Pre-Upgrade

  1. Resolve any conflicting packages. Conflicting packages could possibly stop the upgrade, even at a very inconvenient stage. For a common example, if you have the packages mozilla-firefox and firefox installed, should should perform the following:{{{sudo apt-get remove firefox mozilla-firefox

sudo apt-get install firefox}}}

  1. It is recommended that you have the "ubuntu-desktop", "kubuntu-desktop", or "edubuntu-desktop" metapackage (depending on which distribution you're running exactly) in order to ensure that you have the full set of default packages. Note that without these metapackages it is much more likely that you will encounter problems during the upgrade. Ed/k/ubuntu relies on the respective package to perform the successful upgrade.

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-base ubuntu-desktop

To Upgrade

With Breezy CD and Synaptic

  1. Open up Synaptic Package Manager
  2. Click on "Edit/Add CD-ROM"
  3. Click on "Mark All Upgrades"
  4. Click on "Apply"
  5. See the additional notes below
  6. Note that you need to add the cdrom again with Synaptic "Edit/Add CD-ROM" after the first reboot,this is needed because of new package authentication feature

Through Synaptic Package Manager

  1. Open up Synaptic Package Manager
  2. Change your repositories to look for Breezy
    • From

               URI: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
               Distribution: hoary
               Sections: main restricted

      To

               http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
               Distribution: breezy
               Sections:  main restricted
  3. Reload sources
  4. Mark All Upgrades

Apt-Get

  1. Open up a terminal
  2. sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
  3. Replace with the following:

## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
## distribution.
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted

## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'universe'

deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security universe
  1. sudo apt-get update
  2. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Post-Upgrade

Post-Upgrade

  1. If not running NFS as either client or server, remove portmap, as it's no longer needed:

    sudo apt-get --purge remove portmap
  2. If you are without some localisations, you may find that it is necessary to install language-pack-xx, language-pack-xx-base and language-support-xx (where xx = your language code).
  3. Start "update-notifier" and save your gnome-session if you want update notification automatically
  4. Reboot in order to effect all changes (XFree86 to X.org, kernel upgrade, etc.)

Comments

Comments for this upgrade

  1. NDISWrapper would not load as a kernel module after my upgrade. I kept getting the error: FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.12-9-686-smp/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko): Operation not permitted. To get NDISWrapper to work correctly, I had to do the following:

     1. Uninstall the current driver. Use ''ndiswrapper -l'' to get the name of the loaded driver, 
        then ''ndiswrapper -e NAME'' to remove the currently installed driver. 
     2. Reinstall the driver with the comment ''ndiswrapper -i DRIVER.inf'' using your windows driver.
     3. You should now be able to ''modprobe ndiswrapper'' successfully.

Comments copied from the HoaryUpgrade

  1. Only problem I ran into was I needed to reconfigure X which was solved with a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

  2. If using the fglrx-driver package in Hoary, install xorg-driver-fglrx in Breezy
  3. Some systems may require extra action to create /dev/cdrom symlinks on boot if desired:

    cd /etc/udev/rules.d
    sudo ln -s ../cd-aliases.rules
  4. For all ATI video card users, make sure to get the xorg ATI driver before restart. You can obtain that by "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx"
