Hi mahjongg, I wish that my claim wasn't possible. However, I must admit to a couple of things:
1) I added some Ubuntu URLs to my sources list. Here is a summary of the content of sources.list.distUpgrade which I assume was a backed up version of sources.list before the upgrade was performed. # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04.1 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080702.1)]/ hardy main restricted # See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to # newer versions of the distribution. deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates universe deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy multiverse deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates multiverse # deb-src http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy partner # deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy partner deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security universe deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security multiverse deb mirror://www.getdeb.net/playdeb-mirror/hardy/// hardy/ deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/googlegadgets/ubuntu hardy main 2) I exlusively used Synaptic to update my system because it offered more packages. Maybe it's true that gOS 3.0's Update Manager would never offer to upgrade distro but I haven't used it for ages. I hope this might explain few things but I can assure this really happened to me, otherwise I would not waste my time writing this in the first place. Thank you for your advice on setting up HOME on a separate partition. I was not worried about losing documents but I was more concerned of having to again set up and install all non-default software that I added for my work. Now I understand there is no choice and I'll have to pay somewhere for my missadventure. I'll stick with gOS because I like it a lot and everything just worked on my Dell Vostro laptop. Best regards, choban P.S. This upgrade actually doesn't look too bad, after all. WBar doesn't launch any applications and the top bar theme changed as well as GDM but everything else seems to work. The gOS team should have no trouble at all upgrading to the latest Ubuntu. Since the latest Ubuntu is not an LTS distro, maybe gOS team could release a beta based on non- LTS code so that fans can choose. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gOS Linux" group.
