[ SOLVED ] Can't upgrade to Linux Lite 4.4

[PCTECH]

Update, I was able to update LL 4.6 using the Lite Upgrade tool without any issues.

If the system is completely updated then updated version numbers is pointless as it is the same if on the same base number. You can check the /etc/issue file and /etc/lsb-release to see as that is what your system is using to report the version number.

I assume you have already done what I put in Post #9 ?

I originally install LL 4.0 from the USB key that I purchased from you. I installed system updates as needed without any issues. When LL 4.2 became available I was able to upgrade using the LL upgrade tool. I've installed all system updates as needed since then without issue. When I attempted to upgrade to LL 4.4 using the upgrade tool it reports that it cannot connect to the LL repository, update cancelled. I've  tried switching LL repositories with out luck. I don't seem to be having network issues of any type, but obviously the system is having issues locating the LL 4.4 source

Thanks

You could also try modifying some of the code.

In /usr/bin/lite-upgrade-series4 (right click, Open as Admin)
try changing line 237 from:

Code: [Select]

wget -qnv -t2 -T8 --ignore-length --max-redirect=1  --spider http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/db/version
to:

Code: [Select]

curl -sk repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/db/version
save and close the file. Try Upgrade again.

Please name the exact steps you are using to Upgrade. The upgrade tool itself has no bugs so logically it can only be some sort of network issue. We will find the answer.

@PCTECH ,


As noted in this thread by @TheDead , are you sure you are not running the beta version of Linux Lite 4.0?  Furthermore, it is confusing to say the original install was LL 4.0 but you're thinking about rolling back to 3.6.


Either way, you can download 4.4 from the website.  Verify the download by doing an md5 checksum, and booting to that version.  From there you can decide if you want to install it or not.

My original install on that computer was Linux Lite 4.0, which was purchased from LL itself on an OEM   USB key. I've still had no luck upgraded to LL 4.4. Maybe it's time to move on from LL to another distro on that computer or roll back to the LL 3x series.

@TheDead ,


That is an excellent guess.  I wouldn't be surprised if that was the reason.  It has never been my experience that Lite Upgrade was this hard.

[TheDead]

Just my two cents...

Could it be that this systems was installed with the beta of 4.2, which is not upgradable?

[Artim]

I meant upDATE and reboot before you upGRADE.  If that doesn't work, the simplest solution is to download 4.4 and install.

[PCTECH]

I've tried to the upgrade on several occasions  without success. Would attempting the upgrade by using the terminal be worth a try? If yes, what is the desired APT command?

The server may have been down or busy at the time.  First update your current 4.2, then reboot and try the Lite Upgrade tool again.  Let us know!

Hello

I'm currently running LL 4.2 on my Dell Latitude E6500. I have attempted to upgrade to LL 4.4 using the Lite Upgrade tool. I get an error that reports that the system cannot connect to the "master Linux Lite repository", upgrade has been canceled. Regular system updates download & install correctly and I'm not having any internet connectivity problems either. I tried changing LL repositories  without any effect. I was able to upgrade this system from LL 4.0 to 4.2 using the Lite upgrade tool.
Any suggestions welcomed.

Thanks
Mark
