I recently downloaded the latest Bunsen stable and dist-upgraded to Stretch from it. I will mention that gparted was missing from that particular iso but other than that everything went as a standard Jessie install goes on this hardware.....

From a live session using live-image-amd64-170429.hybrid.iso...

user@debian:~$ which gparted
/usr/sbin/gparted

gparted is a Recommends of bunsen-meta-all, so the install should have brought it in.

I tried twice from the menu then from the command line and got command not found back. Apt install got it working. I just wanted to make a note for you guys in case something got missed.

@tknomanzr thanks for the feedback. That gparted issue is strange. It's on the iso-build package list, and has been present on all systems I've installed. Do you remember exactly which iso you used? I'll try and pick it apart...

Sorry for the lateness of my response. I hope once I start uni I will get more time to sit in front of my computer again. At any rate I downloaded bl-Deuterium-amd64_20170429.iso and installed it. I had usual issues with not being able to setup my apt mirrors because for some bizarre reason I have internet access until I get to that part.

The best part of Debian 9 will be out of the box hardware support without having to resort to tracking Sid or backporting the kernel and video drivers. I have gotten away from backporting because I forget what I have backported. It's just easier to track Sid even though I end up with an unstable system at times.

I've just done a quick live boot in a virtual machine with that iso, and gparted was present. Since the install process essentially copies in the live filesystem it ought to be there in an installed system too. I don't know what could have caused it to be missed out in your case.

I am not sure and it's really not a huge problem. It was something I noted but the install process for this hardware on Jessie is somewhat convoluted, so there is a chance the Debian installer fudged something what with apt-get not being properly set up. If it is on the Live image and it's not copying over on an in stall, that sounds like a d-i thing.

I tried dist-upgrade with instruction mentioned by hhh in this topic and everything was ok until I wanted to run bl-welcome again after the upgrade.
I have this answer from the system:

Editing sources list failed. This script will exit.
  Please open /etc/apt/sources.list in a text editor and check the entries before 
  running bl-welcome again.

Currently I have only two sources files, sources.list

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main contrib non-free

and bunsen.list in sources.list.d

deb https://kelaino.bunsenlabs.org/~johnraff/debian helium main

What went wrong?

EDIT

Nevermind, I make some mistakes with sources list before the upgrade, all fixed now. Now it is the configuring part ^^
