I am currently apt full-upgrade-ing to the new 4.2 kernel.
The last times I tried, I got failed loaded modules and no graphics.
Every time the upgrade fails I load the backup, so that's why my system is still up and running.
It has been multiple days since the last time I tried to upgrade, so i'm hoping all the problems are gone, but I have my doubts.
I've done an enormous amount of work to customize this system to my liking (I had to build several programs from source for instance, and I really do NOT want to have to do that again) and I've made sure to follow the Don't Break Debian rules to a reasonable extent- Only a couple programs are installed through downloaded .deb packages, and they're all emulators (Dependencies were installed through synaptic). I manually installed the header files for GLM and GL3 into the usr/include folder, but that doesn't break the Don't Break Debian rules.
I'm not sure what i'm going to do if the upgrades continue to fail. Obviously I can't run this system forever without updating it, because pretty soon I won't be able to get programs for it through synaptic without updating. I really hate the idea of having to reinstall siduction from a fresh install DVD, and it's bullshit that I'd have to anyway.
I really don't want to go back to windows either, it sucks donkey dick
I will update this post after I finish the upgrade.
