Re: gEDA-user: updating your OS, was: Re: Export gerber crash
Hi Peter and many thanks. This partial upgrade stuff, not too sure but I sent your e-mail, closed all windows and found the last widow telling me to click okay to finish the download. It took about 2.5 hours at 70kB/s and now I have a new PCB. I will start a new thread from work as I think I have found a bug with ElementArc. So I am almost up to all the other people. Thanks again Ian.

I didn't notice gnome-cups-manager had gone... I just thought it had got better. Turns out, the new functionality is in the package "system-config-printer". If you still have problems with the upgrade, try from a terminal: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (If it complains of any conflicts, or tries to remove hundreds of packages, post which here).

That upgrade button just pulls in new security fixes etc.. unless you
change the sources list as below.
The medibuntu ("medibuntu", not "mdeibuntu" as in that url you pasted)
repository moves occasionally, presumably because it hosts libdvdcss
stuff etc.. which administrators might get nervous of distributing from
their site.
Perhaps you have a typo in your /etc/apt/sources.list or you just made a
typo in the email.

Updating by one version is officially supported. Anything else is not.
There are some possible instructions here:

You shouldn't really need to...
Ubuntu will have asked you at some point how often you want it to
background check for updates / fixes, and whether to automatically apply
them or not. If not, the preferences are in
"System->Administration->Software sources (->Updates)"
I personally set to download every day, but like to confirm their
installation, and know what has changed (in case something breaks).
You'll see a little orange icon (with a star?) in the task-bar notifying
you of updates.

Hi Al, you are right. I should update and it is easy in Ubuntu since the update manager has a button Upgrade. It would have been really simple and fast only error 404 at nearly the end "failed to fetch http://mdeibuntu-sos-sts.com/repo/dist/feisty/free/binary-amd64/Packages.gs same for binary, sources and non free source". Feisty is the current distro and should I not be getting Gutsy the new distro? The site seems to be up and alive, just needs a little tweak; I guess I should try again tomorrow.
