Upgrading from Ubuntu 18.04, 18.10, or 19.04 to 19.10 requires a little extra work as a breaking change was introduced to the GNOME code that integrates with i3.
- If the standard Ubuntu session is not installed, install it:
$ sudo apt install ubuntu-session
. (If you have it already installed this should cause no harm.) - Perform the upgrade to 19.10.
- After rebooting, log into the stock Ubuntu session, not Regolith.
- Re-add the PPA, as the installation process removed it:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kgilmer/regolith-stable
- Upgrade Regolith to the latest version:
$ sudo apt upgrade
- Reboot, and now select the Regolith session at the login screen.
- Perform the upgrade to 19.10 but do not reboot after it is finished.
- Locate the PPA's
.list
file in/etc/apt/sources.list.d/
directory.
It's name should bekgilmer-ubuntu-regolith-stable<release name>.list
- Edit the
.list
file (with sudo) and remove the heading#
from the line beginning with 'deb'. The contents should be:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kgilmer/regolith-stable/ubuntu eoan main # disabled on upgrade to eoan
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kgilmer/regolith-stable/ubuntu eoan main
- Perform update and upgrade to get Eoan version of Regolith packages:
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
- Reboot and select the Regolith session at the login screen.
NOTE: Some users have reported that regolith-desktop
is automatically uninstalled during the upgrade. If this happens, simply run sudo apt install --reinstall regolith-desktop
after the upgrade completes to restore the Regolith desktop session.
Since most of this wiki content was created, a new site for Regolith was created. This wiki content was written for Regolith 1.2 but most of it still applies to 1.3. However, it is suggested to first check if the information you are looking for is here.
