marcoglol, who set that?12:40
Kiloshi all ian has installed karmic as its the only cd he has there and did upgrade to lucid with update manager15:33
Kiloshow does he get it to upgrade to maverick from there via cli please15:34
zerefKilos: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade15:54
Kilosty zeref 15:54
Kiloswill that not just update lucid15:54
zerefwhy not just wait till 12.04 comes out15:54
Kiloshe needs a working ubuntu to be able to run boot-repair on other crashed drives15:55
Kiloshis has uncapped at work so it isnt a prob15:55
zerefso he's is going to 10.04 10.10 11.04 11.10 then 12.04 :P15:56
Kiloshe also doesnt have much time to fix things that dont work so wants to have a stable os to use and will then go 11.04 and 11.1015:56
Kilosthats right15:56
Kiloshe doesnt have time or cash to burn cds and start installing everytime so wants to go the upgrade route online15:57
zerefhmmmm16:04
Kilosbbl16:46

kbmonkeyI didnt realize it was the 13th Fri magespawn 18:11
kbmonkeyI'll be sure not to change any passwords today18:12
superflyKilos: if he's on 10.04, he can change all the instances of "maverick" to "precise" and then do a dist-upgrade... it's not really supported, but it should work18:12
magespawnApprently that is the best way to spend it unaware.18:12
superflyI like Friday the 13th18:12
Kilosah im sure he will do that once he has a few drives fixed superfly 18:13
Kiloshe has updated to maverick successfully18:13
