Upgrading from Ubuntu Dapper betas

If you are a tester or have been tracking updates to pre-release Dapper via APT then congratulations, your updates after June 1 will now bring you up to date with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS "Dapper" final.

Upgrading from Ubuntu 5.10 ("Breezy Badger")

There are a few ways you can get Dapper:

  1. Upgrading with the Update Manager
  2. Upgrading by changing sources and the command line

  3. Downloading an ISO and making an installation CD. Torrents: http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/

Upgrading with the Update Manager

A new version of the Update Manager application has entered breezy-updates which can upgrade your entire system in a few simple steps.

To perform the upgrade:

  • First, update your system to ensure that you have the latest version of Update Manager and associated packages. You can do this using Update Manager itself, to be found under the System/Administration menu.

    The necessary versions are available from the breezy-updates repository. Confirm that you have version 0.42.2ubuntu12~breezy1 or newer of update-manager installed by using the Synaptic Package Manager .

Then follow the steps below:

1. Open the Update Manager from the System/Administration menu, or run the following command (either via ALT-F2 or a terminal): 

  •  gksudo "update-manager"

2. Click the "Check" button.

If you have a working network connection, it should then inform you about a new release and offer to upgrade your system. This has been reported as not working yet (as of June 1). Please use the method below.

Upgrading by changing sources and the command line

If you are using Kubuntu and don't want to download the GTK applications required for the update manager, or you don't wish to use the update manager for any other reason, then follow this process for upgrading to Dapper (Ubuntu 6.06) from Breezy (Ubuntu 5.10).

  1. Make sure that you have ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, or edubuntu-desktop installed (depending on which distribution you are using). This is vital for apt to perform the upgrade successfully.
  2. Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list as root: 

 kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list

Or if you're using GNOME/XFCE: 

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

And change every occurrence of "breezy" to "dapper".

Then: 

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Upgrading from Ubuntu releases prior to 5.10

  1. Upgrade to Ubuntu 5.10 (see BreezyUpgradeNotes)

  2. Follow the above instructions for upgrading from 5.10

Troubleshooting

  • In the unlikely event you encouter some problems, double check that your required meta package is installed for your flavor. For Ubuntu this is 'ubuntu-desktop', for Kubuntu 'kubuntu-desktop', etc.
  • Ensure all necessary packages are completely installed and configured by issuing these commands (via ALT+F2 if necessary): 

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo dpkg --configure -a
  • Check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and ~/xsession-errors log files.
