Ubuntu 9.04

Hi,

I am currentley using 8.10, i was just wondering if it will be possible to upgrade to 9.04 instead of doing a clean install, i realise that a clean install may be the best option but i have my system all setup the way i really like it and it has taken some time???

thanks!

Yeah, it should work fine. Hasn't the update manager asked if you want to upgrade to Jaunty? If not, navigate to System > Administration > Software Sources > Updates and change the system upgrade option there. After you exit, the update manager should then ask if you want to upgrade your system to Jaunty.

Hit ALT+F2 and type update-manager -d

the reason you don't see it is 9.04 isn't officially out yet, so your package manager won't see the upgrade

Sorry, I thought Jaunty had been released. Anyway, in the Updates tab there is a drop-down menu where you can select to show normal releases. Select that option and exit. Next, you play the waiting game.

Also make sure your set to get regular releases. By default i've seen it set to only show LTS releases.

Hi,

I still cannot get my system to upgrade i have tried the ALT+F2 and type update-manager -d.

But it scans and then just says that it is up to date, but it is only utodate with 8.10, but i'm wanting to upgrade to 9.04.

Is there anything else i can do?

Open up your sources.list file with the following:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Change all instances of ''intreprid'' with ''jaunty'', close and save, then execute the following command:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

That should do it.
