I'm using Ubuntu 20.10 groovy for my Desktop. Unfortunately its end of life has exceed.


According to EOLUpgrade guide sources.list is becomes:


deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ groovy main restricted universe multiverse 
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ groovy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ groovy-security main restricted universe multiverse

I got this log after running apt update:


~ sudo apt-get update

It seems something is wrong in http://old-releases.ubuntu.com.


What should I do to upgrade my Ubuntu 20.10 now?


P.S: *** repositories were third-party and were truncated here.

By some reason http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ does not list groovy (20.10), while really it is EOL since July 22, 2021.


So you have to change old-releases back to archive in the sources.list:


sudo sed -i "s/old-releases/archive/g" /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Running EOL version is dangerous and non-productive, so it is recommended to upgrade 20.10 (EOL) to 21.04 (actual, hirsute) by rebooting machine and running standard procedure like


sudo do-release-upgrade

or


update-manager -c
