I had to keep using 19.04 for a while after it was discontinued for a variety of reasons. I would now like to move up in the world to 20.04. I have tried following a number of paths, for example the sequence of steps which is described here:  In brief, this means, eg: sudo sed -i 's/disco/focal/g' /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt update &amp;&amp; sudo apt full-upgrade  The error message I get, which seems to be reproduced across the internet, is as follows: E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/deadsnakes/ppa/ubuntu disco Release' does not have a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'universe/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://miktex.org/download/ubuntu xenial InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386' E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder/ubuntu disco Release' does not have a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.  I guess it's been long enough now though that somebody somewhere must have found a fix to this, no? Does anybody know what to do? Thanks!

I am currently using Ubuntu 10.04. I know there is a 10.10 release, but can I upgrade directly to 11.04? Could you walk me through the steps please?

Let's assume I have a working application written in C, C++ or Python. I want to create a Launchpad PPA so others can easily install it from a package. Please give step by step instructions for doing this from beginning to end. (Or provide a link that does the same ;)   Does the programming language matter? (Could it be a bash script?) Do I need to add anything to my build? Where should the build install itself to? How do I define dependencies? How do I use dependencies? How do I create a .deb? What do I need to do before uploading to Launchpad?

I am looking at using  , but I am not sure how easy it is to update a distribution when a new version comes out.  Also, can I use drush to do it, or do I have to manually download and unpack the distribution?

I use Ubuntu Studio 16.04 LTS, 64 bit, into 3 desktop PC (Intel i5 and i7) and 4 laptops (Intel Pentium). All with 8 GB of RAM.  Since about a week ago, I've been getting the following message each time I try to update/upgrade the system:  https://download.01.org/gfx/ubuntu/16.04/main xenial InRelease" has no Public Key. It isn't safe to use this kind of repository.   I tried to remove that repository (which I don't remember adding) with the terminal command:  sudo add-apt-repository -r &lt;repository to  remove&gt;   But, even though the system seems to perform that action, the repository is used next time I type:  sudo apt-get update   This repository isn't visible in Synaptic Software Manager and/or Ubuntu Software Center.  How can I fix it?

I upgraded from 18.04 to 19.10 some months ago and now I want to upgrade to 20.04. But update-manager -c doesn't show the new Ubuntu release 20.04.  Isn't the upgrade ready yet? Is it possible to upgrade to 20.04 from 19.10 now?

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?

This doubt is hitting me since 2-3 days, so I decided to test it myself. What I did is I installed Ubuntu 16.04.4 in VMWare and edited /etc/apt/sources.list and replaced xenial with bionic using:  sudo sed -i 's/xenial/bionic/g' /etc/apt/sources.list   Then I ran  sudo apt-get update &amp;&amp; sudo apt-get upgrade    I was able to upgrade to 18.04, confirmed by using lsb_release -a. However, I encountered some problems like:   apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts. unmet dependency of  python3-aptdaemon.pkcompat Release 'bionic-backports' for 'appstream' not found Broken Unity   I solved all the errors and installed gnome and gdm3.   So, I just want to know is it a good idea to edit sources.list? I know that my system might broke but is there any other specific reason not to use this.  Note: I tested this on Ubuntu 16.04 in VMWare to clear my doubts only.

How can I safely upgrade an Ubuntu installation from one release to another? What should I do before upgrading to ensure it goes smoothly, and is there any clean-up I need to do afterwards?  In particular, do I need to do anything special if I am using packages from PPAs, if I have a graphics card that needs drivers, or if I'm running a custom Linux kernel?  This is a general question , but as example we take Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 12.10
