[arunks]

[kalpik]

Final version: *www.mirrorservice.org/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/.pool/ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso

Shhhh..

 

[JGuru]

Yes, Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft has been released. I'm downloading it.
@Kalpik, Where did you get that download URL link from? The Ubuntu
website still shows the same Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake links for download!!

 

[gary4gar]

damm.
me on dial-up so pics were off!
will get 6.10 right away


but why still 6.06 is on download page
*www.ubuntu.com/download

 

[kalpik]

I got them from "internal" sources.. Haha.. actually got it from a thread at ubuntu forums.

Some more links:

ftp://ftp.ukc.mirrorservice.org/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/.pool/
*releases.ubuntu.com/.pool/

Both have both the RC and final version. Be sure to download the final one! (it does not have rc in the filename.

nice work kalpik..will try in few days as i have to download it..

also is ubuntu not providing free cds of this version as of 6.06

i think they willl provide as it will take sometime as it is just released today

 

[kalpik]

^^ No, they wont ship 6.10 CDs. Also, if you plannin to download in a few days, then download from official links, not these unofficial ones.

I started the dist-upgrade at 6 am and it is expected to finish up in another 11 hrs.
I need more bandwidth

 

[saurabh.sauron]

how do u upgrade from dapper. i tried
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
nothing happened.
also, are there no torrent links available?

 

[JGuru]

@Kalpik, Thanks for the information. Yes, Kalpik is right. Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Long Term Support).
So if you order online you'll get Ubuntu 6.06, not Ubuntu 6.10!!

@Saurabh.sauron, To upgrade Ubuntu 6.06 to Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft), open the Terminal WIndow & type:

$ gksu "update-manager -c -d"

This will upgrade Ubuntu to the latest Ubuntu 6.10

NOTE: You must be running Ubuntu 6.06 for this to work

 

[saurabh.sauron]

well, i get this error...

Failed to fetch *in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-updates/main/source/Sources.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)

now what do i do?

 

[mehulved]

I dunno how that works. But what I do is.
Open the /etc/apt/sources.list in a text editor
Replace All instances of dapper with Edgy
Save it. (Most important thing)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

 

[kalpik]

^^ The recommended way is what JGuru told. Only the correct command is gksu "update-manager -c"

The -d switch checks for development builds too! And we dont want you to get RC instead of the final!

Anyway, just installed edgy (im on it right now) and its working marvelously!

 

[mehulved]

Well I prefer a bit more manual labour
Mehnat ke phal meethe hote hain.

 

[arunks]

yo well said bro

 

[JGuru]

Yeah, @Mehul likes to work a bit more to get things done. He likes it that way.
Translation : The fruit of the labour is sweet.
Yes, it's very correct.
