(solved) LinuxLite 2.4 64bit Thinks it's 2.2 after update - Won't boot

Yup Coatie. Something wrong with the 64 bit version. But at least I solved my problem.
After full installation and first boot I ran
sudo apt-get update.. then
sudo apt-get upgrade ... then
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

All sorts of stuff happened/downloaded/installed between the three.
Then just for luck I ran sudo grub-update

The shut down and rebooted.
It rebooted fine - except grub still calls it 2.2 and so does the System Information.

So I have a working version of a 64 bit Linux Lite. But I have no idea whether or not it is truly version 2.4

Bah!

Still greatfull and all that. After all - it is free and a lot of hard work put in on a voluntary basis by the developers. Which I appreciate cos it's a nice distro.

However, until this gets sorted out - I'm going to stick with Ubuntu for my main machine. Not least because it is UEFI and it seems a little odd that with so many new machines being UEFI booting the LL developers have not yet got to grips with this. Maybe version 2.5?

I think I won't call this 'solved' yet because I have no idea what version of LL I'm actually running from my usb stick.

Edit: I now see misko-2083 is on the case and has queried Jerry.

Good luck guys.

All the best...
