hey there, good people . . .
this is a pretty lame question; fortunately, i'm old enough that lame doesn't bother me all that much anymore.
it's been awhile since i burned a kernel, built open office from source, or built kde -- the way we used to, say, 15 years ago (i even once wrote a piece about whether it took longer to compile all of kde than it did to drive from connecticut to key west -- http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/opinions/3420/1 ).
so now there's a new version of the real, useful kde, now known as tde. i'm on ubuntu 12.04LTS. time to do a general upgrade.
what i'm seeking is advice as to the easiest, least-annoying way to upgrade both operating system and tde -- i'm using 3.5.13.2 -- without breaking, well, anything. i've kept the same configurations for ages. i like them. many took days to sort out and i forgot how i did them.
so. anyone here have a decent recipe for upgrading the whole thing all at once, rebooting, and having what i have, only better?
Hi there, I am currently testing upgrading on Debian/Wheezy (ok, it's not Ubuntu 12.04 but a reasonable relative) so to find an easy and painless way to upgrade from 3.5.13.2 to R14.0.0. Once I complete testing, I will upgrade the installation instructions on the wiki and report back to the ML. Testing is somehow slow due to the limited bandwidth for package downloading, so you may as well way a little more until I complete the test.
Based on reports from another user (Mike Bird - thanks Mike!), this seems to be the easiest way so far (at least in Debian/Wheezy):
apt-get update apt-get install tde-trinity apt-get dist-upgrade
Cheers Michele
