Hi There,
I’m glad to see theres a new version of the distro. I am currently running Netrunner 21, and was wondering what was the easiest upgrade route without having to reinstall from scratch. I keep it up to date and tried apt dist-upgrade but nothing popped up.
Thanks for keeping the distro alive
Fernando
Hi there @fernando
To update your Netrunner from 21.01 to 23, do the following.
Download the following program (netrunner-update-tool) from this URL: netrunner / Utilities / netrunner-update-tool · GitLab
This program was tested on a fresh installation.
An active internet connection is required.
As a precaution, create backups of your data.
Extract the archive anywhere, i.e., in the Downloads directory.
Then give the program executable permissions.
chmod +x ~/Downloads/netrunner-update-tool-main/netrunner-update-tool
Now open Konsole (preferably maximize the window), run the program, and follow the prompts.
~/Downloads/netrunner-update-tool-main/netrunner-update-tool
Before doing anything, it will ask you if you wish to continue.
If you say yes, the process will continue and ask you for confirmation on every step (this is intentional, and you only need to press Enter). So make sure that the process is not interrupted.
The program will ask for your password and proceed.
When asked if you want to replace the repository file for Steam, select N.
You will be asked about your keymap selection; select your desired option. Don’t touch keymap is the default.
When asked if you want to replace the configuration file for SDDM, select N.
When asked if you want to replace the configuration file for the Extended About KCM, select Y.
The program will let you know when it’s almost done.
When asked if you want to replace the configuration file for Plymouth, select Y.
Once it’s completed the update process, the system will reboot.
