Linux Lite 2.4 Final Released

[banko]

Hi and a BIG thanks to all.

Did the Lite upgrade on my netbook (32 bit) and everything thing seems fine, (including Light Locker).

Did a full install on my laptop, because I required 64 bit, again, so far, seems fine, except Light Locker, same problem as previous poster.
If previous poster starts a new thread, I will post there.

Very happy and again a big thanks for all the time and effort.

Anybody tried upgrading from 2.0 to 2.4? Any problems? Any advantages?

Not sure if i want to move to 2.4 since everything is perfect in 2.0. Seems to only be some GUI on Linux Lite apps other than screen saver in 2.4  which I don't use anyway.

Like Jerry has sad before if it ain't broke don't fix it.  8)

Congrats, great job.
Used the upgrade but got an error at the end that the welcome screen couldnt start..but guess that is because i have it disabled in autostart.
Also downloaded the iso file.

Like TMG1961 I had disabled the welcome screen and got an error box at the end of an upgrade: "There was an error while (new line) Seting lite-welcome to autostart on first boot!" Closing this offered reboot - done. Noted Grub still showed LL 2.2. Started OK. Desktop looks OK. System information says LL 2.4. File types which previously failed to load by double clicking on NAS file listing now load OK. Various packages previously added run OK. So all-in-all, great! Far better than a manual re-install. Thanks.

I updated packages and installed lite-upgrade-series2. I also did update and upgrade after that. I am having problem wuth the lite-upgrade-series2 tool. The "Lite Upgrade" item throws an error message, seems like it tries to back /etc/skel without sudo. What's the command line equivalent of the upgrade process?

Just upgraded one of my systems from LL2.0 to LL2.4
Upgrade process run without any issues.
So far no problems running the system. Didn't do a lot of testing yet though.
Advantages? The improvements have been listed before. But at the end it depends what you're using the system for, doesn't it?

Code:

lite-upgrade-series2

I tried that, and it does fail without a sudo. Is it supposed to be "sudo lite-upgrade-series2"?

Seems there was an oversight in the 64bit, llver is reporting as 2.2
The quick fix is:

Code:

sudo sed -i "s/Linux Lite 2.*/Linux Lite 2.4/g" /etc/llver
