Can't test LinuxLite 7.6 in a virtual machine
#11
For in series upgrade from 7.4 to 7.6, your google AI result is wrong, see this thread for how to do it.

Is the 7.4 VM fully updated before trying the in-series upgrade ?
If not, it will not know about 7.6 and will claim to be already on the latest.

Hi Stevef, you're right! Just tried the version update another time after an heavy 7.4 update (one hundred of packets) and the 7.4 now is a 7.6 complete!
Yeahhhh, I'm so happy Smile
Therefore, the latest updates in 7.4 contains the utilities to do a version upgrade, right?
Well, I'll do all the crimes I know to the O.S. to test the behavior Smile
Thank you for your patience. Bye  Wink

Yes
When a new Linux Lite release is made, all existing versions (in the same series) get notified as part of the regular round of updates. After this flag has been set, the in-series upgrade becomes possible. If you didn't update your 7.4 system, it could not know that 7.6 is out so in-series upgrade is not available.

We still don't know what is wrong with your VM install of the 7.6 iso.
As I don't know anything about VM, I'm probably not able to help on that.

No problem, I'll do all tests I need on the VM running right now, after this I'll install the LL 7.6 on a "physical machine" and finally, If all go right, install on my king computer.  Smile Have I to modify the subject as [SOLVED]? (I don't always frequent forums... and I need an English course. TY)

FYI! I also CANNOT get the installer to work using 7.6.iso. However, 7.4.iso does work correctly!

Hi Stellartk, as @stevef (do this mode work, yes? Thank you anyway) said, try to install LL 7.4, update the machine heavvly and finally do the update to the 7.6 version. This worked for me. Now I have some problems with the icons and the translation, but it's a lower problem. HTH. Bye, Lost  Wink
