Upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04
1 Attachment(s)
Hi
I am or was on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Saw a prompt for a large upgrade thru Software & Updates so I clicked ok and let it run After booting I saw the grub screen as normal then just a black screen Was able to launch a terminal and ran sudo apt-get update etc and after some tweaks was able to get sort of a desktop environment(see attached) However obviously not what I need. Screen resolution is wrong, not getting proper mouse tracking, etc. Checking in terminal I confirm that I am now on 20.04LTS. I also downloaded the Ubuntu MATE .iso file How do I properly upgrade my MATE skin to 20.04? In hindsight I should have followed these directions https://www.fosslinux.com/38695/how-...-20-04-lts.htm Any feedback appreciated. |
provided things work as you would expect with a live usb of 20.04, it seems like a re-install would be quicker and probably give you more confidence in your system overall than trying to troubleshoot your way out of an unfortunately messy upgrade.

I just did a Debian dist-upgrade and I recommend the process.
I believe it is essentially the same on Ubuntu, but I wouldn't trust those GUI utilities. Maybe your upgrade didn't fully complete? You could open a terminal and run the following: Code:
apt update |
