Distribution upgrading

ayufan's builds are released quite frequently.

Upgrading to the latest greatest (and experimental) releases is quite simple:

  1. Uncomment pre-releases from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ayufan-rock64.list

  2. Perform dist-upgrade:

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

  3. If you are running a desktop environment or X11 setup, see the below note on X11.

  4. Reboot

X11 and older releases

When upgrading from older releases, some users have reported issues with X11 no longer starting. If you are upgrading an older (i.e. 0.5.x) release with a desktop environment, before rebooting the system it is advisable that you run the following command:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-armsoc

You may also want to check the contents of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory, and if 20-modesetting.conf is present, move or rename it. i.e. sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-modesetting.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-modesetting.disabled.

If you don't do this, there is a chance that X11 will crash on next boot, and you'll need to login to your system using a serial console or via SSH, and run the above commands. You should then be able to reboot your system and be greeted with a working X11 install again!
