View Full Version : [SOLVED] Upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 - Needing third party repositories

Hello all, please bare with me as I've only been running Linux for a few months now and don't know much.

I upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 via the i386 alternate cd, as I did not have an internet connection at the time of upgrade. The upgrade wasn't complete before I finally had access to the internet, as it dowloaded 700+ MB of data during the package manager update, so I'm guessing that there was a snag when trying to upgrade from the cd..?

Anyway, now my system runs 9.04 Jaunty but my third party repositories still reference intrepid (except for the two that I edited myself).
This is the readout from <cat etc/apt/sources.list> :


# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release i386 (20081029.5)]/ intrepid main restricted
# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release i386 (20090420.1)]/ jaunty main restricted

I commented the third party repositories that referenced intrepid after all the updates were applied, but I thought that they would automatically be disabled during the upgrade.

What can I do to fix my repositories?

Ubuntu Tweak is what I use, simplifies it a bit.

Thanks for your quick response!

Will this application add third party repositories for my existing applications or will it only add repositories for the applications that it installs afterwards?

Does this application run full time or only when you load it?
The reason I ask this is that I'd rather not install more applications than what I need, as my laptop is showing it's age and I want to keep it fairly responsive.
I'm hoping there's a way it can be done without adding another application.

Besides, if I don't do things from the terminal, how will I ever become a proficient Linux user? ;)

I nonetheless appreciate your input!

It will only add for applications you install through it (I believe), but it has a simplified source editor that I prefer. It will not run full time it only runs when you load it. I'm still a newbie myself, but I have found editing my sources was much easier through ubuntu tweak.

Sorry, but I had forgotten this thread... this was fixed by, iirc, commenting all of the intrepid and cd-rom sources and uncommenting the jaunty sources, then doing an apt-get update.

Again, this is from my memory of the events, as it's been a while... I'll try to follow up faster next time, sorry!
