Upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy
I did a dist upgrade on my laptop last night to Gutsy. It was a long process, only because I kicked it off before I went to bed, it downloaded 1800 packages over an hour and a half then began installing it, so I went to bed.
When I got up around 12:30am to feed my little boy I checked on it and it had a prompt up to do something to some config file I’ve never touched in /etc so I let it do it and go back to bed.
This morning around 6 when Alexander wanted to get up, I checked and it had another prompt so I ok that, make piping hot tea and sandwiches for lunch, and its asking me to remove a whole bunch of packages, so I ok that after looking through the list, and reboot.
Came up without a problem but I need to check some of the packages. It will be interesting to see what it has done to my ruby gems and some other stuff.
Ive also realised its time to remove a lot of cruft I don’t use (bluefish, anjuta etc). Will have to check my third party repositories which probably wont be updated until a couple of weeks after Gutsy’s public release.
Didnt notice it boot any different and my login all seemed to run fine (unison backed my home path up, my bash script dumped my redmine db.
