[64studio-devel] Upgrading 2.1 to Lenny

[Toni Haapanen]

Hi,

I followed Free's instructions and i managed to upgrade 2.1 to Lenny. 
Thanks! I have AMD-64.

I think (!) i told during installation not to replace 
/etc/security/limits.conf, but after the upgrade previous settings were 
lost. I had to add my old settings to limits.conf (and then log out - 
log in) in order to be able to open jack. Before this jack only worked 
when running it as root.

I was not able to install 64-studio-themes. Error message:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/64studio-themes_2.1_all.deb: trying to 
overwrite `/usr/share/applications/qsynth.desktop', which is also in 
package qsynth

Else, everything went fine. Ardour (2.4.1) did not disappear, but if i 
remember correctly, i had built it from source.

Good work.

Greetings,
Toni
