upgrading to 13.04 from 12.04
The title says it all... what is the best way to do this? I have already backed up my system. I tried running
Code:
do-release-upgrade -c |
The title most certainly does not say it all. I assume you're talking about Ubuntu. It might be worth mentioning that in your post. Have you tried searching for an answer? There is this one that explains the upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04. If that's not useful I'm sure with a bit of effort you can find something that meets your needs.

yes, it is ubuntu. and it does not show an option to upgrade to 13.04.

Have you tried the link I provided in my first post? I don't understand what exactly doesn't show an option to upgrade?

I think you will have to upgrade to 12.10 first from there you can go to 13.04. Go to your upgrade manager, then look into its settings and select to notify you when normal releases are available not just LTS releases.
You can also boot from the 13.04 liveCD and select to upgrade existing installed system. Or you could just stay on 12.04LTS until next LTS release that is less risky. Good luck to you |
so i upgraded to 12.10. i restarted, and it doesn't boot in. i get to the loading ubuntu screen, and then i get a blank screen.
i probably would have gone with the livecd upgrade option. any ideas as to why this is not booting properly? i tried restarting. should I try single user mode? |
Your best bet, in my opinion, is to keep your stable, long-term-support 12.04 install (since you probably made a full backup---right?---it should be easy to restore) and then install 13.04 side-by-side in a "dual boot" configuration. That way, you can choose between stable 12.04 and bleeding-edge experimental 13.04 depending on your mood each day.

sudo apt-get update Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade good luck to you! |

Not sure if I did it right but I entered it on its own line |
