    Can you provide more details? Are you currently running Ubuntu? Or Windows? Or something else?

  • The update-manager should offer the option at the top of the list of package updates next time it runs May 5, 2010 at 17:47

If you don't have it already, you gonna need a free partition on your harddrive to install it beside your current OS. If you need to create a partition, Windows Seven (if you have Windows 7) allow you to shrink a partition so you'll be able to create some place for Ubuntu.

If you already have it , just go in Updater Manager panel and you'll have an option to upgrade to 10.04 LTS on top of it.

Update : (thanks to th3dude )

You can use Update Manager as specified in Julien's answer, or from a terminal you can use:

sudo do-release-upgrade

Yes, do ALT + F2, type "update-manager -c", and the update manager will offer you to upgrade your Ubuntu version.

  • sudo apt-get dist-upgrade from a terminal will work fine too :)

  • @Sathya: No, you would need to edit the package sources first. But that's not recommended as it isn't officially supported and may or may not fail. May 5, 2010 at 17:44

    @Julien Nicoulaud: don't use -d as this will upgrade to the latest devel release is possible. Use -c instead. May 5, 2010 at 17:46
  • Hum yes, I did not notice Ubuntu 10.04 was released already. edited.

Manual upgrade from Karmic to Lucid from the command line:

sudo sed -i 's/karmic/lucid/g' /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
