I
took advantage of the first week-end just after Ubuntu
release date to upgrade both my desktop (Veriton S661) and my netbook
(EEEPC 900) computers. Everything went quite smooth this time, here
is a brief report on how the upgrade activities went.
Before
to start
Since
14.04 is a LTS release the upgrade to a “ordinary” release must
be explicitly enabled in the “Software & Updates”
configuration tool.
Also,
remembering problems
I had last time I updated, I temporarily disabled the screen-lock.
Last
I had to complete all pending updates before the upgrade button has
been made available
The
upgrade process
The
upgrade process, after the usual initial confirmations, proceeded
smoothly with downloading and installing all needed packages.
the
EEEPC took, of course, a considerately longer time in completing
both download and install phases. While installing on the desktop
computer I've been asked once about some license agreement (EULA)
regarding Microsoft fonts.
I
suppose it's related to some Wine component installation, it didn't
appear during the EEEPC upgrade. The Veriton upgrade showed an error
message at the end about some Debian theme but it doesn't seem to
affect the regular installation work.
Post
upgrade Gnome-shell tuning
After
the update completed and the first reboot I disabled the “Location”
switch in the top-left menu
and
upgraded some extension which had become outdated.
