Today is when I was told the latest version of my OS releases. i dunno whether it has or not, though, and I haven't gotten any software update prompts yet (but I only just got on so).

So. You guys. How do I do the thing?

(TetPen Diehard I'm lookin' at you)

I'll have to wait for another month or two before Linux Mint pushes their upgrade though the pipeline.
Then I'll also probably buy myself a new HD. Linux Mint doesn't support an inline upgrade, so I'll end up backing up my home directory, and then do a fresh install and relink everything together. Won't be the first time I've done that.

I... dunno what any of that means. Is that your OS?

I'm just hoping that this will solve the tablet issue once and for all, and I can finally use it like it was meant to be. I'm technically not even supposed to be on today, but I was allowed on because of this- I guess, anyway. (I wasn't allowed on yesterday, either- that may have been better for me, though. Tumblr has been slowly but surely becoming a bit of a toxic place to be, partly because of a user that I know hangs around here rather prominently, as well- but whose name I won't mention, because that has nothing to do with here.)

Yes, I'm running Linux Mint on my computer. It's a derivate of Ubuntu/Kubuntu, and uses the same program repositories.

Check with Diehard67 for any thing to watch out for doing the upgrade, good luck with it and with your tablet.

I think I'm running it right now- I may have done something wrong, though; there is always that possibility. Let's just hope it doesn't destroy everything that I have on here.

just run muon-updater in your terminal and it will tell you that there is a new version of kubuntu and offer to upgrade you, then it is just fallow the prompts, most of witch are just for information.

I am upgrading right now.

Uh, I'm not sure if I did the same thing. I followed the directions from that link (I'm not sure how smooth things are going though)...

It's taking a long time, tho...

it will take a while, if you don't see any dialogs that say error then your fine



this is the upgrade screen on mine so far, I clicked on the show terminal button, cos I like to see what is going on.

it took about half an hour to download all the packages, I have 100 Mb/s internet

installing is gonna take longer but not too bad.

I think it's installed. I had to replace a customized doohicky, but I don't know what it was, so I hope I didn't ruin anything on accident...

Also, I kept some obsolete stuff because I didn't feel like waiting for the thing to remove them all in order to download the OS.

It still insists that my tablet is not connected, though. What should I do?

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wacom

reboot the computer and try the tablet at the login screen just incase x freaks out

if it works then that is it go have fun.

if not then
sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-input-wacom
reboot again and atleast you can use it as a mouse.
