Hi Bill!
Did you succeed with moving to excalibur?
Not yet. As stated in a previous email, I am waiting to test out these upgrades to daedalus, using non-free firmware according to your recommendations.
If I were to upgrade to excalibur, then I can go about it either of two ways:
- reinstall my OS using a chimaera image, but doing a minimal installation;
then upgrading to daedalus, then upgrading to excalibur. This may or may not work, of course, but I may get irritated enough by these weird glitches that I decide that it must be tried.
Or, 2) to stick with my current daedalus installation (with all the preferred packages already installed); only I have upgraded, and have added those packages that you recommended.
Before I go changing things in what is basically still a stable system (doesn't crash, etc.), I want to give this a try. It may be, after a few reboots, that I discover that the problem all along was that I needed those packages.
If this still doesn't help, then I will give excalibur a try. But I don't like taking the scenic route just to install that release (i.e., chimaera > daedalus > upgrading by changing my sources.list). That, to me seems just a bit too indirect, and will probably make for a few surprises along the way.
No worries, it'll be fine, belive me ... :] Kernel 6.5 has better support for ryzen CPU, so things won't get worse (hopefully). As your ssd is in most parts a vaste desert now you can just copy your system to a spare folder and try the upgrade. If it does not work, just move folders around and be fine:
# mkdir /old-root # mount --bind / /mnt # rsync -av /mnt/ /old-root # umount /mnt # rsync -av /boot/ /old-boot
... then do the upgrade.
[...] There am I, the intrepid adventurer, boldly going where nobody has gone before ...
Don't count on that. See those almost vanished traces in the mud? These are my footprints ...
