Automatic update

[lotech]

I can have automatic update the packages in background without asking on the last version, but I can't find such option in Gutsy, something changed ?

Re: Automatic update

I would highly recommend *against* automatically updating an alpha/beta release, since there will always be instances of new packages "cratering" systems.

When something breaks, you want to be well aware of exactly what you updated so that you can file the appropriate bugs. If you're not looking to test specific updates, you probably don't want to be on an unstable release.

Re: Automatic update

Well I am just little bit lazy and I found the latest update with Openoffice 'snapshot' 2.X doesn't work.

Re: Automatic update

Hi Lotech,
as in the openoffice is kaput thread, just apt-get install mozilla-openoffice.org openoffice.org-gnome openoffice.org-gtk openoffice.org-kde .
You only really need openoffice.org-gnome , though it beats me why this is so in Kubuntu gutsy, but it is.
Then openoffice fires up OK

Re: Automatic update

Yes that worked Elzorro thanks but I wonder why we have to do that manually, I assume the packaging system will handling all dependencies like the previous versions, and why Mozilla has something to do about that and I still want to know how to set up for automatic update.
