How to Upgrade Ubuntu Karmic 9.1 to Lucid Lynx 10.04

Thursday, May 6th, 2010


1st Method ( Internet Required ) via Update manager > Start the Update Manager (System > Administration > Update Manager): > The Update Manager should show that a new distribution release (10.04 LTS) is available. Click the Upgrade button to start the distribution upgrade

2nd Method . Offline Upgrade ( Internet not required)

This method is much faster since it uses offline ISO image to upgrade from HERE.

> Let’s go ahead and Mount the image

sudo mount -o loop /path-to-iso/ubuntu-10.04-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom0

> When success, a pop up should appear offering you the option to upgrade using that CD / ISO image.

If for some reason the upgrade dialog doesn’t pop-up, press ALT + F2 and type:

Ubuntu:

gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"

Kubuntu:

kdesudo "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"
