Vasudevan, yes, Mir is not yet default or active -- no worries your not
running it ;-)
The second is to re-iterate what phil said. Read about partial
upgrades.. Don't upgrade when you see them. Don't feel the need to
upgrade hour or everyday even as it's just going to cause heartache if
you upgrade a partial upgrade. Personally I upgrade something like 4-6
times a week, and I do so manually, making sure I don't get any funny
upgrades when I do.

Hi,
I'm not a ubuntu tester (I'm Lubuntu), so cannot answer about mir,
however I do suggest you look closely at what an update & upgrade is
planning to do as per the link on my earlier email [1]. If it is
*not* offering a partial upgrade then there may be a gremiln in the
works; if it *does* offer a partial upgrade, my advice is to refuse it
and try again some 12 hours later. However, at this early stage of
testing (in old language, we are still pre-alpha 2) things can get
out of sync for a few hours. If you are in doubt of what an upgrade is
proposing, ask on the #ubuntu-quality IRC channel.
Thank you for being a tester. Keep smiling and keep testing :)
Regards,
Phill.

Thanks, Nicholas and Phil.
I am not using virtualbox. I have two test environments - one is
saucy-daily-guest image in kvm. Other is a bare metal installation
running alongside my 12.10 main desktop on a different partition.
I was getting these errors when trying to refresh daily build
using apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.
Yesterday I was able to download latest good zsync (i think it is
friday's image) from a location with faster connection, burned and
reinstalled on my test partition.
So I am good to continue my tests for now. It will be a problem if
I get the same error after the next apt-get upgrade.
Another question in this regard - does the display engine switch
over to mir automatically after an apt-get upgrade? Or is it a
user initiated task?
Is there any command to show which graphics engine is currently
running?
Thanks

Following on from what Nicholas said, when upgrading a test
ISO, please be aware of possibility of the upgrade not being
fully sync'd and asking to remove things, more details can be
found at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343434

Vasudevan, this is in a virtualbox image right? And your
using the 64-bit daily saucy image? Can you give us
anymore details about your setup that might help? If your
encountering issues, you can workaround them a couple ways.
1) Use a non-unity desktop enviroment. If something in
unity is broken, use lxde, xfce, or something else in the
interim.
2) Stay on an older image and don't upgrade until your bug
is fixed. Make sure you file it, but if your using a vm,
you should be able to clone it so you have a working
machine that you can use and a spare test version to check
and track progress on the bug preventing you from upgrading.

Thanks, Phil; Tried update/upgrade again today and still
can not boot/log into 13.10 after upgrade. During
upgrade, saw a bunch of errors like these
"(gtk-update-icon-cache-3.0:5767): 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."
Than I reinstalled the older image from dvd and did an
update/upgrade;got the same errors.

Hi,
update & upgrade will indeed up date an installed
system, if you want to refresh your ISO for
installation then use zsync [1].

As a follow up, do we have to download new iso
and re install to reflect the change over from
unity to mir? Usually I apt-get upgrade to
refresh the daily image.
Thanks,

Unity shell is not launching after login screen.
Tried these steps and still not working -
unity --reset-icons -> got a message saying
that another widow manager is already running
on screen 0 and froze afterwards.
Tried to enable using ccsm and does not work.
Anyone else seeing similar issues?
