[00:17] <janat08> is there a button for making it to beta?
[00:19] <tsimonq2> janat08: what do you mean?
[00:19] <janat08> how to get on 16.10 beta
[00:20] <tsimonq2> janat08: what release are you currently running?
[00:20] <janat08> 16.04
[00:21] <tsimonq2> janat08: are you 100% sure you want to upgrade? there might be issues
[00:21] <janat08> is there no turning back?
[00:21] <janat08> hard reset
[00:21] <janat08> or something
[00:22] <tsimonq2> correct, no turning back unless you do a complete reinstall
[00:22] <teward> the only other way would be a complete disk image of the existing system
[00:22] <teward> so if it fubars you restore that entire disk image instead
[00:22] <tsimonq2> ^
[00:23] <teward> but that's a slow/evil/painful process and you'll need external media equal in size to the partition(s) on the disk/hard drive (basically, a 1TB hard drive on the computer needs 1TB external media, at most, for a full image)
[00:23] <teward> (esp. if Ubuntu is the only thing installed on the system)
[00:23] <janat08> right then
[00:23] <janat08> lol, ill just assume that running beta will fix a couple of things
[00:24] <janat08> \o/
[00:24] <janat08> that i may have screwed up, would do i run?
[00:24] <teward> janat08: i'd back up critical data first
[00:24] <janat08> to upgrade
[00:24] <janat08> its backed up
[00:24] <teward> stuff you don't want to lose at all
[00:28] <janat08> so what to do to go beta
[01:30] <janat08> how do i go to beta from 16.04
