Ubuntu-Upgrade fom Gutsy to Hardy

Hello again!

First of all, the folks at Ubuntu did a realy remarkable job!

The upgrade on my Acer Aspire 5020 Notebook (AMD Turion, ATI Radeon X600, 64-bit version) went really smooth. I had to decide wether I would keep may old samba and xorg.conf or wether to get the latest (I chose last) and after reboot I had to connect via LAN (the upgrade was done via WLAN) to get the BCM4306-wireless driver. Done!

On my older Desktop (AMD Durion, nVidia GeForce2 MX/MX 400, 32 bit) the upgade was the same, but after the reboot graphics was only working in low-resolution vesa mode.

sudo dpkg -reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

corrected the problem.

After reboot I had to change the keyboard settings, therefore I opened a konsole and launched a texteditor:

gksu gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf

And under Option

"XkbLayout" "en"

I set the option instead of "en" to "de" and saved the file.

Since I have an old Bios,

gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

opened the grub-configuration file and I inserted

acpi=force

in the kernel-section after

splash

On both systems sudo wasn't working correctly. The host wasn't found.
So

gksu gedit /etc/hosts

opened the hosts-file.

127.0.1.1 hostname.domain

has to be changed solely to hostname

Voilá!
Not a big issue and now I have a really slick system!

Hope this helped someone!!

Till next time,
