Title: Change noticed in how 23.10 points to the Ubuntu Repo's for Mantic
Post by: mahesh on Oct 20, 2023, 05:50 AM
I have been testing the daily's for Mantic and keeping some instances persistent to test them on the updates.

I am a part of some Bug reports on the new Flutter Installer for 23.04 on, as well as a question on launchpad and an issue at the ubuntu-desktop-installer GitHub. Things that I think need to be corrected before 24.04 LTS.

*** What many do not realize here yet... In the system layout, not the installer itself.

On updates of the persistent images I would get errors that the release key for using the cdrom repo was no longer valid. The key was dated as 2012, and /etc/apt/sources.list only had one line, pointing to the ISO. I added a sources.list in the format of the previous releases.

On update, I then got an error of duplicate entries in the sources. That is when I noticed the layout change... I commented out all the lines of /etc/apt/sources.list and it was fine.

They changed how /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ is laid out, and how it now points to the Ubuntu Repo's. They moved the contents of the sources.list to sources.list.d. Software & Updates, when you check the checkboxes now points to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources

I think we should share that change with members that will be supporting 23.10 on in the General and Installation & Updates Sections so they are aware of it.
