Upgrade Ubuntu server 6.04 LTS to 8.04 LTS

February 23, 2009 By 3 Comments

When upgrading an Ubuntu server to 8.04 LTS, you should use the new and improved server upgrade system. Use the following steps to activate this upgrade process:

  1. Enable the “dapper-updates” repository
  2. Install the “update-manager-core” package. Dependencies include python-apt, python-gnupginterface and python2.4-apt.
  3. Run the command “sudo do-release-upgrade” in a terminal window
  4. Follow the prompts on-screen.

    THANK YOU! This worked on upgrading my Ubuntu 6.04 Desktop that failed with apt-get and the gnome updater.

    You have saved me a LOT of work in a compete backup, wipe and new install of 9.04 (from CD).

    THANKS AGAIN!
