Beta release of Etch install

Hi
Tried the following option
Another way that most likely also will work is to edit the sources.list, remove the bubba package, and then do a dist-upgrade to upgrade the system to etch. Then reinstall the, new, bubba package. The drawback on this is that you wont get the new partitioning and will end up with a system that differs from the "full" bubba-etch system and thus might not work 100%.
the Etch upgrade went well.
but now i want to re-install the bubba package.
what should i add to the sources.list ?
cheers

Hi, thanks for the reports! I wished to try the full installation but i don't have time and storage to do a complete backup, so i might do as you did.
Could you (or anyone else) give some details on how to fill the sources.list correctly for the update?
I don't mind reinstalling the bubba package, i almost never use it.
Thanks

Hi,
To get a "compatible" apt config with the etch-upgrade. Your /etc/apt/sources.list should look something like:
Code: Select all
deb http://security.debian.org etch/updates main
deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian etch main
deb http://update.excito.net/ bubba-2 main
Where one preferable change the
se in the main repo to something more local to your loacation.
Then to get the "fixed" packages from our repo. (Give it a higher preference than the debian repos) You need to add a
/etc/apt/preferences file with the following content:
Code: Select all
Package: *
Pin: release a=bubba-2
Pin-Priority: 600
Package: *
Pin: release a=etch/updates
Pin-Priority: 550
Package: *
Pin: release a=etch
Pin-Priority: 500
With this in place it should be enough to do a
and finally do a

Thanks Tor, that worked perfectly.
MSX, i used
http://www.debianadmin.com/upgrade-sarge-to-etch.html to upgrade.
Add the sources given by Tor, and upgrade using
Code: Select all
apt-get update
apt-get install aptitude
aptitude -f --with-recommends dist-upgrade
Before you upgrade it is very handy to make a backup of your /etc directory!
Note that this is completely untested by Excito.
I totally got that!
I already encoutered my first upgrade mishap:
mysql 5.0 reacts different (read wrong) on php-fusion code, so i had to downgrade mysql to version 4.1
Thanks for the support and the good work

Hi,
No the etch upgrade does unfortunately not come with a new kernel.
We store the kernel in NVRam, a chip inside Bubba. And even though it is upgradable we choose not to do so in "regular updates". Mostly due to the fact that if something goes wrong during upgrade of the kernel. It will render your unit useless.
That said. It is possible to fo an upgrade manually if one is daring enough
You can read about it in

Code: Select all

I am a novice at using Debian and apt to keep my system up-to-date. Usually it works fine. But lately I have received this error:
Code: Select all

I read earlier posts that i needed to add a key to make it work. I the following:
But the problem remains. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Also, it would be really nice if there could be a recomended source.list somehere on the support site.

Just had a look at the link tor provided about upgrading the kernel. If some knowledgeable and brave sole built and installed a new working kernel, and then posted the image of that kernel, would it not be fairly safe for the rest of us to install it? We are all using standard Bubba 1s so the kernel doesn't need to be built to take care of any variance there; or am I missing something?
Thanks.
