Ubuntu Upgrade

Well, today is the day that the Breezy Badger edition of Ubuntu is released. I’m currently running Hoary Hedgehog and here is what I did to upgrade:

  1. Modify /etc/spt/sources.list changing all instances of ‘hoary’ to ‘breezy’
  2. sudo apt-get update
  3. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (took about an hour)
  4. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-base ubuntu-desktop (took about 10 minutes)

My breezy-backports were non-existent, so I did receive some errors here and there, but mainly for not being able to reach that source. I’ll need to update those.

All went well and I now have Breezy Badger running.

Updates: Some programs that have not upgraded well: 1. Azureus - apparently, it doesn’t work with the new version of Ubuntu and the repositories do not have an installation candidate 2. Xine - same situation as Azureus

Update: To update Azureus run these three lines

1. sudo apt-get install j2re1.4 libcommons-cli-java liblog4j1.2-java libseda-java libswt-gtk-3.1-java 2. wget -c http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/a/azureus/azureus_2.3.0.4-3_all.deb 3. sudo dpkg -i azureus_2.3.0.4-3_all.deb

**When you run Azureus, you’ll probably get a message about running an outdated version of Java, but it should all work without updating Java at this point
