Ubuntu
update-manager package

how do I update from 10.04 to 10.10

Asked by Bob

I was trying to up date to 10.10 was using the instruction on the ubuntu documentation page. but once again they are misleading.

1.Open the Software Sources application from the System -> Administration menu
2. Select the sub menu Updates from the Software Sources application
I get to step two and hit the wall
what is a sub menu? I don't see it. there is nothing there that says sub menu.
so what do I do? is there a way to update in the terminal? is there a easier way? please help thank you

When this window appear to you:

you have to click on 'Updates' at the top bar, then follow the how to.

If you run:

sudo apt-get install update-manager-core; gksudo gedit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades

Change:
Prompt=lts
To:
Prompt=normal

Save the new file, close gedit and run:
sudo do-release-upgrade

Should do it

I just used the server method and copied and pasted the commands. The page says the same thing :)
