6.6 to 7.x Lite Upgrade failure - Upgrade Canceled

[robert1]

Hi Guys,

when I try to use lite-upgrade software to upgrade from Linux Lite 6.6 to 7 I get the following error message:

Code:

user@machine$> lite-upgrade-series7
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
chown: changing ownership of '/tmp/lite-upgrade.log': Operation not permitted

user@machine$>

When I try to execute the command as root, the output is similar:

Code:

root@machine$> lite-upgrade-series7
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
/usr/bin/lite-upgrade-series7: line 43: /tmp/lite-upgrade.log: Permission denied
/usr/bin/lite-upgrade-series7: line 41: /tmp/lite-upgrade.log: Permission denied
nothing
user@machine$> lite-upgrade-series7

And the following message appears when i try to install the updates using the GUI.

What can I do to update the OS without reinstalling?

Thanks in advance.
