From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Without thinking or reading to the last paragraph of this article, I went and started a dist-upgrade on my pi.

Curious now to see if it still boots after it's finished.

Edit: Oops

One thing Debian introduced recently: apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs and they recommend that before a full dist-upgrade. I think it's made a pretty big difference in the upgrade smoothness, eliminating some possibly-breaking package upgrades.

edit: I say recently but I mean new-to-me

I haven't tried this, but maybe ssh -t "rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*deb" or something like to clear up some space would work.

[–] apprehensively_human@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This worked! I've got it running on a 4gb SD card so it's no wonder it ballooned, but once I got apt cleaned up it's now humming along at 83% usage.

Oh, yay! I'm a helper \o/

I have plenty of space, as the OS boots from a 256 GB SSD and a very minimal install. I may try to dist-upgrade after a backup.

[–] Engywuck@lemm.ee -2 points 2 years ago

As a followup, I just changed the repos and did the apt full upgrade. Everything works beautifully. But as I said, I had a very minimal headless install without any DE.

Ah, shit... The only way to update is to reimage/reinstall... It'll take a couple of days for me.

I don't get it. You could have probably maintained a Debian Sarge install and upgraded it all the way through to Bookworm. I'm kind of surprised they don't provide an upgrade path in place for Raspian when Debian can manage it.

"This time, because the changes to the underlying architecture are so significant, we are not suggesting any procedure for upgrading a Bullseye image to Bookworm; any attempt to do this will almost certainly end up with a non-booting desktop and data loss. The only way to get Bookworm is either to create an SD card using Raspberry Pi Imager, or to download and flash a Bookworm image from here with your tool of choice."

that is the same bs rpios says with every release. most likely they just don't want the forum with a bunch of people having ods issues.

I installed rpios on my pi400 three yrs ago then changed the Debian repos to Sid and updated. Been doing apt upgrade ever since with no problems.

It would be great if they provided more details. Are the issues specific to desktop usage? And to work around it, is it enough to start with a fresh home directory?

[–] tankplanker@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I did an in place upgrade to testing about a month ago on my PIs after running Bookworm on x86 VMs since it came out. Worked fine for me but my usage is pretty light compared to some as they are headless servers for me and I can rebuild really quickly if I had needed to from backups.

Today I had a shed load of updates per PI, about 160 packages so I guessed it had gone live.

Are all of the remaining LXDE programs going to be using XWayland? Or have they been ported by now?

[–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Why would they change the name instead of the version number? 🤦‍♂️

[–] library_napper@monyet.cc 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is that a name colission or is it based on Debian?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Based on Debian. I'm a bit confused though because I've been running a Bookworm-based version of the Raspberry Pi OS for some time (I switched from Bullseye maybe a year ago) because I thought that was the current version. Is this a second Bookworm-based release, or did I inadvertently jump the gun and run something that was pre-release until now? The Pis did receive some kind of big distribution upgrade this week, but it was from Bookworm to Bookworm.
