| Sean-F | I attempted to update from 15.04 to 18.04 and the update application disappeared | 01:13 |
|---|---|---|
| Sean-F | How do I get that app back? | 01:13 |
| arraybolt3[m] | Sean-F: Like, you're updating from Kubuntu 15.04 to 18.04? | 01:13 |
| arraybolt3[m] | That will be one tricky upgrade. You should back up ALL of your data before progressing any further, and it will probably be fastest to just do a clean install of Kubuntu 22.04, the latest supported version. (Kubuntu 18.04 is EOL and unsupported, though Ubuntu 18.04 is still supported for another year.) | 01:14 |
| Sean-F | Seems to have been successful, if you don't count the missing update app | 01:14 |
| arraybolt3[m] | By "the update application", do you mean Discover? | 01:15 |
| arraybolt3[m] | If so, "sudo apt install discover" should do the trick. | 01:15 |
| Sean-F | Discover is still there, there was a separate app for updates | 01:15 |
| oerheks | there is no easy way to update such old kubuntu.. fresh install is the best way | 01:17 |
| arraybolt3[m] | I don't recall a separate updater app existing in Kubuntu. | 01:17 |
| arraybolt3[m] | Discover handles installing system updates. Upgrades should be handled with do-release-upgrade. | 01:17 |
| arraybolt3[m] | So it's probably something that's different between 15.04 and 18.04. | 01:17 |
| Sean-F | It has been years since I touched this laptop, | 01:18 |
| oerheks | +1 .. but 15.04 > 15.10 > 16.04 ( also eol ) .. no | 01:18 |
| oerheks | fresh install, and you are back in 20 minutes | 01:18 |
| arraybolt3[m] | oerheks: He already did the upgrade. | 01:19 |
| arraybolt3[m] | He's just wondering where the updater went - it's probably gone since Discover handles that functionality now. | 01:19 |
| oerheks | oh sorry | 01:19 |
| Sean-F | ok, it's not like there's anything that I have saved away on this laptop | 01:20 |
| arraybolt3[m] | Sean-F: It's recommended that you back up your data and do one more upgrade step from 18.04 to 20.04 so that you're using an actively supported version of Kubuntu... but if you can't backup I'd just be happy with what you've got and worry about the last upgrade step once you've backed up. | 01:20 |
| * arraybolt3[m] has to go afk | 01:20 | |
| Sean-F | alright I will just do a fresh install | 01:21 |
| Sean-F | Thanks | 01:21 |
| Sean-F | What is systemd-shim, and why can't it be removed when updating/upgrading? | 01:30 |
