in German:

1. Sourcen anpassen
2. dpkg -l | grep aptosid um zu schauen, welche aptosid-Pakete installiert sind
3. für die gefundenen Pakete die Pedands von siduction installieren
4. apt-get purge $(dpkg -l | awk '/aptosid/{print $2}')
5. aptosid aus den Sourcen schmeissen
6. reboot

das sollte reichen.

Sauberer wäre allerdings eine Neuinstallation.

translation:

1. adjust sources
2. which aptosid packages are installed:

Code Select Expand

dpkg -l | grep aptosid
3. install the relevant siduction packages for all found aptosid packages
4. delete aptosid packages:

Code Select Expand

apt-get purge $(dpkg -l | awk '/aptosid/{print $2}')
5. delete aptosid sources
6. reboot

should be enough

But a new install would be cleaner

Thanks, I'll try.

As aptosid uses dmakms and siduction uses dkms for auto module installation how does one do the change from dmakms to dkms?

[devil]

delete dmakms and install the corresponding packages in those cases, where you made use of dmakms. Those can easily be found by doing:

Code Select Expand

apt-cache search <package> and look for the respective foo-dkms package.
In the case of e.g. nvidia this would be nvidia-kernel-dkmsor, in case of old cards, nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx-dkms or the like.

Perhas helpful for someone: The instructions still works fine. When installing the siduction packages before purging the aptosid I forgot to include the tiny little package linux-image-3.6-1.towo-siduction-amd64 that is sometimes used After that I had a few exciting minutes when booting the system   But I managed to have it installed afterwards and I could boot and start kde. I had bigger problems with the nepomuk desktop effects being turned on when I started with the PC hardly running and all the graphics looking weird or not at all. Now I have managed to turn it off and everything works just fine.

Thank's for the excellent migrate instructions.

Good idea to be fully dist-upgraded before making the conversion.
