Upgrading 13.10 to 14.04

[claydoh]

No, you cannot upgrade from the iso image (dvd)

You will not lose any data or settings doing an upgrade (but back up anyway!)
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tr...grades/Kubuntu

I heard some chatter that upgrades have not yet been switched on, which is why for the moment you have to use the "-d" switch

What happens when you run 'do-release-upgrade -d'?
"it doesn't work" is not enough information.


I would suggest you begin a new thread for this, please.

No, I have got 13.10 Kubuntu(sorry for a bug) now installed and I want to upgrade to 14.04, but I have some questions:
1.What are differences between upgrade with do-release upgrade command and upgrade from DVD?
2.When I upgrade from Kubuntu 13.10 to 14.04 will I lost my data, settings and installed applications?
Please answer, if there is no difference I will try to upgrade from DVD ( downloading right now), because do-release upgrade -d and without "-d" doesn't work.

How to upgrade to Kubuntu 14.04 and save all my settings and installed apps?

[claydoh]

I have bugs, that I am upgrading from pre release version. I have normal version of Kubuntu 14.04. Please tell me, can I update from ISO?

if you installed the 14.04 pre-release, you are now running the 14.04 final if you have been doing regular updates.


You can find iso images for all supported versions here:

I have checked it, and I also have it set to normal, I have tried this command and isn't work. Wait to tommorow with this ? Can I upgrade from DVD? My documents and settings won't be lost?

[Fintan]

Yep it is set to normal:
# 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=normal

Will try:
do-release-upgrade -d

I have another question. Is final release of Kubuntu 13.10 available ? I have write do-release-upgrade -d in terminal and it has changed my repos to Trusty. Finally restored previous by Ubuntu Tweak. do-release-upgrade -d command said also that it is pre release upgrade to Trusty. Not Recommended.

[claydoh]

Not sure if this is still in effect, but I think that the upgrade notifications don't start coming until some time after the release. This could be why, being an LTS.

do-release-upgrade -d will get you there.

Also, check to make sure your /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file is set to normal as follows:

Prompt=normal

should it be set to prompt=lts you may be waiting for the .1 release.

...and of course you'll still need to wait for the code to propagate to the local update server.

cheers,

I tried the muon way. Nno go. so I tried with the commandline.
After doing sudo apt-get update and apt-get upgrade I ugraded 13.10.

Restarted and ran muon updater. Nada.

So I went and did this:
fintan@fintanws1:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
No new release found
fintan@fintanws1:~$

lsb shows this:
fintan@fintanws1:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 13.10
Release: 13.10
Codename: saucy
fintan@fintanws1:~$

Strange.

Edit: could it be because my repo prefix is "ch" and we havent recieved the upgrades here in Switzerland yet?
