Upgrade to fiesty

[OU812]

Hello. I read a review a fluxbuntu where the author was able to update from dapper to edgy by editing /etc/apt/sources.list. Basically, he changed "dapper" to "edgy," reloaded, and upgraded. He described one hiccup and how he got over it. Can this be done to upgrade from edgy to fiesty? Thanks.

Re: Upgrade to fiesty

that shoould work, as long as you are going from edgy to feisty... if you are using dapper, you need to upgrade to edgy first...

the comands, afetr you have modified your /etc/apt/sources.list would be:

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude dist-upgrade

Re: Upgrade to fiesty

Or

1. Change edgy -> feisty in the /etc/apt/sources.list

2. Update package lists

:~$ sudo apt-get update

3. Check what would happen if..

:~$ sudo apt-get -s -u dist-upgrade

-s, --simulate, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon, --no-act
No action; perform a simulation of events that would occur but
do not actually change the system. Configuration Item:
APT::Get::Simulate.

-u, --show-upgraded
Show upgraded packages; Print out a list of all packages that
are to be upgraded. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Show-Upgraded.

4. Upgrade

:~$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Note.
I tried upgrade from dapper to feisty. Everything went ok but don't try this with your one and only version of kubuntu. More at

Re: Upgrade to fiesty

Or

From FeistyUpgrades (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades)

Network upgrade for Kubuntu desktops (recommended)

You can easily upgrade over the network with the following procedure.

1.

Open the Adept Manager by going to KMenu -> System -> Adept Manager (Manage Packages).
2.

In Adept -> Manage Repositories enable edgy-updates (or feisty-updates "Recommended Updates" if you are already on feisty)
3.

If you are using the Edgy KDE 3.5.6 repository, also add deb [WWW] http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-356-pre-feisty-upgrade/ edgy main
4.

If your system is up to date, the upgrade wizard will be offered it via the Version Upgrade button. Otherwise:
1.

Press the Full Upgrade button.
2.

Press the Apply Changes button.
3.

Once the packages are installed, exit the Adept Manager (Adept -> Quit).
4.

Repeat the initial steps (1-4).
