Version Upgrade Problems

[woodnotoil]

My attempts to use Adept to upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04 kept quiting at the install package step. So I found some directions on how to upgrade from command line but once I started it turns out the directions were for upgrading servers. I ran sudo apt-get install update-manager-core and now my system settings options are all strange. Here are my questions now:

1. How do I undo what happened when I ran sudo apt-get install update-manager-core?

2. Assuming the above gets fixed, how do I run a version upgrade not using Adept so that it will actually finish?

Thanks for the help!!

Re: Version Upgrade Problems

My advice is to back your data up and do a fresh install of the new system. I had numerous problems with upgrading. I keep my data on a separate partition so it isn't really a big deal to do a fresh install.

Consider this a 'workaround'. I know it wasn't the answer you were looking for.

update-manager-core I think is a gnome app and is instaled on my system.......but I added gnome and some other window managers...........no matter assuming your ok uther than that do

sudo apt-get update

then

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

should work unless thars a repo you nead to add ? cant remember......I was adding things frome mediabuntu in 8.04 when a window poped up and sead a ditrobution upgrade was avalable and I took it all wint well for me but some havent ben so luckey
