| isomari | greetings, just want to confirm that if I keep updating/upgrading my disco installation everyday as I've been doing, will it become the stable versionwhen it's released or will I have to do additional steps? | 11:14 |
|---|---|---|
| isomari | After my last update/upgrade I received this error after the kernel was updated: https://pastebin.com/1k1Sc4iB | 11:30 |
| isomari | How do I correct this? | 11:31 |
| lotuspsychje | !info linux-image-generic | 11:39 |
| ubottu | linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 5.0.0.11.12 (disco), package size 2 kB, installed size 15 kB | 11:39 |
| lotuspsychje | sounds like the wrong kernel your on isomari | 11:39 |
| lotuspsychje | !uptodate | isomari | 11:40 |
| ubottu | isomari: To ensure you have all the latest known patches and security updates for your ubuntu installation, please update with the following command: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`. See also !upgrades and !security; you may also need to run `apt full-upgrade`. | 11:40 |
| tomreyn | isomari: your kernel image is failing to be removed due to a syntax error in /etc/default/grub | 11:56 |
| tomreyn | you're welcome to paste the file to a pastebin. | 11:56 |
| tomreyn | about your first question, your installation will continue to get updates and be on par with a proper release in the end. it may, however, have some leftover files in the end you would not have on a fresh installation. and a fresh installation is always the better approach compared to running pre-release software (or upgrading from a pre-release installation). | 12:00 |
| tomreyn | i'm not a developer saying this, this is just my experience as a user. | 12:00 |
| isomari | sorry, was away for a bit. Thanks for the responses. | 12:26 |
| isomari | I found the bad line in my grub file. No more errors. Thanks guys. | 12:28 |
| isomari | btw, I have been updating with sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade. | 12:29 |
| isomari | apt full-upgrade does nothing. Everything is up to date. | 12:30 |
| isomari | tomreyn: I really would not want to eventually do a clean install. It would involve too many reinstallations of existing packages. | 12:31 |
| isomari | won't there be a way of cleaning up any residual unwanted packages after the final stable upgrade? | 12:32 |
| isomari | !upgrades | 12:35 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 12:35 |
| isomari | opps | 12:35 |
| tomreyn | isomari: how would "It would involve too many reinstallations of existing packages" be an issue? | 13:23 |
| tomreyn | you can just store the list of installed packages to a file, then restore it to your new installation. | 13:23 |
| isomari | tomreyn: Sorry I was away. I've been using Linux since 2000. Each time I have to clean install many days getting everything just right. It has never been as easy as you make it seem. However, since I starting upgrading, I've had no down time trying to reconfigure my system. | 17:31 |
| isomari | also, not all packages are install throught apt. | 17:32 |
| lotuspsychje | isomari: you updated from 18.10? | 17:32 |
| isomari | getting all my developement environment back is another hassle. | 17:33 |
| isomari | yes I updated | 17:33 |
| lotuspsychje | isomari: its reccomended before final, you help us testing with clean daily's | 17:34 |
| isomari | As fate wold have it, I plan on getting a new laptop so I may not have any choice. | 17:35 |
| lotuspsychje | isomari: alot of the volunteers on 19.04 help test on a VM too | 17:36 |
| lotuspsychje | its a quick way to help test bugs out | 17:36 |
| lordcirth__ | By the way, Hashicorp's Packer is really great at taking you from an ISO to a VM image automatically. | 17:37 |
| isomari | I've nbeen using disco for some time now and I've had no issues whatsoever. Except my network but that issue was before I upgrades. | 17:37 |
| isomari | I use my system for everything including my development for work. No Issues. | 17:38 |
| isomari | I update/upgrade everyday at least once. | 17:38 |
| lotuspsychje | isomari: you can do what you like with your systems mate, just saying we try to avoid having the developers get 'extra' unneeded work for example fishing out upgrade bugs | 17:38 |
| isomari | But usig it everyday I am testing. That's whay I'm telling you that I personally have had no issues. | 17:39 |
| isomari | bTW, when is stable due for release? | 17:58 |
| lordcirth__ | isomari, the 18th https://ubottu.com/y/dd | 18:00 |
| isomari | lordcirth__: thabks | 18:22 |
| isomari | thanks | 18:22 |
| tomreyn | isomari: Sorry I was away. Are you familiar with OS deployment solutions / frameworks then? I could imagine someone like you who wants to make sure they get exactly their preferred well defined state again to love it. | 20:02 |
| tomreyn | This said, with a 20y linux experience i'm sure you'll be finde with the early disco installation. | 20:03 |
