Upgrading Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) to 10.04 (Jaunty).
I just ran into an issue where I had an older Ubuntu box running 8.10 which is not an LTS release and wanted to upgrade it. Since it's no longer supported even doing simple updates wasn't working. After searching the web a while I found a number of answers that combined allowed me to upgrade. I found I was getting these errors when doing the " do-release-upgrade" Checking for a new ubuntu release Failed Upgrade tool signature Failed Upgrade tool Done downloading extracting 'jaunty.tar.gz' Failed to extract Extracting the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server. The following information is from numerous sources. It worked for me, I cannot guarantee it will work for you. Try not to do the upgrade over SSH as problems can occur. Note: Ubuntu has an upgrade guide that goes over upgrading older versions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades?a...
