What applications are removed when I upgrade to 12.04?

  • 772

What all will be removed whenever I upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04? I've heard rumors that Banshee and Tomboy are going to be removed. What else will be removed?

Also, are there any major applications that won't work whenever I upgrade?

Thanks everyone in advance!

    The release-upgrader will not remove banshee or tomboy unless you removed "universe" from your sources.list (e.g. via the Software Sources tool).

    In general it will not remove software unless there is a conflict or the software is no longer available.

  2. Tomboy and Banshee data aren't lost during the upgrade, only the application will be removed. FreeRDP and Remmina will replace rdesktop and vinagre. Rhythmbox will replace Banshee. Gbrainy and Tomboy will be removed. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-p-default-apps

    After the upgrade both applications will remain easily installable from the Ubuntu Software Center for those who prefer to use them.

  3. I asked Canonical support about this a few days ago. I noticed Banshee (replaced with Rhythmbox) and Vinagre had been removed. Here's the reply I got:

    Here are some links which should provide you with the information you are looking for:

    Part of the change was triggered during the discussion at Ubuntu UDS P Orlando ( 1.5GB DVD Image by default ).

  4. Before upgrading system Ubuntu will inform you that you need to delete a few applications, but you will be all the applications back into the system after first update from Update Manager. You should all stay the entire application (so at least I was).
