[Bug 986686] Re: does not suggest to upgrade if 12.04 is on USB

2013-03-19 Thread Andreas Altaïr Redmer
This has nothing to do with a USB stick. It is because of the content of
the CD/DVD/USB.

the bug is in the update-notifier data/apt-cdrom-check script
* it works with the DVD
* it works with ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64.iso
* it doesn't wok with ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso

that is because the script returns 0 because there is no ./cdromupgrade
file and not ./ubuntu directory on the normal ubutnu disk.

Of course the script is easy to fix, to return another value on such a
CD, but I think without a ./cdromupgrade file, an upgrade from CD/USB
stick is not possible.

I think this cannot be fixed? Or current Ubuntu CDs have these files?
Maybe one of the developers can give advice.

Correct.  Upgrading from desktop images is not supported; only upgrading
from alternate CDs.
