Hello folks,

With the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS release approaching the end-of-life status, how we could move to 14.04 LTS or even better to 16.04 LTS without breaking the installed LTSP system? Just issuing the "do-release-upgrade” command is safe?

Any reference guide from the LTSP project in this cases?

Thanks in advance,
V.

It is less work to backup what you need to keep and do a clean install
of 16.04 than to deal with the myriad possibilities of hard to
understand problems that often arise from upgrades.

Just my two cents.

Hi

I agree with Richard especially If you are concerned about your installed
LTSP system. Start planning and testing new 16.04 installation.

LTSP at least in 14.04 is not having all the upstream bug fixes and it
causes a lot of extra Work and issues to you.

Thanks for the replies.

The major problem now is getting a new hardware to withdraw the old one. My idea was to keep the hardware running.

I also do not recommended upgrading like that, too many details change, especially between 2 lts releases!
