View Full Version : [SOLVED] update-manager -d (does not work on second use)

I ran update-manager -d from 8.10 to install 9.04beta. After partly downloading the files, I interrupted the process. It had not started any installs, and subsequent normal updates seem to be working properly for 8.10 still.

However, now when I try
update-manager -d
again, I get no mention of 9.04.

Anyone know what do I need to reset? Is this a bug?
(The downloading of update files should really be more separable from starting to install them).

Thanks!

You probably won't get any results, as the /etc/apt/sources.list has been change to download from the Jaunty repositories already. Open a termianl and type:


sudo apt-get install -f

to see if the upgrade will continue, if that doesn't work in the same terminal type:


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

neither of those commands worked for me.

did they shut down the sources for a 9.04 distribution upgrade?

Hi,

I disabled the upgrades from intrepid to jaunty via the release
upgrader temporarlly. The rational is bug #354228 that hits everybody
doing a release upgrade.

The problem is that when python2.6-minimal gets install the rtinstall
scripts get run. Those scripts are designed to byte-compile files for
the new python runtime just installed (used by python-support and
python-central, among others). There was a bug that prevents those
scripts from being run (and some python modules were not available for
python2.6 because of this bug).

This bug got fixed yesterday. But the fix trigger the bug mentioned
above in python-central (#354228) and it affects every upgrade from
intrepid to jaunty. The fix is being worked on and the upgrade should
be available again by the end of the day.

Cheers,
Michael

Hi Everyone,

I'm a very new ubuntu user and would like to receive some (very detailed) help on how to upgrade my 8.10 as this seems to be the only way for me to be able to use my mobile broadband (since with 8.10 my USB modem ZTE627 don't work).

Anyone with patience available for the task? I would really appreciate that as I can't wait 2 weeks to have access...

Thanx
Eurico

Press ALT+ F2 and a run screen will start, then type this in it: update-manager -d

A new windows will jump up and at the top you click "UPGRADE".
