| opensynth | howdy all. Im having some trouble upgrading my system. hopfully someone can help. Here is a snapshot of my issue | 02:49 |
|---|---|---|
| opensynth | me@me-MacBookPro:~$ apt list --upgradeable Listing... Done abgate/lucid 1:1.1.7-1kxstudio1 amd64 [upgradable from: 1.1.9-1] eq10q/trusty 2:2.0.0-1kxstudio1 amd64 [upgradable from: 2.2~repack0-2] patchage/trusty 1:1.0.1+svn5733-1kxstudio1 amd64 [upgradable from: 1.0.0~dfsg0-0.2] vocproc/lucid 1:0.2-3kxstudio1 amd64 [upgradable from: 0.2.1-2] me@me-MacBookPro:~$ sudo apt upgrade [sudo] password for me: Reading package lists... | 02:49 |
| opensynth | sorry that didnt format correctly | 02:50 |
| opensynth | i have 4 upgradeable packages that wont upgrade | 02:51 |
| opensynth | these 4 packages are preventing me from distro-upgrade to 18.10 | 02:51 |
| opensynth | sudo apt upgrade, sudo apt full-upgrade, and sudo apt --only-upgrade install *kxstudio1* all fail to upgrade the 4 packages | 02:55 |
| OvenWerks | I would ask Falktx the maintainer of kxstudio. | 03:08 |
| OvenWerks | I see lucid listed there. I think it was just after that that the DE was changed from Gnome2 to xfce (both gnome3 and unity where too unstable for audio work) | 03:12 |
| OvenWerks | Anyway, the upgrade path from gnome2 Studio to xfce Studio was to re-install rather than upgrade. | 03:13 |
| opensynth | thanks for the reply ovenwerks. I would prefer to do a fresh install but the machine I'm attempting to upgrade has a defective gpu and requires modifying boot options in grub to disable the gpu. I need to modify the string "gfxpayload=keep " idont think I cant do this with the ubuntustudio installer without modifying and rebuliding the installer itself. My intuition was that an upgrade path would be more simple | 03:32 |
| opensynth | additionally I am currently on studio 18.04 with the default desktop. i think it's xfce. | 03:37 |
| opensynth | but I did install ubuntustudio from the standard ubuntu gnome desktop | 03:38 |
| opensynth | because the ubuntu installer allows me to modify grub | 03:38 |
| OvenWerks | My mistake, I was just seeing lucid and trusty in the part you pasted confued me. | 03:39 |
| OvenWerks | That should not be a problem | 03:39 |
| OvenWerks | I have installed Studio on top of just about everything out there from KDE to all the gnome based to lubuntu | 03:40 |
| OvenWerks | However, I don't us any of the KX packages. | 03:40 |
| OvenWerks | (except for a self built Carla) | 03:40 |
| opensynth | do you know if 18.04 can upgrade to 18.10 without the kx repos? if so I'll just disable them. | 03:43 |
| cfhowlett | Easy enough to test: edit apt/sources to ## comment out the kx repos. run apt update then run do-release-upgrade | 03:44 |
| opensynth | looks like disableing those repos is gonna work. thanks for the help. | 03:58 |
| cfhowlett | happy2help! after you get the upgrade, re-enable the kx stuff and all should be well. | 03:59 |
| OvenWerks | opensynth: in 18.10 ubuntustudio-controls does a lot of what Cadence does | 03:59 |
| OvenWerks | -controls also allows using more than one audio IF at a time | 04:00 |
| OvenWerks | for example using a USB mic to record and playing back through the on board IF | 04:00 |
| cfhowlett | !ping | 05:01 |
| ubottu | pong! | 05:01 |
