The usual upgrade doesn't work. It doesn't find my proxy settings that I use everyday for command-line apt-get. Again, that works well, behind the proxy. But updating to 10.10 through the System Settings->Software Management->Software Update does not work. I can repeatedly do it, even with a restart, and get some error 253, saying it cannot connect to the Internet. If I do 'sudo apt-get' on the command line, everything is fine. Aside from this being a bug, I now wonder how to upgrade to 10.10 without going through System Settings??

Re: How to upgrade to Maverick on the command line??
Assuming you're upgrading from Lucid, update /etc/apt/sources.list like this -
sudo sed 's/lucid/maverick/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
then
sudo apt-get update
then
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
we see things not as they are, but as we are.

Re: How to upgrade to Maverick on the command line??
Ah, the good old Debian way that I used 10 years ago is still working. I didn't think so, didn't want to damage anything. I'll report back when everything is done.
I guess, I don't need to file yet-another-bug-report about the miserable proxy-settings in KDE? Just searching the existing ones shows a dozen, and none has ever been fixed. Oh well, the beauty of Free Software: instead of whining, fix it yourself ... .

(K)ubuntu has a "do-release-upgrade" CLI tool which works pretty well.Comment
