To do, or not to do partical upgrades...

I don't get partial upgrades as I never use update-manager in development.

[xc3RnbFO8P]

I do partial upgrades because I'm not sure what to do with all these sessions, and it works (I have been upgrading since 12.04, no fresh install)

It's Technically Speaking not official Alpha yet. It's Pre-Alpha. And there is another way to install it other than using the Nightly Build as well. All you do is use Ventrical's 3 commands to Edit your Sources List on top of a Saucy Installation. Most of the time that's the better way to go this early in the game.

Cariboo907 has warned us time and time again NOT to do Partial Upgrades. The best way to update is to do a Sudo Apt-Get Update And Sudo Apt-Get Upgrade from the Command Line while using Development Builds. The Code Line is constantly changing and sometimes the Software Updater Code will change while you are Updating causing a Borked Update if you are the Built In Software Updater while it is being Updated. Bottom Line, Using the Software Updater is a NO-NO while you are on a Development Line of Code.

Then you don't see this?

I use synaptic to look at changelogs. I dont read them all sometimes there are far too many.

I remember Ranch Hand telling me to use CLI not update manager. As you may recall he called it update mangler.

Someone here in this forum showed me how to make it easier than typing in sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade over and over.

Just put this in .bashrc and logout and back in then enter ud, ud2 or ud3 in terminal depending on what you need to do.
Of course ud first and the others as needed.

# update aliases
alias ud='sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get clean'
alias ud2='sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'
alias ud3='sudo apt-get autoremove'

BTW I broke my Trusty install with todays updates. Not sure what to do. Guess I'll give it some time and see if it straightens out.
I tried to use Synaptic to fix some errors it was getting. I fixed them but broke it. If I would have stuck to the golden rule I probably wouldn't have broken it.

Ringi, what is your bottom panel in #10? Is it the Cairo dock?
Lovely screen!
