    • Bionic it seems deprecated encrypted homes so you won't be able to login graphically after upgrading, installing encryptfs-utils semi fixes this however it is apparently not very reliable now
    • 27-06-27: not found any issues with encrypted home yet everything seems to be working ok so far
    • 29-06-2018: now noticed this error in dmesg on each boot, still seems to mount home ok though, anyone else seeing this?
      • [ 33.378048] Could not find key with description: [01521d6d47952845]
      • [ 33.378067] process_request_key_err: No key
      • [ 33.378068] Could not find valid key in user session keyring for sig specified in mount option: [01521d6d47952845]
      • [ 33.378089] One or more global auth toks could not properly register; rc = [-2]
      • [ 33.378089] Error parsing options; rc = [-2]
    • 28-06-2018: also just to note that release is currently broken, so if you haven't updated since yesterday you might want to avoid doing so for a bit
    • 29-06-2018: bionic usable again

    • KDE Neon User Edition 5.13
    • UEFI
    • No
    • Upgrade installed successfully
    • Xenial repositories are disabled, yet still listed in Discover, which could cause some confusion.

    • KDE Neon Developer Stable Edition
    • Bios
    • No
    • Upgrade installed successfully
    • no problems, except that in /etc/lsb-release is DISTRIB_ID=neon (again) instead of DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu which breaks adding a ppa with add-apt-repository

    • Neon User Edition - KDE 5.13.1
    • UEFI
    • YES
    • Upgrade successful
    • updating packages after upgrade caused the same issues as seen by Kenny D with encryptfs-util and 'Could not find valid key in user session keyring for sig specified in mount option' - Currently unusable.
      • 2018-07-01 - completed another apt upgrade and reboot previous issues all resolved.

    • Neon User Edition
    • BIOS
    • Secureboot not enabled
    • Problems
    • After upgrade finished and asked me to reboot I am seeing "Could not start kdeinit5. Check your installation" and nothing works. Photo: https:// photos.app.goo.gl/nw9G7iUeBEjx6BQg9

    • 2018-07-07
    • Neon User Edition
    • UEFI
    • Secureboot not enabled
    • Problems
      • In the boot's beginning, I had the message "error, no symbol table". Fixed : I rebuilded grub on /etc/sdb and not /etc/sda, sda is my windows partition
      • Like René, in /etc/lsb-release is DISTRIB_ID=neon (again) instead of DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu which breaks adding a ppa with add-apt-repository
      • After upgrade and the reboot I am seeing "Could not start kdeinit5. Check your installation". Fixed: I purged the nvidia driver with apt (sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-*) , and install nvidia-390 (sudo apt install nvidia-390) from oibaf/graphics-drivers/ppa (maybe the repository "graphics-drivers" would be sufficient, I don't know)
      • Firefox and chromium didn't launch : "libwayland-egl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory." Fixed: with "sudo apt-get install libwayland-egl1" (this library replace the libwayland-egl1-mesa)
