How to upgrade from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04?

Question

I want to upgrade from ubuntu 10.10 to ubuntu 11.04.

Relevant for anyone who (thinks they) want to do an upgrade of such old versions these days: How to install software or upgrade from old unsupported release? — Eliah Kagan, Jan 18 '14 at 01:13

The truly command line way is (e.g. if you don't have a gui):

sudo do-release-upgrade

It says no new release found. I am running 10.04 – sarat May 21 '11 at 09:35

@sarat That's because 10.04 is a Long Term release.. You can follow these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NattyUpgrades#Network%20Upgrade%20for%20Ubuntu%20Servers%20%28Recommended%29 – jarondl May 21 '11 at 16:49

Press Alt+F2 and type update-manager, this should show the option to upgrade to 11.04.

Through the terminal this can be done using the same command but I am guessing you need use sudo to do this.

The official ubuntu.com page has information:

For desktop and server editions.

You can easily upgrade over the network with the following procedure.

Open the Software Sources application from the System -> Administration menu
Select the sub menu Updates from the Software Sources application:
Change the Release Update drop down to "Normal Releases" and close the application
Open Update Manager from the System -> Administration menu
Click the Check button to check for new updates.
If there are any updates to install, use the Install Updates button to install them, and press Check again after that is complete.
A message will appear informing you of the availability of the new release.
Click Upgrade.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

If you're moving from 10.04, see this question:

Can I skip over releases when upgrading?

From 11.04 onwards,when you boot the livecd and start installing it will give a option of upgrading to 11.04. it will automatically detect installed apps and install the updated version of your apps also. assuming your not dual booting

live CD : Allocate drive space
