Am I being served a beta release of 13.10?

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 380 / 2 Years ago, fri, february 4, 2022, 2:07:03

Today, I followed the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SaucyUpgrades (Ubuntu Desktops 13.04 to 13.10). When I got to step #6, the release notes popped up, and the first two lines said:

Welcome to the Ubuntu 'Saucy Salamander' development release

This is still a BETA release. Do not install it on production
machines.

Is my system trying to get outdated files, or is is safe to ignore those notes?

The problem here is that the message has not been updated already. The files are the official 13.10 release but since the message still shows the previous text (when it was Beta) it shows like that to any users that tries to update.

The same thing happened with 12.10 to 13.04 and 12.04 to 12.10. If you do wait about a day (up to a week) the message should change to "Welcome to the Ubuntu 'Saucy Salamander'".

Give it time while the developers work on this "high priority" bug ;). It confused me too until I updated.
