[01:06] <head_victim> typo*
[01:55] <nisshh> head_victim, cool, hehe, i saw it about 3 days ago, but couldnt get hold of an op till now :)
[07:02] <prabhu> how to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04
[07:03] <prabhu> how to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04
[07:05] <sagaci> prabhu: add natty to your /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:05] <sagaci> then sudo apt-get update
[07:05] <sagaci> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:05] <sagaci> i'd recommend you reinstall though
[07:05] <prabhu> hmmm but i downloaded that alpha version and i made it
[07:05] <prabhu> in my pen drive
[07:06] <sagaci> what do you mean you made it
[07:06] <prabhu> hmmm made up a bootable one using start up disk creator
[07:07] <sagaci> yeah ok, so have you tried booting off it and installing it
[07:07] <prabhu> yeah but i dont want my data's in my 10.10 to be lost
[07:08] <prabhu> can i upgrade from 10.10 without any loss of data?
[07:19] <sagaci> prabhu: how much data are we talking
[07:20] <prabhu> hmmm just a little bit arnd 20 gb
[07:21] <sagaci> do you really want to upgradd
[07:21] <prabhu> yeah
[07:21] <prabhu> i have the iso image of natty
[07:21] <sagaci> like, seriously. It's bad enough going from a stable to a stable let alone to a dev release
[07:21] <prabhu> and i am in 10.10 now
[07:22] <prabhu> just i wanna give a try
[07:23] <sagaci> it's not worth hosing your system
[07:23] <sagaci> try it in a vm
[07:23] <prabhu> hmmm
[07:24] <prabhu> so just for a learning process ,pls tell me how to upgrade if i have an ubuntu<version>.iso image
[07:24] <sagaci> prabhu: ah, you need to alternate iso img
[07:25] <prabhu> sorry i cant understand?
[07:27] <sagaci> you need to download an alternatve image http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/alpha-1/
[07:28] <sagaci> alternate*
[07:28] <prabhu> i did it
[07:36] <blahdeblah> sagaci: Don't spread FUD.  Ubuntu is designed to be upgradable, and most upgrades from stable to stable work fine for most people.
[07:37] <blahdeblah> My laptop was originally installed on hardy and has been upgraded for every release since.  I also migrated from a Dell Latitude D830 to a Lenovo ThinkPad X200s without reinstalling.
[08:54] <nisshh> blahdeblah, sometime soon, before the next meeting, i need to talk to you about the website too
[09:00] <sagaci> blahdeblah: do you really feel complacent with helping someone to an unstable and unsupported version of ubuntu when there's data to be accounted for and the process itself is not so straightforward
[09:01] <sagaci> the only FUD i'm spreading is the kind of FUD that will occur when the upgrade goes wrong and/or data is lost
