Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Bug reporting is mostly about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug. I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709 FYI: You need elevated privileges to run package tools, so the command needed to update your software lists is `sudo apt update` and to install upgraded packages `sudo apt upgrade` (or `sudo apt full-upgrade` to install all packages) The `sudo` elevates your privileges. I'm marking this as 'incomplete' as I don't see any problem, if you believe I'm in error, please leave a message explaining why, and you can change the status to "New". ** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1898820 Title: Hello, When I was in the process of installing the latest version of ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS , the process crashed.
