Upgrade Ubuntu from 9.04 to latest Ubuntu
Updating a version of Ubuntu version
9.04 to the latest stable release is actually very simple and
BORING.
It takes some long time and a lot of clicking, however eventually, the upgrade to the latest Ubuntu will be at hand.
The whole upgrade philosophy to Upgrade an outdated Ubuntu distribution to the newest supported stable Ubuntu release is in a consequentual number of release to release upgrades.
Let's say you're running Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope and) you want to upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10 TLS
then you will have to to the following step by step upgrades;
Upgrade Ubuntu from;
Now let's start upgrading ...
1. Upgrade Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 9.10
Press Alt+F2 and type:
Press the Run Button afterwards to launch the command.
You will be prompted for your Linux administrator password, so type it in.
Next the command will launch the Update Manager . The update manager will show you all the available updates.
The Update Manager will show you the update options, it should say something like:
New distribution release '9.10' is available
Click Over the Update button and wait.
The Ubuntu update will went by by few steps:
You will see further on a screen reading "Support for some applications ended", on that screen simply press the Close button.
Further on you will be prompted with a windows reading:
Do you want to start the upgrade? You have to click over Start Upgrade button to finally begin with the upgrade process.
Now a prompt window will appearing asking you to reboot the system, when the prompt appears click over:
Restart Now
After the upgrade the new release of Ubuntu 9.10 will start booting up, and you will see a screen similar to the picture below:
Now as you have updated from Ubuntu 9.04 next step is to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04
Now guess what you will have to upgrade the trivial quick update procedures once again.
Once again launch the Ubuntu Update Manager
Now guess what you will have to upgrade the trivial quick update procedures once again.
Once again launch the Ubuntu Update Manager
Now follow the above described procedure with update-manager -d
After repeating the few trivial steps you will have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on your Desktop
Further on complete the trivial update steps with the update-manager to update to Ubuntu release 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat).
After having succesfully upgraded to version 10.10, now repeat the boring update procedures described in the beginning of the article to update to Ubuntu 11.04
Now as you should be with Ubuntu 11.04, upgrade once again with update-manager to Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal).
And ast a last, once again with the update-manager -d update following the instructions to Ubuntu 11.10.
I'm pretty sure this is one of my most boring articles ever ...
It's interesting fact that I learn once from a friend of mine about the Ubuntu distribution. The Ubuntu distribution has it's versioning based on months and year whether a version is out for instance Ubuntu 9.04 means this Ubuntu release is released on (Month 04 (April), year 2009)), Ubuntu 11.10 Means this distribution is released in (year 2011, month 10 (October)).

My 17 years old first in line Cousin Stanislav died in a motorcycle accident :|
Yesterday about 14:08, my beloved
cousin Stanislav Valentinov Velikov has passed a way
silently in a motorcycle accident.
It's really terrible, I've been told today by my relatives and it was quite hard to believe it.
My impressions from Stanislav was that he was a very kind good and shiny boy. Like most of us the sinners he had a deadly passion Motorcycles
I haven't seen Stanislav for already about 2.5 years, which was my personal fault not to keep a close contact with such a close relative.
Last time I saw him, he was almost a child and now just few years later he is gone. I've just came by from his home, where all the relatives friends, grandfathers, grandmathers and all that loved him and now him when he was still among the living are gothered.
What is even more painful is the ridiculous way he has passed away. Stani as we used to call him was driving his new Honda motorcycle and was driving nearby a traffic lights on a street "San Stefano" here in Dobrich, a taxi driver was trying to do a manoeuvre right after he had left his last customers.
Of course as it often happens in Bulgaria the taxi driver was doing the manouver against the set rules, (he was doing a backward maneuver) on a street crossroad (located nearby the big supermarket Billa).
Stanislav was coming through the traffic lights in a high speed (it's not clearly known whta speed) and was driving the professional motorcycle without a a proper driving license, as he was 17 he only had a driving license for moped vehicle.
It appears the stupid taxi driver was doing his irresponsible law breaking maneuver right in the moment when Stanislav was driving the road.
As my cousin saw the taxi driver he got probably scared (presumably) tried to use the breaks to prevent crashing the taxi driver and he loose the motorcycle holders.
He jumped over the motorcycle and hit and broke his neck :| It's a terrible story really. What is even more terrible that the taxi driver was an ex-policeman and was one of the responsible sides for the deadly accident which costed the life of my cousin.
What can I say Bulgaria is really an insane country, even though I'm not a big wester fan I should say such an accidents are not that common in the Western World as the law is more observed there.
I've heard from my grandfather and grandmother that Stanislav was really gifted in technics especially in repairing motorcycles, moped vehicles etc.
Stanislav is still a pupil in the nearby Mathematics High School "Ivan Vazov". Before his unexpected death my cousin was planning to get her girlfriend and get a ride to Varna where he was supposedly going to spend the school break and see my other cousin Desislav ...
I've been to Stani's home and saw his lifeless body and it's really striking, he is so young his death is causing an enormous trace and pain in me and my family.
Now my family is lessing itself with a one more good and decent person. Stanislav is a victim of this cruel age. I remember since his childhood that he was very pationate about computer games with motorcycles and cars.
His deadly passion then went on into the real world, he first got a moped, then a professional motorcycle. He violated the law taking the bad example of the many computer games which preach uncontrolled high speed, adrenalin and living on the edge.
But my beloved cousin Stanislav as he was still a teen was not the one to be blamed, the real responsible ones are our parents who doesn't educate is in the tradition and spirit of the faith of our fathers Orthodox Christianity
I've heard from my relatives that now the taxi driver probably want even be hold responsible, as he is an ex-cop and he has many friends still working in the police. Friends who would proof the taxi driver innocent!
We had a small talk with my sister today about the direct influence of the movies and the computer games on the computer psyche.
I believe my cousin is not responsibe for his tragedic death as he was just following an implanted route in his mind by the multiple games and violent movies he has been a fan of.
Stani is just another victim of this cruel age ... As I saw him laying in the coffin I was thinking how short our live is. We work we bye we sell but we never know when our time we will come.
What makes my cousin's death even bigger trady is my uncles death (his father) who died just a few years ago ...
I pray that our merciful God the Holy Trinity has mercy on Stanislav's (newly presented) soul and would be merciful on him and receive him in paradise ...
