Shalom alex1982,

Experienced systems administrators will tell you:

1) Do not use update-ux. Do a cold install and then re-install all your applications.

2) Take an Ignite backup before you start, in case you need to reference configuration files.

Output from the model command will be helpful in providing further assistance.

Re: Upgrade from B11.23 to B11.31

Or better still, use DRD to clone your running OS, then update either the origional or the clone. If it all goes wrong, you can simply reboot to the other copy withoput having to re-install from your ignite recovery copy
