I cant even install the update. It says:
"Checking for a new neon release
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading."

"sudo pkcon update" has no updates

Running "sudo pkcon upgrade-system" it says:

Discovery finds no updates

My only bug was with some hard drives.

I had a three drives with just one partition called EXT, NTSF, and Movies. After the update, the old names remained, but the drives were re-assigned as EXT1, NTSF1 and Movies1. No big deal.. I had to modify a few shortcuts and a backup script.

Below was my /media/~ after the upgrade.

Code: Select all

I need to do a clean install instead of updating. Is there a guide on the best way to do that while retaining most, if not all, of my settings (including main system settings)?

Just save everything in your home directory. The best way to do that is to keep /home on a separate partition, or better yet, its own drive.

same problem as lnxusr (same messages): no way to upgrade

Working now.

Still not working for me... I've been beating my head agains this for days now... something has changed in the way networking is done that is affecting my vms... they cannot connect to the network. I have my bridge set up, I have my tap device, and I've tried every permutation of network configuration I could find in all my googlings... I have tried virtio and e1000 emulation...

Is there any documentation on the changes made to either the networking and/or the way qemu handles its ties to a tap/bridge device?

I still do no know why bridge/tap issues persist under this version of Ubuntu base...

But I got around the problem by using a macvtap device in my qemu vm instead of a traditional bridge/tap device. My Windows vm would not let go of the old mac address (which was weird) until I booted into safe mode, then it finally let it go, and took the vtap mac address. Since this is the only thing I was using a tap/bridge for on this system, i can live with this.

Hope it helps if someone else bumps into the same issue.

I can't update, says I need to install all available updates first. Unfortunately I can't get them all to install. I keep getting this:

I received new updates today. Are they good to install? Seems like they come from the jammy package. I already tried updating them all, but it threw me an error:
