Newbie Help

Hello all!

Been using various distributions of Linux on and off for the past two years. Finally given up on the WinD'ohs! experiment and chosen to go with Linux full time.

As I mentioned before, I've tried various other distributions and have decided that I like the Kubuntu variant the best.

I do have a question however..

I've been having trouble with the Adept manager, and I've seen that I am not alone with it hanging and giving errors when upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10. how do I do a version upgrade through Konsole? I've figured out how to do updates, but not a version upgrade.

Many thanks in advance!

Re: Newbie Help

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

or use aptitude instead of apt-get
make sure to google them commands to get more info

something like this

 sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Manual upgrade

Piece of advise, if you really dont like Adept try Synaptic. Adept still has a fair share of problems.

Thanks guys!

Your help solved the problem!

I've since been converting a fair number of Winders users to Kubuntu!

Many thanks again!
