Thanks again, Walter. Googling yields: Traditionally, Debian releases have been upgradeable by changing Apt's /etc/apt/sources.list, which specifies package repositories, and using apt-get dist-upgrade to perform the upgrade itself. Ubuntu is still a Debian-derived distribution, so this process would likely still work. Instead, however, we'll use do-release-upgrade, a tool provided by the Ubuntu project, which handles checking for a new release, updating sources.list, and a range of other tasks. This is the officially recommended upgrade path for server upgrades which must be performed over a remote connection.
I'm afraid to use the do-release-upgrade command, because (1) I can't find documentation for it (The above site just tells how to do it like a monkey), and (2) It might try to give me 18.04, not 16.04. I'd like to try the apt-get dist-upgrade command instead. But to do this I need to know what to ADD to /etc/apt/sources.list to get 16.04 Lubuntu. Any idea what repository (file name) I should add? gary knott, [email protected] On Sat, Nov 10, 2018 at 5:42 PM Aere Greenway <[email protected]> wrote: > On 11/10/18 3:16 PM, Gary Knott wrote: > > You suggest I can use "do-release-upgrade" -- that > > must be part of an apt-get command, right? > > Can you tell me what the full command is I should type? > > > I'm quite sure it's a standalone command.
