This is possibly a rather stupid idea, but if your sources are still set at Raring it would be interesting to see what happens if you run:
I only mention that because the 'release-upgrader' packages were recently updated and the added "-c" should get you to the latest "release-upgrader".Code:update-manager -d -c
But if things blow up don't be too surprised. There are lots of bugs in Saucy right now.
I still think he should burn a daily build iso and use the upgrade option on the installer...i don't think he would have much to lose and it might just work...i think the upgrade is done in a different manner on the iso then it is when you do it on the software updater...(a better way, i think)...
I don't disagree with that :)
I always include the upgrade (image) tests in my iso testing:
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1498/info
It's a truly decent process and much faster than using the 'release-upgrader'. I'll grant you that apps not available from the standard repos must be manually reinstalled but it's still a much cleaner upgrade method.
But both upgrade methods must be tested prior to release.
@kansasnoob: absolutely! could not agree more ;)
In fact, the ONLY apps that did not carry over for me was google chrome and mscorefonts (well actually mscorefonts is in the repos but it does have a license agreement as does chrome)....
All other apps i had installed (from ubuntu software center) were brought over with no problem....including every last piece of data i had (music, photos, videos, documents)...
watching the install, it was almost as if i was doing a clean install, you get the standard slide show...have to pick your log in and time zone just like a clean install and if you didn't look at the technical things going on underneath, you would not even know you were doing an upgrade at all...
time wise, i know usually a clean install takes around 20 minutes....the upgrade from the iso image took about 25 minutes...super fast!
i was totally amazed...and this is why i can't understand the often stubborn attitude i see here about people trying that method...they seem to think that the software updater upgrade method is the superior way to go...based on my experience, i have some reason to doubt that...
a friend of mine also used this method and it went just as well for him as it did for me...
Sadly did not work
I understand that but I wanted to upgrade to ubuntu 13.10 BETA version like that but when 13.10 will be released I will do a clean reinstall
Sadly did not work don't have ia32-libs at all
