My Ubuntu 11.04 installation refuses to perform updates for the past month.
I decided to upgrade to 12.04 LTS. I have a separate partition for /home.
How can I upgrade without losing my programs and data?
The update manager does not show anything as possible upgrade.
My upgrade manager prompted me for an upgrade to 12.10 from 12.04. So, clicked on upgrade. It has been 4+ hours now and the system is still trying to upgrade. The progress bar is still at around 10%. So, it may take more than 24 hours to upgrade. This compared to a clean build which might have taken less than an hour.
Do I have to go to System-Administration-Update Manager and click on Upgrade to upgrade to 11.04, or can I directly install 12.10 from the DVD?
Will I loose my documents in the process? I never upgraded from an already installed Ubuntu.
Thanks
12.04 64-bit on my laptop, keeps telling me to upgrade, telling me to close my apps and press OK to upgrade. But I don't want to upgrade. How do I get it to stop?
When I run Update Manager I keep getting this message.
Currently using 11.10 on a new dell vostro 2420 laptop and wanted to upgrade to 12.04.01lte.
Using the update manager and clicking the upgrade option first came up with a 'failure to authenticate' message and after a restart of the computer I click the upgrade and it will download 2 files then the popup closes and no further prompts/screens come up.
I am running 11.10 on my PC. The Update Manager once indicated that I could upgrade to 12.04 LTS. However, clicking the upgrade button made the update manager unresponsive and I had to force quit the app. The next time I started the app, it showed me all the updates except for 12.04. Is there anyway I can upgrade to 12.04??
So I finally checked to see if I could upgrade to 12.04.1 through the update manager and it's there saying I can upgrade. I already upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04 so I'm thinking about going to 12.04. This is, my PC is pretty old. It has about 600MB or RAM so would that be enough?
I had a PC that had about 2GB of RAM, but it died. Funny how newer PC's seem to crap out more than the old ones.
My update manager does not give me the option to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10. That is, the "New distribution release '12.10' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions" section is not shown.
I had the same problem upgrading to 12.04. Spent hours trying to upgrade the system, got lucky somehow, don’t definitively know how.
When I connect via SSH, I get this:
Code:
Welcome to Ubuntu 13.04 (GNU/Linux 3.8.0-19-generic x86_64)
* Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/
0 packages can be updated.
0 updates are security updates.
New release '13.04' available.
Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.
So, apparently, it's encouraging me to upgrade from 13.04 to 13.04
Any idea what is going on?
P.S.
