[21:24] <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.
[21:28] <diogenes_Vx15> !upgrade
[21:30] <diogenes_Vx15> xu-help5w, run here in the chat: /exec cat /etc/os-release | grep -i pretty
[21:33] <xu-help5w> Ok
[21:33] <xu-help5w> Nothing happened.
[21:33] <xu-help5w> Unknown command /exec
[21:35] <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
[21:43] <xu-help5w> How the hell do you type that vertical line?
[21:43] <xu-help5w> The typical shortcut isn't working.
[21:46] <xu-help5w> is alt gr + `´| button.
[21:53] <xu-help5w> According to the settings for keyboard layout, it's set correctly. But i can't make | in the terminal.
[22:01] <diogenes_Vx15> xu-help5w, just copy/paste.
[22:02] <xu-help5w> Hold, i'll join from that machine.
[22:04] <xu-help68w> Could you type the thing again?
[22:05] <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.
[22:22] <diogenes_Vx15> xu-help68w, cat /etc/os-release | grep -i pretty
[22:26] <xu-help68w> PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS"
[22:28] <diogenes_> xu-help68w: follow this: https://ubuntu.com/blog/how-to-upgrade-from-ubuntu-18-04-lts-to-20-04-lts-today
[22:29] <xu-help68w> How come there isn't a upgrade in the software updater?
[22:29] <xu-help68w> that'd be a lot easier
[22:30] <diogenes_> Because your version is 3 versions behind, you need to upgrade to 20.04 and then to 22.04
[22:31] <xu-help68w> But the updater should know that.
[22:32] <xu-help68w> And only offer me a version that i can actually upgrade to.
[22:32] <diogenes_> It prompted you 4 years ago
[22:33] <xu-help68w> And it should continue to do so forever, if and when i run the checking for updates manually.
[22:34] <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.
[22:35] <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.
[22:37] <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.
[22:41] <xubuntu29i> I'm a fucking idiot
