update properly? 2 years 29 weeks ago

In pre-statler #!

Folks:

I'm re-posting his thread since the thread that contains a question similar to mine has been marked as solved. I just recently installed Xubuntu PPC on my iMac 800 G4 . . . got "sudo" back working last night, so I ran "sudo update/upgrade/dist-upgrade" . . . and the Console came back with one package to upgrade, but three "held back" . . .

I usually use apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to run my updates and upgrades instead of the GUI because it seems to run more quickly.

However, I've noticed lately that I often get a message that one of my upgrades was held back. I then usually run dist-upgrade to run it through and it works fine.

I have a number of LVM partitions, each containing an Ubuntu installation. Occasionally, I want to do an apt-get dist-upgrade, to update an installation to the most recent packages.

Basic Fedora help! 29 weeks 4 days ago

I am a recent Fedora convert coming from Ubuntu. I can manage to get around Fedora with no problems, but there are still a few things erking me...

dist-update kernel failed? 34 weeks 2 days ago

I run:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

, and the linux kernel seemed to be updated to 3.2.0-31-generic successfully.

However, after I rebooted, I typed:

uname -a

, it showed :

Linux Albert-PC 3.2.0-29-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 27 17:03:23 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Does that means the kernel wasn't being updated?

I would have thought that the graphical update-manager could be reproduced from the terminal commands:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade -y sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

yet I can run these commands at the terminal and despite seeing lots of things get upgraded then open the gui update-manager immediately afterwards and see that it has a list of updates it wants me to apply. Why is this?

Hi everybody!I usually run this script for updating and cleaning the system..What do you think about?

Hi,

I've created a very basic script to run apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade unattended (run with cron) and save the logs.
