Change from aptosid to siduction
« on: 2018/01/30, 21:26:58 »
My main PC is running aptosid it is fully updated, I read the siduction forum every day, I think I should change to siduction as aptosid appears to be dead, although slh still puts out regular kernels. This is my main PC so I want to get the changeover right. I think I should be able to do the change by adding the siduction repros and # the aptosid ones or is that too simple. Looking for the siduction repros there seems to be a couple of conflicting addresses.


this



extra (amd64 / i386)
Please add these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/siduction.list or create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extra.list containing these lines:
deb     http://packages.siduction.org/extra unstable main
deb-src http://packages.siduction.org/extra unstable main
fixes (amd64 / i386)


Please add these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list or create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/siduction.list containing these lines:
deb     http://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable main contrib non-free


or these



Active apt sources in file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extra.list
deb http://ftp.spline.de/pub/siduction/extra unstable main
           
Active apt sources in file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fixes.list
deb http://ftp.spline.de/pub/siduction/fixes unstable main contrib non-free


Which one to use, I think it should be the first ones without the ftp and I also assume my Debian repros are OK.


Any advice welcome


Thanks

If, that's a big if, were me, I would start from scratch

but .. that's your choice :P

Free speech isn't just fucking saying what you want to say, it's also hearing what you don't want to fucking hear

I either give too many fucks or no fucks at all, it's like I cannot find a middle ground for a moderate fuck distribution, it's like what the fuck

Obviously tempted fate thinking about changing to siduction as the latest aptosid kernel wont work with my graphics, I posted on the aptosid forum and towo tried to help me but it is still broken, not a major problem as the previous kernel works fine. I will be doing a hardware rebuild later in the year so will do a clean install then,  new mobo will be uefi.


However how easy would it be to change over to siduction (towo) kernels, any advice welcome


thanks

If you have a backup and know how to work with backups, I would give it a try, but honestly...
I belive you will spend a lot more time maintaining your old system (how much time passed since installing it? 5 years?)

I would by a 128 SSD for about 50 €/USD and do a install of siuduction. Yuu will need some hours to make it similar to your System, but you can make a dualboot (if its not a laptop) and transfer althe date smoothly and also compare the two systems...

Hi Lanzi thanks for suggestion but I managed to boot with new kernel and find the error and posted  it on aptosid forum,  towo gave me solution and all is working OK. I will do a clean install of siduction when I upgrade my hardware later this year.

C'mon, let's call it the right way, you know that reinstall from scratch is the only proper way, but you are lazy enough to ask developers to waste their precious time helping you to spare time on the backup-reinstall-restore process that awaits you, rather than better investing it on devel or in their own private lives.

This is clearly not a support issue but a "please do it for me because I am lazy" issue.
My advice: backup-reinstall-restore. You will be happier, no glitches, no surprises, no time waste.

P.S.: I also had one last aptosid machine; it has gone with a full siduction reinstall.

@titan

I would love to update this to siduction ...  but, just not within one's powers; feasible. :)

This is also a private build I made at the time

Why so rude and personal attack   :(    I just asked if changing repros would work. If you have nothing useful to say best say nothing :)
