So as I did with past UEFI tests:  same set up/hardware as previous actually
Kangaroo is UEFI only (no legacy) SecureBoot = Enabled
Dual boot with Win10; LL4.2 installed to external MMC (SD) card.

I created a USB (in Windows) from a separate system via Win32disk and the LL4.2_64bit UEFI ISO.. I booted the USB with secureboot enabled and into the Live Environment.
I checked disks, removed old LL3.x partitions all together.

Started the Install from desktop - using the newly creates partition.
All options were "default" with the exception of "Something Else" (didn't download updates nor 3rd party) - English locales and skipped the connection to WiFI (wifi only for this device).
I installed the the boot manager to mmcblk1, the same where LL is installed.

Install was simple, straightforward and quick as usual.
After Install = Checked for updates which inform I'm up to date.

Code:

uname -r
       4.15.0-38-generic
cat /etc/llver
       Linux Lite 4.2

Need to go through my usual tweaks for this system (wifi stability) I'll poke around more, check boot process time - haven't removed the VBOX stuff but 1st boot didn't seem out of the norm...
*Update I have since removed VBox - is faster .. ~30sec boot time.

There may have been an error on boot about "failed mem for rom" that blinked up on the splash but I'll update after a reboot (I started this post)..
*Update yes "Failed to allocate mem for rom" - briefly

So far so good and yet another good looking rendition!!!

I'll post/update if you want or need any screenshots or output let me know

Bug found. /etc/apt/sources.list. folder is missing all the 3rd party repo including LL and other files. Will look into it.

Fix attached, those that are using this UEFI build NEED this archive.

1. Open /etc/apt as root
2. Copy apt.zip to /etc/apt
3. Double click on apt.zip and extract, overwrite all when prompted.

I've re-upped and tested a new ISO online. Original post updated.

Hello,

Just to bring my very little contribution...

I downloaded LL 4.2 UEFI 64-bit on USB key and try it today on the new PC (Win10) of my son, and it's working fine !

I didn't try to install on the HDD as my son is using Win10 for his job.

Probably why it kept saying I was up-to-date ..
I can run the above and test... And if you like I can re-install with new ISO..
