Also, as for the website:
-
NOTICE: There have been some issues with upgrading to Xubuntu 6.10 from Xubuntu 6.06.
Please review available documentation below before attempting an upgrade.
Click here for instructions.
At the moment, it is not recommend to use this method, as there seem to be problems with it.
The method of apt-get dist-upgrade is still safe for those who are familiar with it, the issue is only with the update-manager. Please note that you do not need ubuntu-desktop, but xubuntu-desktop.
That does not look like saying it is safe to upgrade to me.On 11/8/06, Jelle de Jong

Hello,
I thought to day was a good day to migrate form dapper to edgy, because
the nice updates in edgy are not available for dapper. And I wanted to
do some debugging for edgy.
I am a pretty advanced user of linux and have a lot of program's and
scripts installed.
I first tried edgy on my vmware system and it did work. so i give it a
try. I made a dd image for backup if things went wrong.
I want to command line mode so i killed gdm en x
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get disk-upgrade
Then I configured the apt-get sources for edgy.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get disk-upgrade
Here we went. Downloaded a lot of stuff > 1GB and started installing
I noticed that I recieved a lot of errors of these:
"perl: warning please check local settings"
I think this had to do with the fact that te program that sets the local
settings was not run yet. later when the this program was run the
warnings disappear. So someone could fix this "bug" by first setting
local language settings for upgrading.
Then it happens the apt-get gives a error and quits
the error was in this package:
anjunta-2.0.2-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
when I retried sudo apt-get disk-upgrade it advised me to run apt-get -f
install so I did and it when on. after that i did a apt-get disk-upgrade
again and it when further.
I got a warnings that there is something wrong with font gs.defoma line
108. someone could check that.
When apt-get tried to restart mysql after upgrading something it hangs i
waited 15 minutes and tryied some key combinations but the pc was dead.
I restarted the pc and the default kernel was broken and did not start.
I tried another kernel and got it to run single mode with lot of errors.
I restarted the apt-get disk-upgrade command
I got a error again and apt-get exits it was a error in the
gtk-engines-eazel.
I concluded that this was not working. and wanted to restore my backup
so i tried a dd to restore my image (dd image is stored on another
partion) but after a while the system was hanging again and I had to
restart.
Now grub was totally down it gives me a error 16 code and does nothing.
I had not get burned a xubuntu 6.10 cd for a total clean install so i
had to go to another pc and burn a alternate disk.
When I tried to load the kernel on the 6.10 alternate cd I got error:
apci kernel panic - not syncing.
I can remember this is the same error I got when I tried the a self
compiled kernel, the newest from kernel.org. There is a bug somewhere
with the new kernels and the via epia en12000 hardware.
I did not get tried to start the kernel with options like pci=noacpi and
acpi=off. I will do that another time.
So far edgy experiences are very bad. Could some one please remove the
fact from the xubuntu.org website that a dapper to edgy upgrade will go
fine and give only advice for fresh installs.
I have spend a half a day for this and don't feel for making bug reports
other than this somebody other than me has to do that.
Hope edgy will improve in the future or do I have to wait 6 months for
the next release? Keep up the good work btw.
Best regards,
Jelle
