Could you provide the actual logs? That way we can see the errors and look at fixing the problems instead of just issuing a warning to user. The next month and a half is devoted to fixing such problems. Thanks, Cody A.W.

These were extremely useful Results: Changing the /etc/apt/sources.list and running sudo apt-get update && <div class="Ih2E3d">sudo apt-get dist-upgrade </div>AND Using synaptic Failed miserably I was left with a completely broken system, with too many failures to bother naming. (This was not unexpected, since these methods are for release-to-release, not intended for such a drastic update) RECOMMENDATION: Add a very prominent note to the website for users and administrator to NOT use these methods Using the update-manager An up-to-date dapper install has update-manager installed As instructed, the -d switch was required (presumable will not be upon final release) Worked fairly well Required post-upgrade maintenace: sudo apt-get -f install to fix broken packages sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to get the updates that required the broken packages ****TURN OFF SCREENSAVER**** I had forgotten to do this one upgrade attempt, and ended up with a blue screen and a mouse pointer I was able to continue by switching to command line ([ctrl]+[alt]+[F1]) and running sudo dpkg --configure -a RECOMMENDATION: Include a strong warning about screensaver, and include a "if you have trouble" paragraph. Three lines from the command line will fix all issues I encountered (in order) sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get -f install <div class="Ih2E3d"> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade </div>I have not been able to successfully test the server upgrade instructions at this time, and I dont believe I will have the time, as I will be working on pinpointing a specific java/web browser issue (a topic for a different post) Thank you vidd <div class="Ih2E3d"> Kaspar Kööp wrote: > you should also check these links out: > > <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTSUpgradesHowto" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTSUpgradesHowto</a> > <a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/lts-upgrades" target="_blank">https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/lts-upgrades</a> > <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTSUpgrades" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTSUpgrades</a> > > k > > </div>> On 20/02/2008, *vidd* <<a href="mailto:vidd@crosslink.net">vidd@crosslink.net</a> <mailto:<a href="mailto:vidd@crosslink.net">vidd@crosslink.net</a>>> <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">> wrote: > > I am preparing to test the ability to upgrade from 6.06.2 directly to > hardy, without the incremental steps between. > > Dapper Install > I have no Dapper install disks handy, so I took a breezy install > disk and installed CLI-only > I edited the sources.list file to comment out the cd, enabled all > repo's, and replaced all instances of "breezy" with "dapper" > I upgraded from breezy to dapper via apt-get update and apt-get > dist-upgrade > I added xubuntu to the CLI-only with apt-get install > xubuntu-desktop > > Hardy Install -- phase one > Manually edit sources.list , replacing "dapper" with "hardy" > Upgrade via CLI with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get > dist-upgrade > Report any issues > *****should sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade be > tested > as well? > > Hardy Install -- phase two > Format and re-install per "Dapper Install" (see above) > Upgrade via upgrade tool (is this available to test yet?) > Report any issues > > Test system: > Pentium II 350 MHz > 384 MB Ram > 15 GB hard drive > > > -- > xubuntu-devel mailing list </div></div>> <a href="mailto:xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <mailto:<a href="mailto:xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a>> <div class="Ih2E3d">> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel</a> > > </div>-- <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">xubuntu-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> -- Cody A.W.
