A new version of Ubuntu 20.04 was released: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS (Focal Fossa)

Shortly after the release of Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine), Canonical announced the new development cycle for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. The 8th long-term support version of Ubuntu Linux, 20.04 LTS released on April 23rd of 2020 but the ISO images are now already ready to be downloaded for the users who want to experience the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

Don’t expect huge changes

It is safe to say that during the very early stages of development versions of 20.04 LTS will be very similar to the previous version, 19.10. Thus if you are expecting huge changes or new features you probably won’t be able to find those in the early stages.

How to upgrade Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or 19.10 to 20.04 LTS?

Attention Please backup your system and files before upgrading.

To upgrade on Ubuntu Desktop

  • Open the “Software & Updates” Setting in System Settings.
  • Select the 3rd Tab called “Updates”.
  • Set the “Notify me of a new Ubuntu version” drop-down menu to “For long-term support versions” if you are using 18.04 LTS; set it to “For any new version” if you are using 19.10.
  • Press Alt+F2 and type update-manager -c -d into the command box.

  • If not you can run /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk
  • Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.

To upgrade on Ubuntu Server

  • Install update-manager-core if it is not already installed.
  • Make sure the Prompt line in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades is set to ‘normal’ if you want non-LTS upgrades, or ‘lts’ if you only want LTS upgrades.
  • Launch the upgrade tool with the command sudo do-release-upgrade -d
  • Follow the on-screen instructions.

Note that the server upgrade will use GNU screen and automatically re-attach in case of dropped connection problems.

There are no offline upgrade options for Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server. Please ensure you have network connectivity to one of the official mirrors or to a locally accessible mirror and follow the instructions above.

    I’m really inspired together with your writing talents as smartly as with the layout in your blog. Is that this a paid topic or did you customize it your self? Either way stay up the nice quality writing, it is uncommon to look a great blog like this one these days.
