It's very useful to have home partition with Debian based distros because the  
upgrade process it's a nightmare, so if you have home partition you don't  
need to upgrade your system, you can make a clean install preserving home  
partition and you will not lose any of your stuff in home partition.

You might need to be root. Try right-clicking the folder and selecting
"Open as administrator".

I'm afraid I don't have much to add. I haven't ever actually done the upgrade  
from 7->8.


The only thing further I might suggest is to say 'Yes' to the flidas entries,  
then run `apt-get update` followed by `apt-get dist-upgrade` and see if that  
gives some more output.


You would then need to change the `flidas` back to `belenos` in  
`/etc/apt/sources.list` if you need to grab any other belenos packages in  
future, though.

Hi Lynn,

Take a look in the file `/etc/apt/sources.list`...

If it already says 'flidas' on each line then try running `apt-get update &&  
apt-get dist-upgrade` in a terminal to see full error messages.


If it still says `belenos` on each line then try running `do-release-upgrade`  
in a terminal to see full error messages.

Well, it would be helpful to provide the entire output of the package manager  
and not just the ending message because that should show the *real* error.  
But also, Trisquel 7 is no longer supported so it may be necessary to  
reinstall.
