Good afternoon
Thank You for help.
This command is connected to Ubuntu.
One question more:
Can
this command update
a 12.10 to 13.04
or also 11.4. t0 13.04.
b Can I use this command every week
and then Xubuntu is updated and every six months there is a new Xubuntu?
If you can identify the relevant program in the command, you can find their
man pages and answer many of these questions quickly. In this case, you
have two programs working in each command and one option on the second
program in each. Sudo is the first. do-release-upgrade and apt-get are the
other two. So to find your answers from the command line, you can use the
"man" program to bring up the manual pages, or search for them on the web
by entering "man+program-name" into google.
>From the command line:
>> man do-release-upgrade
>> man apt-get
>From there you will probably read that do-release-upgrade will upgrade
your
system to the newest version it can find. I think that is a program
specific to Ubuntu if I am not mistaken. apt-get dist-upgrade will read
from your /etc/sources file and will update all new packages, and where
necessary, install and/or remove old dependecies. apt-get dist-upgrade
should not change OS versions unless you specifically update your sources
to a new repository, if I remember right.
Hope that helps. Just so you know, I will probably not be available to
answer any follow up questions if you have them. Best~
Maybe
I ask stupid questions
but
I thought
sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-upgrade
will update my Xubuntu.
But this did not work
so I have to do:
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
sudo apt-get upgrade --fix-missing
Regards
Sophie
