I posted it on launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/428570) but apparently no one has had a chance to look at it. Although not a big deal for desktop installs, this is a serious PITA for server environments, particularly for collocated or dedicated server pools where the admin doesn't have access to a console. If you're using 9.10, server, I suggest you use the work around described in the bug report. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

If it is true that there are packages/sets of packages that will not get installed through 'apt-get dist-upgrade' during the development cycle, is there a communication method for dev teams to let testers know if a reinstall or invocation of update-manager is needed to move from alphaX to alphaX/beta to follow the preferred K/X/Ubuntu package set? (Knowing full well that there are daily updates during the devel cycle.)

Re: Karmic Alpha 6/Beta
If you've updated ANY of the alphas, you'll have the beta installed. The only thing I can think of that won't get updated is GRUB, depending on what updates they've done there.

Karmic Alpha 6/Beta
Sorry if this is the wrong list to ask this question. If so, can someone please point me to the appropriate list? My question: Can anyone here please advise if karmic Beta is simply a fully updated Alpa 6? Answering yes will avoid added server/mirror downloads from users/testers that already have Alpa 6 (fully updated) & I can post that information on the Ubuntu users list accordingly. Answering no & I'll ask someone to explain why and/or provide links to information that advises the differences. So please asssist with details if you can.
