Ubuntu was out today, and I could not wait to try out the new features. However I am in the office now and I have no physical access to my Ubuntu box in my kitchen, so using the graphic interface is not an option to me. I searched online and I couldn’t find any tutorial about upgrading the Ubuntu via command line. So I decided to try my own:<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
First, make sure that your Ubuntu box is up-to-date:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo apt-get update\r\nsudo apt-get upgrade -y\r\nsudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y\r\n<\/pre>\nThen, do some preparation work:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo apt-get install update-manager-core\r\n<\/pre>\nMake sure that:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo nano \/etc\/update-manager\/release-upgrades\r\nPrompt=normal\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n
Next, we are ready to start the journey:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo do-release-upgrade -d\r\n<\/pre>\nNotice that Ubuntu will complain if you do it via SSH. I don’t care, so I choose “YES”.<\/p>\n
Later, it will ask you whether you want to remove the old packages and install the new one. Of course the answer is Yes.<\/p>\n
Depending on your CPU and internet connection speed. It can range from 30 minutes to few hours. After everything is done, make sure that you upgrade the system again:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo apt-get update -y\r\nsudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y\r\n<\/pre>\nThat’s it! Have fun with Ubuntu 11.10!<\/p>\n
