Painlessly updating from Ubuntu 10.04 to 11.04 or 11.x

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 421 / 2 Years ago, tue, april 19, 2022, 3:07:14

Is there a way to update from 10.04 to 11.04? I see an option to update to 12.04 LTS but I would rather keep it 11.04 because the new UI is terrible :)

It's because of nvidia drivers and failing to set them up on a 2.6.32-lts when the drivers need 2.6.34-ARCH or something such....

If there is no way to update to 11.04, is there a way to use 12.04 so that it looks like the good ol' 11.04? :)

10.04 and 12.04 are both LTS releases, which is why you can upgrade directly to 12.04. 11.04 and 11.10 are both end of life now, meaning they're unavailable for standard download (you could probably hack around this but it's not a good idea).

I would personally recommend upgrading to 12.04 and fixing what you don't like.

If you're unhappy with Unity, Compiz or whatever in the latest release, you can try other things. KDE (kubuntu-desktop package) provided me with a happy place to call Home but other people swear by XFCE and LDXE, even Enlightenment. Everybody likes something different...

The point I'm trying to make is you're not stuck with what you're given. And testing another desktop is relatively simple and non-destructive.
