DIY, build your upgrade to Ecne tool
Hello!
Here's a small present for early testers and maybe not so early too.
If you would like to test and possibly upgrade your Aramo to Ecne, this might be a start, so you get closer to T12 before the year ends.
So please test this out and let me know how it works for you.
https://gitlab.trisquel.org/trisquel/package-helpers/-/issues/245
Please, as always, be careful with your data, and only do early testing on safe environments like a non-production VM, secondary / old machines.
If we have reports of successful upgrades, then we can trust more serious machines. Full disclosure, I've been using Ecne since the early development stage, so I don't have production machine to test the upgrade.
Ecne is very well stable, we only lack the proper launch announcement from our project leader :)
Regards and happy holidays and GNU year.

I wanted to help and try this script,
but my mirror is out of service today.
https://quantum-mirror.hu/mirrors/pub/trisquel/packages aramo
sorry
Gottfried
after changing the mirror I run the script again
and it needed 7 min to download 2,15 Gb by max 7,7 Mb download speed
and 75 min to install Triskel 12.
at the end of the installation I was asked to delete the old files.
I pressed d
and it showed me the files for deleting
but I was not able to come back
in not knowing which key to press.
I pressed contr+d
which was wrong.
but Triskel 12 was installed anyway in restarting the VM luckily
which key should I have used to come back to the updating in the terminal_
Gottfried
There was no need to use "Ctrl", just d for details.
There is no key to come back, Ctrl+D is interpreted as "exit", so the shell is closed / terminated.
You can do
sudo apt autoremove
To clean remaining packages.
Glad that it worked :)
Cheers!
yes, it worked very well, it run smoothly through everything without interruption.
it installed Ecne. You and others did a great job. thanks
after the end it asked me if I want to delete the old packages.
It warned me that it can take hours.
it gave me two options: to accept it or to check which packages would be deleted with d
that´s why, because of the warning, I wanted to check the packages
after checking the packages
there was no possibility to go on, at least it didn´t give me any option.
so I didn´t know how to come back and finish the installation.
Would the q (for quit) help? or what should I have done in this situation?
Later, after rebooting, I used
sudo apt autoremove to remove the old packages
and it went quit quick,
I thought, may be quicker than in the installation process.
That's partially true, i would say.
The flashy trisquel themes is one reason people use it,
the other is freedom
