I have a number of LVM partitions, each containing an Ubuntu installation. Occasionally, I want to do an apt-get dist-upgrade, to update an installation to the most recent packages.
I'm trying to upgrade our ubuntu server 11.04 to 11.10. I did an apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade. Now, im trying to execute do-release upgrade.
New release 'oneiric' available.
Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.
2222222-desktop:~$ do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new ubuntu release
No new release found
why does it say there is an upgrade then says it does not find it?
I have been slowly upgrading from 9x to 11.04. I had some issues along the way but nothing google could not help me with.
I have an Ubuntu server and last week I ran
Code:
do-release-upgrade
and it did the upgrade perfectly. It also did every other upgrade for the last 2 years no problem. When the upgrade finished and it rebooted, I SSH into it and it told me again there is an update. But when I run the command again it tells me there's no upgrade available.
I have a cluster of about 50 ubuntu nodes which are currently running maverick release. I'd like to upgrade them to oneiric, but I'm having a difficulty choosing the right tools.
I know ubuntu has the 'unattended-upgrade' utility, but it's only meant for security upgrades and cannot switch the whole release.
In Debian Squeeze I have installed a packageX from debian-backports.
Q1: When I apt-get dist-upgrade or aptitude full-upgrade, what release is checked for updates for packageX? debian-backports or debian-stable?
Q2: Can I use a command to update a single package from a specific release? For example is aptitude -t full-upgrade packageX a valid command?
I'm trying to upgrade one of my servers from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 12.10 using the following commands.
First I edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and change Prompt=lts to Prompt=normal. Then I start the upgrade with do-release-upgrade -d
The upgrade starts but fails immediately with the following output. I've already googled for this problem but didn't find any information.
Just tried to upgrade my ubuntu 10.10 using "do-release-upgrade" from console and fails:
Error is:
alex@spse:/# do-release-upgrade

First off, I'm not trying to do this on a phone. That seemed to be all the documentation I could find for backtrack.
Currently I have Debian Sid and Backtrack5 on my laptop and have a lot of educational and work needs for both of them.
