Maintain or upgrade your old Ubuntu distro. Ubuntu distros become unsupported and your apt-get repositories stop working. Or you need to upgrade to a new release from a very old end of life distro. |
NOTE: I am dealing with Ubuntu SERVER here, not desktop, so instead of do-release-update the desktop version may be something else.
This actually didn't work for me, still get a 'Upgrade from Jaunty to Lucid is not supported by this tool'
Since the above didn't work I just did it the debian way (this did work):
## EOL upgrade sources.list
# Required
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ CODENAME main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ CODENAME-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ CODENAME-security main restricted universe multiverse
# Optional
#deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ CODENAME-backports main restricted universe multiverse
