GUI systems

  • Upgrading gnome can be troublesome shit from command line. Do this:
    • exit i3, boot into Gnome
    • hit Alt, type Software Updater, go through options to upgrade
  • Or to try from the command line anyway:
mh-update-ubuntu
# (ensure all repos are working)
# reboot

Either:

sudo do-release-upgrade

Or:

sudo apt install update-manager
sudo update-manager &

Non-GUI systems

mh-update-ubuntu
# (ensure all repos are working)
# reboot
# connect via direct proxmox shell (not ssh)
sudo do-release-upgrade
# mail server: none
# change sudoers? N (default)
# Keep local sshd_config
# remove local packages? Y
# restart? Y
