first you need to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 then from 10.10 to 11.04. (you
cannot skip versions when upgrading (from LTS to LTS is an exception to this
rule). The reason is that 10.04 is a LTS Version (Long Term Support) and as
such it upgrades itself from one LTS to the other. So the next LTS would be
12.04. When 12.04 comes you will see an upgrade noticed on your 10.04.
Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10
1. Using the menu go to System -> Administration -> Update Manager
When the Update manager opens and it does NOT show the "New Ubuntu Release
Available" message in the upper part do the following steps:
2- Click on the SETTINGS button in the Update Manager on the lower left part of
it. After the Software Sources Windows opens it should have you in the Update
Tab where you will change the option Release Upgrade at the bottom. Change it
from the one that it has to Normal Releases then close. What you did here was
tell Ubuntu not to check for LTS versions but to check for normal version
instead. Normal versions are the ones that come out every 6 months. LTS come
out every 2 years. For example 8.04, 10.04, 12.04.
2.1 Open The Update Manager again
Click on the UPGRADE button that should appear there in the upper part. After
finishing the upgrade reboot the PC and you should be in 10.10. Test it a
little and then if you are 100% sure to go to 11.04 do the following:
Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04
1. Open a terminal and type 'gksu update-manager' to open the
update-manager.You should get a message saying New Ubuntu Version 11.04 with a
button to UPGRADE
2 . Click on the UPGRADE button and follow it through.
IMPORTANT - Make sure you have ALREADY updated everything in Ubuntu 10.10. So
you are ready for a clean upgrade to 11.04
you can also use do-release-upgrade from the command line
