On a laptop, I haven't encountered any problems apart from a few minor things, such as a weird question about screenlocker and some problems with bluetooth that were probably also a problem in 22.04. On login ‘problems detected’ but #dmesg suggests it's fine. So far happy with it. I hope there will be more responses as I also need to upgrade a system running systemd networkd.
I have upgraded my desktop but not my laptop.The switch to mostly snaps could be smoother, and I still need to play with the system more to discover all the changes.
Disabling all non-ubuntu PPA meant I had to reinstall handbrake and darktable.
Reenabling the PPAs with updated info for Noble (in place of Jammy) did not work. I had to remove and then download the PPA keys again. Then I could reinstall handbrake and darktable. The PPAs are courtesy of ubuntuhandbook.org -- a lovely resource.
The PPA for Vivaldi, tied to installation of the deb, has also been removed manually, so I may not get updates anymore until I download a newer deb and then install that newer deb via sudo apt install ./vivaldi . . . .deb
Veracrypt needed to be removed and then re-installed with a version just for 24.04
Thunderbird took a very long time (several minutes) to start up on first run.
Insync, though the same version for 22.04 and 24.04, apparently needed to be reinstalled for it to run again under 24.04. Prior to re-installation, insync prevented thunar and xfdesktop from running/displaying the desktop. Quitting insync and then installing the deb fixed the problem. Though I do not have an active PPA for insync anymore with the switch to 24.04. That problem will need to be addressed.
Strangely, I also had to reinstall pdftk and xsane. Why? Cryptomator kept chugging along without issues.I have already seen that the PulseAudio plugin in the panel is non-functional. Running pavucontrol from terminal, however, still works. I have not had the time to tackle the problem with the plugin/panel at the moment.
I have been running Xubuntu since 2011. This jump to 24.04 should have been easier than it turned out.
Yes, there were many screens about changed config files. Those are normal for me through the years. What has changed is that re-enabling PPAs with updated info no longer works.
One plus is that the major changes with the panel in 22.04 (which redid the plugin scheme for the panel) was much easier to manage this time around with 24.04. The only problem so far, as noted above, has been the PulseAudio plugin.
