Linux Lite updater [lite-updates], upon clicking of the icon in the desktop menu, tells my computer is out of connection to the Internet and thus cannot proceed, which other programs verify untrue, as well as simultaneously I do get prompted about new updates available for the system.

Similar case with "Lite Software" centre. Once initiated, it prompts me for the password and having been provided with it, it tells me that my computer does not seem to be connected to the Internet and I may be unable to download and install applications. Nonetheless, right after okaying that box, the program proceeds directly to regular functioning, I have tested it installing the TeamViewer and it all went as normal, worked as expected, uninstalled as expected. Rather weird.

Code:
curl -sk google.com

Do you have any unique conditions in how you connect to the internet, eg. are you at work, do you go through any hardware firewalls, proxies, etc etc

Nothing bizarre to my recognition, wireless.

These updaters worked at first, I was using them, then they suddenly refused to cooperate on the basis of the same motiff.

Can you test with an ethernet cable?

It was not earlier until I have dismounted the router from a particularly quirky location that I realized my laptop does not have a broadband socket, which is actually weird. There is a telephone cable type socket and I tried some dilapidated telephone cable to use for connection with the router but it did not work. Hard to tell, dunno, but when it comes to my estimation, it could be that something is blocking these updaters.

The whole idea of the curl test, is to see if you can reach the Internet. This is what our software does. With the above command you can, it's the same command that is included in our software.

Either way I execute the following commands on regular basis:

Code:
sudo apt-get update

Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade

Code:
sudo apt-get autoremove

Therefore I believe the system should be updated. For the distro update function, the function present at the system settings tells my system is up to date.
