Package: upgrade-reports Severity: normal I upgraded from Wheezy to Jessie using apt-get, following the instructions in the release notes. The upgrade worked, but I experienced a number of problems and bumps on the way, needed to fix various problems post-upgrade, and still haven't figured some out.
1) I use rungetty via inittab with the --autologin option; this seems to have stopped working (systemd related?) 2) xfce4-utils no longer exists in stable, so it was removed - and I lost xfrun4. Took a bit of sleuthing to find that what I now need is xfce4-appfinder. Perhaps some sort of transitional package should be established? See also https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=793073 . 3) I did the upgrade in X. At some point during the process, X terminated and I was dumped back at the console, and could have lost data. The notes are ambiguous on whether upgrading in an xterm is acceptable - they initially recommend a textmode virtual console, but subsequently imply that an xterm is fine as long as one isn't using a display manager (which I wasn't - startx from a virtual console). 4) I had to run several rounds of apt-get upgrade / dist-upgrade. A different kernel was required, and when I rebooted (somewhere in between apt-get runs), the system hung on starting bluetooth. The only way to continue the upgrade was by entering recovery mode and disabling the bluetooth service. 5) Various things I don't particularly want got installed (NetworkManager, PulseAudio). 6) On my old install, I had my ThinkPad mute button working properly. Now, it toggles both 'Master' and 'Speaker' off, but only toggles 'Master back on, requiring a manual toggling of 'Speaker'. 7) Iceweasel's used to look good under Wheezy. Many pages look quite ugly now (pixelated, jagged). I can't describe exactly which pages or fonts. There's probably more to say, but this is a start.
