Upgrading from existing respin installation

[bitjockey42]

First off, thank you for this project. It got me up and running quickly.

I was just wondering if I can safely upgrade to 18.04 from an existing install of this respin. Would I just need to re-run the scripts called by the docker build (Eg wrapper-*.sh) and/or manually do what’s being done in build.sh?

Hi @0x414A I installed the 17.10 version about two months ago, and updated recently to 18.04 without any special things. just the default ubuntu way. So far I had no issues

@mitelg did you had the issues related to power consumption and shutdown on intel?

@0x414A The update should be fine, i will try to put together a simple "update" script to check/keep everything updated with latest tricks and fix even after release-upgrades

@stockmind how do I check, if I'm on Intel? I can't really give information about the power consumption, because most of the time, the power cord is connected.

@stockmind any progress on the "update" script?

Something like this should work: https://gist.github.com/stockmind/bf8feec14712dd192b964109b4ea3b19 You need to save and run inside the root of this repository (same level of "build.sh" script)

Call this with "-c bionicbeaver" parameter on 18.04.

It's not tested, be careful, i've just put together the steps i do for the respin,

I need to test this in a VM and i will do it ASAP.

This also resets the GRUB configuration to a working one. Comment out that part if yout don't want/need it.

If you want to try to follow the steps and report i will appreciate it!:)

Did you guys upgraded and used @stockmind's script? Currently hesitating to do a sudo apt dist-upgrade and full upgrade.
