Hi,<br>
<br>
I upgraded to yakkety the wrong (not recommended) way. This is
always how I've installed dev versions of ubuntu. Real simple (for
the demented like me), but easy to screw up if you're not paying
close attention to the /etc/apt files and 'sudo apt-get update'
output. Use a text editor with a line counter.<br>
<br>
1) I found out that yakkety was available by checking the
canonical-kernel-team page on sourceforge (by accident). <br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://launchpad.net/%7Ecanonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa">https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa</a>
<br>
<br>
2) Go to /etc/apt. Copy, rename copy, and back up sources.list.
Move the backup copy onto reliable media because it's a pain to
reconstruct old versions. <br>
<br>
3) See what you've got in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d. You'll see
a list of data files for the ppa's you already run.<br>
<br>
4) Back up the *.list files. They may already be under
*.list.save, but I always make up backups.<br>
<br>
------> 4a) make a new directory off of /etc/apt I call it
'sources-list-d-not-needed'. sudo mv all your broken, old, and
spare sources.list.d files here. Tarball and backup the files. You
never know when you'll need them later or can fix/merge broken
ones. <br>
<br>
5) If a ppa website says that it explicitly supports yakkety, you're
probably okay with the ppa signature you have now. If not, you'll
have to run the new signature with 'add-apt-repository' and generate
new source.list.d files. <br>
<br>
6) Go to sources.list and change over from 'xenial' to 'yakkety'<br>
<br>
-------> **6a)** _Warning_/_Achtung_/_<span class="Latn
headword">advertissement</span>_/_cavete_! Like the old Montana
daytime speed limit, "reasonable and prudent". Change the essential
deb files (updates, backports) first and see what happens. Change
ppa's and unsupported debs one by one and test using 'sudo apt-get
update'. If you get line errors in sources.list and sources.list.d
entries, you'll have to go back and make sure you have the files
synched correctly. Back up sources.list as you go along. Keep a
sharp eye on the 'sudo apt-get update' results. This is a great
time to listen to decimalization-era British folk-rock, bad New
Wave, or whatever calms you down.<br>
<br>
7) Once 'sudo apt-get update' is running well, reboot. After the
boot, update, issue command for new kernel (sudo apt-get
linux-generic linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic), watch the
repository packages trickle by, etc. 'uname -r' will tell you if
you're at kernel 4.6.x<br>
<br>

<br>
Or, you could be smart and just do it Kev's way. Be smart. Unlike
me. Seriously, I never thought to use an iso. ::headpalm::<br>

<div>So, do you install the current release, stick in the ppa

<div>sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

<div>is it release-upgrade?<br>

Install dev release - available from the iso tracker.<br>
<br>
Update and upgrade<br>
<br>
Add ppa's as normal.<br>
<br>
Update and dist-upgrade.<br>
<br>
If you then need help with the dev release - don't use the normal
support area's, that's for released and supported versions.
(There's the +1 forum at ubuntu forums, ubuntu+1 on freenode, our
dev channel<br>
<br>
Most of the information you'll need is at <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://docs.xubuntu.org/contributors/"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://docs.xubuntu.org/contributors/">http://docs.xubuntu.org/contributors/</a></a>

(Use the canonical kernel ppa if you wish - don't ask us for help
though ;) )<br>
