  • Partial Success
  • 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
    • https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecryptfs-utils/+bug/1756840
    • https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029249/how-to-encrypt-home-on-ubuntu-18-04
  • 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
  • 25-07-2018: switched over from release to user with no problems

  • KDE Neon User
  • UEFI
  • NO
  • Upgrade installed succcessfully
  • Same problem as Kenny D above - I have an encrypted /home- Could not login to desktop, installing ecrypts-utils fixed the issue. No other issues found

• Louis Weddall
  • 2018-06-25
  • 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.

• René Fritz
  • 2018-06-28
  • 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

• Jakeir
  • 2018-06-28
  • 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.

• Lukas N

  • 2018-07-05
  • 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

• Thibaut FRANCOIS
  • 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)
