Kubuntu

I wanted to try out Kubuntu so I inserted a Kubuntu Dapper cd and booted from it, then installed it. The packages in the dapper repos are very old so I thought of migrating to Kubuntu Edgy. Just to be safe I followed this guide to upgrade from dapper to edgy.

First make sure you have ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-minimal packages installed

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal

Then the kubuntu-desktop package

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

Then we need to change all the dapper repos to edgy repos, to do that issue this command

sudo sed -e 's/\dapper / edgy/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list

To start the updgrade issue this command

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get update && usdo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get -f install

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Now you just have to reboot your computer, if you get any problems after the installation see the link above for trouble shooting

If you want more packages than the standard ones you can generate a good sources.list from source-o-matic

ASCII Art

I found something interesting while surfing the web. It's an ASCII art generator. Here's some ASCII art I generated from that site.

A Song for Nerds

This is a parody-song from Weird AL Yankovic's album Straight Outta Lynwood. I'm blogging about this song because I thought of it as some thing related to computing and things like that. Enjoy the music for a change.
