I just upgraded my slice from running Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon to the newly released Ubuntu Hardy Heron.
The upgrade process:
- Login machine
- Execute the command “sudo do-release-upgrade”
- Answer a few “Do you want to keep this older file or use this new file?” questions.
- Done!
File this one under “That was easy.”
What made you decide to upgrade your Slice? I guess I just don’t see the point of upgrading an Ubuntu machine that’s only used via a terminal. I also recently upgraded to Hardy Heron, but that was on my desktop machine and I pretty much only did it for the gui updates.
Hey, Brent! I was just curious of the process mainly. I had never used the update-manager-core before. That and Slicehost will probably start doing their Ubuntu tutorials from Hardy. They already have an article on installing mod_rails under Hardy (http://articles.slicehost.com/2008/5/1/ubuntu-hardy-using-mod_rails-to-serve-your-application). These tutorials will probably still work for older versions but it’s nice to know you are starting from the same point before going into the unknown. 🙂
