Upgraded to Intrepid

April 4th, 2009 by Belse Leave a reply »

Very soon, Jaunty is going to be released. In mean time, I decided to upgrade my server from Hardy to Intrepid. I don’t know actually what I was thinking. Why should I upgrade something that’s still supported and runs without problems? On intrepids plus side, intrepid had packages for libcap2. I had only installed these from a PPA-repository previously. On the down-side, I had problems running the new Xorg on the same hardware when Intrepid was brand new. I just couldn’t get tv-out to work regardless of how hard I tried with my Geforce 6200.

Well, how did it go then?

Oh… It was the smoothest release-upgrade ever! Wow :) OK, xorg struggled. But it wasn’t harder than: resetting the xorg.conf, starting xorg, let jockey install the correct driver, restart and set up twinview (clone) using nvidia-settings.

Now, I just wait for proftpd v1.3.2 to hit the repositories. In the mean time, I use proftpd debian packages.
