Hello everyone -
I'm new to this list. I've searched the archives for an answer, but did not find one.
I have a fresh install of Jaunty that I would like to update to Ubuntu Studio. I was expecting to do a simple command line update like I have in the past, but the instructions seem to be more complicated for Jaunty:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation
For previous versions, the docs say to use the following command:
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video linux-rt
Is it not possible to do an upgrade this way with Jaunty or have the docs not been updated? The docs I'm looking at are here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation
Any info is greatly appreciated!

Hi, Natalia. Since you're new, you should also know that the etiquette on this list is to post on the bottom of the quoted text when replying, not on the top.
As for your question, it will work perfectly fine for you to just install the Ubuntu Studio metapackages: ubuntustudio-audio, ubuntustudio-audio-plugins, ubuntustudio-graphics and ubuntustudio-video. You should probably not install the ubuntustudio-desktop packages due to some conflicts with the regular Ubuntu desktop. This is why the instructions link you to the Ubuntu Studio Preparation page. That page is actually just a guide to installing most of the individual packages to be found in Ubuntu Studio, which essentially makes your machine like Ubuntu Studio, just without certain features (as the first line in the instructions indicates).
In the end, I'd recommend just downloading the metapackages, minus desktop, because this also updates certain config files (like /etc/security/limits.conf) for you.
