it will download the dist upgrade tool, but won't be able to run it, so quit adept-updater

 * cd /root/kde-root/*-extract/
 * apt-get install python-kde3-dev
 * for asdf in *ui; do kdepyuic ${asdf}; done

also edit DistUpgradeViewKDE.py on line 450 s/self.connect/self.app.connect/

now run the tool!

 * python dist-upgrader.py --frontend DistUpgradeViewKDE		 it will download the dist upgrade tool, and (fingers crossed) will run it.

test the new Kubuntu Dist Upgrade tool!

if you don't already have an edgy system make a chroot and install kubuntu-desktop:

  • mkdir edgy
  • sudo debootstrap edgy edgy
  • mount -t none -o bind /tmp edgy/tmp
  • mount -t none -o bind /dev edgy/dev
  • mount -t none -o bind /proc edgy/proc
  • xhost +
  • sudo chroot edgy
  • export LANG=C
  • apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

Add this to sources.list:

deb http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/tmp/edgy-dist-upgrade/ ./

  • apt-get update
  • apt-get dist-upgrade

(or you can use adept-updater)

Now (re)start adept-updater and follow the prompts until it tells you there is a new version of Kubuntu

it will download the dist upgrade tool, and (fingers crossed) will run it.
