Error While Updating to Ubuntu 24

image

Which Linux distro are you using? Ubuntu 23.10

Which release version? 23.10
(if rolling release without a release version, skip this question)

(If rolling release, last date updated?)

Which kernel are you using?

Which BIOS version are you using?

Which Framework Laptop 13 model are you using? (AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series, Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 1, 13th Gen Intel® Core™ , 12th Gen Intel® Core™, 11th Gen Intel® Core™)

Try using “do-release-upgrade” from the console? That might provide better failure info, or it might succeed. The errors in your screenshot don’t actually tell much, except “maybe a network problem”.

It says that my release is not supported any longer…which is the reason I want to upgrade.

laptop:~$ do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Your Ubuntu release is not supported anymore.
For upgrade information, please visit:
http://www.ubuntu.com/releaseendoflife

Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.

Ugh, I guess I have to change the URL’s in some file somewhere. What a dumb decision by Ubuntu.

The last line explains what the problem is. You need to apply all updates for 23.10, and then it’ll upgrade to 24.04 without problems.

sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade

Hit enter a bunch of times. 23.10 is not supported any longer (you shouldn’t keep running it), but the updates weren’t taken down or anything.

Thanks for your help @Forge. I have gotten updated to 24.0.4. How can i get my software updater to point to the right place? It looks like it’s not configured correctly.

Hmm. It looks like your install is still on 23.10. If the commands I gave completed successfully, you should be on 23.10, but now with all updates applied. The graphical updater or the do-release-upgrade command should now be able to upgrade to 24.04 successfully. Part of the 24.04 upgrade is swapping over all those entries from Mantic (23.10) to Noble (24.04), which is why I think you’re updated, but not upgraded yet.

I think it’s upgraded.

laptop:~$ do-release-upgrade

There is no development version of an LTS available.
To upgrade to the latest non-LTS development release
set Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.

I apologize, I missed the last question. (I read it as “it’s upgraded” (as in, it’s good) and not “it’s upgraded” (it’s up to date but still on 23.10). If you’re still on 23.10 and updated to current, you should be able to update to 24.04 now.

Upgrades from one Ubuntu release to the newest LTS are usually enabled when it gets the first update cycle, so 24.04.1 and not 24.04 itself. You can work around this a couple of ways, or it should automatically resolve shortly when 24.10 comes out (24.04.1 happens when 24.10 does, it updates the HWE as well). Alternately, you can just use something like sed to replace all “mantic” with “noble” in the sources file, and hope things go smoothly (they usually do, but it’s risky).

Again, sorry for the late reply, please let me know if you’re still working on it.
