Flawless upgrades to 13.04

Even Dedoimedo is impressed !

Yeah, for a moment I worried that he'd actually follow through with his desires to perform display fellatio, and post the photos! I'm glad he resisted the temptation, strong as it obviously was.

I just upgraded my wife's laptop from 12.04 to 13.04. The only thing wrong I notice is it still tells me to do "do-release-upgrade" to upgrade, even though I'm running 13.04 there.

Welcome to Ubuntu 13.04 (GNU/Linux 3.8.0-21-generic x86_64)

 * Documentation:  https://help.ubuntu.com/

New release '13.04' available.

Here's the fix:

sudo rm /var/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/release-upgrade-available
sudo /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/release-upgrade-motd

What? The "bug" is left-over crud? Sigh.

Someone forgot to take out the trash.

I have had to fix two things (so far):

1. To prevent the X server freezing I have had to set OpenGL grahics to "Native" (was "Render").
2. To get desktop indexing working again I have had to delete the akonadi transaction file for each user.

I just successfully upgraded a my quantal VirtualBox guest to raring. It did take some time, but I didn't have to fix a thing.
A big thumbs up for that!
