Hello!

I'm considering upgrading my Linux system from Linux Mint 18.3 to Linux Mint 19.1. Is there anything I need to do with the Seti program on my system before I upgrade? Or will all the information transfer over to the new version?

Thanks in advance,

Michael Rabasa

As far as what I've read there should no issues. I thought maybe it had too new a kernel but it looks like it ships with 4.15 which is fine. That is what is in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS which a lot of people have been running for a long time with no issues. I read in other project forums of issue with the newest 5.0 kernel. So I checked here https://linuxmint.com/rel_tessa_cinnamon_whatsnew.php You should be fine.

I am running SuSE linux Tumbleweed development version with kernel 5.0.2 on a Virtual Machine on a Windows 10 host and I find no problem with Einstein@home tasks. Unfortunately the 7.14.2 Boinc Manager does not work in Tumbleweed while it worked in Leap 15.0, so I cannot run SETI@home and other projects. Leap was updated by SuSE to Tumbleweed without any warning, it seemed only an update of 15.0.
