How to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx from karmic, intrepid, hardy

Written by Mel Kham on . Posted in Linux tutorials

Few weeks ago ubuntu 10.04 beta was released, if you have ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala installed in a virtual machine or in an old computer and you want to test this release you can upgrade by following the steps bellow.  Remember this is a beta release so it is not advised to upgrade a production machine to this release of Ubuntu.




Now to upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 on a desktop system, press Alt+F2 and type in update-manager -d into the command box. Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release ’10.04′ is available ( See screenshot bellow).

Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.


You can also upgrade using the command line, to do that open terminal and type this command :

sudo do-release-upgrade -d

Is done !

    The upgrade took a few hours. but it went routinely for a 4 year old Toshiba. Nothing major seems broken, and I only lost Dropbox and Remastersys. Dropbox is a quick reinstall, but Remastersys won’t work until the Lucid version is released. I’ll be interested to see if this upgrade goes as well w/ my Acer laptop, since it has the Linux wifi unfriendly Broadcom chipset.

    Wow, I knew it! I knew there was going to be a GUI version of such guide. I know how to use the terminal but I don’t use it, albeit it is very powerful, because the OS does provide the necessary GUI. The rest of the guides I found were purely done in the terminal–no wonder a lot of people think Linux is difficult to use. I really think the pattern for making Linux tutorials should change: if there’s a way to do it in GUI, please show it in GUI. Oh, and thanks for the guide.

it can be used to talk or chat through the internet,

it is using strong encryption.

but for example TOR is using some obfuscation because some countrys try to block all outgoing connections which can not be scanned with DPI

And the TOR Project is facing an arms race in obfuscation and encryption detection.

You can friend someone if you give him your public Certificate.

both peers must friend each other.

i suggest to not enter a valid e-mail address. it is not necessary, but pgp needs a mail addy. something@something.so fits perfectly… :)

please have a look at this link. it is a FAQ, QuickTip, HowTo, etc etc etc …

If you want to make friends, please use the Chatservers.
#1 https://www.f2f-fr.net/w2c/en/
#2 http://retrosharechatserver.no-ip.org/w2c/en/

if you enter your certificate, the chatserver adds you as his friend and shows his certificate too add him to your friends.

After the connection to the chatservers is established, you can join a few chatrooms where the chatserver is lurking.

in this rooms are other people too help you and make first friends and get into the network.

add friends only with wisdom. if you friend some policeman, it will be problematic like in real life.

best is to add only people you trust in real life or trust from other communitys too. and not to add random unkown strangers.

If you have questions, ask them in the chatlobbys, there is always someone to answer them.

please read http://redd.it/18vsq5

or question me here :)
