Release Announcement
Linux Lite 4.4 Final is now available for download and installation.
This release has a number of minor changes.
![[Image: 20ls3IX.png]](https://i.imgur.com/20ls3IX.png)
Changes:
Moved from Betas to RC releases. The RC releases Build number is the date of the actual ISO build eg. Build 24022019 - 24th February 2019. The RC information and Build number will only appear on the default wallpaper for that release, Login screen and the Live Boot screen. The positioning of the text is such that it allows room for desktop widgets like Conky and Lite Widget to appear uncluttered on the right. Finals will not have any build information on the default wallpaper.
RC Build wallpaper:

Updated the Papirus icon theme to the latest release.
Sound Juicer CD ripper has now been added to Lite Software. To get rip-to-mp3 support, Sound Juicer will also install the Restricted Extras package.
![[Image: z0PYlQ9.png]](https://i.imgur.com/z0PYlQ9.png)
![[Image: zOwXW28.png]](https://i.imgur.com/zOwXW28.png)
Volume level - the double level volume bug has been eliminated.
Removed all references to Google+ as that service is due to close down on April 2nd 2019.
We have moved from Sourceforge distributed servers to OSDN as OSDN will help to finance our project. Their systems and mirror choices are virtually similar.
Details:
Kernel: 4.15.0-45 (custom kernels also available via our Repository for versions 3.13 - 5.0)
Firefox: 65.0 Quantum
Thunderbird: 60.4.0
LibreOffice: 6.0.7.3
VLC: 3.0.4
Gimp: 2.10.8
Base: 18.04.2
Known Issues:
None as yet.
Please note:
RC1 was a solid release where no hiccups were reported. As such, this 4.4 Final is basically the RC1 with only the wallpaper changed. Therefore, if you have 4.4 RC1 installed but want the Final, RC1 IS the Final. One caveat, since there were no updates to the build from RC1 to Final, your first updates will be a big one.
Upgrading
> Menu, Favorites, Install Updates (you must reboot if asked to, otherwise continue to the next step)
> Set a Restore Point - Menu, System, Timeshift
> Menu, Settings, Lite Upgrade
> Reboot
Having problems upgrading? First thing to do is open a terminal, and make sure you have the latest version of Lite Upgrade.
Code: apt policy lite-upgrade-series4
should return:
Code: Installed: 4.0-0030-linuxlite
Candidate: 4.0-0030-linuxlite
If you've ran Install Updates and still don't have this version or greater you can either - wait 24 hours, or change to the default Linux Lite repository in Lite Sources.
Lite Upgrade - What it will do:
- New Lite Software
- New Lite Welcome
- New Lite Help Manual
- New Lite Themes
- New Lite Upgrade
- New Wallpapers
Lite Upgrade - What it won't do:
- Nothing to list.
There is no upgrade path to or from Beta or RC releases.

I have two identical external LaCie drives.
When they are both plugged in (at the same time), only one "LaCie" is listed. I guess I need to rename them "LaCie1" and "LaCie2" to avoid this, but would appreciate if someone could advise on how to do it. I went to Menu Disks but couldn't find anything there to help.I'm unsure of the command line for this too.
All help much appreciated, as ever
Mike

| Frequent Updates=Extraordinary Stability? |

I am struck by how many updates Linux Lite has. Compared to the Ubuntu flavors, for example. but then I realized how incredibly stable this operating system is, more-so than any other I have used. Which is why it is the only Linux that I have never removed from my system. It just keeps working smoothly. So, are the frequent updates the reason? In the past, I have tended to stick with LTS versions of Mint, Ubuntu etc. The updates are less frequent, compared to Lite. Does this make Lite a rolling release? Just some thoughts going through my mind. Another is that this OS is very underrated. Anyone else have that thought? Just curious.

Folks lately, some of you including those that have been around for a very long time are side stepping the first port of call in seeking support for some Software issues.
I'm going to sticky this post and remind people of the steps to take. From the Help Manual, Start page:
![[Image: RIYQkf1.png]](https://i.imgur.com/RIYQkf1.png)
This excerpt has been in the Help Manual since day one.
This is how it all works.
If you are having any trouble with the Software Linux Lite produces like Lite Software, Lite Tweaks etc then please, post here on the Forums in the first instance. We are the developers of Lite Tweaks. We are obliged to support it. Just like Firefox or VLC are obliged to support users of their software.
If you are having any trouble with any other Software including XFCE and the programs available for install in Lite Software you should be contacting the developers directly via their respective Support channels. Can you imagine to date, how many bugs, fixes Companies/Organizations have missed out on fixing/seeing because people here have posted on these Forums and nowhere else? We're talking about crashes, bugs, general questions etc. Those communities deserve to see your information before anyone else.
If you have posted in a Support section and you are not directly seeking support for a piece of software, your thread will most likely be moved to a non Support section of the Forums like On Topic.
I (Jerry) don't do personal Support requests, sorry. It's actually better if you post on the main Forums in the appropriate section where everyone has a chance to respond.
I'll add to this from time to time should people require more specifics.
Cheers,
Jerry

| Staring to have intermittent problems with "send" in Thunderbird |

LL 3.6 64 bit 4GB RAM
Been using Thunderbird for mail for 6years+ on Windows and now LL since 2014. been very reliable - updated etc. via LL updates.
Now and again started to get the following come up when sending emails.
"Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent Items) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent Items-xxx@yyyy.eu.
Your message has been sent and saved, but there was an error while running message filters on it"
Copies of emails fail to appear in sent folder for that email address although I press yes to save if that message comes up on screen.
Also if I use browser to view sent emails (webmail) the corresponding email fails to appear, BUT recipients tell me they have received them???
I have checked both Thunderbird and my ISP and separate Mail host and have no filters set on any of them - blanks
Seems to happen if I have attachments to emails (Few MB) such as pdfs or jpgs.
Running SOPHOS in background - Not aware that there are filters there that could be interfering- would not know where to look. No SOPHOS warnings in log
Stared BCC emails to a back up gmail account just to be sure.
The trouble is that this does not happen all the time, just now and again. I have checked capacity on my email host server and I am about 60% of my allowable capacity.
Hope the above makes sense. Ideas / check routine welcomed.
