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!
I just did an upgrade from 3.5.13.2 to 14.0.0 on my old debian wheezy:
# service kde-trinity stop; apt-get update; aptitude dist-upgrade
It took ~ 6 hours, but everything went smooth. Just keep in mind to upgrade from a console e.g. <ctrl>+<alt>+<F1> and not from within TDE. All setting were kept and everything works as expected.
Thanks for good work :-)
