[ubuntu-uk] 7.04 upgrade tool crash - how to assess next action?
I upgraded kubuntu 6.10 to 7.04 via the automatic upgrader, and things seemed to go ok for pretty well the full 2 1/2 hours (approximately), but near the end when it looked as if files were being re written, the crash notification appeared. Internet connection did not seem to be effective at that time (or I might have tried to file a report), so I rebooted. It appears to be a functioning installation but- I am not now sure about what I should do. I am tempted to wipe and reinstall a clean 7.04. I would usually use a clean install for an upgrade anyway, but this time I thought the upgrade tool was worth a try since it popped up and invited itself! How do I assess if I am now running a good 7.04? tia -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

In the terminal, do this command: sudo aptitude update ; sudo aptitude upgrade Then you'll be using proper ubuntu feisty. To confirm this, do this command: lsb_release -sc And it should say feisty On Sat, 2007-04-21 at 20:13 +0100, alan c wrote: I upgraded kubuntu 6.10 to 7.04 via the automatic upgrader, and things seemed to go ok for pretty well the full 2 1/2 hours (approximately), but near the end when it looked as if files were being re written, the crash notification appeared.

It looks as if the pre-crash actions were virtually complete, because very little actually downloaded (if anything) during this 'recovery' action. -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
