I keep getting these "Partial Upgrade" notices from the update manager which might be a no-no, so, I've passed on those. But, I want to fully upgrade to 9.10 from 9.10 beta so is "sudo apt-get upgrade" in the terminal correct?

Do


sudo apt-get update

and


sudo apt-get upgrade

as usual.

You may still get the "partial upgrade" issue. If you do, don't upgrade.

Then do


sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

When that is done (you may have to reboot), do the update/upgrade again to be sure that you are clean and up-to-date.

OK. So far, so good. When doing
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade it wants to remove gstreamer0.10-schroedinger & rtkit. My gut feeling is not to allow that but thought I'd ask.
Big deal or no?

Unfortunately, I can't make a recommendation because it is not my place to tell you to take a chance on borking your system.

But here is some interesting talk about rtkit

gstreamer0.10-schroedinger may be another matter altogether. Did you install gstreamer through Synaptic? If you did, you may be able to remove it the same way...
