| sirjams | Ok ubottu, sorry. | 10:45 |
| tsimonq2 | sirjams: sudo do-release-upgrade does the upgrade to 18.04. | 10:45 |
| sirjams | I am a Lubuntu 17 user... | 10:45 |
| tsimonq2 | You don't lose data. | 10:45 |
| tsimonq2 | You should always have backups, by the way. | 10:46 |

| lubot5 | <tsimonq2> Hi from the Telegram bridge. | 10:48 |
| lubot5 | <tsimonq2> Do you have anything on the drive at the moment? | 10:48 |
| sirjams | yes, some docs | 10:49 |
| lubot5 | <tsimonq2> So, insert the flash drive and open it in the file manager. | 10:49 |
| sirjams | ok... | 10:49 |
| sirjams | and copy it all to the flash drive, right? | 10:50 |
| lubot5 | <tsimonq2> Then go to /home in the file manager. | 10:50 |
| lubot5 | <tsimonq2> Yup, you can do that. | 10:50 |
| sirjams | ok | 10:50 |
| sirjams | but you had other idea...do to /home in the file manager and? | 10:51 |
| lubot5 | <tsimonq2> Then from there you can just copy the whole folder. | 10:51 |
| sirjams | well...thanks! you were great! tx for helping this newbie... | 10:52 |
| lubot5 | <tsimonq2> Anytime :) | 10:52 |
| sirjams | I will do it now. Upgrade and copy files to the flash drive. | 10:53 |
| lubot5 | <tsimonq2> Copy first, upgrade second. | 10:54 |
| sirjams | what about the installed programs...will they be deleted or will stay with the new Lubuntu? | 10:54 |
| sirjams | ok tsimonq2 | 10:55 |
| lubot5 | <tsimonq2> @sirjams, They will stay. | 10:57 |
| sirjams | tx. I had a lot of reserves doing this upgrade...my lubuntu machine is old and it is not powerfull...and I red that lubuntu 18 needs the double of the resources, right? | 10:58 |
| lubot5 | <tsimonq2> Well, that's mainly there to reflect the current web standards. | 10:59 |
| lubot5 | <tsimonq2> You should be fine. | 10:59 |
| sirjams | ok. well...I will do it and see how it goes...but thanks guys...you were great! | 11:00 |
| sirjams | stay well, stay safe! | 11:01 |
| lubot5 | <tsimonq2> Thanks. | 11:01 |

| sirjams | hello again | 17:26 |
| sirjams | I am a lubuntu 17 user, and I was trying to upgrade it to lubuntu 18 by terminal | 17:27 |
| sirjams | but every tutorial and articles I found are only related with ubuntu, not lubuntu... | 17:28 |
| sirjams | is it the same thing? | 17:28 |
| sirjams | sorry for the newbie questions | 17:28 |
| wxl | sirjams: yes | 17:28 |
| sirjams | ok. so, if I follow all instructions about upgrading from ubuntu 17 to 18, is is going to do the same thing with my lubuntu 17...it becomes Lubuntu 18, right? | 17:30 |
| sirjams | I red so many things and way to do it...wich is the easiest way to do it by terminal? | 17:31 |
| sirjams | I made back up of all my docs in /home dir... | 17:32 |
| wxl | usually `sudo do-release-upgrade -d` but if you're on an old version, you might have to manually edit the sources.list and/or use the iso to upgrade | 17:32 |
| sirjams | I am using the 17 version... | 17:33 |
| sirjams | 17.10 | 17:36 |
| sirjams | when I try: sudo do-release-upgrade -d , it tells me that I have the new version | 17:37 |
| sirjams | ??? | 17:37 |
| wxl | what's `lsb_release -d` tell you? | 17:37 |
| sirjams | No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID:Ubuntu Description:Ubuntu 17.10 Release:17.10 Codename:artful | 17:38 |
| wxl | and to be sure what's `grep Prompt /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades` give you? | 17:39 |
| sirjams | Prompt=lts | 17:43 |
| wxl | oh that's weird | 17:43 |
| wxl | edit that file and change that value to normal | 17:43 |
| wxl | then `sudo do-release-upgrade` should work | 17:44 |
| ca_cabot | hey all, i'm on lubuntu 17.10, and trying to upgrade to 18.04 - sudo do-release-upgrade returns that no new release can be found? | 17:45 |
| wxl | ca_cabot: edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades so Prompt=normal | 17:45 |
| ca_cabot | sweet, ty! why does it need to change from lts to normal when upgrading to an lts release? | 17:48 |
| ca_cabot | because artful wasn't lts? | 17:49 |
| wxl | yeah i have no idea how you were on artful and it was set to lts | 17:49 |
| wxl | that's what i'd call a very strange situation | 17:49 |
| ca_cabot | weird | 17:49 |
| wxl | i had thought that if set to anything, it would allow an upgrade to any lts release but it seems that the issue is that it will only support lts->lts if it's set to lts | 17:49 |
| wxl | whereas normal will allow normal->normal or lts->normal or normal->lts | 17:50 |
| ca_cabot | i see, i can't say it makes since - but i appreciate your help! upgrading now! | 17:50 |
| wxl | have fun :) | 17:50 |
| ca_cabot | ty | 17:50 |
| wxl | ssh bfdata2 | 21:39 |
| wxl | oooops :) | 21:39 |
