Have been kind of off lately...but downloaded this iso yesterday, dd`d and installed today. Looks and feels great as always.

Pink Floyd is finally available on Spotify  , so I am celebrating with "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason"

ok, but if I am on lets say a 3.7.2 kernel and with a dist- upgrade will get a 3.9.8 kernel, is it still better to just do a dist-upgrade, and not an upgrade first, and after that do a dist-upgrade, I am talking massive upgrade with maybe 600 - 700 package upgrades, + 60 - 80 of new package installs?  and is it possible to do a sort of "safe upgrade" with apt-get, like you can do with aptitude?

If there is a massive amount of stuff when I want to do a dist-upgrade, is it then better to do an upgrade first, and the dist-upgrade after that?

^very nice jedi, and nice wall 3 or 4 posts above, and congratulations for making your post #500!

Yeah, just like a fresh Ubuntu release 

Sorry for the offtopic, but could not resist.

Decided to take the leap this morning, despite the grub bug, all seems well, the only thing is that I`ve got a waning that says ;

(gtk-update-icon-cache:19095): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache': No such file or directory

This likely means that your installation is broken.
Try running the command
  gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
to make things work again for the time being.


Googled it. but did not get much wiser, ran the suggested command, have not had any trouble, yet.

Thanks for the updated iso VastOne, downloaded it, so I have a fresh iso in storage to install if I mess things up:)

Mucho thanks jedi, commanded an upgrade, had the grub2 bug warning + it wanted to remove some libgl1 mesa stuff, yeah I chickened out this time, will retry later this weekend.
I do have some very  experiences from when running Sid when Squeeze went stable, so I will try to be a little bit more cautiuos this time.

A little question, could it be an idea to have a sort of pay attention thread here, with be careful when performing update/upgrade today, so users could check/post a warning, maybe scare other Vsidoers to wait a day or two before jumping? Or does it exist? Hmmm that became two questions, oh and have done only one upgrade after the Debian "meltdown", so far so good.

have tried the 32 bit image live on my eeepc 1000H, nothing to complain or rant about,
the same for my asus A6000 laptop from 2005 ca, except that the wireless did not work
ootb there, some broadcom bla bla, great work again VastOne + testing staff, thanks

Ooops, the cat sort of escaped from the bag evidently, but hey that is good `n` nice news, have in fact been fantasizing to try Vsido on an old laptop, and now it looks like it will be a reality.
So now I just hope that I will be ready whenever it is ready, too much stuff going on atm, but I am pretty sure it will great. Thanks for these fantastic news even if a bit premature;)

great stuff Sector11, gave me a good `n` well needed  after a tough week

^ Thanks for that classic stuff... feeling a little bit better today so ended up with Donald Fagens "Sunken Condos" 

Feeling a bit old `n`grumpy today, so ended up with some vintage  Emerson Lake & Palmer "From The Beginning The Best ...."
