Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx to Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat upgrade
by admin on Jun.07, 2010, under Ubuntu, ubuntu 10.04, ubuntu 10.10
When Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat will be out, you will be able to upgrade as usual, by pressing Alt + F2 and entering “update-manager -d”.
But right now (Alpha 1 wasn’t even released yet!), you’ll have to tweak some things to be able to upgrade. For now there isn’t even an ISO available with Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat.
Warning: only upgrade for testing purposes! Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat is in very early development stages so a lot of things might not work! You have been warned!
This being said, here’s how to upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx to Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat:
1. Replace every “lucid” coinsurance in the sources.list file with “maverick” and run a dist-upgrade:
sudo sed -i 's/lucid/maverick/g' /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade2. Now all you have to do is run the following commands and you’ll upgrade Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat:
sudo aptitude install update-manager-core
sudo do-release-upgrade -d

Hi something went array, gave me an error message said it could not install because of other packages or something like that. I think I will wait till everything is a little more available.
