UPDATE: Making some good progress here lately, I've been able to push through some tricky problems. The update script for now will be split into 2 files, the system upgrade and the home upgrade, so initially there will be 2 files to run. This may change in time, we'll see. Taking this approach for now has at least allowed me to make greater progress, more quickly.

Ive tested the system upgrade file and it works well. The home upgrade file is being tested and is approaching completion.

Thanks for the update...
Great news... Dave

Thank You Jerry for the update info, and work that is going in to the update scripts.

Thanx for the update Jerry .

The upgrade process is now ready for release. Let me state that this has only been tested on a fresh install of Linux Lite 2.0, not on an existing machine.

Disclaimer:
This is provided as beta quality. The upgrader backs up any files that it changes so things can be restored if needed. If you have more than 1 LL 2.0 machine, do this on one to start with and assess the results. You should also do a full system back up before proceeding. Systemback or Timeshift as have been previously discussed in these Forums is advised.

There are 2 files. lite-upgrade, this is run first and upgrades your system files to Linux Lite 2.2 and home-upgrade, this updates your home folder as well.

Let's go.

1.) Open a terminal and do:

Code:

touch home-upgrade lite-upgrade

2.) Open home-upgrade with your text editor and fill with the following contents:

Save and close.

4.) With your terminal still open do:

Code:

sudo cp lite-upgrade /usr/bin  && sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/lite-upgrade

5.) Click on Menu, in the run box type in: gksudo lite-upgrade and follow the onscreen instructions.

When that process is complete and you have rebooted, go to your home folder and double click on home-upgrade to complete the upgrade.

If there is more than one user on your computer, you need to run the home-upgrade installer for each user. No need to run lite-upgrade for each user.

Looking forward to see how this goes.

Hello Jerry,

Congratulations on the release of the update script.
Thank you for all the work on the upgrade process.

I will be following the update script tutorial this week, on my usual LL install (not a fresh install), and will reply on how it goes.

[banko]

Misko and Jerry,

Just letting you know, I've upgraded my old netbook, using your script, without any problem at all

I had installed LL 2.0 early Dec and did not have much on it, only things not important, so I just went for it ( no problem if I messed it up).

It took about 45 mins to do it all, including reboot.

Everything was there as it was before upgrade.

So far, more than impressed and very grateful.

So a massive thanks to you both

Keith

Hello!

I've got several here that I haven't bother to upgrade because I didn't think 2.2 was significant enough of an upgrade to have to reinstall EVERYTHING on EVERY machine here. I guess I'll make a pretty good guinea pig, because between all the different machines, I have a mix of programs. Right now, the problem is finding the time.

I am working on three different websites. Two are for non-profit organizations. I have found that BlueGriffon is the best WYSIWYG HTML editor out there, regardless of platform. Kompozer just doesn't display web sites nearly as well.

If anyone else out there is using one that's better, lets us know. But PLEASE, start another thread, for Jerry's sake.

I've made a New Year's resolution to not drift off-topic. I plan to keep it...

Hello Jerry and misko,

the upgrade went smoothly, it took 19 minutes to complete, including checking for updates after completion.
All is working correctly with zero errors after upgrade.
