Updating Linux…
This started off nicely… 
I started building my Linux project for Gateway, using Netbeans, and the first compilation error was the lack of an include file somewhere in the standard library…
Ok, looking in the net, I found I was missing a package… So install the package and find out I can’t solve the dependencies because my version of Linux is “too old” (13.10)…
So, since I think it might be a good idea to develop this on the latest version I can find, I decide to upgrade… So far, so good:
Then it fails because of… er… something:
So, now I’m stuck there… I don’t want to make a clean install, because I have stuff configured, etc, but I need to upgrade, so I’m guessing I’ll spend the next few hours/days trying to sort this out…
Now listening to “Unreal” by “Sarcastic”
Link of the Day: Final E3 video, this is yet another sequel… The original game was nice, had a lot of good ideas, but the level/area/story design was a bit lacking, even if the graphics were quite cool, as well as some mechanics:
You can always try to reinstall ubuntu; you’re configurations should all be either in /home/`whoami`, in case of personal software, and /etc in case of system wide configurations.
You could optionally run “apt –installed list > installed.txt” to list all the installed software, and build a file with that; on another installation it is a matter of reinstalling all. Something on the lines of
“for line in $(cat installed.txt); do sudo apt-get install $line; done;”
If you choose to reinstall keep in mind that you should not touch the /home and /etc directories.
Hi there!
Thanks for the suggestion!
I actually found this is quite a common issue, and found several suggestions on how to fix it… Using the install list, I found that I had some broken packages that were preventing the update… It was a bit of work (mainly because I didn’t want to do a script for it because I was “almost there”), but I got it to upgrade…
Again, thanks for the help!
Best regards,
