Ubuntu 20.04 LTS EOL May 2025

So I’m upgrading do-release-upgrade today to 22.04 LTS on my Lenovo Tiny. That screen I had to confirm with ‘y’ twice. :eyes:

Hopefully, the upgrade goes smoothly. I have Ubuntu Pro’s Expanded Security Maintenance good until May 2030 enabled on this server (free) but I’m also upgrading because I’m going to install CheckMK RAW to replace Zabbix, and it’s good to not fall too far behind.

good luck and don’t forget a backup before upgrading :smiley:

The upgrade was successful. But the new kernel 5.15 won’t boot, only the old kernel 5.4. Have to take some time and look into that tomorrow.

Update. So I found that others had the similar issues on AMD hardware.

The default kernel 5.15 just would not boot! The old kernel 5.4 had no problem. In the end I install 6.8 kernel.

What I expected to take 30 mins eh? lol

from 5.4 to 6.8 is a huge step. Nice that it worked for you

Yeah it’s the kernel that comes with 24.04 LTS. I might as well upgrade all the way to that lol

Why wouldn’t Mr. Rolling Release do that in the first place? :wink: :grin: :upside_down_face: :zany_face: Silly rabbit

Lmao. :rofl: funny. I don’t think I’ve even use rolling for servers. Maybe Arch back when I was even more of a noob haha.

But for the past decade that I can remember it’s been strictly Debian and CentOS and now more recently Ubuntu LTS with Pro ESM and Alma Linux.

I thought you ran Kali Linux also? Debian testing (Trixie)/ Sid (Unstable) is pretty much a “rolling release” as far as Debian goes (the code names are off of Toy Story, it was the first movie to be completely made on a Linux Machine so Debian uses it for code naming ).

P.S. you have a typo :wink:

Yes, Kali on my work PC and laptop. But nothing rolling on servers.

OIC, not that brave, pretty smart :wink:
