Some additional context : Thing is: I'm using Ubuntu since 2007 and almost always used the alternate install downloaded via bitorrent when doing a release upgrade. Seems like this time there's no alternate install, only a desktop iso but seeing that booting it offered me to upgrade, my natural expectation was that it would work "as usual".
Clearly this should require a warning somewhere because wiping out system-wide configs, databases and logs can be troublesome even if all previous packages are correctly restored. Obviously, not everyone will upgrade this way, but advanced while not expert users like me could easily fall in the trap. If I had seen the clear_partitions list http://paste.ubuntu.com/1290581/ I would probably have avoided it. On the other side I must recognize the added benefit of a clean system pushing me to script my usual setup. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068657 Title: ubiquity upgrade failed to restore applications without internet access To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1068657/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
