Talk:Easypeasy 1.5
From EasyPeasy Wiki
Just upgrading now -thanks for the great OS and upgrade notes :D Just a quicky - the upgrade package talks of (in its Gdeb comments) making sure you have an easypeasy repository of "intrepid main". Shouldn't it say "jaunty main"? That's where mine is going. Cheers, - BilBea 28 July 2009
Updated the upgrade page. Reasoning = my upgrade crashed because libc6 needed gdm to be shut down before continuing. --Bilbea 01:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Another note on the upgrade, I was told to run liloconfig after the dist-upgrade. I forgot and got a kernel panic on reboot. After chrooting in and running liloconfig I now can boot and everything's OK except splashy's gone bye-bye. I'll look in to getting EP's splashy back and get back to you. --Bilbea 01:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
How does one go about running "liloconfig"? I can't figure it out. Please help. --gplauche 10:36, July 30, 2009
Nevermind. I figured it out. The instructions while upgrading to 1.5 say to run liloconfig(8), not liloconfig. Had me confused. I have a new problem now. When I run liloconfig, it gives me a warning that my root filesystem device (sda1) doesn't look like an "ordinary" block device. It tells me either my fstab is broken and I should fix it or I'm using hardware (such as a Raid array; I'm not) which the script cannot handle. So I'd then have to repair the situation or hand-roll my own /etc/lilo.conf file and I have no idea how to do that. --gplauche 10:56, July 30, 2009
When I run /usr/sbin/liloconfig and /sbin/lilo I get the following error: Fatal: raid_setup: stat("/dev/hda") --gplauche 1:22 pm, July 30, 2009
Update: All it took to fix this error was to change the two instances of "hda*" in my /etc/lilo.conf file to "sda*". Thanks, Skaperen of the #easypeasy irc chatroom. --gplauche 7:52, Aug 1, 2009
Nothing happens when I try to do the upgrade. I followed the instructions under "Upgrade", installed the deb-upgrade-package, logged in to the console, and ran "apt-get dist-upgrade". But it just says "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." Anyone have an idea why? -- Johan Aug 1, 2009
Johan, I think you just need to refresh/update your sources list first. --gplauche 7:52, Aug 1, 2009
