| billybigrigger | hey all | 02:18 |
|---|---|---|
| billybigrigger | im stuck trying to upgrade my laptop | 02:18 |
| billybigrigger | An upgrade from 'cosmic' to 'eoan' is not supported with this tool. | 02:18 |
| billybigrigger | how do i get on the latest version? | 02:19 |
| billybigrigger | oh man, this distro really is dead eh | 02:20 |
| kernal_ | so dead | 02:20 |
| kernal_ | :/ | 02:20 |
| billybigrigger | dang, i had this distro installed on my wifes laptop and she loves it | 02:21 |
| kernal_ | it's not dead :P | 02:21 |
| kernal_ | what got that crazy idea in your head | 02:21 |
| billybigrigger | 50 ppl in rc and 50th on distrowatch? :P | 02:22 |
| billybigrigger | i beg to differ | 02:22 |
| billybigrigger | anyway, that discussion is for a different day | 02:22 |
| billybigrigger | i ran the updater tool because i can't install software on this laptop anymore, how do i get on the latest version from 18.10? | 02:22 |
| billybigrigger | everything i google just says run the updater tool and voila, you'll be upgraded | 02:23 |
| kernal_ | Software & Updates -> Updates -> Notify me of a new Ubuntu version: For any new version | 02:24 |
| billybigrigger | yes, that's selected | 02:24 |
| billybigrigger | but its trying to jump from 18.10 to 19.10 | 02:24 |
| billybigrigger | and failing | 02:24 |
| kernal_ | what's failing? | 02:24 |
| billybigrigger | An upgrade from 'cosmic' to 'eoan' is not supported with this tool. | 02:24 |
| kernal_ | you might need to go 19.04 -> 19.10 | 02:25 |
| billybigrigger | ok how to i upgrade to 19.04 | 02:26 |
| kernal_ | https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/upgrade-ubuntu-18-04-19-04-to-ubuntu-19-10 | 02:27 |
| billybigrigger | that page is of no use to me | 02:28 |
| billybigrigger | 18.04 is an LTS release | 02:28 |
| billybigrigger | how do i upgrade 18.10 to 19.04, and then eventually 19.10 | 02:28 |
| kernal_ | sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade | 02:28 |
| billybigrigger | that fails because it can't find cosmic repos | 02:31 |
| billybigrigger | E: The repository 'http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu cosmic-security Release' no longer has a Release file.N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. | 02:32 |
| kernal_ | so 'sudo apt dist-upgrade' fails? | 02:34 |
| billybigrigger | yes | 02:34 |
| kernal_ | sweet | 02:34 |
| kernal_ | 18.10 was end of life July 18, 2019 | 02:36 |
| kernal_ | look like you'll have to update your sources | 02:37 |
| kernal_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 02:37 |
| billybigrigger | already doing it | 02:37 |
| kernal_ | no worries | 02:38 |
| billybigrigger | didn't know old-releases.ubuntu.com was a thing now | 02:38 |
| Eickmeyer | Most discussion for Ubuntu MATE happens elsewhere. When in doubt, check the website. | 02:41 |
| Eickmeyer | Ubuntu MATE is very much alive and well, billybigrigger and kernal_. | 02:41 |
| billybigrigger | distrowatch says otherwise :S | 02:41 |
| billybigrigger | either way, i'll get 19.10 on this laptop and be good for a few years :P | 02:42 |
| Eickmeyer | billybigrigger: distrowatch rankings are not at all indicitive of the life of the distro. | 02:42 |
| Eickmeyer | 19.10 is only supported for 9 months, billybigrigger. | 02:43 |
| billybigrigger | god damn instructions don't work on the ubuntu wiki either lol | 02:44 |
| Eickmeyer | billybigrigger: Distrowatch rankings are just how many times their page for that distro has been clicked. | 02:44 |

| JustJohnny | is there a night-mode feature like Flux in Ubuntu Mate?? | 20:59 |
