Hi,
I've never tried it, but I think you have to use a special image of
Ubuntu 12.04 Server 64-bit, not "standard ISO image", if you want to
upgrade distribution (it called something like "alternative ISO
images").
BUT - if I understand it right - you have installed an
ubuntu-desktop:i386 package inside of ubuntu 12.04 Server 64-bit.
So to install ubuntu-desktop package instead of ubuntu-desktop:i386
could be enough. To upgrade all relevant applications from 32-bits
to 64-bits versions manually is necessary (some of them are not part
of ubuntu-desktop, i.e. - wine, filezilla, virtualbox, ...)
It is better to have a security backup of existing system first ...

Normally this is possible to do the
other way around (server to desktop). I definitely don't think a
pre-built 32bit distro can be changed just like that into
64bits.
The only options you have here (if you still want to "change"
desktop to server 32bits) is to boot into runlevel3 (text only;
no X server) or just uninstall ubuntu-deskop.
It would be a lot easier if you start with a server image
(ubuntu sever) and you install the packages you want.
Dear opennebula community,
how to convert "ubuntu 10.04 32 bits desktop" to "ubuntu
12.04 64 bits server" (after the conversion, the GUI desktop
will be still available)?
i have a 64 bits server (support virtualization) with
"ubuntu 10.04 32 bits desktop" installed. there are wine,
filezilla, openoffice, oracle vm virtualbox etc
applications, and some VM OS images installed in this server
as well.
now i want to convert the "ubuntu 10.04 32 bits desktop" to
"ubuntu 12.04 64 bits server", and require the above
installed applications and VM OS images still work after the
conversion. can this be achieved without any hassles? if
yes, how to achieve it and what is the easiest way to do it?
if the above installed applications not working after the
conversion, could them work after being
adjustified/reinstalled/tuned?
what i plan to do is to directly upgrade from "ubuntu 10.04
32 bits desktop" to "ubuntu 12.04 64 bits server", with a
burned "ubuntu 12.04 64 bits server" CD. is this ok?
otherwise, please advice.
thanks,
david su
