  1. Re:Painless Upgrade on Ubuntu 6.06 Reviewed · · Score: 1
    Very _painful_ upgrade here.

    The download went well, but once the upgrade started to apply itself, oh brother! It initially quit with:

    Preparing to replace libuuid1 1.38-2ubuntu1 (using .../libuuid1_1.38-2ubuntu2_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement libuuid1 ... Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/udev_079-0ubuntu34_i386.de b E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

    apt-get install -f started the process again but from then on it crashed several more times requiring a dpkg --configure -a each time. It finally finished, but I'm left minimal volume on my sound when the speakers are cranked up to full blast (yes, I've checked alsamixer) and other bootup messages I'm going to have to track down and fix. Cups error messages, program not found errors from RC scripts, etc.

    Sunday will be devoted to cleanup, I guess :(

    "I hook mine up to any computer via usb, and it appears as another hard drive" iPods can operate this way also via rockbox: http://www.rockbox.org/ Not quite ready for prime-time, but getting there...
