Comments on: Upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 http://rrenomeron.wordpress.com/2008/04/27/upgrading-to-ubuntu-804/ Commentary on Computer Geekery, Photography, and other stuff from Rich Renomeron Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:04:31 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: kjetilk http://rrenomeron.wordpress.com/2008/04/27/upgrading-to-ubuntu-804/#comment-3162 kjetilk Sun, 01 Jun 2008 06:49:23 +0000 http://rrenomeron.wordpress.com/?p=53#comment-3162 Ouch, that libpam-encfs thing was painful... :-( It just bit me. I'm not totally up and running yet. Thanks for the packages, but they didn't work that easily for me. For one thing, I think that to be upgraded, the version number must be higher than the version number in Hardy. Is the tilde higher than the underscore? Anyway, I got the source package, unpacked the .orig, renamed it to match the patch filename, patched it, made debian/rules executable and then it would build. I was starting to think about using Ubuntu on my commercial production systems, but this really calls the Ubuntu QA and release process into question. This is something I don't think would hit Debian, with a patch known well in advance of release... :-( Now, I'm back to struggling with the kernel, I'll keep you posted about the libpam-encfs problems if you want.
