Question is about Ubuntu release process. Are migrations from n to n+1 releases expected?  Assuming we have server with installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Will it be smoothly upgradable to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS via apt-get upgrade ?  Assumptions:   scope is software therefore we assume that given hardware is supported on both releases (upgrading from and to) that's why, always before upgrade you are asked to make backup to be able to revert in case of failure

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I want to install a newer version of GCC, specifically gcc-7 which released . There is a package for it in the , but the Ubuntu version listed next to it is 7-20170407-0ubuntu2 (I have no idea what this corresponds to). I tried following the instructions in   and  and had the same issues. They are from before gcc 7.1 officially had a release, so I am not sure if the instructions would change at all now that it is out?  Even after adding the ppa I get the following:  user@computer:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test user@computer:~$ sudo apt-get update user@computer:~$ sudo apt install gcc-7 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package gcc-7   Any idea on how I can install the new gcc? I am not looking to upgrade my distribution. I am also not above building from source, however that is kind of my last resort because managing that all by hand is just annoying.

I am pretty new to Linux. I installed R-base in my Ubuntu 12.04 using the Software Center (which by default is r-2.14). I want to upgrade to/install R 3.02 or newer. How can I do that? Thank you.

When I upgrade from one version of Ubuntu to the next, the upgrade tool rightly disables all my PPAs, so that software compiled for or otherwise tied to the old version of Ubuntu does not interfere with the new version that I just upgraded to.  Is there any way to automatically re-enable and update any PPAs that provide packages for the new version of Ubuntu? For example, suppose I'm currently running Maverick, and I have two PPAs enabled, "foo" and "bar". Suppose that "foo" provides packages for both Maverick and Natty, while "bar" provides packages for Natty only. Is there a tool I could run after updating to Natty that would re-enable my "foo" PPA and update it to point to the Natty packages, while leaving the "bar" PPA disabled?

Since there are major differences between Lubuntu 18.04 LTS and Lubuntu 18.10 primarily involving the change from LXDE to LXQt is there any guidance available for those who wish to upgrade from 18.04 LTS to 18.10, as opposed to performing a clean installtion of 18.10?

I have several systems. Some are 16.04 mini-servers and I cannot update the OS yet. The others have been updated to Ubuntu 18.04. (The 18.04 version I used has Python 3.6.5 on it).

How do I get the source code for eglibc in a format that will allow stepping through the source with gdb?    I have tried using apt-get source libc6-dev and that works for getting the source code, but I think that since the pre-processor directives were not applied that the line numbers that gdb has does not match with the source I downloaded. This makes it less useful when trying to step through the source and look at how functions in libc are working.

I just upgraded from Ubuntu 15.04 64-bit to Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit. I read that 15.10 was using the 4.1 or 4.2 kernel, but I noticed that my kernel didn't upgrade.  When I type in the terminal uname -r, I get 3.19.0-18-generic  Same thing in GRUB: the only kernel I can choose is 3.19.0-18  Can someone explain how to upgrade the kernel?

I have Ubuntu 14.4.03. The default golang version which came with it was 1.2.1. I would like to update golang to 1.4 or higher.   After searching I found the way to do this would be to first delete current go installation and then re-install the new version.  I found the following go installation files in the following directory:  /usr/share/go /usr/share/go/src/cmd/go /usr/share/go/src/pkg/go /usr/lib/go /ur/lib/go/pkg/linux_amd64/go /ur/lib/go/pkg/linux_amd64_race/go /usr/bin/go   Which directory contains what? Which ones should I delete? What should be the location of new installation? It seems /usr/local is more normal. Then how come Ubuntu default is as above?  What would be the procedure to install a new version og golang?  Thanks.

I wanted to upgrade to 14.04.2 point release from 14.04.  What I did was:  sudo apt-get update &amp;&amp; sudo apt-get upgrade &amp;&amp;  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y   Then I wanted to upgrade to 3.16 kernel, since it wasn't done with the the above command, so what I did was:  sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-utopic xserver-xorg-lts-utopic libegl1-mesa-drivers-lts-utopic xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-utopic xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-utopic sudo apt-get install linux-signed-generic-lts-utopic   Now when I do:   uname -a I get   Linux Y500 3.16.0-33-generic #44~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 13 10:33:29 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux  cat /etc/os-release | grep VERSION= I get  VERSION="14.04.2 LTS, Trusty Tahr"   And when I do lsb_release -a I get  Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS Release:    14.04 Codename:   trusty   I know that uname -a and lsb_release -a both refer to different info, but why does  cat /etc/os-release | grep VERSION= show different version?

I'm on an old Ubuntu version (Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS Server) which isn't really supported any more. So the automatic updates don't work. I have ISPConfig installed to manage a few web sites.  What's the best course of action? I'd like to upgrade to something current, but I can't figure out how to go about doing this, given that the apt-get scripts don't really work any longer.
