Doesn't look too good for me :-\ but I'm still on -109
How do I get -111
I already ran updates

Similar results as others Variant #1- Not vulnerable, Variant #2-vulnerable, Variant #3-not vulnerable. This is on a new (for me) computer. Only computer that I have with an AMD processor. Good & simple way to check. Will check again after next kernel update.

Just have to wait for your local repo to push updates. Or you could try another repo.
Hi everyone,
I've been trying to follow this thread, with gratitude for the knowledgeable work being done by you all. Thanks.
What I have done is to Install Updates at least once a day, and keep my LL system as up-to-date as possible. Here is a copy of (some of) my system info
-Version-
Kernel : Linux 4.4.0-111-generic (x86_64)
Compiled : #134-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 15 14:53:09 UTC 2018
C Library : Unknown
Default C Compiler : GNU C Compiler version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.5)
Distribution : Linux Lite 3.6
I am hoping (aren't we all!) that LL will be patched enough to continue safe browsing - subject of course to staying off sites of unknown security as usual.
I run a Win 7 laptop also, very similar i5 specs, for work, cad programmes. I don't go online much with that Win 7 laptop, (and haven't at all in the past week I think) using my LL for almost all my browsing, email etc. So my plan is to stay off-line completely on the Windows 7 laptop until it's known to be "safe" out there! Or should I chance "Windows updates"?
I do have a netbook with an Atom processor - did someone say the Atom is not affected?
A simple spectre-meltdown-checker for Windows systems that deals with the registry key permissions. You must have up to date AV that allows the regkey flag.

Exactly the results that I got too on my laptop when I checked it this morning. I haven't looked at my main machine yet.
A huge Thank You to [member=2]Jerry[/member] for making this user-friendly script to get and run the checker. I honestly don't think I would have bothered checking for vulnerabilities if it wasn't for Jerry's script. This was so easy to install and use. I just downloaded from GitHub, then right click on package and go "extract here", then go in folder and mark both scripts as executable and double-click on the "start" script. Then it opens up a window and runs and gives the results. It was so fast and uncomplicated.
