I found a how-to online which basically says to edit the sources and replace petra with qiana and saucy with trusty. Am I correct in thinking these lines (taken from bad apple's tutorial and modified as I /think/ the online How-to means) do exactly that? 2: Edit apt sources cd /etc/apt sed -i 's/petra/qiana/g' sources.list sed -i 's/saucy/trusty/g' sources.list 3: If you have extra repos here (PPAs, etc) also edit them ls sources.list.d/ sed -i 's/petra/qiana/g' sources.list.d/*.list sed -i 's/saucy/trusty/g' sources.list.d/*.list If I am right I'll just use bad apple's tutorial again with these modified lines. Kind regards, JulianThat's exactly right chief - just change the release names as appropriate in sources.list and anything under sources.list.d/ also: I think Mint has references to it's parent Ubuntu distro in there as well, so you'd probably also want to check for any instances of saucy that need to be changed to trusty. I guess that must mean Mint 17 has just been released then, I didn't realise. Regards
Hi bad apple,Yes it was released a couple of days ago. I have just completed update on my laptop, and all /seemed/ to be going well. However on reboot I have a strange problem. I can login using my normal password, however the system will no longer accept my su password. I have not changed it, so I am at a loss to understand what has happened.
Any suggestions gratefully received. Kind regards, Julian -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
