You can install a VirtualBox "machine" to simulate this effectively. Yes, wait until the release is final and please take care to first backup data to off-line media (E.g. USB drive). Always, periodically, backup data to off-line devices. Sorry if I sound like a "mother hen".<br> <br> I personally use actual bare machines that I have because they are spare/available and wiping them out does not bother me. Also, there is value in performing upgrade testing on a bare machine as opposed to a VM (slightly different test sub-cases).<br> <br> Good luck,<br> <br> Richard<br> <br> <br> <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 04/09/2014 01:37 PM, Alejandro Méndez A. wrote:<br> </div> <blockquote cite="mid:CALfLu86QY8Fkr+DoN6W_hRC_WmTiweF-6p8=F3hi=PVrOn6VNg@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <div dir="ltr">Hi Richard, <div><br> </div> <div>I used the <span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">`update-manager -d' method. </span></div> <div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br> </font></div> <div><font face="arial, sans-serif">My hardware is a Samsung laptop i7, Ati graphics, 1TB HDD.</font></div> <div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br> </font></div> <div><font face="arial, sans-serif">I did it in this machine, is not a vbox image. </font></div> <div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br> </font></div> <div><font face="arial, sans-serif">There has to be something with the software I had installed or runnig.
