It's quite old PIII celeron 800MHz with nvidia geforce MX2. OS installed was Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake. Install was almost clean one, with minor tweeking (installed acrobat reader, SUN java, mplayer and few other packages).
I've followed several guides. For pre-upgrade instructions I went with this one: before-upgrading-to-edgy
For installation I went with instructions (command line ones) from here: upgrade-ubuntu-606-dapper-drake-to-ubuntu-10-edgy-eft but I used aptitude instead of apt-get.
Official instructions: EdgyUpgrades
Common problems with solutions: ubuntu-edgy-upgrade-common-problems-with-solutions
So basically it would go like this:
- Check if ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-destktop packages are installed.
- Check which packages were installed by hand and if they are probable to cause problems (use common sense ;))
- Remove apps that were installed via "make install" and so on (once again use common sense ;))
- Edit sources list, and replace dapper with edgy: sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
- sudo aptitude update
- sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
- Repeat this step until all problems are solved... I had to run it at least four times :)
- sudo aptitude -f install
- sudo dpkg –configure -a
- Reboot the computer
So now it's time to install Beryl and show off to my friends that wait for Vista ;).
And then do the same with my laptop. This one will be harder as this install is heavily customized...
