| TMTMTM | I'm sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but is there really no way to upgrade an existing Xubuntu 23.04 installation to 23.10? | 07:04 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | You'll have to adapt settings to look for all releases, and not just LTS releases if you'd like to do that. | 07:06 |
| TMTMTM | I did that months ago, if you mean logo - Settings - Software & Updates, Updates tab, "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version: For any new version". There is no "box at the top" of anything that I can see. | 07:08 |
| TMTMTM | The documentation mentions editing /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to make the line "prompt=normal". I just now saw that mine is "Prompt=normal". I wonder if it's case-sensitive? | 07:11 |
| Unit193 | Now what's `do-release-upgrade` show you? | 07:11 |
| TMTMTM | Checking for a new Ubuntu release | 07:12 |
| TMTMTM | = Welcome to Ubuntu 23.10 'Mantic Minotaur' = | 07:12 |
| TMTMTM | et cetera. I am not clear about Xubuntu instructions versus Ubuntu instructions, so I don't know if it's safe to treat it as if it were Ubuntu. | 07:13 |
| Unit193 | Generally speaking yes, sometimes there's Ubuntu specific aspects but that's more UI based stuff. | 07:13 |
| TMTMTM | I am running Xubuntu in a VM, so experimenting isn't quite so scary. | 07:14 |
| TMTMTM | So go ahead and hit y at the Continue prompt, and carry on from there? | 07:14 |
| Unit193 | Yeppers. | 07:14 |
| Unit193 | ...There's some graphical way to do that, somewhere. I don't really use that though, so I don't know it. | 07:15 |
| TMTMTM | "Upgrade tool" -- oh, good, I'll be upgraded too. | 07:15 |
| TMTMTM | It's running. -- I do want to note that it's disheartening to see Google Search say: No results found for "do-release-upgrade" site:docs.xubuntu.org. | 07:19 |
| TMTMTM | That is, upgrading my system with a command that's not even mentioned in the documentation. | 07:19 |
| TMTMTM | (something came up here saying "unread messages". I refreshed the page but now nothing is shown. Can anyone let me know whether I missed something addressed to me?) | 07:29 |
| TMTMTM | Hmmm, well, the update has completed. It complained about a local change to 50unattended-setup or some such, but now lsb_release -a says 23.10, so I'll see. | 07:53 |
| TMTMTM | Thank you to the people who gave me advice. | 07:53 |
| Unit193 | TMTMTM: https://xubuntu.github.io/xubuntu-docs/user/C/upgrading.html#upgrading-xubuntu there's the section on upgrades, fwiw. | 08:16 |
| TMTMTM | "if a new version of Xubuntu is available, a box at the top of the window will appear saying that a new distribution release is available" did not happen for me. | 08:20 |
