My first attempt to upgrade from 16.10 to 18.04 (interested in assisting
in creating LTS version) failed when the installation failed with an
error that I was unable to copy.
I accidentally found the workaround by booting to the "run from DVD"
option which allows the installation program to be started within that
shell. This ran far enough that I got to the commit to erase the old
installation which I was unwilling to do at that time.
I will repeat this process (with a camera handy) but thought that the
workaround was worth reporting.
Hardware is a Supermicro X7DAE motherboard with 2 Xeon CPUs, 4 cores
each, 2 GHz; disk controller is a 3Ware 9500 supporting a single boot
drive and a RAID 5 5 disk second array. I have been using it to do some
low-grade editing of videos filmed on an iPhone 6 and merging the video
with audio recorded on a Zoom H2N. Sound output is via a M-Audio card.
I also run Studio on an HP Envy laptop and an older Dell 6230 laptop,
the latter because of the cheap availability of the multi-monitor
docking station.
I have to report that Ubuntu Studio with options (mainly the current
version of OpenShot and Cinelerra-CV) are more reliable than the same
system booting Windows 7 with the MS version of OpenShot, and I find
Clementine a better music library system for me than iTunes at this point.
Thank you, Ubuntu Studio developers.
