I have to upgrade Ubuntu server 10.04 to 12.04.

10.04 is not supported any more. So what step I have to do, for a clean upgrade?

I did the following steps:

sudo sed -i -re 's/([a-z]{2}\.)?archive.ubuntu.com|security.ubuntu.com/old-r‌​eleases.ubuntu.com/g‌​' /etc/apt/sources.list 
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade 
sudo apt-get update 
sudo do-release-upgrade

After some time, the upgrade is aborting: ...Restoring original system state

  • Its also possible to upgrade to 16.04. But my problem is the upgrade from 10.04. I get no patches.... thanks May 4, 2017 at 7:05
  • @Yaron It is the preferred way to upgrade to the nearest LTS and then possibly again.
