Software sources not updated in upgrade

[madhusker]

I noticed that in the upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 that my software sources are still all the same. Do these have to be manually updated? And if so what are the new sources?

Re: Software sources not updated in upgrade

The sources.list should have been 'replaced' as part of the upgrade, assuming you performed the upgrade correctly. Kubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 Upgrade contains the procedure (I followed it, and upgraded without any problems). That said, this is what my sources.list (now) looks like:

I'm in the U.S., and the list reflects that accordingly. You can replace yours with this (if you are in the U.S., or are using U.S. repositories), and if your in another country, you can replace each occurrence of us.archive with xx.archive where xx is your country code.
