| xu-help21w | hi everyone | 13:38 |
|---|---|---|
| xu-help21w | has anyone tried to do-release-upgrade from xu 18.04 ==> 20.04 recently? I just tried and it doesn't work, looks like release-upgrade is not picking up the new xubuntu version (apt update&upgrade&dist-upgrade was run beforehand) | 13:40 |
| xu-help21w | and /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades is set to "Prompt=lts" | 13:40 |
| xu-help21w | also tried the GUI as per https://docs.xubuntu.org/2004/user/en_GB/migrating-upgrading.html#upgrading | 13:41 |
| xu-help21w | looks like either a bug or I'm missing something...has anyone come across this issue before? | 13:42 |
| xu-help21w | do-release-upgrade says "there is no development version of an LTS available" - I'll try with --devel-release to see if that makes any difference | 13:44 |
| brainwash | xu-help21w: the route goes like this: 18.04.x ==> 20.04.1 | 13:57 |
| brainwash | and 20.04.1 was not released yet | 13:58 |
| JavierSpain | hello | 14:58 |
| JavierSpain | it's xubuntu better than lubuntu for old laptops? | 14:58 |
| xu-help21w | hi brainwash thanks for the info | 14:59 |
| xu-help21w | actually i made it work wih do-release-upgrade | 14:59 |
| xu-help21w | 18.04==>19==>20.04 | 15:00 |
| xu-help21w | by setting /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades is set to "Prompt=normal" | 15:00 |
| xu-help21w | so basically in 2 incremental steps | 15:01 |
| xu-help21w | right now its upgrading to 20.04 - if this goes well I'll confirm back here | 15:02 |
| xu-help21w | FYI - so far by doing this 2 step upgrade process it hasn't caused any issues with my dual-boot windows setup | 15:03 |
| xu-help21w | with uefi | 15:03 |
| xu-help21w | hopefully at the end of the upgrade process this remains the same :D | 15:03 |
| xu-help21w | upgrade has been finished and everything looks ok | 15:29 |
| xu-help21w | so anyone who wants to do in-place upgrade of Xubuntu Desktop from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS should consider setting /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades: "Prompt=normal" | 15:30 |
| xu-help21w | and run do-release-upgrade twice | 15:31 |
| xu-help21w | the result should be a fully working 20.04LTS Xubuntu | 15:31 |
| xu-help21w | JavierSpain "better" is a dangerous word as it depends on the context | 15:32 |
| xu-help21w | what does it mean "better" for you? | 15:32 |
| xu-help21w | is it better hardwre support? or lower resource usage? or better applications? | 15:33 |
| xu-help21w | if you define what "better" means better (sorry for the pun) perhaps we can help you a bit better | 15:34 |
| xu-help21w | :) | 15:34 |
| JavierSpain | thanks for the phylosophical explanation | 15:59 |
| JavierSpain | the point its that for my acer 5610z works better lubuntu, and i expected that xubuntu would work better. | 16:00 |
