(ARCHIVED) Ubuntu Xenial Image (BSP Kernel)

[pfeerick]

If I were going to try this, I would run the program that Ubuntu support recommends:

update-manager

kflorek46, that is only for the GUI/DE environment, isn't it? I'm running a headless build, so the appropriate command is do-release-upgrade (the ubuntu equivalent of apt dist-upgrade)

Thanks for your reply. I am aware of all this already. I am offering my help in testing, as will probably others. Only I am not the one to add an (unstable yakkety) build to longsleep's PPA. so if it is there, I am there to test.

I'm sure your offer will be much appreciated. I can confirm from a quick test that following three steps will successfully upgrade the xenial ubuntu image to yakkety. After the upgrade, I still have working ethernet, wifi and audio. No DE is installed, so I don't know if there are any issues there.

Code:

sudo apt-get install update-manager-core

#edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades so Prompt=normal (was Prompt=lts)

sudo do-release-upgrade

Code:
