[Cialug] Problem upgrading ubuntu fiesty to gutsy

[Nathan C. Smith]

I gave mounting an ISO a go too.  I mounted a hardy disk and tried both the cdupgrade and to use it as a repository.  Maybe I should have tried to use a feisty disk as a repository.

I want to upgrade to Hardy, assuming from there it will be a matter of reboots and apt-gets to get to a current stable version.

Could he mount an iso of the upgrade disk he needs and then upgrade from that?

Whoops, by Hardy, I mean Intrepid. ;)

Are you trying to get to gutsy specifically or just upgrade to stable release?

If you want to get to Hardy, you can do 'sudo update-manager -c' and it will take care of everything.

I meant to add that I have used that too with the same results.

I can run apt-get update but when I do apt-get dist-upgrade
it switches some of the prerequists-sources.list back to us.archive....
   by the way, there's a "better" way to upgrade... use do-release-upgrade

It does the apt-get stuff for you and has special rules built in that
helps it handle some of the odd cases where apt-get asks you a
thousand questions or fights with dependencies. This is the command
line equiv of

update-manager --dist-upgrade
