But you remember that Len once compared a release upgrade with a new install? Before upgrading consider to backup the install. -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Ralf Mardorf <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Muon Update Manager Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2014 01:03:00 +0200 Mailer: Evolution 3.12.7 On Sat, 2014-10-25 at 08:46 +1000, Phil wrote: > Thank you for reading this. > > I have Muon Update Manager's "Release upgrade" set to Normal Releases" > yet I'm not notified of the new release.

"Forcing" a relase upgrade could be done by command line: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/installing-upgrading.html Notification about what kind of upgrade ever are a silly custom. That makes people upgrade without at least reading the news of their distro's homepage, let alone that they never ever will read release notes. A notification "hello, here are upgrades" is insane, a self-responsible user is aware about needed upgrades and about things that need attention when doing an upgrade. Just upgrading, while there is a notification easily could end up disastrous. *buntu made a big step into the wrong direction with this Windows/iOS like approach. JFTR the Ubuntu Studio team compared release upgrades with installing a new release and *buntu rlease upgrades tend to cause issues, you better stay with your release or do a plain new install. -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
