I was going to ask Terry if he ever installed Kubuntu 15, but now I see
16.04 is available. I have installed it on a clean disk and it seems OK,
but It didn't want to share the disk with Zorin, and did have issues
with UEFI on installation.
Later I'll try and update my 14.04 system, so If I disappear for awhile
you'll know why (if you even notice).
I had a 15.10 system which I tried to update.....
Half way through the updater threw up an error relating to systemd, so I knew
I was doomed. However, since my /home directory is on a separate partition, I
was up and running 16.04 as a clean install within about 40 mins. Re-
installing mt apps took quite a bit longer though.
So it looks like the (K)buntue crowd have still not solved the upgrade tool
issues.
On a related issue, I noticed today that the update client hadn't flagged any
updates since I upgraded, so I ran sudo apt-get update. Immediately, the
update client flagged updates and after I'd run sudo apt-get upgrade, the
alert went away. So they've solved the problem of the updater flagging the
wrong number of updates and then not noticing when you had applied them, but
now it no longer flags them up at all!!!!
The last problem took them two years to fix...
I went through the Kubuntu upgrade process that I thought would take me
directly from 14.04 to 16.04, but it upgraded to 15.10 and I couldn't do
anything about it, and then crashed unable to even boot while I wasn't
watching. I installed 16.04 from the DVD, like you my /home partition
was separate, and it went smoothly. I don't have to reinstall apps, they
are there, just need putting the icons back where I like them.
Now to fix my wife's XP box that has quit browsing. More difficult.
