<<BR>>
Before upgrading, it is highly recommended to back up your data. See [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem | this page]] for tutorials on how to backup your data. Or just download '''[[http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php | Clonezilla]]''' and create an image of your hard drive or system partition.

The included GUI update manager will offer you the latest release of '''Ubuntu GNOME'''. Which can also be accessed via Terminal:

{{{
sudo update-manager -d
}}}

Alternatively, launch '''Terminal''' by hitting Ctrl+Alt+T and run the following command:

{{{
sudo do-release-upgrade
}}}

'''Note'''. If you were using the '''gnome3-team/gnome3-staging''' PPA, you should run
{{{
sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
}}}
before upgrading.

 * If you are having problems with upgrading - '''''No new release found''''' - please [[http://askubuntu.com/questions/125392/why-is-no-new-release-found-when-upgrading-from-a-lts-to-the-next | see this]].

Downloading Ubuntu GNOME


Checklist

  1. Please, BACKUP your important Data before anything else. Don't assume that Ubuntu GNOME will do it for you automatically.

  2. The default "Desktop" installer requires at least 1 GB of RAM.
  3. Check MD5SUM for the downloaded ISO - You will need to compare your MD5SUM with Ubuntu Hashes.

  4. Burn the DVD (ISO size is above 700MB) or create a bootable USB flash drive - using UNetbootin is highly recommended.

  5. Check USB or DVD Disc for Errors. When you boot the default installer, you will see the option to "Check Disc For Errors".
  6. Please do read The Release Notes before downloading Ubuntu GNOME.

  7. If you have a PC with the Windows 8 logo or UEFI firmware, choose the 64-bit download Read More.

Torrent

Please use the torrent link to download, it will be a faster download and will save on costs for bandwidth for the Canonical servers which means more money in the budget for all of the Ubuntu flavours. Please, seed as much as possible to help others as well.

Try without Installation
