First it stalled during the upgrade with a package called "wvdial". I googled it, and it turned out to just be a modem dialer. I have not used a modem for 10 years, so I just did a "ps -A" to find it, and a "kill". Then the install continued without any more problems.
After the install everything seemed to run fine, but I noticed something off with the video display. Windows where not scaling smoothly and video clips played where choppy and had lower framerates when they where resized or fullscreen.
After another bit of googling about my ATI graphics adapter I found a tip to remove xserver-glx. I needed xserver-glx under Gibson to make that run smoothly. But apparently not under Heron. So now I have working video and a smooth desktop.
My custom and buildout based Python/Plone stuff continued to work, which was my major worry.
All in all a very pleasant experience for such a major upgrade.
It turned out that I was a bit premature:
Java is broken in Firefox 3. I use it mostly for netbanking. But that is pretty important. So I just spend an hour reinstalling firefox 2 and then had to:
cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Then I could use my netbanking again.
Turned out that Eclipse broke too
I had quickly started and stopped eclipse, so I thought it worked. But it turned out that it crashed every time it tried to "build workspace".
I renamed the workspace in my home dir and created a new one with Eclipse. The new one did not crash. So I can manually add my projects and keep working. Worst part is that at lost my font settings etc.
