Hello,
I've got my Ubuntu server running now with 10.04 LTS.
One of my manuals on using Ubuntu mentions a gui setting under 'Software
sources - updates' for 'Release upgrade: Show new distribution
releases' - 'Long term support releases only' (was referencing version
8.04lts in this book however).
This setting is so version stays at the LTS version.
Does anyone know where to set this without a gui interface as when I get
updates I want this server to stay on the LTS version?
Or have I got it wrong and nothing can change unless I run
'do-release-upgrade' manually?
I don't think it will update to a new release unless you specifically
tell it to. But also I think you can edit
/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=lts
# Default behavior for the release upgrader.
[DEFAULT]
# Default prompting behavior, valid options:
#
# never - Never check for a new release.
# normal - Check to see if a new release is available. If more than one new
# release is found, the release upgrader will attempt to upgrade to
# the release that immediately succeeds the currently-running
# release.
# lts- Check to see if a new LTS release is available. The upgrader
# will attempt to upgrade to the first LTS release available after
# the currently-running one. Note that this option should not be
# used if the currently-running release is not itself an LTS
# release, since in that case the upgrader won't be able to
# determine if a newer release is available.
Prompt=lts
