<br>
This upgrade process described here will only work for packages
that are available as deb files. <br>
So Java applications will not be upgraded at all.<br>
<br>
This is why I have been pushing to switch to deb only setup for
the next versions of OSGeoLive...<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Alex Hi list,
thank you for your reply, how the ubuntu update process is working I
already have a plan and I'm not totally new to it. I'll give it a try by
updating to ubuntu to 12.04 first and then change the repos in
sources.list.d to the files fond on the osgeo live DVD and run updates
again to update the geo software.
Do this may break configurations, like changes passwords (e.g. for the
geoserver)?
Best Regards,
Andreas

<pre wrap="">Hello list,
I have a small installed version of osgeo live 5.0 and we would like to
update it to version 7.0
is there a way to do this on the running version without the need to do a
clean install from a 7.0 DVD and then put all data back on the new
installation?
Any insight or hint would be very appreciated.
Greetings from Germany

It is possible but could be a big pain. The first thing is that you'll
need to run is an Ubuntu upgrade, to get your version of Ubuntu up to 12.04
You could try putting the OSGeo Live 7.0 DVD in and see if it wants you
to upgrade from that.
Even after you do the Ubuntu upgrade, you'll also need to upgrade all
the non-default geospatial packages. This may require you to edit the
apt sources in /etc/sources.lists.d/ to point at updated repos.
So yes it is possible but you'll need to be willing to learn a bit about
how Ubuntu upgrades and PPAs work. FYI you should backup your file to an
external drive anyways.
Let us know if you need help finding more information.
Thanks,
Alex
