[Bug 1354825] Re: Upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 fails
You need to change prompt so that it is lts e.g. prompt=lts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1354825 Title: Upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1354825/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1354825] Re: Upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 fails
I already did, but still it should be able to automatically detect that the next release is 14.04 LTS if using normal. Or at least show some information that user has to manually change the /etc/update-manager /release-upgrades file to prompt=lts. This is bad for usability! And I am sure many other Dell laptop users encounter exactly the same problem. This bug was found on my Gf's laptop, I am no longer an Ubuntu user myself, mainly because upgrading nearly always broke my system. Switched to Arch because of rolling release. So instead of having people experience the bug and having to google what the hell is happening, please handle the problem automatically or show a user notification what the user has to do. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1354825 Title: Upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1354825/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: The update-manager tries to update from 12.04 to 12.10 but this seems to fail, because it's no longer supported, instead it should update to 14.04. Steps to reproduce: 1. Buy a dell laptop with ubuntu 12.04 pre-installed 2. Run sudo do-release-upgrade or update manager gui Current result: sudo do-release-upgrade Checking for a new Ubuntu release Err Upgrade tool signature 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.201 80] Err Upgrade tool 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.201 80] Fetched 0 B in 0s (0 B/s) WARNING:root:file 'quantal.tar.gz.gpg' missing Failed to fetch Fetching the upgrade failed. There may be a network problem. Expected result: Ability to upgrade to either 12.10 - 13.04 - 14.04 or upgrade directly from 12.04 - 14.04 a direct upgrade path seems better.
