| xu-help5w | Hi. Wonder if someone could help me update xubuntu. I think i'm running 18.xx, it's an lts version. When i open the updater it just states there are no more updates for the installed version, but i get no option to upgrade to a newer one. | 21:24 |
| xu-help5w | But in the updater settings, it's set to notify for newer lts version. | 21:24 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | !upgrade | 21:28 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | xu-help5w, run here in the chat: /exec cat /etc/os-release | grep -i pretty | 21:30 |
| xu-help5w | Ok | 21:33 |
| xu-help5w | Nothing happened. | 21:33 |
| xu-help5w | Unknown command /exec | 21:33 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | ok then run that command in the terminal: cat /etc/os-release | grep -i pretty | 21:35 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | paste here what you get | 21:35 |
| xu-help5w | How the hell do you type that vertical line? | 21:43 |
| xu-help5w | The typical shortcut isn't working. | 21:43 |
| xu-help5w | is alt gr + `ยด| button. | 21:46 |
| xu-help5w | According to the settings for keyboard layout, it's set correctly. But i can't make | in the terminal. | 21:53 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | xu-help5w, just copy/paste. | 22:01 |
| xu-help5w | Hold, i'll join from that machine. | 22:02 |
| xu-help68w | Could you type the thing again? | 22:04 |
| xu-help68w | I do realize that i could've done so myself if i hadn't closed the tab so quickly on the other machine. | 22:05 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | xu-help68w, cat /etc/os-release | grep -i pretty | 22:22 |
| xu-help68w | PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS" | 22:26 |
| diogenes_ | xu-help68w: follow this: https://ubuntu.com/blog/how-to-upgrade-from-ubuntu-18-04-lts-to-20-04-lts-today | 22:28 |
| xu-help68w | How come there isn't a upgrade in the software updater? | 22:29 |
| xu-help68w | that'd be a lot easier | 22:29 |
| diogenes_ | Because your version is 3 versions behind, you need to upgrade to 20.04 and then to 22.04 | 22:30 |
| xu-help68w | But the updater should know that. | 22:31 |
| xu-help68w | And only offer me a version that i can actually upgrade to. | 22:32 |
| diogenes_ | It prompted you 4 years ago | 22:32 |
| xu-help68w | And it should continue to do so forever, if and when i run the checking for updates manually. | 22:33 |
| xu-help68w | I do think i remember the prompt, but i didn't read it and just closed it. Never popped up again and i just forgot about it. | 22:34 |
| diogenes_ | xu-help68w: no it should not, it's free software and no one owes you nothing. | 22:35 |
| xu-help68w | I do not know what that has to do with anything regarding userfriendlyness of the update process. | 22:35 |
| xu-help68w | According to the guide, i'm supposed to type "sudo do-release-upgrade -d -f DistUpgradeViewGtk3" and a box should appear. The box does not appear. | 22:37 |
| xubuntu29i | I'm a fucking idiot | 22:41 |
