Feisty Upgrade
Created on 14th March 2007 09:38 PM.
Granted about 4 of that was waiting for the updates to come down the (what turns out is a pretty slow) pipe. I had a few issues, but nothing major given distro upgrade to a pre-beta release.
- Removed know troublesome packages (beryl, for instance)
- Removed all non-ubuntu sources from /etc/apt/sources.list and ran sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade (while still in edgy)
- Changed /etc/apt/sources.list - s/edgy/feisty/g
- sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
- Ran into first gotcha - tor seemed to have issues which halted the upgrade - ran it again and it continued fine (tor still giving me issues now though)
- Continued running dist-upgrade until no more issues
- Some issues
- Compiz seems to load up without window decorators - turn it off and on again and it's fine.
- Changed to using the shiny new bcm43xx wireless driver for my broadcom wireless card - was in edgy but a little flaky (seems better so far)
- tor package still broken, as is cups (most likely these will be fixed it due course)
- Listen froze up on me once - trying rhythmbox now since I like the avant-window-manager cover art plugin
I'll post if there are any other issues I come across, but all in all, I like it so far!
