Paul, you saved my day. Thanks! I was stuck with the error message and the problem reported in this bug. Had I rebooted the system, I would have been stuck with a half- updated non-bootable system. I followed your advice and got my system updated and running.
Changes to your suggestions: - I dropped step #1 and #2 as I already had updated my system this way before running do-release-upgraded. - The URL in step #3 has changed to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/lucid.tar.gz - I dropped step #5 as I did not have to comment out line 352. it worked anyway. - In step #6, I ran "sudo ./lucid --frontend=DistUpgradeViewText" as I prefer a text interface instead of a graphical view. Step #6 failed due to some pakets. I deinstalled them and ran #6 again. I repeated this process until installation went through and offered a reboot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538839 Title: when "do-release-upgrade" aborts, no instructions are given for how to complete the upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/538839/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
