Topic: Upgrade to 9.04?

hi,

it is possible to update to 9.04 without any risk? or could it be that nothing is working after upgrade per "update-manager -d"?
(live-cd and installation on this notebook (other HD) works perfectly)

greets from germany,
rootbox

(i know beta = unstable wink )

Re: Upgrade to 9.04?

For #!, it would be unsafe to upgrade to 9.04 at the moment. #! includes a few custom packages which (to my knowledge) haven't been built for 9.04 yet.

If you want to risk it, update your sources.list and replace "intrepid" with "jaunty", apt-get update, then do a "aptitude upgrade". Aptitude has alot more error handling / dependency resolution than just apt-get.

Re: Upgrade to 9.04?

Yes, it absolutely 100% is risky. Jaunty is beta software and hasn't been released yet.

That being said, I've been happy with my 9.04 upgrade. I did it like this:

sudo apt-get install update-manager
sudo update-manager -d

I have my Jaunty install on a separate partition as a dual boot, so if anything goes wrong, I can easily boot into a usable system.

Re: Upgrade to 9.04?

I've just updated to 9.04 from #! 8.10 and everything seems OK. I've got a faster boot, but older kernel still (I am using cruncheee so I guess their kernel needs updating) There's no usplash and the new notifications don't seem to work but apart from that all is well.

Re: Upgrade to 9.04?

I upgraded a little while ago but the notifications stopped working for me too about a week ago, not sure whats up with them. Usplash is working for me though.

I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say lets evolve, let the chips fall where they may.
