The usual:

mh-update-ubuntu
# (ensure all repos are working)
# reboot
# you can connect via direct proxmox shell (not ssh) but seems robust either way
sudo do-release-upgrade

fix up apt repos
fix up stow (esp. systemd stuff)
set up purdy rotating kitty term themes
reinstall slop if screenshots stopped working
reinstall pulseaudio to get media keys working again (why was it removed?)

sudo apt install pulseaudio-utils

fix brightness control on cobra

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apandada1/brightness-controller
sudo apt update
sudo apt install brightness-controller
brightness-controller&

Check the Ubuntu 24.04 upgrade for more detailed notes.

TODO

cast

fix gdm3 - if we don't set /etc/gdm3/custom.conf to AutomaticLogin, gdm3 hangs the entire machine - try it again after a few upgrades
