Ubuntu1904OnHP2019

from

SituationalAssessmentTemplate2017

 


 

Introduction/Definition/etc

 

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...

 

Legacy2019

 

HPProBook645In2018

 

RPiTouchScreenDisplay2018

 

RobotFest2017

 

RPi3in2016

 

Legacy2017

 

...

 

PreTeenPatience2015

 

GeeksRule2014

 

...

 

GeekingOutWithRaspberryPi2012

 

...

 

OneLaptopPerChildoplcorg

 

and likely many more...

probably with cute  clever PageNaming

which I'm forgetting over the year/

decade

(s)...

 

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?

 

 

Discussion

 

A place for feedback on the page presented

 

What risks do you take to save?

What choice(s) do you have ,

if poor?

Technically incompetent?

Technically competent?

Just following the flow?

 

A religious zealot about FLOSS?

but not enough to compile the kernel yoursel(f|ves)

  • 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)

  • easily...
  •  
  • from
  •  
  • Using TempSitUpdating
