You can try upgrading the Debian way. It's not supported, but it usually worked for me: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade When that's done, then edit /etc/apt/source.list and replace the word 'maverick' with the word 'natty' and run the update/upgrade commands again. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade That should get you to Ubuntu 11.04 and you can try the do-release-upgrade method again. -- Michael Moore On Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 4:41 PM, gregrwm <tclug1 at whitleymott.net> wrote: > > Reason #6543 why I choose rolling release distributions . . . > > i totally get it. i'd switch, but what keeps me with ubuntu is wanting to > keep current with the edubuntu collection of software in particular, and > the breadth of the ubuntu repos. > > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
