updating from gutsy beta

[snowdrift]

I have been using gutsy beta for a few weeks and installing updates using adept updater as they become available. Will this automatically update me to gutsy RC and to the upcoming final release; or do I need to reinstall a fresh copy of the final release? Thanks

P.S. Where do I find which version of Kubuntu is installed?

Re: updating from gutsy beta

As you update you should be current with the release.

This will give you your version.

lsb_release -a

Kernel version.

uname -r

Gutsy is officially released on Thursday, the 18th. You're pretty much running the final release right now.

I also have been using/updating the beta for the last month or so- at what point (now?) should I change my repository list to remove the pre-release category?

ps- gotta lubit :-) I spent don't-want-to-know how many hours fighting with the last two version upgrades. This time I went for the feisty-gutsy-beta route: right some slick, you ... as they say 'round here :-) No pain, tons 'o gain! Thanks and congrats to all involved

I also am running a fully up to date Gutsy beta but everytime I Fetch Updates in Adept it says that a distribution upgrade is available. Then when I run the upgrade tool it just closes half way through with no message.

I've tried running apt-get dist-upgrade, dpkg --configure -pending etc and they all seem to think that nothing needs to be done and no upgrade is available.

Any suggestions?

Re: updating from gutsy beta

I get the same "Version Upgrade" available from Adept, and following eriefisher's code advice this is returned:

malcolm@hippy:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:  Ubuntu 7.10
Release:    7.10
Codename:    gutsy
malcolm@hippy:~$ uname -r
2.6.22-14-generic

Following my last experience trying to Upgrade i think i'll just ignore the "Version Upgrade" button.
