Nikos Giannakas Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Hello people, I use a Tinker Board as a low power desktop computer for browsing, office documents and general tinkering, and after all this time it got personalized enough to worry about loosing all this setup and it is a hassle to just overwrite everything every time a new image comes around. Was wondering if it is possible to use apt dist-upgrade as means to get from Bionic Desktop 5.4 to Focal Desktop 5.4 as can be done on x86 platforms without breaking everything? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible? Yes. Supported? No. Usually it works, but we don't recommend, we don't test such upgrades and you are alone to fix if it fails. I am aware of at least one problem at Canonical side from which upgrade will fail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technicavolous Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Quote do-release-upgrade Thanks for this. dist-uprade and full-upgrade generally do nothing for quite a while now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
