How To Upgrade Ubuntu To 19.04 Disco Dingo step by step instructions


NOTE
Please be aware that you will only be able to perform the Ubuntu upgrade to 19.04 only from Ubuntu 18.10 version. If you wish to upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 you first need to upgrade the system to Ubuntu 18.10 before you proceed with Ubuntu 19.04 upgrade procedure.

  1. Fully update and upgrade your current Ubuntu 18.10 Linux system. 

    Execute the below commands:
    $ sudo apt update 
    $ sudo apt upgrade
    $ sudo apt dist-upgrade
    
  2. Remove all no longer required packages:
    $ sudo apt autoremove
    
  3. Configure the release upgrader. Open and edit the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file and ensure that the Prompt variable is set to normal.
    # Default behavior for the release upgrader.
    
    [DEFAULT]
    # Default prompting behavior, valid options:
    #
    #  never  - Never check for a new release.
    #  normal - Check to see if a new release is available.  If more than one new
    #           release is found, the release upgrader will attempt to upgrade to
    #           the release that immediately succeeds the currently-running
    #           release.
    #  lts    - Check to see if a new LTS release is available.  The upgrader
    #           will attempt to upgrade to the first LTS release available after
    #           the currently-running one.  Note that this option should not be
    #           used if the currently-running release is not itself an LTS
    #           release, since in that case the upgrader won't be able to
    #           determine if a newer release is available.
    Prompt=normal
    
    Save the file.
  4. Begin the Ubuntu 19.04 upgrade process by executing the following command:
    $ sudo do-release-upgrade -d

Ubuntu 19.04 Release Date, New Features and Everything Important Associated With It

This is a continually updated article about Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo release date, new features and everything important associated with it. Ubuntu 18.10 is released  and it’s time to start looking for the upcoming Ubuntu 19.04. As spotted by  OMG Ubuntu , Ubuntu 19.04 will be called  Disco Dingo . Since there is not much known about Ubuntu 19.04 features yet, let’s talk about this cheesy codename. Ubuntu 19.04 Codename If you have read my  earlier article about the Linux distributions’ naming trivia , you probably already know that each release of Ubuntu is codenamed with two words starting with the same letter. These letters are in the alphabetical order. So after Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver, you had Ubuntu 18.10 Cosmic Cuttlefish. The first word is usually an adjective and the second word is a (usually endangered) species. Disco is more of a noun than adjective but apparently, there are use cases where it could be used as an adjective. Dingo ...

13 Most Promising New Linux Distributions to Look Forward in 2019

There are distributions that will always make it to the top ten, whereas others may be in the list today and not at the end of next year. Another not so well-known feature of  Distrowatch  is a  waiting list  that consists of distributions: Not reviewed yet With missing or faulty components Without solid English documentation Projects that do not seem to be maintained anymore Some of the distributions that have not been reviewed yet may be worthy of consideration due to their great potential. Keep in mind that they may never make it to the front page ranking due to lack of time or  Distrowatch  resources to review them. For that reason, we will share a list of what we consider the  13  most promising new distros for  2019  and a brief review on each of them. Since the Linux ecosystem is a live being, you can expect this article to be updated from time to time, or perhaps be radically different next year. That said, let...

Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS Final Release

Charles Babbage wasn’t lying when he said “The only thing that would make my Difference Engine any better would be a modern customisable desktop environment that didn’t deviate from traditional desktop paradigms (unless I wanted it to.)” In a long lost diary entry Ada Lovelace scribbled “If only my code could be matched to an OS that had a perfect blend of usability and style accompanied by a handpicked selection of quality software packages.” ENIAC , moments before being unplugged in 1956, spat out a final message: “Give us a reboot when Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS is out will ya?” Dust off 20,000 vacuum tubes and check those 5,000,000 hand soldered joints because Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS is here and it’s time to power it up. MATE Desktop 1.20.1 inclusion alone is enough to make Babbage weep with joy but there is still more. Caja is primed to encrypt your secrets with GnuPG, and with bulk renaming built right in to the file manager you can finally deal with those pesky family r...
