Linux for your taste (sorry Naw :D) (21 Viewers)

Btw I should say it's getting to the point where upgrades truly are reliable and solid. I've had 2 or 3 now in a row (with Ubuntu) that have "just work"ed. This is palpable progress.

I just bought an old desktop computer strictly for storing my archives, and also for entertainment (movies and the odd game). Decided to go for the glacial stability offered by Debian...

I think i got a small problem. The upgrades where going on and my power went off. Now i have some problems with the splash. Any fixes or is there a way to reinstall the upgrades once more?

Well, if you lose power just as files are being written to disk you get a corrupted install of that package. Now you can fix that if you know which package it was ( ) and try to reinstall it (ie. overwrite the partial install with a complete one).

 

[Tommy]

I don't have any idea how many packages or their names which failed

 

[Martin]

Okay, then you have to track down which one the bug is in. Anything useful in ~/.xsession-errors ?

 

[Tommy]

Quite a no: of errors there. Not sure if they are related to the upgrade

 

[Martin]

Anything that says "file not found"?

 

[Tommy]

I don't think so.

 

[Martin]

So what's the bug then?

 

[JCK]

I just pressed the upgrade button.

OK, the downloading is done, I didn't even notice it but the installing is taking time.

 

[JBF]

Now that's what I call a fast internet connection.



:depressed

 

[Tommy]

So what's the bug then?

lot of other errors related to themes and stuff. Nothing related to the upgrade

Huh? I mean "what is the behavior that you call a bug"? Can you figure out which program it is?

sup fellaz..



(osdetect here)

First impressions:
- desktop looks almost entirely unchanged, which means nothing stopped working: GOOD
- fonts look sharper
- firefox more responsive/quicker
- konqueror (file manager) equally sluggish

EDIT: firefox A LOT more responsive (3.6.3)

Can you provide me a sh-files for dummies in simple steps?

I upgraded and it seems everything is working so far

 

[JCK]

Oh, and when upgrading Ubuntu, these window buttons that everyone complained didn't jump to the left.
