Re: [Dorset] WTH?
Hi Sean, On the point of effectively cloning an Ubuntu or Debian instance in terms of the installed packages after a clean install, I have used this method in the past: - run the command 'dpkg âget-selections ./selectionfile' on the machine to be cloned - when the base install has finished on the other machine copy the âselectionfileâ across to it (or stash it in your /home partition) - update the repositories according to your requirements and then run the command 'dpkg âset-selections ./selectionfile apt-get dselect-upgrade' on the new build I was going to suggest something similar. It may be possible in theory for the above to try and install a package that has deliberately been dropped between releases, or has been superceded by something that conflicts, I'm not sure. A variation is to get a sorted list of installed packages before upgrading, aptitude search -F %p '~i' | sort before and again after, and then investigate the ones that were installed before but not after to see whether they should be installed again. comm -23 before after Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Crown Hotel, Blandford Forum, Tuesday 2010-11-02 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue

Re: [Dorset] WTH?
Terry - my Netbook version specified a network connection in the install dialogue. It automatically hacked the B43 and I had nothing to do once I pulled the Ethernet out. Also - the xorg.conf hack works again and I have an external monitor port. The problem with the upgrade install seems to have been conflicting files. This is turning out to be a really sweet little number. Going to have to buy £30 worth of memory for my netbook though, to give it headroom for imaging apps. That is the ONLY negative I now have.

There's also netpbm to do the image composition, but I think it would take more steps. The transparency mask would be extracted to a PGM and then used, e.g. with pnmcomp(1).
