Ultimate Edition Forum

Greetings Ladies & Gents.

I was just wondering if i upgrade my Ultimate Edition 2.1 x86 to Ubuntu 9.04, will it clean my repository? and what are some of the effects that i might face? And also do you recommend a upgrade?


Thanks in advance

Thanks strider5236 & SaddleTramp for your pointers and views. I really appreciate it!! I am going to take the chance and do the upgrade and let u know what the outcome is like.

Hello, I have 3 computers I could try the update on, but I was waiting. Partially since I had a HD crash on one of them. I had a WD 500g Sata, bought at Staples with ext war. I had it 3 days, Ultimate Edition looking just like I wanted then on the 4th day, FSCK errors, the system tried to fix 'em, left me w/ trying manually, that didn't work, so I redid the whole thing over, worked good for about 3 days and again, disk errors on startup, the system fixed'em, so it said and finished booting, then about 3 days later all kinds of errors-some I never seen before, or had any idea of what they were! I reinstalled Ultimate Edition then I thought no way this has to stop and I took it out and went back to Staples. I asked about getting the Seagate instead of another WD. Said Seagate is working fine so far a week later. So anyway I am tired of issues at the moment.

It would be interesting to find out what caused all those errors, but we will never know.

Just for the sake of doing so, ran an upgrade from UE2.1 to 9.04 and all seems well. Took quite a while to download files and complete (probably due to bandwidth issues I´d say), but nonetheless, no errors, no problems of any sort. This scares me. I always prefer a clean install myself, but thought I´d try an upgrade to see what its all about. Did absolutely nothing to prepare system, simply clicked on upgrade button and away she went.

Just a side note.

Its always best to do a dist upgrade using apt before you boot into your os....so Ive heard.
