Life in U+1

That's because the bot thinks you are Rock Star Peter Frampton and doesn't want to peeve you off

The rest of us are all roadies oldies I guess

With music like that - I fixed that for you

Believe it or not when I was a senior in HS everybody thought I looked exactly like Peter Frampton.
I had the long curly hair too, just not the voice and musical talent. I don't have long hair any more but, I have more hair than Peter Frampton does.

.. I seen that Pete F. has lost a lot of his locks as of late . I meant my comment in good faith. Peter typified the 'rock star' mind set of the early 70's , more so than many other up and commers.

Sorry .. off topic !! Sooner or later I'm going to get the Elfy hammer .. so I'll shut up ! lol

That's the funniest thing I've heard in a while! Thanks for the laugh! I wouldn't be surprised to see that on mine but I see the same thing everyone else sees.

So, When does the next cycle begin?

I already changed my souces.list on one experimental install I use to UU. There is nothing yet. I chose UU rather than /devel/ because that engine is arbitrary, unless things have changed.

Which folder(s) did You point sources to? There is nothing newer that trusty... Just curious... What „name“ did You try to use?

I just sudo sedded...

sudo sed -i 's/trusty/UU/g' /etc/apt/sources.list

and

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

There are a lot of hits but no updates/upgrades as of yet.


I am just experimenting.. just to see if anything is there (or not there).

There are no „UU“ branches on that tree (as there are no SS, TT, RR...) So these are ill-formed entries in sources.list file... Did You get warnings in apt process of update...? If You did not You could file a bug against apt...
Hits that You've got are from launchpad entries from PPA file in sources.list.d folder...
At any time You can visit http addresses from sources.list file and check if new branches are formed and what is their content...

+1 Indeed!

I have installed the final release Trusty on a partition that I hadn't been using and it is so much different than the developmental version that the two are almost uncomparable.
Pretty sure I'm going to wait until at least a week or so after it's established that there is a next version, burn a daily ISO on a DVD-RW and install new.

Or else I feel I'd just be building stuff on top of junk. I'm going to start from scratch. Level the playing field so to speak.

Here's what my boot menu looks like, or at least the list:

cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:~$ cat /etc/grub.d/06_custom | grep menuentry | awk '{ print $1 " " $2 " " $3 " " $4 " " $5 " " $6 " " $7}' | nl --starting-line-number=0
     0    menuentry "Precise Pangolin 12.04" {  
     1    menuentry "Precise Pangolin 12.04 (Recovery Mode)" {
     2    menuentry "Developmental Release" {   
     3    menuentry "Developmental Release (Recovery Mode)" { 
     4    menuentry "Trusty Tahr 14.04 LTS" { 
     5    menuentry "Trusty Tahr 14.04 LTS (Recovery Mode)"
     6    menuentry "Linux Mint 13 Nadia" { 
     7    menuentry "Linux Mint 13 Nadia (Recovery Mode)"
     8    menuentry "Windows 7" {

@Ventrical, do you want to experiment? Run

do-release-upgrade -d

and see what you get. The -d argument upgrades to a development version. In one of the posts in the other sections the OP says that when he tried to upgrade he is warned that Trusty Tahr is still under development. I am thinking that the OP must be using the -d argument and from that I am wondering what would happen if we used the -d argument from 14.04? Nothing I expect.

In that thread someone reports finding something from the engineering team that upgrading from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS is not recommended until the 14.04.1 point release in July/August. Perhaps Trusty development has not stopped.

Regards.

That is exactly what Drs305 told me to do. Upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 when it got to the 12.04.1 point release. He said that is what he always did with LTS versions. Previous to that I was always told the best thing is a fresh install.
That upgrade to 12.04 went very smooth and I'm still riding it and will up until it's EOL. It's the last version with the really cool eye candy such as beam me up and burn window effects when opening/closing a window.
It's my main OS I guess you could say.
