| From: Tom Low-Shang via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | I don't use Ubuntu but a quick search indicates that | | sudo apt-get update | sudo apt-get upgrade | | and a reboot are necessary before running do-release-upgrade. | | Have you done those steps?
Yes, I had done this. Thanks for the suggestion. | From: Stefan Kloppenborg via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | | My understanding is that Canonical maintains two branches of releases. | The even numbers are the LTS releases, the odd are the other ones (I'm | not sure what they call them). When you're on a LTS version, | do-release-upgrade will by default only look for a newer LTS versions. | Similarly, when you're on an odd version, do-release-upgrade will only | look for another odd numbered version. You can override this behavior, | though. I recall seeing some instructions for doing this through the GUI | in the 20.04 release announcement a few weeks ago. Years ago, the even year . 04 versions seemed to only be blessed as "LTS" after a few months. So version upgrades would not happen until then. All releases were considered 6-month releases. As they were. Maybe that changed at some point. I cannot find any specific name for the non-LTS releases. Surely the term, if there were one, would show up in release notes. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EoanErmine/ReleaseNotes> | A quick internet search seems to indicate that to upgrade from 19.10 to | 20.04, you can run `update-manager -d`. The man pages indicate that | `do-release-upgrade` has the same flag. Probably -d is the thing. But the documentation for both commands says: -d, --devel-release Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is possible I'm pretty sure that I don't want to upgrade to the lastest devel release. There's also a -c for the update manager that seems relevant. It isn't available with do-release-upgrade, probably because it is implied: -c, --check-dist-upgrades Check if a new distribution release is available --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
