I think I already screwed up...Lucid

I was changing my karmic to lucid on all my resources and changed that "/usr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.info" file to reflect lucid as well.

I thought what the heck and did a 'sudo aptitude dist-upgrade', and got 87 MB of updated data along with that new kernel. It booted back up ok, but I know the tool-chain is not uploaded yet. I checked and all the files have been updated. as of 10 minutes ago.

While I was still under karmic I was keeping updated.

At any rate its holding steady. That's what backups are for. in case this blows up in my face.

Wait.. why do you think you screwed up?

Sounds like everything is fine?

I've never don't an upgrade before. Only new installs. I've always just move my home files over to a new installation.

I knew I will have to upgrade on this one unless I waited for the alpha. When I first rebooted the xsplash had changed from the white circle of friends to a psychedelic colored one. I didn't see any xsplash updates recorded.

I wasn't expecting any updated files at this early stage. When I first upgraded I was just expecting what some others reported. That nothing there.

That is where I am--the toolchain is "mostly" in--so you are good-to-go....This weekend I'm setting up the backup install--drive space is ready & a separate /home is there--AH--feels good to be back in the pre-alpha stage again..........Welcome Home ):P

:lolflag:Looking good!):P

The xsplash acid trip is normal.

Interesting--mine "pulsates"...goes from white to a light-blue & back again--no other colours.....I feel cheated :( (image of hacker temper-tantrum):lolflag:

I wanted to say - You are good - I haven't managed to do it yet, I screwed up my up to date and perfectly running Karmic three days before official release!

Boy was I disgusted!

I was just on Gnome-Look & saw a grub2 splash uploaded--Not bad looking--He did it in the wrong size 1024x768--I set it in mine & resized it to 640x480--here is the original--I had to change it from .tga to .png due to forum uploading......I have my menu in red(unselected) & black(selected)--looks fairly good.....at least until GFXmenu comes in grub2 in a month or so.....

I like that .. maybe a little too 'bright' orange, but very nice otherwise.

Thanks. I needed a new face lift to work with Lucid. A tad bit bright orange for morning coffee though.

I wanted a bit of variation--I had made one from the Jaunty GDM screen, but it made the boot experience a bit dark--here is that one--sized correctly.....

If I have time this weekend I'll make one for Lucid.....

Ok--I whipped up a simple one in Gray & Black---I used red(normal) & magenta(selected)--Not as bad a eye-opener.....
