Hello. Is it possible to "upgrade" an existing Ubuntu installation into an Ubuntu Studio installation utilizing a version of Ubuntu Studio that is on a DVD (Ubuntu-Studio 8.04.1 i386) ?
I have tried. When the DVD is loaded into the DVD drive, dvdrecorder opens a file browser with the following folders: dists doc install isolinux pics pool preseed ubuntu(which looks like a shortcut...there is a curved arrow coming off it) and: cdromupgrade md5sum.txt README.diskdefines An icon for Software Updates shows in the upper panel. When that is clicked, there is a window which states: "Cannot install all available updates"...Some updates require the removal of further software. Use the function "Mark All Upgrades" of the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" in a terminal to update your system completely. Below this is a list of all the updates that will be skipped. Closing this reveals a Software Update window: "You can install 290 updates", clicking OK brings up Downloading package files which is then covered by an Information window that says: "Please insert the disk labeled: Ubuntu-Studio 8.04.1_Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080701) in drive /cdrom/" Clicking OK justs brings up another one, etc. Placing the DVD in the cdrom drive doesn't read (afaik), and placing it in the dvdburner is likewise. This computer is currently not able to access the Internet so that is why I'm trying this install via disk. Any suggestions?
