The Ubuntu team is proud to announce the Release Candidate for version 6.06
LTS of Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu - codenamed "Dapper Drake". The Release
Candidated includes installable live Desktop CDs, server images, alternate
text-mode installation CDs and an upgrade wizard for users of the current
stable release.

We consider this release candidate complete, stable and suitable for testing
by any user. We would especially recommend that current Ubuntu 5.10 ("Breezy
Badger") users and developers use the upgrade procedure described below.

6.06 LTS will be the first Ubuntu release with long-term support: three
years on the desktop, and five years on the server.


Upgrade information for Ubuntu and Edubuntu 5.10 ("Breezy Badger") users
------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Make sure you have good bandwidth since the upgrade requires
that you download several hundred megabytes of new packages!

* Because this is the Release Candidate, you need to invoke the
update manager explicitly. To do this, press Alt-F2 (or open
a Terminal using Applications -> Accessories ->Terminal)

gksudo "update-manager -d"

This step will not be necessary on the final release.

* Make sure you are up to date - click the "Check" button. If you
are connected to the network the update manager should now tell
you about the 6.06 LTS ("Dapper Drake") release

* Further information about this upgrade procedure is given at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades

Upgrade information for Kubuntu 5.10 ("Breezy Badger") users
------------------------------------------------------------

* In Adept go to Manage Repositories and change "breezy" to "dapper"

* Click "Fetch Updates"

* Click "Full Upgrade"

* Click "Commit"

在某一个版本的 fglrx 安装的情况下 。升级安装存在一个很严重的bug。 会导致升级过程失败，系统重启动后不能进入GUI环境。
报错信息 ： Bug#361767: xlibmesa-gl: Cannot create libGL.so.1.2: "No such file"
这个关于这个bug的有关讨论
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=327641

临时解决方法：
The problem was that the diverted path /usr/share/fglrx/diversions/
didn't existed so installation crashed. After creating it manually
(mkdir /usr/share/fglrx/diversions/), the installation went on smoothly.

$ sudo mkdir /usr/share/fglrx/diversions/
$ sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade -f
