Gutsy Upgrade Instructions Wrong

[jvance]

Well, at least for me they are.

The instructions say to open Adept Manager, click on Manage Repositories, and get this dialog box:

http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/kubuntu.../snapshot2.png

Nope - not there. Instead, I get a list of repositories. I have attached a window capture. The "Full Upgrade" button is grayed out, and I see no way to follow steps 2 - 5 in the upgrade instructions:

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Gutsy Upgrade Instructions Wrong

What version are you trying to upgrade from?? The upgrade instructions you are following are for Feisty Kubuntu to Gutsy, yes?

[jvance]

Re: Gutsy Upgrade Instructions Wrong

From Feisty Kubuntu to Gutsy, yes. Adept Manager Version 2.1 Cruiser.

Re: Gutsy Upgrade Instructions Wrong

Then you should be able to do as the instructions say. When you have Adept Manager open and you click on Adept | Manage Repositories and click on the Updates tab you don't see the following:

Re: Gutsy Upgrade Instructions Wrong

That is correct - I do not see the dialog box you attached. Instead, I see the list of repositories in the window capture that I attached in this thread's root comment.

I suppose one workaround might be if someone would post the URLs for the pre-release and recommended updates repositories and I could just add them in manually. However, I'm curious as to why adept manager isn't behaving as expected. It might have been helpful if there were documentation for adept-manager.

Re: Gutsy Upgrade Instructions Wrong

That's very intriguing, as the snapshot you posted appears to be what Adept Manager running under Edgy (6.10) would show.

Re: Gutsy Upgrade Instructions Wrong

Could I have borked adept's configuration somehow? I recall that I manually added medibuntu and beryl repositories shortly after I installed Feisty (clean install - never installed Edgy). I tried replacing sources.list with an unmodified version, but that didn't help

To move forward, I think I just need someone to post their sources.list file with recommended and pre-release repositories added in.

Thanks.

I have seem a similar behavior in machines upgraded from older versions to feisty.

Maybe if adept can't fully understand the sources.lst file, it defaults to the old interface?.

Re: Gutsy Upgrade Instructions Wrong

It's also possible you have missed the necessary package when moving from edgy to feisty (possible if 'kubuntu-desktop' was not installed)

Check that package 'software-properties-kde' is installed.

Feisty was my first kubuntu distro. Prior to that I was running SuSE 10.1 (on a different hard drive) , until they sold out to Satan.

Check that package 'software-properties-kde' is installed.

HA! Sorted! A trillion quatloos to you, good sir!

Re: Gutsy Upgrade Instructions Wrong

What How did SuSE sell out to Satan? (I've never heard that before :P)

That little cross-licensing deal Novell signed with Microsoft.

Pardon me while I add some keywords and a summary here. This thread may be useful for a few people over the next 48 hours

gutsy feisty Kubuntu RC upgrade dialog menu missing manage repositories recommended pre-release.

Problem:

On step 2 of the Kubuntu GutsyUpgrade instructions, clicking on Manage Repositories does NOT open a dialog box. Instead, you see a listing of repositories in the same window.

Solution:

Make sure that the package 'software-properties-kde' is installed.

As an aside, I've seen instructions for installing third party packages under Feisty that show the repository window instead of a dialog box, so I don't think this is an isolated incident.

Thank you everyone for your patience, courtesy and help.

Ugh! I didn't know they signed a deal with the devil You know what they say, "The friend of my enemy is my enemy" (or something to that effect ).
