[12:46] <chris062689> Good morning. How can I force upgrade from 18.04.1 to the 18.10 beta?
[12:46] <chris062689> do-release-upgrade -d tells me I need to be running the latest version before upgrading? 
[12:49] <gpunk> do apt update then apt upgrade, and retry
[12:51] <chris062689> Upgrades to the development release are only available from the latest supported release. 
[12:52] <chris062689> gpunk, I ran update && upgrade then ran do-release-upgrade -d
[12:52] <gpunk> what version do you have ?
[12:53] <gpunk> oh sorry i see it
[12:53] <chris062689> Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS 
[12:53] <gpunk> do you have ppa s ?
[12:53] <chris062689> None custom. 
[12:54] <chris062689> You'd recommend just going into sources.list and changing bionic to cosmic? 
[12:58] <chris062689> gpunk
[12:59] <gpunk> i dont want to be responsible for that, it might go wrong,
[12:59] <gpunk> but technically it is a way to do it
[12:59] <chris062689> Okay. That's fine. I'll try that. Worst case I just do a fresh reinstall. This is just a spare laptop. 
[13:00] <gpunk> ok, good luck :)
