Re: How do i upgrade to dapper?

Taken from http://kubuntu.org/announcements/6.06-lts-release.php

Upgrading from 5.10
Users of Kubuntu 5.10 can upgrade to 6.06 LTS over the internet by following these instructions:

In Adept go to Manage Repositories and change "breezy" to "dapper"
Click "Fetch Updates"
Click "Full Upgrade"
Click "Commit"
After all packages have installed reboot the computer

If you have a Kubuntu 6.06 CD put it in the drive and run apt-cdrom from the command line then follow the instructions above.

If that's not detailed enough, feel free to ask.

Thats the one i found. Exactly where do i change "breezy" to "dapper"? there is marked "breezy" several plases in the "Manage Repositories" window. I have changed several of them but it just updates breezy.

Re: How do i upgrade to dapper?

well, you have to change them all. breezy will become dapper, breezy-updates will become dapper-updates, breezy-security will become dapper-security, etc.

Then you have to click "Fetch Updates" (some people forget).

It's possible that it looks like it's only updating Breezy, but it's really downloading Dapper and replacing the Breezy versions with Dapper versions. If you have been able to successfully upgrade to Dapper, you can check by typing this command in Konsole:

lsb_release -a

If you want, you could take a peek at my sources.list, but take note that the repositories in my sources.list are pointing to my country's local servers, so you have to change it a bit:

deb-src http://ph.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted

I am hung at the same point, every time I try to change breezy to dapper, as soon as I leave that field it changes back to breezy. is there a conf file somewhere where repositories can be changed in an editor?

Re: How do i upgrade to dapper?

EDIT: it's /etc/apt/sources.list

The /etc/apt/sources.list contains the list of your repositories. It contains something like the one I posted. Just take note to use your country's local servers or just remove the "ph." to use Ubuntu's global server.

You can edit that file manually to change "breezy" to "dapper", but you need root privileges for that. Open up Konqueror and go to the /etc/apt/ directory. Look for sources.list and right-click on it. In the Actions menu, choose "Edit as root".

As for using Adept to edit the repositories, when you change a certain text in a field, you have to press Enter before you click on another line/field.
Then don't forget to click on Apply to save the changes. And Fetch Updates to update the repositories.
