Posted by Mark | Filed under Life, Software

I’ve been home sick today and when not sleep­ing I’ve been work­ing to upgrade the ver­sion of XBMC I have installed on my soft­mod­ded XBox.  I had been run­ning the last sta­ble release, but run­ning into the occa­sional prob­lem.  First off I’ll note that Nau­tilus 2.22.5.1 under Ubuntu 8.04.1, does a crappy job of working […]

Last night I upgraded my home PC from Kubuntu 8.04 to 8.10.  On the one hand, the upgrade went bet­ter than any other upgrade ever has.  On the other, I ran into some major prob­lems.

Posted by Mark | Filed under Computers, Software

I fin­ished up all the upgrades to my home PC putting me on Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gib­bon). Unfor­tu­nately none of the auto-magical upgrade tools pro­vided by Canon­i­cal worked for me, so all my upgrades were done via cli, using apti­tude. Mostly this means I had to repeat­edly run “sudo apti­tude dist-upgrade”, inter­spersed with removing/installing specific […]
