Upgrade Freeze

[guppygould]

Hey all, I've just tried to update to the 9.10 beta. Everytime I press the 'upgrade' button in update-manager it freezes and I have to 'force quit' it. Is there any other way I can upgrade?

I'd really like to try the beta now as most of the bugs have probably been ironed out and the servers will be taking a hammering when the final release is out in a few days.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Cheers for the reply. I looked at those instructions you posted; do I need to change every 'jaunty' in the sources file to 'karmic'?

I dont really think you have to change every repository address. Most of them should automatically change to karmic. However, you should have a look after the upgrade, and probably replace the two or three repos that haven't changed.

Hi, do it the official Ubuntu way:



sudo aptitude install update-manager-core
sudo do-release-upgrade -d

Yes. In gedit ^h opens a find and replace dialogue box.

Good process unless something breaks in the process. Where does he begin to fix it?

Same way he does it via your manual way. From the author of update-manager: "It is the same, but do-release-upgrade has more logs."

So you would have more info for troubleshooting. Perhaps compare your way with do-release-upgrade. Check /var/log/dist-upgrade.

I followed the process you gave and it has updated and installed a lot of stuff but I'm still in Jaunty. Any ideas?

Did you remember to change your /etc/apt/sources from Jaunty to Karmic?

Yeah, everything is 'karmic' now in that file.

I tried the other method that was listed in this thread, but it just hangs on 'checking for updates'

I don't know if this is anything related or not.

So tell us what it's doing. Are you booted into Jaunty? Post the result of
$ uname -a
Post your /boot/grub/menu.lst file.

I've just sorted it out. I left my computer searching for updates for about 50 minutes and it found it eventually. I've just booted into Karmic for the first time.

Thankyou for the help.
