I'm trying to upgrade a very old (Lucid Lynx) Vmware VM I recently re-discovered.

When I try to run the update manager, I get the message "Your Ubuntu release is not supported anymore. You will not get any further security fixes or critical updates. Please Upgrade to a later version of Ubuntu Linux." Then update manager freezes. Is there a way to configure update manager so it can point to something I can upgrade to?

NOTE: I've been following some of the questions involving upgrading end-of-life versions... nothing seems to help,

  • 10.04 has gone end of life. At that time Ask Ubuntu also stops supporting that release. Re-installing is the only option to get that system up and running. – Rinzwind Mar 05 '16 at 17:24
  • @guntbert - checked some of those out, but they weren't getting me where I needed to be. – Ron Call Mar 06 '16 at 02:48
  • Finally finagled the upgrades up to Narwal - then things went bad and I got stuck at the GRUB prompt. So now I have a different problem ... – Ron Call Mar 06 '16 at 02:50
  • In that case I can only repeat the advice already given: Install a new system. – guntbert Mar 06 '16 at 18:42

Honestly, I wouldn't try upgrading such an old OS. I generally don't do upgrades, although I have with Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04. I would stand up a new VM and copy data and such over. Far more likely to work smoothly :-)
