Upcoming Debian 9 Update (9.4)

#1 Post by None1975 »

An update to Debian 9 is scheduled for Saturday, March 10th, 2018. As of now it will include the following bug fixes. They can be found in "stretch-proposed-updates", which is carried by all official mirrors. Please note that packages published through security.debian.org are not listed, but will be included if possible. Some of the updates below are also already available through "stretch-updates". Testing and feedback would be appreciated. Bugs should be filed in the Debian Bug Tracking System, but please make the Release Team aware of them by copying "debian-release@lists.debian.org" on your mails.

wow!! this is exciting!!

Stretch 9.3.0 is still installed in sda on the ResearchBox. It is partitioned with / /swap and /home partitions. I should be able to load this as a replacement for the 9.3.0 that is on sda now.

It would be interesting though if an apt-get full-upgrade is all that is needed as this is just replacing 9.30 with 9.4

I've only just migrated to Debian from LMDE2 last month so I'm still really learning the ropes here.

Thx, for informing us. That's exactly the date I want it come.
I've take a break polishing packages for 3 days by now.

9.4 is just a minor release, it's 99,9999% chance that nothing will break after normal upgrade. When it comes to updates, Debian is different from other distros. Even major release upgrades are very reliable.
With that said, there is nothing exicing about this release apart from newer kernel (that you already got via security updates) and few important bugfixes.

Yes, exactly. Apt update, apt upgrade and apt full-upgrade.

Yes, exactly. Apt update, apt upgrade and apt full-upgrade.
interesting

it would seem that using apt is a bit different from using apt-get

from the Debian Handbook it seems apt is "the right way to do the upgrade

excerpt
For more important upgrades, such as the change from one major Debian version to the next, you need to use apt full-upgrade. With this instruction, apt will complete the upgrade even if it has to remove some obsolete packages or install new dependencies.
Unlike apt and aptitude, apt-get doesn't know the full-upgrade command. Instead, you should use apt-get dist-upgrade (”distribution upgrade”), the historical and well-known command that apt and aptitude also accept for the convenience of users who got used to it.
from the man page for apt:
full-upgrade performs the function of upgrade but will remove currently installed packages if this is needed to
upgrade the system as a whole.
the above suggests full-upgrade should do the whole job -- ?

Code: Select all

apt update
apt upgrade
Just.This. No need for complicating easy stuff.

Code: Select all

apt full-upgrade
in Debian is used to upgrade from one major version to the other (example from Debian 8 to 9)

Mike, here's a video of my 9.1-9.2 upgrade so you know what to expect, and so that you can see how simple the process is in Debian.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QnldXkOLAY

Notice that I use

Code: Select all

sudo apt full-upgrade
since I have always used full-upgrade out of habit. I didn't know that apt upgrade was sufficient. So I've learned something in this thread - thanks None/Wheeler.

rebuild the ISO...... hmmmm

how about Firefox V.58, and LibreOffice 5.4 ?

and include Oracle/Virtualbox?

I just got VirtualBox installed here and got my appliance imported.
I'm using it for this message

the "appliance" -- is a Win8.1 system. it didn't even complain that I was running it on a different machine. I'm not, really: same MoBo different sd

Re: Upcoming Debian 9 Update (9.4)

#20 Post by mike acker »

Reflecting

"Time waits for no one", or so I'm told. And this is a significant factor in my recent work with the "Straight" Debian 9.

I rely on Oracle/VirtualBox to support certain apps that I have to run in Windows: TurboTax, Epson V500/V700 scanners, Photoshop/Elements, Canon DPP

LMDE/2 is Jessie related. Last time I tried to apply the update to OracleBox it rejected: wrong version. On checking: the downloaded update was for Stretch. Not applicable to the Jessie based OS

no activity on the MINT board.

This is when I downloaded the Debian 9.30+non-free option and updated my "Straight" Debian system. This all went rather well and I continued working with it. Yesterday I completed the update to the Oracle/VirtualBox package. As usual, I forgot to add myself to Vboxusers and couldn't connect a USB device (Epson V500) until I rectified my Error of Omission. And, of course, install the Epson driver package. Packages, actually, for the V500 and V700 scanners and also the WF-4630 printer. Epson is good about providing Linux drivers. What's that command we are supposed to issue after installing a driver ? CRS. I just re-booted the box; after that the Linux scanner software kicked in and then when I got myself added to vboxusers the Windows Epson Scanner package connected.

The Epson scanner package is necessary if you want to scan negs. or slides. Just plain flat-bed scanning doesn't work when the source is transparencies.

after this little run I went back and switched the default drive in the MoBo boot options list.

I'm a Debian 9 user now.

:D

Elsewhere I see some posts fussing over teething troubles with the new RYZEN chips and related MoBo chipsets. Looks to me like these systems are really needing kernel 4.14 or better.

By this time next year I hope to be putting Debian 10 on the Research box and moving on to kernel 4.14. At some point we will all want to move on to the next generation of chips. We need to put the troubles with speculative execution behind us. While we're at it we need a little added transparency: we need to be able to read the status of the "Management Engine" -- and apply control to same. Hopefully that's "in the cards" for us, too.
