Kilosmorning spinza 06:37
spinzamorning k06:37
spinzaso you were saying I'm safe going from 13.04 -> 13.10.  backup home directory and upgrade?06:39
Kilosyeah i think so, then once installed do apt-get update and apt-get upgrade06:40
Kilosyou know terminal use hey?06:40
spinzayes06:40
Kiloscool, use sudo with both commands06:41
kbmonkeymorning spinza 06:41
spinzaso will that keep all services installed and settings etc?06:41
kbmonkeyis the pro not in yet kilos06:41
spinzamorning kbmonkey06:41
Kilossaterday he makes it late this avy or evening kbmonkey 06:42
Kilosit should spinza 06:42
spinzai once upgraded ubuntu but it turned out it wiped everything in terms of apps installed and settings06:42
spinzahad to reinstall everything06:42
spinzacan't remember from what to what it was though06:42
Kilosyou might need to install some of the software you use again06:43
kbmonkeyoh noes06:43
kbmonkeydoes ubuntu really do that Kilos ? remove apps?06:43
Kilosbut the settings such as mail accounts and so stay06:43
spinzawhich software?06:43
Kilosinstalled apps06:43
spinzaare they uninstalled?06:44
Kiloslike gimp and so on06:44
Kilosask superfly 06:44
kbmonkeyI dont believe that 06:44
Kiloshi superfly  does upgrading lose installed apps06:44
kbmonkeyoh, no the fly said if you use dist-upgrade it can remove packages if their dependencies fall away06:45
Kilosi always clean install then just rsync home backup to /home06:45
Kiloswait spinza 06:45
superflyno, not unless the repository has mismatching packages06:45
kbmonkeyhe then said you should use do-release-upgrade instead06:45
Kilostype in dash deja06:45
Kilosor backup06:45
Kilosthat keeps everything working06:46
Kilosblack square box06:46
superflyI've upgraded kubuntu years in a row without issue. just use do-release-upgrade06:46
spinzasuperfly so I should just run the upgrade from the terminal and I should keep apps+settings?06:47
superflyyes06:47
Kilosty superfly 06:48
kbmonkeythanks fly :]06:48
spinzathanks kbmonkey kilos & superfly06:48
Kilos:-)06:48
superflyif you get one of those popups about upgrading to a new release you can use that too06:48
Kilosyw spinza 06:48
Kilosoh ya update manager does that06:48
kbmonkeyyup06:49
superflyit's a gui version of the command line06:49
Kiloswe so lucky to have the fly as backup06:49
spinzai do get those but haven't been keen to click it06:49
spinzahave to keep upgrading till i get to a lts again then i'm going to stick with it i think06:49
superflyI moved to Debian unstable06:50
kbmonkeyhow is it superfly ?06:50
superflystable06:50
spinzalol06:50
kbmonkeyfigures :]06:50
Kiloslol06:51
kbmonkeystable and unstable refers to the frequency the packages change, not system stability ;)06:51
superflyunstable is a little older than Ubuntu but it has been tested more and so far been a better experience06:52
Kilosoh my06:52
superflyalso unstable is a rolling distro06:53
superflyso I am always upgrading06:53
Kilossuperfly, when you got time to play just look ate 13.10 kde06:54
Kilosi love it06:54
kbmonkeyIm thinking to switch to a rolling release. does it use more bandwidth superfly, from the continuous updates, or is it not much more than normal?06:54
Kilosyou get them with your OS kbmonkey ?06:55
Kilosfly uses kde remember06:55
kbmonkeyits just a Debian base, yes I can switch to sid06:56
Kilossid?06:56
superflyunstable is called sid06:56
