If you already have Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 LTS installed, and you’re kinda lazy to perfom a fresh installation of Ubuntu Edgy Eft, you can perform distribution upgrade from your Dapper Drake installations to Edgy Eft.
Here’s a quick way to do it :
Goto terminal ( From Desktop, goto Applications->Accessories->Terminal )
user@desktop:~$ sudo sed -e 's/dapper/ edgy/g'
-i /etc/apt/sources.list
user@desktop:~$ sudo apt-get update
user@desktop:~$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Then lay back while your distro upgrades itself.
Note: My X won’t start after upgrading from Xubuntu Dapper to it’s Edgy Eft counterpart. I fix it by doing “sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop”.
Updates (from Xubuntu website):
Xubuntu 6.10 has not yet officially been released, but you can already download the final stable .iso image here. Be aware though, that there may be some problems upgrading from the Dapper Drake version when using update-manager.
Similarly, if you use the default Ubuntu installation with GNOME, you may want to use “apt-get install ubuntu-desktop” *IF* your X won’t start after upgrading (might not affect you, btw).
Happy upgrading!
