How can I switch my train to nightlies? I want to try a newer version but am unable to. When I download the update iso to upload it fails every time
Answering the actual question, and in the spirit of learning and making your own choices (I mean you are running an alpha after all), you can download the update file in the location listed
here, go to system settings, update, install manual update and point at the file you downloaded. After that reboot. From there you will be on the nightly train and updates will come through thick and fast.
You will need to choose a storage location that the update get's uploaded to first. I just use memory because I've got heaps, probably still works on a lower specced machine.
However as an aside, there hasn't been anything obvious that I've seen that requires you to run nightly, unless maybe if you plan to use docker. This is because presently you cannot edit your docker settings via the GUI unless you upgrade to nightly. It's possible this fix has been added to the alpha but I'm not aware of it - someone may correct me.
And finally there's no such thing as a dumb question, so please don't be scared to ask or start a new thread. I'm learning too!
Good luck!
