Ubuntu dist-upgrade: Karmic

Posted: 18 months ago (2010-08-01 22:25:14 UTC )

Ubuntu has maintained its perfect zero-and-eight record with dist-upgrade. I have still never had a dist-upgrade of Ubuntu work with all major facilities intact.

This time, networking completely failed to work, on both adapters, after the upgrade. I'm sure there's some way to fix that, though I haven't found it yet.

One of my external backup drives has also decided that this is a good time to fail. So I can't move the data off the machine by network or USB drive.

On the plus side, none of this is on my server box, so the blog should be working just fine.
