Re: [ubuntu-in] Upgrading directly to 10.04 LTS from 8.04LTS

[Saaz Rai]

I recommend that you do a fresh install as you'll not be able to enjoy the
full features of Lucid otherwise which includes EXT4, GRUB2 etc.

I'd go with mallikarjun (network upgrade helps a lot to preserve your dev
box if you are building deb packages IMO) and to upgrade better go with a
fresh install (because someone will have a remote chance of breaking
something with a new release! :D)

This is ridiculous!!! Don't every try that in your vaguest
imaginations/dreams. :P

I feel this is how you go about it (I donno if it works)

Open "Software Sources" --> Go to "Updates tab" --> at bottom you can
see show distribution release and select  "Long term support release"
over "Normal release"

And try Alt+F2 "update-manager -d"

*He is right, by upgrading, u need to reinstall the Software, but why u are
not using the latest version, because it will be more easy and no need to
put much time on it.*

Re: [ubuntu-in] Upgrading directly to 10.04 LTS from 8.04LTS

[ashish makani]

Hi Guys

I still welcome all your feedback.

But i really couldnt be more dumb...cant even google properly :)

This Ubuntu link describes upgrading from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades



You can easily upgrade over the network with the following procedure.

   1.

   *Press Alt-F2 and type **update-manager --proposed*
   2.

   Click the *Check* button to check for new updates.
   3.

   If there are any updates to install, use the *Install Updates* button to
   install them, and press *Check* again after that is complete.
   4. A message will appear informing you of the availability of the new
   release.
   5.

   Click *Upgrade*.
   6. Follow the on-screen instructions.

It's going on, as i type this.

Ubuntu ROCKS !

cheers
ashish

Hi,
With my little knowledge I will go for fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.4. In
that case you have install all the application you are using once again in
the newly installed..

anyway let's  wait for more reply. There may be some other way to do
it easily

[ubuntu-in] Upgrading directly to 10.04 LTS from 8.04LTS

[ashish makani]

Hi folks

On one of my university machines, we have an older Ubuntu version 8.04 LTS

I want to upgrade to the latest 10.04 release(lucid lynx).

I think  i have 2 options

*1. Using the update manager*

Is there a way to upgrade directly to 10.04 using Upgrade manager ?

When i run Update manager, it shows release 8.10 is available.
Do I have to upgrade, release by release,

8.04 ==> 8.10,
8.10 ==> 9.04
9.04 ==> 9.10,
& then 9.10 ==> 10.04

*2. Installing from CD ?*
*
*
The other option that i thought of is, burning the 10.04 iso on a cd/dvd , &
try to install from cd.


I am kind of a linux/ubuntu n00b & want to upgrade to 10.04 fast, with as
little effort as possible :)

Which one do you experience Ubuntu hackers  recommend ?

Are there other better ways ?

Advice/Links/Suggestions/Comments welcome

Best,
ashish
