DistUpgrade Ubuntu to latest
on HPProBook645In2018
Body
Original Text
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
(apt-get likely works better,
one give better graphics?)
sudo update-manager
did the dist-upgrade
heavy lifting
showing that 6 packages were going
from Ubuntu to community supported/
managed/etc
and shockingly (HeartStopping
HeartBleed?/ Attack?)
(at least on prompt what to do,
took the default, iirc)
including some upgrade errors at the end
which made it seem like it FAILED
was aborting hours of DistUpgrade
and then said it finished
with a guile error...
But, so far,
/Knock on Wood?
everything is working OK,
except maybe menus for
TheGreatBritishBakingShowSeason1In2019
which only gives 1 hour of a likely
multiHour DVD
(like CDs only 55 mins/media?
DoubleLayer
compression
DoubleSided?
and other tricks?)
totem shows the menu
but I can't seem to select anything...
/BadGeek
Looking into the media's
file structure of the DVD
might help,
individual VOB files
and poke around internally?
but I'm much to busy
(arrogance/ important person?)
to mess with that now,
as 3 DVDs to watch
in one Season
and multiple Seasons to get thru,
so not really going for quality
at the moment, quantity...
Disco? Dingo?
or whatever the code name
release name is
is up and running
DoubleD?
instead of TripleD?
how long would that be?
/PreMature?
Modified Text
What's Missing?
lots, but under the hood
so not mucking with it at the moment...
What Can Be Found?
free and open source software,
and likely different than RedMond
like version, enough that it's a
Different World...
What Can Not Be Found?
Insert CreditCard to Continue
How To Analyze?
Lenses
Noob
might start with LiveCDs
on USB media
and learn before risking a machine
that may not be bootable,
especially if mucking with partition
tables,
and/or add an extra external HD
for booting from that,
until learned enough to replace
the leg(s) you were so familiarily
standing upon...
(allusion to BootStrapping?)
Assumptions
your average Joe User can
install a Linux like Ubuntu and
upgrade, much less dist-upgrade
without bricking the machine,
WinBlows is kept, for Linux Hygiene,
which is irony given most use Linux
for WinBlows hygiene (window washing?)
especially in FedSpace?
Where mandatory Blows are the average,
not to mention schools, libraries, etc...
So wondering where all (most? ) of your taxes
were going? Corporate greed,
instead of Free Libre/Open Source Software
and hardware...
Time Limits
Took hours?
But reading the
StillLifeWithCrumbs2019
Bread eBook
so not as bored,
and worried not watching it,
(kind reminds me of
TheGreatBritishBakingShowSeason1In2019
bakers watching their ovens,
some on the floor,
and some praying like to the oven(s)
for a good bake...)
if i had bricked it?
Book Data
ISBN _applicable to UbuntuReleases_
D letter DD names,
as went through all the single letter ones?
naming convention?
see Wikipedia links?
Un Bound
could have downloaded a DVD
perhaps of the entire OS
but updating live,
and risking inconsistencies
and an unstable state,
happened, and still worked,
so there...
CopyRight
likely Left?
Pages
_meaningless HardCopyTerm on the web?_
index
_what?_ ManPages?
makeWhatIs?
Links
Download.Ubuntu.com ?
might find more specific
but looking around might learn something
kinda like finding milk at the back of a convenience
store, and whatever else impulse shop along the way...

Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
Works for me,
so far,
will see what/if I mucked it beyond belief
possibly at some later time...
Wonder what else in under the hood/
it just works (tm elsewhere)
that i can muck with?

- log a
- machine upgrade dist
- but note a point release
- (proper technical name?
- DebIan did, but just packaging
- up upgrades, not a major release?)
- not a LTS? (Long Term Service?)
- so might have to keep
- doing this/that
- each 6? months?
- next is 19.10?
- NB: PBWorks.com didn't like
- 19.04 in PageName
- thought the . was a web page
- (kinda like AmperSand? and other punctuation
- like ? QuestionMarks etc)
- and could not pursaude it otherwise
- easily...
-
- from
-
- Using TempSitUpdating
- to make situations uniform across cases...
