Linux Lite 2.4 Final Released

[N4RPS]

Hello, Stephen.

Welcome to the Linux Lite forums. I'm glad your upgrade went smoothly for you.

Very few people have had any problems with upgrading. I don't think upgrades get any easier or faster on any other OS than LL's are with Lite Upgrade. Some of that is from LL being based on an LTS version of Ubuntu, which means far fewer changes between point versions...

Hi, I am new to the forums here. I just did the update on my Linux Lite 2.0 to 2.4 and everything went great! I installed the "Lite Upgrade" program from the terminal and a very smooth upgrade! Thanks for such a great operating system.

Bit late to join party Linux Lite 2.4 looks nice.

But like they say "Better Late Than Never"

Try this:

Code: [Select]

cat /etc/lsb-release
under "DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION" it should say "Linux Lite <version number>"

I am a stupid user and always will be. Love LL but in terms of upgrade: after 30 mins of searching cannot find out how to find out what version I have. How do I do that?

Yeah my Lite Upgrade from 2.2 to 2.4 ended up breaking my Lite Software, 2.4 was also buggy and had issues, I guess I just ran into bad luck with using the Lite Upgrade.

But yeah I did a fresh install of 2.4 and everything is fine and is working now, Lite Software is working and even my Light Locker Settings is working now ( I couldn't get that working in 2.2).

So yeah, thanks Jerry and thanks to the Linux Lite team for all the hard work, Linux Lite just keeps getting better and better.

You're welcome Shady, thanks for letting us know

Hello!

Yeah my Lite Upgrade from 2.2 to 2.4 ended up breaking my Lite Software, 2.4 was also buggy and had issues, I guess I just ran into bad luck with using the Lite Upgrade.

I've used the 2.4 upgrade on several machines now. Only one failed, and I may have had something to do with that. As it did for you, a clean 2.4 install fixed things.

So yeah, thanks Jerry and thanks to the Linux Lite team for all the hard work, Linux Lite just keeps getting better and better.

Yes, they have all excelled on this one - which, as unpaid volunteers, says a lot right there...

Hello!

Jerry, I know you and the team must be proud about all the interest in the new version. Given all the distros available out there, I'd call those stats a very good response.

I hope to see a LOT of new people in the forums introducing themselves in the next little bit. You really DO get a whole lot more out of it when you participate...

Hi! Just here to say that I just used Lite Upgrade on my two main machines (2 laptops; a newer HP and an oldish Toshiba) and everything worked and is working perfectly!!

Thank you so much LL Dev team and community!

Cheers.

Congratulations!
