Bug Description
cdromupgrade can't be run from the alternate Gutsy install CD as described ate the bottom of this page:
http://
The CD gets auto-mounted as "Ubuntu 7.10 i386" and not as 'cdrom'.
Trying to run the cdromupgrade script causes the following error:
tolan@thome:~$ sudo sh /media/Ubuntu\ 7.10\ i386/cdromupgrade
[: 23: 7.10: unexpected operator
tar: /media/Ubuntu: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: 7.10: Not found in archive
tar: i386/dists/
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Could not find the upgrade application in the archive, exiting
Workaround is to remount the cdrom manually on /media/cdrom as detailed in this thread (7th post):
http://
The naming of the cd also seems to stop it being detected in software-sources, although that might be caused by something else.
Did anyone actually test the cdromupgrade script before release? :p

Oops also. The popup after detecting a distro cd doesn't come up either, which is why I did it manually. I also see that I didn't do it exactly as described in the upgrade instructions, so here is the result doing it that way:
tolan@thome:~$ gksu "sh /cdrom/ cdromupgrade"
tolan@thome:~$
Obviously no result as the CD isn't mounted on /cdrom
tolan@thome:~$ gksu "sh /media/Ubuntu\ 7.10\ i386/cdromupgrade"
