Vivid repositories are open

[VinDSL]

Adding that repo and then updating busted my system. Don't forget to tell to untic Pre-released updates (vivid proposed) in Software and Updates or system (desktop) will bust. lol

Good idea!

Thx

BTW, don't forget to add 'PROPOSED' to your 'sources.list. [1]

Example:

## Bring on the flying monkeys and winged baboons - 15.04 PROPOSED repository.
deb http://mirror.hmc.edu/ubuntu/ vivid-proposed restricted main multiverse universe

Have you done a full upgrade with -proposed yet?

Edit: missed you 'recanted', I enable here but 'pick & choose'

Thanks Vin.

Oh dear! Thanks for the warnings but unfortunately they came a little too late for me. I added vivid-proposed last night then updated today. It seems to have had a very detrimental effect on my system. Wireless is toast, some very bizarre changes to my Lubuntu DE have occurred and I get loads of PIDs not available for this session dialogues. I'll grab an ethernet cable tomorrow and see if I can revive anything but its not looking good. I may end up re-installing a vanilla utopic and changing the sources.list again.

Exactly. Vent brought it to my attention.

To be clear, I used '-proposed' for the initial upgrade only.

'-proposed' should be used like salt n' pepper. It's not the main course, so to speak.

I don't mean to appear smug, but I thought everyone was on the same page.

My bad. I should have explained that up front... in retrospect.

It's probably not uncommon for people to use cli to upgrade & not pay attention..
Here it's usually synaptic though occasionally it has some issues depending on order of packages picked, mesa source upgrades can be one ex.
(though synaptic is ok with shift + enables which can alleviate the above

That would explain why the initial upgrade after adding proposed went OK. On your page now.

No worries, all part of the learning curve. I thought some of the updates looked dodgy. I could have always pressed 'n' instead of 'y'.

I guess curiosity killed the vervet

I just re-enabled '-proposed' to see how it looks. OMG!

It wants to strip the core system files back to bare bones, plus do a partial upgrade.

Hrm...

LoL! Thanks, for being a good sport about it.

I've been burned a zillion times in +1 testing. It's like playing with nitroglycerin.

I dual-boot Ubu 10.10 as a backup OS. Makes it easier putting Humpty Dumpty back together again...

Anyway, sorry for the confusion!

Yes. I guess 'remove Lubuntu desktop' and ' Network manager' changes should have rang some bells for me
