Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: normal

I upgraded from Wheezy to Jessie using apt-get, following the instructions in
the release notes. The upgrade worked, but I experienced a number of problems
and bumps on the way, needed to fix various problems post-upgrade, and still
haven't figured some out.

1) I use rungetty via inittab with the --autologin option; this seems to have
stopped working (systemd related?)

2) xfce4-utils no longer exists in stable, so it was removed - and I lost
xfrun4. Took a bit of sleuthing to find that what I now need is
xfce4-appfinder. Perhaps some sort of transitional package should be
established? See also https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=793073 .

3) I did the upgrade in X. At some point during the process, X terminated and I
was dumped back at the console, and could have lost data. The notes are
ambiguous on whether upgrading in an xterm is acceptable - they initially
recommend a textmode virtual console, but subsequently imply that an xterm is
fine as long as one isn't using a display manager (which I wasn't - startx from
a virtual console).

4) I had to run several rounds of apt-get upgrade / dist-upgrade. A different
kernel was required, and when I rebooted (somewhere in between apt-get runs),
the system hung on starting bluetooth. The only way to continue the upgrade was
by entering recovery mode and disabling the bluetooth service.

5) Various things I don't particularly want got installed (NetworkManager,
PulseAudio).

6) On my old install, I had my ThinkPad mute button working properly. Now, it
toggles both 'Master' and 'Speaker' off, but only toggles 'Master back on,
requiring a manual toggling of 'Speaker'.

7) Iceweasel's used to look good under Wheezy. Many pages look quite ugly now
(pixelated, jagged). I can't describe exactly which pages or fonts.

There's probably more to say, but this is a start. Thanks much for all the hard
work on Debian!

Dear reporter,

Thanks for taking the time long ago to submit your upgrade report. I'm
closing these reports now because the Debian releases they were reported
against have reached their end-of-life (some long ago).

Unfortunately it's possible that the report I'm now closing may still
have relevant information for the current release (bullseye). If you
believe that's the case, don't hesitate to reopen the bug, retitle it
and provide further information and it will be seen during the current
freeze period of Debian.

Paul
