upgrade hydrogen [solved]

xfrank · 2018-02-26 01:43:48

Hi to all, I have Bunsenlabs "hydrogen" 8.9 on my laptop running flawlessly and I'm very happy with it (thanks to the devs for this beautiful distro). I would upgrade it to the last version. Before posting I've searched the forum for an official or exhaustive thread on how-to-upgrade-bs (easily, step-by-step), ad I didn't find it.
How I can do it easily and safely?

My sources.list file contains this:

# 

## DEBIAN

#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-fre

## BACKPORTS

# deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free

And this is my inxi output:

Wait until Helium officially goes out, I broke the system with a problem of lightdm and startx did not start. The screen did not turn off as in debian is a problem of debian that I do not know what they have done, have if they polish here.

i'm pretty sure this forum contains several threads that describe the process in all detail.

As it happens, you are actually running BunsenLabs Deuterium and that already is the latest release

Double-check with:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

We will have a new "Helium" release out very soon, this will be based on Debian 9 (stretch).

OK, I will wait "Helium". I hope there will be an "official"/sticky thread to help with thre transition.

thanks!

Thanks! Yesterday I was tempted to upgrade following the Debian path (I have successfully upgraded Debian from 8 to 9 in another PC). Better to wait.

There is unlikely to be an "offical" upgrade path but we will do our best to help users who try.

If possible, it would be very good to not have to install.

Head_on_a_Stick · 2018-02-27 07:57:32

^ Yes, I understand that but please understand that all of the developement work has been carried out in a "fresh" environment so unless the community wants to wait another $DEITY-knows how many months for us to test transitions from Hydrogen/Deuterium as well then we will have to leave it as an "unofficial" option.

As I said, we will support all users who decide to attempt a dist-upgrade as best we can.
