Hello Joseph, When we perform upgrade testing, we don't mean upgrading from Ubuntu Studio 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) Beta 1 to Beta 2, we mean upgrading from Ubuntu Studio 13.04 to Ubuntu Studio 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) Beta 2...
Still, good to know though:) Regards, Howard Chan (smartboyhw) Ubuntu Studio Release Manager 2013/9/24 Joseph Ronne <[email protected]> > upgrade of beta1 to beta 2 worked fine > > Dell Dimension 9100 Intel pentium R dual 2.8GHz 4G mem > Gforce 6800/PCIe/SS2 > > > On Tue, Sep 24, 2013 at 7:00 AM, < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> Send ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list submissions to >> [email protected] >> >> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit >> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel >> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to >> [email protected] >> >> You can reach the person managing the list at >> [email protected] >> >> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific >> than "Re: Contents of ubuntu-studio-devel digest..." >> >> >> Today's Topics: >> >> 1. 13.10 tests - upgrade(image) (Len Ovens) >> 2.
