I have an older server that still has Ubuntu 7.10, is there a way that I could update this since it is no longer supported?
lsb_release -a
gives:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 7.10
Release: 7.10
Codename: gutsy
I did the following instructions from here and they don't work for me: How to install software or upgrade from an old unsupported release? :
sudo sed -i -e 's/archive.ubuntu.com\|security.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
then updated with
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
and then:
do-release-upgrade
and i get this error:
