Direct upgrade target:
RELEASE_ID=v07 · PACKAGE_VERSION=107.0.0-1 · desktop 10.10.2-1ubuntu4.1+gm107.Before you begin
- Back up important documents and personal files.
- Connect to reliable power and a stable internet connection.
- Close running applications.
- Keep the Terminal open until the helper reports completion.
Install the signed upgrade helper
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fsSL \
https://mr-richardson.com/gmlinux/apt/gm-upgrade \
-o /tmp/gm-upgrade
sudo install -m 0755 /tmp/gm-upgrade /usr/local/sbin/gm-upgrade
Run the direct v07 migration
sudo gm-upgrade v07
sudo reboot
Preserve a custom Budgie panel
Use this migration command when the existing panel arrangement must be retained:
sudo gm-upgrade v07 --preserve-panel
sudo reboot
The signed helper installs the v07 APT suite, migration package 107.0.0-1, and desktop +gm107 while retaining Ubuntu security-update compatibility and package protection for Galactic Mandate-owned components.
Check manually in NF Control Center
Open NF Control Center, select UPDATES, and press CHECK. The manual check authenticates the signed release record and compares the installed system with the current v07 channel.
What the upgrade cannot change
Installed systems only: the helper does not rewrite an ISO file or USB drive. For new media, download the direct v07 ISO, verify its checksum, and recreate the USB.
Verify after reboot
cat /etc/galactic-mandate-release
apt-cache policy galactic-mandate-desktop
Expected result: RELEASE_ID=v07, PACKAGE_VERSION=107.0.0-1, and desktop candidate 10.10.2-1ubuntu4.1+gm107.
If the upgrade was interrupted
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo gm-upgrade v07
