A successful upgrade to Lucid Possible?

[carlexpc]

I upgraded from Karmic to Lucid Beta 1. The only problem I have encountered was the splash screen. Overall, the upgrade is ok.

I also upgraded without issue. However, just to be safe, I highly recommend that you create an image of your existing install just in case things go wrong or if you simply dislike lucid and want to go back. Clonezilla is great for this purpose.

Back it up is good advice, before doing anything. I just use a external HD for all the stuff I want to keep and generally fresh install, it is much faster, but I know what I need to install on a fresh install. In the past I have never really had a problem with doing a web upgrade. I just prefer a usb install takes about 20 min, every web upgrade was like 4 hours.

All has gone well for me 2 installs with intel drivers for graphics took one little work around to get my graphic drivers to start plymouth before getting system mounted. Been here since the get-go and all is well in 10.04.
Below is graphics driver fix for my Intel.

sudo su
# type your password here, then:
echo FRAMEBUFFER=y > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
update-initramfs -u
# exit root-mode:
exit

Copy and Paste below to terminal and jump in:

sudo sed -i 's/karmic/lucid/g' /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade

Have a nice day.

I am glad to see that at least 2 people have succeeded. I did a ressh install of netbooks and that went real well and uneventful. I have a karmic desktop and server that I would like to release, but I am a little nervous about. I had a hard time setting things up so that my desktop properly talks to me server, and I would hate to screw it up.
