To upgrade from Dotsch/UX 1.1 (i386 or x64) to Dotsch/UX 1.2 the installation of a patch is needed. The patch installation would be done online, but a reboot is recommended.
The Dotsch/UX 1.2 Patch is architecture independent for Dotsch/UX 1.1 i386 and x86 on USB stick installations, HDD installations and diskless clients !
The difference between a patched Dotsch/UX 1.2 system and a fresh installed Dotsch/UX 1.2 from the ISO images are :
• The patch requires about 100 MB free space, the actual Ubuntu upgrades are about 300 MB for installation. If you have a USB stick installation ensure that the space is available on the USB stick.
2.5.1 Install the patch on a USB stick / hard disk or diskless server system
To upgrade to Dotsch/UX 1.2 via the patch following steps are necessary :
• Download the patch
• Stop the graphical desktop with „sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop“
• Get the text console (Strg+Alt+F1)
• Login as user BOINC
• Start the patch installer on the text console with „sudo sh <PATH_TO_THE_PATCH>/dotsch_ux-1.2_patch.run
boinc@r2d2-dl:~$ sudo sh /home/boinc/dotsch_ux-1.2_patch.run
[sudo] password for boinc:
