I'm trying to upgrade server boxes from 18 to 22 via cli. I know it's best to start fresh and was able to on all but 3 boxes. I have to manually update these. I've seen a lot of questions/answers that asks to go to LTS but it's bad to go from 18 to 22 right? Figured doing a do-release-upgrade wasn't smart.

    It is not clear what you are asking, but the normal do-release-upgrade path is 18.04 → 20.04 → 22.04. – FedKad Apr 20 '23 at 15:49
  • Actually... that's what I needed to know @FedKad I didn't want to jump from 18 to 22 in one jump. THANKS!!! – cbloss793 Apr 20 '23 at 15:54
  • Please, run do-release-upgrade -c first and check its output. – FedKad Apr 20 '23 at 15:59
  • Ahhh it says "New release 20.04.6 LTS is available" – cbloss793 Apr 20 '23 at 16:04
  • The answer pretty much did. As in no. :) I definitely did NOT want to go from 18 straight to 22. – cbloss793 Apr 20 '23 at 16:06

    Be aware, the upgrade process from 18 to 20 differs from 18.04 to 20.04 as they are different systems. The year products (Ubuntu Core 18, Ubuntu Core 20) are snap only thus user-packages are identical for both systems and do not need to change. The year.month systems (Ubuntu 18.04 & Ubuntu 20.04) use deb packages which are packaged for each release, thus all deb packages upgrade during the upgrade, though the snap packages will not upgrade. You mix year and year.month details - which are different Ubuntu products (18 & 18.04 are different) – guiverc Apr 20 '23 at 16:07
  • That is VERY good information to be aware of @guiverc. Thank you for that!! – cbloss793 Apr 20 '23 at 17:43
