How do I update Ubuntu system independent of third party apps?

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 531 / 1 Year ago, wed, december 14, 2022, 1:05:03

I'm trying to update my packages so that I can upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04 Xubuntu via terminal.

This will install available updates for all available packages including Firefox, ones which I installed later on like opera browser, etc. This is unwanted for me.

How can I just update the core system packages alone and fast forward to upgrading my system? In other words, how to make these app updates independent from system updates?

copy the file from /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ in that text file remove everything but not with domain ubuntu.com. And please dont forget to backup these text file because you need it later. Now run

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

after update complete keep the orginal content files and its content where it was before and run

sudo apt-get update

This is what you should do. But as a reminder you should have better update all packages until you are doing something strict
