Ubuntu 24.04 upgrade

• FFS You must use 24.04.1, any older version is NOT OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED and there will not be a direct path from 22.04.x. Idiots were supposed to have it ready 2024/08/15 but bugs pushed that to 2024/08/29.

• Ensure all repos are available

curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg add -

  • exit i3, boot into Gnome
  • hit Alt, type Software Updater, go through options to upgrade

• Or to try from the command line anyway:

sudo apt install update-manager
sudo update-manager &

• these were replaced (i put old ones in ~/backup/) and need review:

/etc/systemd/networkd.conf
/etc/sudoers
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
/etc/i3/config
/etc/i3/config.keycodes

After fixing networkd.conf, you should restart the service, but that isn't enough, you need to disconnect from wired and reconnect to wired before changes are applied.

/etc/i3/config.keycodes has some newer foo that I need to vet against my i3 config. Esp this:

# Start XDG autostart .desktop files using dex. See also

exec --no-startup-id dex --autostart --environment i3
