Sorry. I did read the thread on updating to 17.03 https://forums.mauilinux.org/showthread.php?tid=24301&page=2 but I didn't know if everything was the same. I was under the impression the update to 17.03 was a more significant update. So I was uncertain about a few things and wanted a step by step breakdown for clarity.
Is it simply a matter of activating the 2 repos and updating or do I need to go through all the steps indicated in the 17.03 update?
Primarily I had questions regarding these items:
Does updating to 17.06 require step 4
Does updating to 17.06 require step 9.

Quote:4. Run the command in a terminal (IMPORTANT)
sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/* && sudo apt-get update
Does updating to 17.06 require step 9.
Quote:9. Remove old sortinglaunchers & reinstall Plasma-Desktop
After the update manager finishes please close it and open up synaptic packagemanager.
Here you have to remove the old sortinglaunchers package.
maui-upgrade-mark-sortinglaunchers-removal
Hit Apply.
After the removal mark plasma-desktop and plasma-desktop-data for reinstallation.

Step 4 and 9 are not necessary.
Only activating the two backports repos is enough.

I finally got around to doing the update. Things seems to be working ok, but when I go to 'Info Center' > 'About System' I get a noticification stating:
When I check my repos, my system is still pointing to maui 17.03. Should that have updated to 17.06?
All I did to update was select the 2 backport repos and refreshed the updated manager as indicated earlier in this thread.
Please let me know if their is a good solution to this 'About System' issue.
Quote:'The shared library was not found'.
Possible reasons
*An error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module
* You have old third party module lying around.

Make sure to install the kcm-about-extended package for the about system to work again.
And yeah the repos are ok. We don't touch them at all.

I got a warning in Synaptic:
I saw the command 'sudo apt-get install -f' in a different thread. Running this command I did see I have some packages that could be removed. Would that do it?

I did the autoremove, but I still have broken packages and I am unable to install kcm-about-extended.
I think I'm also having trouble with Plymouth. My boot time seems slower and I no longer have any boot screen showing up. I am also unable change change my boot splash. I'm not sure if this is all related or not.

Take a look at the kcm-about-extended versions that you can install. Make sure to install the one from backports. (mentioned in other threads aswell already)
