Hi Jerry,
I like Linux Lite *A LOT*, having installed version 5.0 in July 2020 on my HP Stream x360 Convertible Netbook, which only has 32 GB of SSD, and was useless with Windows 10! Linux Lite v 5.0 gave it a new lease of life; I guess you hear that all the time.
HOWEVER, updating LL has become a big problem for me, since Kernel 5.4.0.45-generic was issued, because it caused the computer to COMPLETELY disregard its built-in keyboard; - I can attach a keyboard via USB, but that destroys the idea of a netbook, doesn't it!
I taught myself to cope with this, with the help of someone else with a similar problem on the forum, by reverting the latest kernels that got installed back to 5.4.0.42 (or before; - my Timeshift restore point has 5.4.0.40, which also works). That 'coping' process seems to have prevented the installation of later kernels in routine updates, which I have been doing regularly, which is sort of OK, but a bit worrying in the long-run)...
However, sometime in November a routine update caused the Netbook to fail to recognize its Wifi adapter, which I'm sure you will agree is a bit terminal for a netbook, with NO wired internet port!!! When I restored the netbook to working state I found that the WiFi hardware is 'Intel Wireless 7265', which uses 'iwlwifi' driver, but that was completely absent after the update that killed the Wifi. Incidentally, I'm pretty sure that update also killed the Bluetooth adaptor AND the sensors on the Netbook :-(
My only solution was to revert to that 5.4.0.40 Timeshift Restore point, which I made back in July. That gets the computer working, which is great, but it almost immediately wants me to install updates, and when I did that, I then end up back with NO WiFi (etc) AND no keyboard either. So I seem to be stuck in a loop where I can only live in the past with Linux Lite :-(
The reason I am posting here is because I *hoped* that a full update to v 5.2 might fix all these problems, so I created a live USB install drive with v5.2 and booted the netbook from that. Result; - WiFi was working, but there was no keyboard, so I couldn't enter my network password. So GOTO previous paragraph, and repeat FOREVER! :-(
...I would be grateful for any ideas on how to progress this. Even if I have to stay on the v5.4.0.40 kernel from back in July. But if I do that, how can I get updates to applications (which I presume are necessary for security reasons, as well as feature updates), without automatically getting kernel updates and whatever else kills the netbook?

Hello liunx-liters, I installed 5.0 on old laptop, and want to live upgrade to 5.2, the problem is both "lite upgrade" menu and "sudo apt dist-upgrade" can't upgrade OS to 5.2.
I've tried both GUI and terminal way many times, the "lite upgrade" menu always report "computer not connected to internet", and "sudo apt dist-upgrade" always report " 0 upgraded .. 0 not upgraded."
Is it geolocation (ip and apt package list mirror) problem?
If that's the cause, how to work around to upgrade live to 5.2 instead of using 5.2 installation media?

P.S. I remember I changed software repo to local (China PR), but not the main one which is
deb http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/ emerald main
in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxlite.list.

I just tried "ping linuxliteos.com", ended up 33.3333% packet loss, and one of taiwan mirror had some packet loss too when pinged last week.

Thank you, @firenice03

I'm sure it's the stable version. I know where I downloaded it and it's also the one I use in my laptop (that I upgraded to 5.2 without problems).

Also, I have already updated LL5.0. Not only using Lite Updates, but with
Code: [Select]
apt update and
Code: [Select]
apt-get update, as well upgraded with
Code: [Select]
apt upgrade and
Code: [Select]
apt-get upgrade.

Maybe you know any other way to try it.

Edit: The problem was solved. The issue here was that the LL repository is down, but Jerry pointed it to one of the mirrors and now everything is good. My machine is now LL5.2.

@zaov
You sure this stick is not the BETA/Test version of LL5.0?
Beta's do not have the option to upgrade.

Also, you will want to Update LL5.0 (Lite Updates) then try to Upgrade to LL5.2 (Lite Upgrade)....

LL4.8 UEFI 64 bit ASUS E402W - AMD E2 (Quad) 1.5Ghz  - 4GB - AMD Mullins Radeon R2
LL5.8 UEFI 64 bit Test UEFI Kangaroo (Mobile Desktop) - Atom X5-Z8500 1.44Ghz - 2GB - Intel HD Graphics
LL4.8 64 bit HP 6005- AMD Phenom II X2 - 8GB - AMD/ATI RS880 (HD4200)
LL3.8 32 bit Dell Inspiron Mini - Atom N270 1.6Ghz - 1GB - Intel Mobile 945GSE Express  -- Shelved

Hello again.

So, I have this little problem:

I upgraded LL today from 4.8 to 5.0 (I didn't do directly to 5.2 because I already had my bootable stick with 5.0) in my desktop computer, and now, trying to upgrade to 5.2, Linux lite Upgrade Utility aborts.

Here's what it shows:

I have to say that trying to get it I switched the repository mirror and had no effect.

I have stable internet conection.

Please follow all of the instructions in the release announcement regarding upgrading. Cheers.

My apologies, in my excitement to upgrade to 5.2 I misunderstood the "If your'e missing Lite Upgrade..." instructions for if it's missing AFTER the upgrade.  D'Oh!

Now that I'm actually paying attention, everything is working as expected.  Thanks for your patience with my impatience!  :-D

Hmm...  I'm on 5.0 and am fully updated, but for some reason am not finding Lite Upgrade anywhere in my menu (visual or search).  Is there a way to upgrade "manually"?

Hey Jerry,

When does the Lite Upgrade from 5.0 to 5.2 begin?  I keep doing updates but the Lite Upgrade link in the menu has not appeared yet. 

Thanks.
The full instructions are in the Announcement. Thanks.
