[Dxspider-support] Upgrading Ubuntu killed DXspider

[Ciemon Dunville]

Thanks Kin,

I did use Yiannis' script and ended up with a system that wasn't running,
so moved on to the next how-to. Having had success with the DXSpider wiki I
now have a better understanding of why Yiannis' script didn't work for me.

Thank you for your dxspider upgrade script, that'll be useful in the
future, but what happened here is that the OS was updated rather than
dxspider. DXspider starts and runs manually, but none of the automatic
processes work, it doesn't start on re-boot, or connect to nodes so I
suspect that the Ubuntu system has changed between 22 and 24.

I have to say, there are a lot of how-tos out there, which seem to be out
of date. The wiki seems to be a great place for the community to keep
things focused and relevant.

Thanks everyone.
