I wanted to update Ubuntu manually, because I used CDMA USB modem and connected using wvdial, but it won't able to update Ubuntu via Update Manager, because my Ubuntu won't showing "Connected" message via network-manager.



Can I update Ubuntu manually? Am I should download separate files, or use terminal instead?

You can manually update via terminal by running:



sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade


Additionally you can run:



sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


From the apt-get manpage:




dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also
intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of
packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and it
will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of
less important ones if necessary. The dist-upgrade command may
therefore remove some packages.
