OK, I see lot of stuff is getting newer versions, but there is some stuff that I think I should keep... Am I wrong?

[VinDSL]

Yeah, I've been seeing that, the past 24 hours or so, too.

"Smart Upgrade", so called, wants to remove essential items. "Default Upgrade" is willing to do a partial upgrade.

Personally, I'm willing to do neither.

This is one of those times that I'll forgo upgrades, and wait for things to simmer down.

There was/is a huge problem with the e-d-s packaging. Downgrade libebackend-1.2-6, libecal-1.2-15, libedata-cal-1.2-20 and libedataserver-1.2-17 to their 3.8.4 saucy versions while upgrading. This will resolve the e-d-s conflicts. Or you can go for with the removals and reinstall gnome-applets, gnome-control-center-datetime, gnome-panel, gnome-session-flashback and indicator-datetime. Sorry for those disruptions.

Thank You for a hint and for all good work, no reason to apologize whatsoever...
Update₁: Dived into that well, together with introducing 3.12... So far so good...

Decided to take Door #2.

Downgrading libebackend-1.2-6, et cetera, would have stripped my install to bare-bones; apt-get wanted to remove 10's or 100's of core packages.

Wash, rinse, and restyle went well -- survived a cold boot.

Everything boot/loaded fine on Linux 3.12-rc1 mainline kernel / nouveau.

nVidia drivers still need to be patched for Linux 3.12 -- otherwise, all is back to normal.

Thanks!

WoW! Everything is working great!

Ubuntu 13.10 Beta 1 / Gnome-Shell 3.9.92 Staging / Linux 3.12-rc1 / Nouveau / Plank / Conky / ConkyWX

Plymouth even works/looks better...

[VinDSL]

Hrm...

Looks like GS3 Staging has been upgraded to 3.9.92 / 3.10RC.
