Updating to Gutsy Gibbon

The normal update manager has problem getting to the Debian site.

I down load install install CD, but it is the wrong I need to download the alternated CD.

At first I could not find the alternate CD. There is a check box below everything. However, this looks just like the other CD but simply lacking Live CD. Humm ;-!

The update web site (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades) says "Upgrading using the alternate CD/DVD".

  1. Download and burn the alternate installation CD.

  2. Insert it into your CD-ROM drive.

  3. A dialog will be displayed offering you the opportunity to upgrade using that CD.

  4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

If the upgrade dialog is not displayed for any reason, you may also run the following command using Alt+F2:

gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"

Or in Kubuntu run the following command using Alt+F2:

kdesu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"
OK, I am now waiting for an hour.

This works.

Upgrading without getting the newest stuff from the internet.

Says that some 3rd party entries for sources.list were disable.

Can re-ebable using 'software-properties' tool or package manager.

May need to enable community maintained software universe to see some packages for which supported has ended.

Cancelled the updatge. Will do later.
