Trusty Tahr Release Schedule, Partial Upgrades and Common Questions

[Cavsfan]

I see the same thing when checking Software & Updates->Other Software. I'm not sure whether I disabled it myself, or it was done automagically.

I just did a fresh Lubuntu Trusty install on another system, I'll check when it's done to see if I see the same thing on that installation.

Edit: I just checked, and the partners repositories were disabled, but extras was still enabled on my fresh Lubuntu install.

I did a fresh install too and immediately edited my software sources file to comment out extras since I was aware that there is no Trusty repository set up yet.
I guess that would explain why they were both unchecked here.

Aren't the partners repositories supposed to be checked?

Aren't the partners repositories supposed to be checked?

First thing in my install setup exec is:

sudo software-properties-gtk

where I check on "Partners". Since whenever Ubuntu never has that as default?

Ubuntu does have

"Unsupported updates"

checked as default, so I always turn that off.

Do the defaults make any sense to you?

I guess not when you put it that way lol!

I just did as you suggested and unchecked "Unsupported updates" and checked "Partners".
I'll keep that in mind for the future.

Does this mean any thing?

cavsfan@cavsfan-GTO-1969:~$ sudo software-properties-gtk
[sudo] password for cavsfan: 
gpg: /tmp/tmp36v2tq/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created

Notice the computer name? I got creative with this insall lol.

I've been running Ubuntu Gnome 'Trusty' since it was first out and am very impressed, even with my additional bits and stuff I like

One question though, where how do I turn off/uncheck 'Extras' in the repos, (an image would be helpfull) all others either on or off as suggested in previous post here

thanks in advance guys

Open gnome-terminal and run this command:

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Then enter your password when requested and the following file will open:

Then just add the comments "#" that I highlighted in red, click on Save and then File > Quit.

Or if you prefer using the GUI just open Software Updater and click on Settings:

You'll find they're called "Independent" in the GUI:

You can go to System Settings->Software & Updates->Other Software, and uncheck the repositories that are updated to Trusty yet.

Thanks so much guys

Risking a dumb question, here goes. For Trusty is software sources for partners supposed to look like this?

I don't remember what happened yesterday sometimes.

I disabled all of them on my installation, but that was because I had to do so in order to Upgrade from 13.10 using sudo update-manager -d. Edit: The reason why I Upgrade from 13.10 is that my Pen Drive Linux Software for Windows 8.1 has NOT yet been Updated to Support 14.04 LTS Nightly Builds by the way.
