Chapter3. Upgrading DGX OS Desktop
Software on DGX Station
Updates to DGX OS Desktop software are made available through standard Ubuntu
repositories and are available from several sources. You are responsible for upgrading the
software on the DGX Station to install the updates from these sources.
Upgrading DGX OS Desktop software can involve upgrading within the same major DGX OS
Desktop release or to a new major DGX OS Desktop release.
‣
Upgrading within the same major release upgrades between two DGX OS Desktop
releases with the same first digit in their release identifiers, for example, from 3.1.6 to
3.1.7. Upgrading within the same major release of DGX OS Desktop upgrades all the
packages to the latest version in the repositories for that release.
‣
Upgrading to a new major release upgrades between two DGX OS Desktop releases with
different first digits in their release identifiers, for example, from DGX OS Desktop 3.1.7 to
4.0.4. Upgrading to a new major DGX OS Desktop release upgrades all the packages to the
latest version in the repositories for the new DGX OS Desktop release.
For details about the available updates, see Available DGX Station Software Updates. These
updates may contain important security updates. To protect your DGX Station, keep your
system up to date with the latest important security updates. For information about security
updates for the Ubuntu OS, see Ubuntu Security Notices (https://usn.ubuntu.com/).
