First of all, generally it's not really a good idea to mix apt-get upgrades with OTA upgrades. The whole philosophy of OTA updates is that the core-components of the system are read-only and only updated by system-image during OTA. If you modify packages as in a normal Ubuntu system, well, there's no guarantee things will work after upgrading. As for channels. The vivid-proposed channel is no longer supported and should not be used. We dropped all series-specific channels some time ago. Currently it's a redirect to the ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed/ubuntu channel which is building out of wily images. The images there are very risky. > The situation is very confusing for now and maybe I'm not the only one > who is confused about the channels and updates.

First: as already mentioned, if you want to use OTA updates then don't enable any custom repositories, OTA's work separately from the standard apt-get operations. Second: enabling the overlay PPA won't do any good in a vivid-proposed channel as it's building wily images, while our stable phones are vivid based. > 2.

It's good to remember that a channel has nothing to do with a repository or series, those two are separate beings. > 3.

Those images, as already mentioned, are built from the vivid archive + the overlay PPA. We have a channel that's auto-building daily images from what's landing to those archives, it's the ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/bq-aquaris.en. We dropped the idea of per-series channels as Ubuntu Touch follows a different release model - more similar to a rolling release. It's best to reflash your image to the channel that you think is best suiting your needs. We generally recommend the stable channels, as all the -proposed ones can be broken without any notice. > Greetings, lgd > Cheers! -- Łukasz 'sil2100' Zemczak Foundations Team [email protected] www.canonical.com -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
