Command Line Upgrade To Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04
This guide is for those who are upgrading from Ubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10 to Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04. To do other upgrades the instructions are similar except for step #6 where the names are (obviously) different.
- Update Apt:
sudo apt-get update
- Update packages:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
- Restart to get the latest kernel etc:
sudo reboot
- Back everything important up now! If you haven’t done so already. ;o)
- Backup your apt configuration:
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.edgy
- Open your source list with your favourite editor, in my case nano:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
- Comment out any references to install CDs at the top using a hash at the start of the line(s).
- Change every occurrence of the word ‘edgy’ to ‘feisty’.
- Save the file. In nano hit ctrl + x, then hit Y.
- Update Apt again:
sudo apt-get update
- Upgrade to the new distro:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
- Restart:
sudo reboot
Finished!
This sequence worked perfectly for me. Milage may vary, so make sure you follow step 4 and backup everything. Hope this helps someone out.
