<h2><span class="mw-headline"
id="Upgrading_from_previous_OpenMandriva_Lx_Releases">Upgrading
from previous OpenMandriva Lx Releases</span></h2>
<p>If you do NOT receive an upgrade notification from the <b>Online
Update</b> applet, you may have to update your system.
</p>
<p>If <code>mdkapplet</code> crashes trying to upgrade, you may
have to update the packages on your system first.
</p>
<p>If you still do not receive a notification (we may not have
pushed it to all systems) or wish to do a manual upgrade,
you may step through the following procedure.
</p>
<p><b>As root, run the following commands:</b>
</p>
<pre>urpmi.removemedia -a
</pre>
<pre>urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist '<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://downloads.openmandriva.org/mirrors/openmandriva.3.0.ARCH.list">http://downloads.openmandriva.org/mirrors/openmandriva.3.0.ARCH.list</a>'
</pre>
<p>Substitute <code>ARCH</code> with your architecture, e.g. <code>i586</code>
or <code>x86_64</code>.
</p>
<p>Then run the following commands:
</p>
<pre>urpmi --auto --auto-select --replacefiles 2>&1 | tee /root/upgrade.log</pre>
<p>Reboot when completed. The upgrade log is stored in <code>/root/upgrade.log</code>.
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Which either needs to be edited to something that actually works
or changed to recommend fresh install. Otherwise we're in for a
lot of complaints and a world of hurt.<br>

I haven't seen the tool yet have you? I have had no response
from bero, he must be on holiday.
<br>
The trouble is that I am away for this weekend for a
birthday treat so I can't help.
<br>
Can you and Xu_R perhaps get together and write something?
If I remember rightly you know what is needed.
<br>
Best,

and what about the 2014.2-> Lx3.0 migration tool?
<br>
someone tested that?
<br>
is not it better to recommend a fresh install?
<br>
mdkonline will advise for a new release?
