| ievans3024 | if the last three upgrades have required me to do a fresh install to fix all the things that broke in the transition, is there any reason for me to believe that dist-upgrade would not fail this time? | 19:59 |
|---|---|---|
| valorie | hmmm, what broke before? | 20:09 |
| valorie | I haven't upgraded this laptop yet, since I'm flying with it tomorrow | 20:10 |
| valorie | but my netbook upgrade was smooth and easy | 20:10 |
| valorie | no problems | 20:10 |
| valorie | that hasn't always been true, for sure | 20:10 |
| ievans3024 | well, typically when I next turn on the computer, kde does not load correctly, if at all | 20:55 |
| ievans3024 | some things work, but others don't | 20:55 |
| ievans3024 | like some horrible shambling monster from an experiment gone wrong | 20:55 |
| ievans3024 | kind of like 'from beyond' if you've ever seen that | 20:55 |
| ievans3024 | it always seems to be random to me | 20:56 |
| ievans3024 | but maybe there's a pattern i haven't been able to discern yet | 20:56 |
| bkerensa | My new laptop runs Unity like a beast | 20:56 |
| bkerensa | its a i5 core | 20:56 |
| bkerensa | :D | 20:56 |
| ievans3024 | don't know what unity is but my phenom ii x4 performs very well | 20:57 |
| ievans3024 | while we're here, let's get out the rulers =P | 20:58 |
| valorie | how does a live CD/DVD/USB work for you, ievans3024? | 21:02 |
| valorie | I did quite a bit of testing this release, and everything but Kmail seems trouble free | 21:02 |
| valorie | and for lots of people, Kmail is good too | 21:03 |
| ievans3024 | see that's the weird part, live cds always work just fine | 21:03 |
| ievans3024 | as do fresh installs | 21:03 |
| ievans3024 | it's the upgrade via kpackagekit or apt-get dist-upgrade that break | 21:03 |
| valorie | I think I used do-release-upgrade | 21:06 |
| valorie | since I was using the beta for testing | 21:06 |
| valorie | I will NOT use kpk | 21:06 |
| valorie | never again | 21:06 |
| valorie | that effs things up for me All The Time | 21:06 |
| valorie | and you know we aren't using it anymore in 11.10 | 21:07 |
| valorie | by default | 21:07 |
| valorie | Muon is default, and there is a replacement for kpackagekit called Apper | 21:07 |
| ievans3024 | so apt-get do-release-upgrade? | 21:28 |
| valorie | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OneiricUpgrades for the whole procedure | 21:41 |
