Linux Lite 4.2 Final Released
barnaby:
I still cannot update LL. It insists that I am up to date with version 3.8. I am using v 4.0 which I installed from the final version, not the beta one. I was getting some replies about this, but they have now disappeared. Although I have used computers for many years, and Linux exclusively since 1999, I still find this forum the most difficult one to use that I have ever seen. I have tried everything that I can think of, but to no avail. I think now that I have two options. I can stay with version 4.0 until version 5.0 arrives. Or I can look elsewhere for a different distro. I don't want to go for the latter since I think that LL is the best distro that I have ever used. Please, can anyone come up with any suggestions? By the way, I am stuck with lite-upgrade-series3 and I do not know how to install series 4.

Gz bro! Same here, just finished installation and made the updates. No problems at all, as usual with LL.
I have one issue though, which is not related to Linux Lite but the Linux wireless subsystem.
If you are not from the United States of America, please check what the command "iw reg get" says.
For me it always says either:
--- Code: ---country 00
--- End code ---
or
--- Code: ---country US
--- End code ---
which are wrong, since I'm in Europe and
some of you are from other regions. Country 00 is always wrong.
One might think this is not an issue since the wireless network works fine. However, if we are accurate, it is a
legal issue, since every country has it's own legal radio frequencies which are available for civilians.
As I said, this is not an issue with Linux Lite, it is an issue with the Linux kernel, or better yet - the lack of it at
the moment.
I am not going into the details of this thing, since it is very simple to fix. You only need to know the abbreviation
of your country: For example, if you live in France, the abbreviation is 'FR'. It is usually just two letters.
So, assuming that you live in France, you would do the following to fix the regulatory domain:
--- Code: ---sudo iw reg set FR
--- End code ---
And you may then verify that the radio frequencies are correct for domain 'France' by commanding:
--- Code: ---iw reg get
--- End code ---
which should now begin with FR instead of '00' or 'US'
If I may help, please ask in this topic since I seem to be blocked in other areas here
Cheers!
