I couldn't wait :sweat:

But I had to verify the ISO with sha256 signatures...

I got the ISO & am going to wait till the weekend to first try the upgrade route, then if that doesnā€™t fix my non working default AMD driver issue, then do a full install. :wink:

Weird thing is, I had no problem using unetbootin & the ISO image on my flash drive, but Brasero (at the lowest burn speed) just wouldnā€™t burn my DVD-R disc properly (kept giving error messages), but XFBURN worked just fine at the lowest burn speed.

Hi @SantaFe,

please see this thread before you decide to try and install any AMD drivers!:

I did, but I only have the one graphics card, an (AMD/ATI) Caicos [Radeon HD 6450/7450/8450 R5 250 [OEM] that came with my 2006 Dell, so the open source drivers are fine. Was hoping the update would fix the open source problem, which it did! :wink:

I installed it last night and did a fresh install using my trusty "Something else method". The only problems I encountered were:

the package linux-firmware-nonfree wasn't in the repo? (I have a package (ver: 1.8) in my deb packages folder which solved that for me).

I cannot install Google Earth 64 bit version due to a lack of dependencies? (I will work on that!).

Everything else is working fine as far as I can tell!. :smiley:

You got me beat. I haven't even downloaded the ISO.

I have partitioning to do and for me it is easier to set up disks using gparted instead of the something else method :slight_smile:
