Can't upgrade to Linux Lite 4.4

[PCTECH]

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

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!

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?

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

Just my two cents...

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

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.

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. ???

As noted in this thread by [member=6733]TheDead[/member] , 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.

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.

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:

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

to:

Code:

curl -sk repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/db/version

save and close the file. Try Upgrade again.
