This article will introduce how to upgrade the server version of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to the latest Ubuntu 20.04 LTS at the current point in time, as well as some details of the upgrade process, hoping to help Ubuntu who are eager to try.
Data backup and other operations need to be handled by yourself. In addition, to ensure the stability of the network, it is recommended to operate on the server springboard, which is more secure.
Currently this content has been run in the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS system environment, :)
First use apt update to see what can be updated.

19 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.
Then execute apt upgrade -y and wait patiently for the software upgrade to complete. If you have updated recently, you will get a prompt similar to the following.
apt update

All packages are up to date.
If you think the software source is slow during the upgrade process, you can try to replace the source, such as the following operation.
sed -i -e "s/mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/"/etc/apt/sources.list
When we execute do-release-upgrade to try to upgrade, there may be three situations that tell us that we cannot upgrade.
When you finish executing the command, you may get the prompt "Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading", which means that you haven't actually upgraded all the software.
do-release-upgrade
Checking for a newUbuntu release
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
You may be curious, I have obviously executed update and upgrade, why does this happen?
There is a big possibility here that if you have used apt-mark to lock some software versions, you need to perform an unlock operation first, such as:
apt-mark unhold docker-ce
As for how to see the software that needs to be upgraded or unlocked?
You can use the apt update && apt list --upgradable command to query:
apt list --upgradable

N: There are 23 additional versions. Please use the '-a'switch to see them.
Then execute apt upgrade -y again to complete all software upgrades.
But don't be happy too early, because you may still encounter the next thing.
When all the software is ready to be upgraded, continue to use do-release-upgrade to upgrade the software, and you will see a prompt similar to the following.
do-release-upgrade
Checking for a newUbuntu release
There is no development version of an LTS available.
To upgrade to the latest non-LTS develoment release
set Prompt=normal in/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.
Here, because the official website has not officially opened the version push, if you want to get the version update, you need to add the command line parameter -d to do-release-upgrade to allow you to get the latest upgrade package.
Usage:do-release-upgrade [options]
Options:-d,--devel-release If using the latest supported release, upgrade to the
development release
If you are an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS user, we need to make a decision at this moment, whether to upgrade one version by one version, or to upgrade directly across versions. If you are a user of Ubuntu 19.10, it is much simpler, because there is no cross-version issue involved The latter part of the version can be upgraded.
We talk about the two upgrade methods in detail.
There is a well-known saying called "You can't take too much steps", and it can also be used for software upgrades in some cases.
Open the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file, we can see the file description:
[ DEFAULT]
# Default prompting behavior, valid options:
#
# never - Never check for, or allow upgrading to, a newrelease.
# normal - Check to see if a newrelease is available. If more than one new
# release is found, the release upgrader will attempt to upgrade to
# the supported release that immediately succeeds the
# currently-running release.
# lts - Check to see if a newLTS release is available. The upgrader
# will attempt to upgrade to the first LTS release available after
# the currently-running one. Note that ifthis option is used and
# the currently-running release is not itself an LTS release the
# upgrader will assume prompt was meant to be normal.
Prompt=lts
Modify Prompt=lts to Prompt=normal, and then execute do-release-upgrade -d, the first stage of upgrade will start:
do-release-upgrade -d

According to the actual situation, after we "Next all the way", when we are about to complete the upgrade, we will see the following prompt content:
。。。
System upgrade is complete.
Restart required
To finish the upgrade, a restart is required.
If you select 'y' the system will be restarted.
After the system restarts, log in to the system and you will see that the system has been successfully upgraded to Ubuntu 19.10:

We modify the value in the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file to Prompt=lts, and execute do-release-upgrade -d again to start the second stage of the upgrade. The operation process and the above There is no difference. With a glass of water, the server restarts again, and the upgrade of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is complete.

After verifying the version-by-version upgrade, we will try a one-step cross-version upgrade.
Cross-version upgrade is equivalent to the "lazy version" of version-by-version upgrade. Of course, laziness must be extreme. You can also use the command apt full-upgrade -y to upgrade the software package.
Unlike the version-by-version upgrade, we no longer need to modify the release-upgrades configuration file, just confirm whether the value of the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file is set to lts before upgrading .
After confirming that the value is correct, execute do-release-upgrade -d and select the upgrade configuration according to your needs. After "All the way Next", the upgrade of Ubuntu 20.04 is complete.
After upgrading all machines to 18.04 [just one year] (https://soulteary.com/2019/04/06/configure-ubuntu-18-04.html), the arrival of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is a pleasant surprise.
Under normal circumstances, we use the combination of update, upgrade, do-release-upgrade to complete the upgrade smoothly, but at the current point in time, the official website has not yet fully officially provided the release upgrade plan, so there is This article.
Well, there is another reason that contributed to this article. After returning home, I went to bed and forgot to feed the cat, and was woken up by the Mao child protesting...
