No problems to report here.
I clicked update this morning and noticed it was downloading a new version of the manual, that's when I remembered "today's the day".
Afterwards, I clicked on Lite Upgrade and in no time I was seeing the reboot prompt, I rebooted and -oh my gosh!!, everything looks the same! (which is great news because I didn't want to lose my customizations 8) [size=78%]).[/size]
[/size]
I confirmed I was running 4.2, and then rebooted and timed my boot time. It was exactly the same 15 seconds from cold boot, so I'm happy as a tornado on a trailer park  ;D
Pathological tweaker.

Added instructions to original post for those who may experience upgrade issues. This is only likely to occur within the first 24hrs of release.

Did a fresh install of LL4.2 from a DVD with the ISO on it. Used the 'install release' from the boot screen. No errors after install. Ran updates. Selected software mirror. Checked my repository selection in Synaptic. All's good. The Beta was really good & the RC is the smoothest install of LL yet.

Glad to hear :)

This is a perfect opportunity to finally run the destructive hard drive test I was aiming at, then reinstall with the new version of Lite.

All I can think of is some folks aren't using the default Linux Lite repository, and are using their local one. Some may have to wait for their local to catch up.

Just checked again for updates and updates were available.

One of the updates mentioned Linux Lite 4 series.

Updated,rebooted and then upgraded to Linux Lite 4.2.

A flawless upgrade.

This update was not available an hour ago....Just a question of waiting.

I did extensive testing pre-release, with no issues in the end.
Plus, I just tested on a laptop I have here with updates that were 46 days old! As you can see from the pictures, no problems upgrading. People on social media sites reporting smooth upgrading too.



Reboot.









At this stage, I'm putting it down to human input error at your end :)

Jerry- Thank you for returning the feature to install directly from the boot screen. An excellent feature that was in series one. Thank you.
All credit to you for that one.
