Notes on my upgrade to 6.06 (Dapper Drake)

I updated to Dapper Drake in the following way:

I Issued the command

sudo perl -pi.backup5.10 -e 's|breezy|dapper|g' /etc/apt/sources.list

I used apt-get with the new package list:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade

This removed and installed many packages over a period of hours. It said some packages were left behind, so I had to use apt-get to install them explicitly.

There were (at least) three problems I had to fix:

The header file gl.h was missing.

I had to reinstall the package mesa-common-dev to get /usr/include/GL/gl.h

Kernel problems on reboot

I had to reinstall the latest version of the kernel. At least I think I had to.

Nvidia driver

The drivers gave me fits until I installed every package with "686" in it, i.e., I now have: 

ii  libc6-i686                             2.3.6-0ubuntu20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i686 optimized]
ii  linux-686                              2.6.15.23       Complete Linux kernel on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P
ii  linux-686-smp                          2.6.15.23       Complete Linux kernel on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P
ii  linux-headers-2.6.15-25-686            2.6.15-25.43    Linux kernel headers 2.6.15 on PPro/Celeron/PII/
ii  linux-headers-686                      2.6.15.23       Linux kernel headers on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PI
ii  linux-image-2.6.15-25-686              2.6.15-25.43    Linux kernel image for version 2.6.15 on PPro/Ce
ii  linux-image-686                        2.6.15.23       Linux kernel image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV.
ii  linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-25-686 2.6.15.11-2     Non-free Linux 2.6.15 modules on PPro/Celeron/PI
ii  linux-restricted-modules-686           2.6.15.23       Restricted Linux modules on PPro/Celeron/PII/PII

I am certain that is overkill, but I was getting fairly impatient.

I had to recompile and reinstall coot to work with whatever the new imlib configuration is.

I have the following imlib packages installed: 

ii  gdk-imlib1               1.9.14-29ubuntu1   compatibility package for gdk-imlib11
ii  gdk-imlib11              1.9.14-29ubuntu1   imaging library for use with gtk
ii  gdk-imlib11-dev          1.9.14-29ubuntu1   Header files needed for Gdk-Imlib developmen
ii  imlib-base               1.9.14-29ubuntu1   Common files needed by the Imlib/Gdk-Imlib p
ii  imlib11                  1.9.14-29ubuntu1   Imlib is an imaging library for X and X11
ii  imlib11-dev              1.9.14-29ubuntu1   Imlib is an imaging library for X and X11
ii  libimlib2                1.2.1-2            powerful image loading and rendering library

Notes on my upgrade to 6.10 (Edgy Eft)

Nothing bad happened, although I had to issue

sudo apt-get -f install

after minor failures.
