Thread: Upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 on a Multi-Desktop Environment System


greetings,

have 2 computers, desktop 10.04 , laptop 11.10. laptop (11.10) has following desktop environments installed:

1) unity
2) gnome3 classic fallback
3) gnome3
4) lubuntu/lxde
5) kubuntu
6) enlightenment

"pure" ubuntu machine until 11.10 installed other des when playing around see what's available. right i'm using kde actual use , enlightenment sysadmin stuff, though use unity or gnome 3 on occasion.

machine boot splash says it's it's ubuntu, that's because after installed complete kubuntu package changed splash screen ubuntu splash liked splash screen better. use gdm login screen liked best between kdm , lightdm.

so--when push "upgrade" button, system(s) end with? supposed end ubuntu or kubuntu i'm not sure. or updates have (which ideal situation).

know? there way find out? upgrade selection says "welcome ubuntu 12.04" makes me think ubuntu in kde muon center tells me "a new version of kubuntu available".

the developers cannot know every variation every user os. developers design , test upgrade default install of 1 version of ubuntu next version.

shared in testing upgrade path 10.04 , 11.10 12.04 default installs of 10.04 , 11.10 , not of flavours of ubuntu. else testing flavours.

guess whether click ubuntu upgrade or kubuntu upgrade have problems. not expect other desktop environments upgraded either. guess cause problems if try load 1 of environments afterwards.

people have problems upgrading when have heavily modified os. if had pure kubuntu install or pure ubuntu install there less risk of failure.

ask:

does know? there way find out?
the answer go ahead , try it, yourself. tester.

regards.
