Upgrading from Ubuntu 5.10

A new version of the Update Manager application has entered breezy-updates which can upgrade your entire system in a few simple steps.

To perform the upgrade:

  1. Update your system to ensure that you have the latest version of Update Manager and associated packages. The necessary versions are available from the breezy-updates repository, which is enabled by default.

  2. Run the following command (either via ALT-F2 or a terminal):

gksudo "update-manager -d"
  • The "-d" switch instructs Update Manager to consider pre-release versions, including this Beta release. Without this switch, only official, final releases will be considered.

If you have a working network connection, it should then inform you about a new release and offer to upgrade your system.

Upgrading from Ubuntu releases prior to 5.10

  1. Upgrade to Ubuntu 5.10
  2. Follow the above instructions for upgrading from 5.10
