How to Upgrade from Linux Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 Release
After posting our initial write-up about Linux Ubuntu 9.04, we know many will be asking how to upgrade from the current stable release 8.10 to version 9.04. We have found this one on the Ubuntu website but we would like to share it with everyone reading this article. The steps are simple and you should not encounter any problems during the upgrade process if you will follow the instructions to the letter (which is highly recommended).
To upgrade from Ubuntu 8.10 on a desktop system (usually GNOME), press Alt+F2 and type in “update-manager -d” (without the quotes) into the command box. Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release ’9.04′ is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.
To upgrade from Ubuntu 8.10 on a server system: install the update-manager-core package if it is not already installed; edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal; launch the upgrade tool with the command sudo do-release-upgrade; and follow the on-screen instructions.
If Linux Ubuntu 9.04 is released and you ever encounter any errors in the upgrade process, let us know through the comments section of this post and we will investigate the cause of the problem (if any).
