Once Linux Lite has been installed, add the following for a complete reviewing experience:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11
Don't forget the Guest Additions too!
Also, get the Extensions pack from here - https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Minimum Recommended Specs:
1Ghz processor
768mb ram
8gb HDD/SD
VGA screen capable of 1024x768 resolution
DVD drive or USB port for the ISO image

Preferred Specs:
1.5GHz processor+
1024mb ram+
20gb HDD/SSD+
VGA, DVI or HDMI screen capable of 1366x768 resolution+
DVD drive or USB port for the ISO image

Login to the live desktop is automatic.

The first thing you MUST do after a fresh install of Linux Lite is run Menu, Favorites, Install Updates.


Thank you and enjoy :)

Jerry and the team.
