Problem to update from Lubuntu 22.04.5 LTS to 24.04.2 LTS

Support and Help
1

Hi everyone

Firstly, I would like to say hello and how are you since this is the first time that I use this forum. Also, I must confess that I am a bit of a newbie when it comes to Linux and computers, but I like learning!

I would like to upgrade my current Lubuntu 22.04.5 LTS to 24.04.2 LTS in order to increase the security of my system. Firstly, I tried through the “Apply full upgrade”. It looks like it updated it, but when I use the command “lsb_release -a” it returned the following result:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy

I tried different few commands (I have attached the whole session log from the terminal), but with no luck. Does anyone know why I cannot upgrade my system?

Welcome to Ubuntu Discourse :slight_smile:

Let’s break this down into a logical process that is the recommended path.

  • backup any important data
  • upgrade using the recommended upgrade path

So, for the best way to upgrade, read this please.

Ignore the fact that it says for server, it applies also to desktop installs.

Very important: do NOT use the -d flag as this will upgrade to a development release which is not what you want.

Next, if not already installed then please add this program and run the command to show us the output:
sudo apt install inxi && inxi -r

When posting output, especially lenghty bits as you have, it makes life easier for us to read and interpret when you use code tags.

For long bits use the backticks on your keyboard ``` and paste the output between the backticks at the start and end.

For shorter bits you can use Ctrl+E to wrap with preformatted text as I did in the command above.

Everything you need is right there in your output.

1. Fix your orphans

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
…followed by a very long list.

Review that list.
Do you want to keep any of those packages?
If not, uninstall them using the instructions in your output.

2. Fix your sources

You have non-Ubuntu apt sources, one of which is deprecated.
Non-Ubuntu sources are the #1 cause of broken release-upgrades.
Fix or remove your non-Ubuntu Wine source.

3. Fix your kept-back packages

The following packages have been kept back:

Find out why those two packages are being kept back…or uninstall them.
Those two kept-back packages are the actual blocker to the release-upgrade. Everything else is merely catching up on your basic maintenance. Those two packages are the reason you are getting…

Hi Rubi1200!

Thank you so much for your answer and for your welcoming!! I am just following the guide you posted and it is working so far! Thank you so much!. However, on the final step I decided to stop since I would like to ask you if it would install Lubuntu or Ubuntu, since I would be interested in Lubuntu only (my laptop is a bit old! hahaha)

Hi Ian-weisser

Thank you so much for your answer! My main concern is that if I start to remove those packages, probably everything will start to fail! For instance, the wine package I use it for certain Chemistry software which is not available in Linux but it is in Windows. Also, some packages refers to R which is something I use quite a lot. So I do not know what to do. Any advice? Thank you!

Advice: Removing orphaned packages will not cause your system to fail. If anything you installed (like Wine) depends upon those packages, they would not be orphans.

  • If you are worried about a failure, then backup your data. Reinstalling everything else is usually very easy.

  • If you do (somehow) lose functionality in an application, then simply reinstall that application properly, which will automatically include all dependencies.

Advice: Do the maintenance BEFORE trying a release-upgrade. Release-upgrades rarely fix apt errors…but they can make those errors worse.

Advice: The choice of flavor is irrelevant. ALL flavors of Ubuntu will eventually fail if the non-Ubuntu add-ons are not maintained.

Unless something weird happened, it would upgrade to the next LTS of Lubuntu.

Hi everyone!

I have just finished installing Lubuntu 24.04.2 LTS following your advice and thank you so so much. It helped a lot! And now I am enjoying the last version of Lubuntu. I can notice that it consumes more RAM, but there is much fluidity.

Thank you so much Rubi1200 and Ian-weisser!!

Hi Rubi1200

Sorry for my late reply!. Yes, I have just done it. Thank you so much for everything. You helped me with my scientific progress by updating my system. Thank you so much again!!
