Did initial steps ok, then moved to the restart Adept, prior to the full upgrade, step. Notes follow...
Did not have Adept shutdown issue. Always got this message at "Preparing the upgrade", tried restarting etc., nothing helped. Failed to fetch http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) Failed to fetch http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/source/Sources.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) The repository listed in the error is an issue at the moment as it also shows as an error when fetching patch lists (at least since the update process was initiated). Eventually I commented out all repositories other than the update one, then update continued (and continues as I type). If the update one is the only one needed, it might be best to alter the instructions to only have that repository enabled. Other than that, this would be a hell of an inclusion- "not only is Ubuntu free and highly useable, but when the next versions come out, it upgrades itself!" -- SRU: updates necessary for Kubuntu Upgrade Tool in Edgy https://launchpad.net/bugs/84717 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
