Comment Not fantastic - but it worked (Score 1) 529

I did have some trouble upgrading from Dapper (to which I upgraded from 5.10), the first time I ran the upgrade it choked out because a package hadn't been removed when it should (bad dependencies probably), at least it kept the 1.4GB of packages it downloaded first. A few overwritten config files later I ran apt-get update & apt-get upgrade a few times then bit the bullet and restarted, surprisingly the system booted (albeit without the new usplash due to an fsck being run on /). I was greeted by the login prompt, the theme had been changed back and my alarm clock user no longer automatically logged in after 100 seconds - due to the new gdm.conf the upgrade made. Having logged in I noticed my theme and icons had been changed which was a little intrusive, but everything seemed to run fine. Speedwise not much has changed (although Firefox 2 seems to be quite proficient at consuming memory when more than a few tabs are open), the quicker boot times advertised don't really show although my system does seem to shut down considerably faster now. I'm surprised I haven't been thrown back to textmode like I was when trying to go from 5.10, but I agree the process could be made better.
