[Bug 1279762] Re: upgrade to 14.04 from 13.10 or 12.04 failed - cinnamon fails to upgrade
Well, I seemed to have worked out my solution to getting around this issue. It was a couple more hours than I expected, and I had to clean up a broken package or two, but everything seems to be working now. Could some of the ideas below be used to fix this bug? #1 Do steps 2, 3, and 4 of this article. (Step 1 isn't necessary, because I am already at 13.10; I decided that Step 5 wasn't necessary either). http://alankeister.wordpress.com/2014/01/03/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-to- mint-mate-16-petra-desktop/ #2 Go to this stack overflow article, and follow this guide. http://superuser.com/questions/755574/terminal-command-to-upgrade-from- linux-mint-16-to-linux-mint-17 Especially: $ sudo sed -i 's/saucy/trusty/' /etc/apt/sources.list $ sudo sed -i 's/petra/qiana/' /etc/apt/sources.list $ sudo sed -i 's/saucy/trusty/' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official- package-repositories.list $ sudo sed -i 's/petra/qiana/' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package- repositories.list Use sed to replace references to saucy with trusty, and petra with qiana in the sources (If you don't have /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package- repositories.list, as I didn't, then you can do the sed stuff just in /etc/apt/sources.list) $ sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade $ sudo apt-get upgrade Update the repositories with the new settings and run a dist-upgrade to upgrade to the new version cleanly, then run upgrade to make sure all the packages are updated. This took me three hours to run, but the result appears to be a nice version of Ubuntu 14.04 (with a few bits of Linux Mint stuff added in). While installing, there were lots of messages of the form: GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache': No such file or directory This likely means that your installation is broken. Try running the command gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache But these messages seem to be more cosmetic (and correspond to an existing bug): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdk-pixbuf/+bug/1282294 #3 There will be a few minor packages that may be broken at the end of #2; for example, mate-polkit was broken on mine. So without rebooting, I uninstalled and reinstalled them after #2 was completed. The irony is that Cinnamon ended up broken at the end of the installation process. On the other hand, I was able to get 14.04 on my machine without installing Cinnamon. Once I found that I couldn't log into Cinnamon, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it to fix it straight away. So for me, it was 13.10 - lengthy 3 hours installation - 2 minute uninstall and reinstall of Cinnamon. For some reason, I felt this gave me a better change of preserving my settings than 13.10 - uninstall Cinnamon - lengthy 3 hour installation - reinstall Cinnamon (and possibly losing settings). Other drawback of this process: now I don't have Unity. But then I never used it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1279762 Title: upgrade to 14.04 from 13.10 or 12.04 failed - cinnamon fails to upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cinnamon/+bug/1279762/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1279762] Re: upgrade to 14.04 from 13.10 or 12.04 failed - cinnamon fails to upgrade
Since my last message was not clear, let me try again. I'm on 13.10 (with cinnamon installed), and tried spook's suggestion of logging into Ubuntu, and tried to upgrade to 14.04. No luck. Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. This can be caused by: * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu This is the same error message as when upgrading on Cinnamon.

And I'm a Cinnamon user stuck on Ubuntu 13.10 that has been thinking of jumping ship to Linux Mint over this issue. It is not yet too late for myself, but seriously, Ubuntu team: there should be no issues that prevent people upgrading to a LTS release. Can we have a patch to the 13.10-14.04 upgrade process that doesn't require me to uninstall Cinnamon and then reinstall it again?

[Bug 559153] [NEW] Unicode directory names are represented using escape characters in the Location bar of Trash.
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus In the main Trash window (trash:///), directories are listed with their proper name, even if they contain Unicode. For example, a directory called Иосиф Виссарионович Сталин [*] - dragged to the trash - would be listed as Иосиф Виссарионович Сталин. That is good and proper. The problem is when you click in the directory in Trash. Now you see something like the following in the location control: trash:///%D0%98%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%84%20%D0%92%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87%20%D0%A1%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD The correct behavior should be something like trash:///Иосиф Виссарионович Сталин/ . Nautilus is a file browser - not a web browser. [*] Stalin, as throwing him in the Trash wouldn't have been a bad idea.

[Bug 556283] [NEW] System Monitor represents NTFS filesystems as fuseblk.
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor My machine has two NTFS partitions. System Monitor lists both of them in a table under the File Systems tab of System Monitor. That's good. However, under the Type column, both are listed as fuseblk. Otherwise, there are no problems interacting with the partitions. This issue may be cosmetic, but it would be more user friendly to list NTFS file systems as Type ntfs rather than as Type fuseblk, even if fuseblk is just how an ntfs partition is reported via the mount command.
