About Me

I'm a Sri Lankan, mechanical engineering student studying in Swinburne University of Technology, Australia. Although messing with mechanical stuff is my favourite past time I do spend quite some time messing around with PC's as well. I started messing around with ubuntu about a year back so I thought of making this blog and adding whatever I learnt so that newbies like me can hopefully pick up a thing or two. Please take note that most things i write on the blogs are what I picked up from the internet (I'll try to add the sources whenever possible) or what I learnt by trial and error. I am always willing to learn so please give your comments. Being decent while commenting wouldn't hurt :D

Upgrade any version of Ubuntu Desktop

Press ALT+F2, a dialog will pop up. Type:
gksudo "update-manager -c"
And press run, like this:

-c means: Check for new distribution releases (upgrades).
Some people will tell you to use -d as well.
-d means: Development release. So it will look for distribution releases that aren't stable yet, and offer to upgrade to it. Don't use it unless you're into beta testing, or want to upgrade your L(ong)T(erm)S(upport) release to a normal release.

The above is an extract from the webpage Upgrade any version of Ubuntu Desktop
