Update to Ubuntu 9.04 (code name "Jaunty Jackalope")

I just followed the network upgrade instructions for Ubuntu Desktops (Recommended) and accepted the default values for the questions I was asked by the update tool (e.g. disable the proprietary display driver and use the default open source driver instead). Everything went smoothly.

Afterwards I enabled the third party repositories again:

  • http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free
  • http://linux.getdropbox.com/ubuntu jaunty main
  • http://packages.medibuntu.org/ jaunty free non-free
The dropbox demon wasn't running, I had to install it again with

dropbox start -i

I realized that my backup python script using rsync didn't work any more, so that I had to install it again with:

~/Documents/Programming/Python_scripts/backup_daily$ sudo python setup.py install

Afterwards, I could enjoy the improvements and new features of Ubuntu 9.04
