Upgrade Testing Checklist

Once you have upgraded your Ubuntu system to a new version of the distribution, you didn't get any major errors during the upgrade, and your system boots, there are some things that you need to check in order to see if the upgrade went smoothly.

The aim of this page is to create a list of things that can be checked after an upgrade.

Sound

• The system sound works correctly
• If you were able to play MP3 files before the upgrade, you should be able to play them now

Network

• If you had network connection before the upgrade, it should work now out of the box

Video drivers

• If you were using a proprietary driver (nvidia, fglrx), your system boots with those drivers enabled
• If you were able to use 3D capabilities before the upgrade, you should be able to use them now (check with Compiz or 3D Games)
• If you had the Visual Effects enabled (Compiz) they should be enabled as well after the upgrade

Customizations

• If you were using a theme other than the default one, it should be the same once upgraded
