Largely following this guide, I first encountered a dist-upgrade error:
Code:
Processing triggers for python-support ...
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25-5.slh.1-sidux-686
cpio: ./etc/udev/rules.d/libmtp.rules: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25-5.slh.1-sidux-686
dpkg: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
So ran dpkg --configure -a
But got further errors:
Code:

Found that libmtp.rules is a link to /etc/udev/libmtp.rules
Code:
>ls -l /etc/udev/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 92 2008-03-17 23:56 hdparm.rules
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 77683 2009-07-23 16:09 libgphoto2.rules

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 269 2009-04-18 23:51 udev.conf
So added link from /etc/udev/libmtp.rules to point at /etc/udev/libmtp7.rules
Secondly, x didn't automatically startup at boot, had to reinstall nvidia drivers every time.
Code:

Solved this by uninstalling sidux-binary-gfx, used smxi to dist-upgrade and reinstalled graphics driver.
After that, I've only had minor annoyances like the large memory footprint of X, plasma and krunner. |
