[02:04] <holstein> is this yours?
[08:10] <miraculix> Hello there! I am looking for help to understand how i can upgrade from LTS 12.04 to LTS 14.04 and keep all my settings and programs so forth and so on
[08:11] <cfhowlett> miraculix, you can upgrade lts to LTS directly
[08:11] <miraculix> cfhowlett on the ubuntu website it says to reinstall
[08:12] <cfhowlett> miraculix, I would be money you read it wrong.
[08:12] <cfhowlett> *bet*
[08:12] <cfhowlett> anyway: 12.04 >>> 14.04 upgrade is supported.
[08:13] <miraculix> ok thanks I will have another look
[08:13] <miraculix> you are probably right
[08:14] <miraculix> Upgrading is not recommended because of various bugs. One of those bugs is 1284635. But, if you still prefer to perform an upgrade, follow these instructions:
[08:15] <cfhowlett> miraculix, then download 14.04.3, move your /home to a dedicated /home, backup essentials and clean install 14.04
[08:15] <cfhowlett> !home
[08:15] <ubottu> Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
[08:16] <miraculix> perfect thanks I will have a go at it
[08:17] <miraculix> I have a slow connection will take a few hours, but i will get there thanks both of you
[08:17] <cfhowlett> happy2help!
[08:18] <cfhowlett> miraculix, you ARE using .torrent not direct download, right?   RIGHT?
[08:18] <miraculix> a no I think i used the direct one why?
[08:19] <miraculix> should i use torrent ?
[08:19] <cfhowlett> 1.  .torrent tends to be faster.   2.  torrent has WAY Fewer errors.  3.  always torrent.  ALWAYS torrent.  ALWAYS.
[08:19] <miraculix> ok -will do I can just stop and re-do
