    7.04 feisty to 7.10 gutsy upgrade

    done.
    moved on to gutsy.

    some problems (but i guess it could have been a lot worse)...

    during the upgrade:

    only one, but pretty serious, issue during the upgrade.
    followed the suggested/official upgrade procedure via adept and upgrade tool.
    got to after downloading all the new packages.
    upon installation of "debconf", everything crashed.
    had to work with "dpkg" and "apt-get" to get me out of troubles.


    after the upgrade:

    1) xorg.conf untouched but external monitor not enabled anymore (nvidia-glx-new)
    had to use nvidia-settings to reconfigure the server.

    2) eclipse does not allow to edit java sources anymore (editor missing)
    had to uninstall eclipse and reinstall it, carefully selecting the necessary packages.

    3) "dolphin" was set as default file manager in feisty: now konqueror got set
    had to go in "file associations" and change them all over again.
    this is the only way i know.

    4) gtk apps not looking right anymore: "gtk styles and fonts" plugin missing
    had to re-install the "gtk-qt-engine" package.


    will update this in case i find anything else.

    Re: 7.04 feisty to 7.10 gutsy upgrade

    From the Kubuntu 7.10 announcement:

    "Dolphin is a KDE file manager, now the default file manager in Kubuntu 7.10, which allows quick navigation through the file system. Dolphin is not a replacement for Konqueror as Dolphin only acts as a file manager..."

    It sounds like that should be new with Gutsy, not with Fiesty. I'm running Fiesty now and don't see Dolphin anywhere. (I'll update to Gutsy as soon as Adept realizes there's a new version which I haven't been able to figure out how to get it to do.)

      sorry.
      didn't explain myself all that well.
      i had made dolphin the default file manager on feisty in place of konqueror.
      the upgrade procedure changed it back to konqueror.
      i agree this is funny.
      even more so, since dolphin is the default file manager on gutsy.
      this is what happened to me, though.
      i'm just reporting...
