do-release-upgrade not using old-releases when upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04?
3
Take pity on me, I'm trying to climb the upgrade ladder all the way from 10.04 to 16.04. First step is to get to 12.04.
I've updated my /etc/apt/sources.list to use old-releases:
## main & restricted repositories
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-updates main restricted
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-updates main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted
## universe repositories - uncomment to enable
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid universe
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates universe
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe
apt-get update and apt-get upgrade work fine with this change.
However, when I try to upgrade to 12.04 via do-release-upgrade it fails with the following spew (see below). Fishy thing seems to be that it's still trying to hit archive URLs instead of old-releases URLs. Should those be old-releases? Is there any way to force the system to look there instead of archive?

Good god, don't do that... Follow @miravalls advice and do a clean install! Just keep in mind, 16.04 is also end of life, so maybe postpone until April release of 18.04?
– Robert Riedl
Jan 19 '18 at 16:39
@RobertRiedl Any LTS release has 5 years support. 16.04 is supported until 2021. Even 14.04 is still supported, until 2019. But neither 10.04 or 12.04 so yes, of course, CLEAN INSTALL.
– user772515
Jan 22 '18 at 1:47
@MichaelBay, you are right ! Due to the change in LTS release cycle 16.04 is still in support while 17.04 isn't.

Take pity on me, I'm trying to climb the upgrade ladder all the way from 10.04 to 16.04. First step is to get to 12.04.
I've updated my /etc/apt/sources.list to use old-releases:
## main & restricted repositories
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-updates main restricted
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-updates main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted
## universe repositories - uncomment to enable
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid universe
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates universe
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe
apt-get update and apt-get upgrade work fine with this change.
However, when I try to upgrade to 12.04 via do-release-upgrade it fails with the following spew (see below). Fishy thing seems to be that it's still trying to hit archive URLs instead of old-releases URLs. Should those be old-releases? Is there any way to force the system to look there instead of archive?

Good god, don't do that... Follow @miravalls advice and do a clean install! Just keep in mind, 16.04 is also end of life, so maybe postpone until April release of 18.04?
– Robert Riedl
Jan 19 '18 at 16:39
@RobertRiedl Any LTS release has 5 years support. 16.04 is supported until 2021. Even 14.04 is still supported, until 2019. But neither 10.04 or 12.04 so yes, of course, CLEAN INSTALL.
– user772515

@MichaelBay, you are right ! Due to the change in LTS release cycle 16.04 is still in support while 17.04 isn't.

Note that Ubuntu 10.04 is waay past its end of support, and it has been more than 6 months since Ubuntu 12.04's end of life. My guess is that they've already shut down most if not all mirrors.
Since there have been pretty major changes in these 7 years(configuration files may have even changed!), if you want to keep programs and configurations, what I would do is:
- Backup home directory and all other directories that may contain programs and configurations (for example, /etc if you tinker with configurations manually, ...)
- Make a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04
- Boot from live CD/USB, mount HDD and overwrite home with backup.
- Test if it works.
- If it works, Repeat 3-5. Otherwise go to 6
- Debug. Maybe reinstall and copy less files to troubleshoot what is causing trouble.
- If you works, go back to 3. Otherwise, go back to 6.
I'm sorry, but this is going to be a very painful and slow process if you intend to keep programs and configurations.
The easy way is (how I'd do it):
- Backup your documents, photos, etc.
- Make a list of the programs you have.
- Clean install Ubuntu 16.04.
- Reinstall programs and manually recover your configurations

A workaround I found is that you can modify your /etc/hosts file so that archive.ubuntu.com redirects to the same IP as old-releases.ubuntu.com which is enough to make do-release-upgrade happy enough.

A workaround I found is that you can modify your /etc/hosts file so that archive.ubuntu.com redirects to the same IP as old-releases.ubuntu.com which is enough to make do-release-upgrade happy enough.

Good god, don't do that... Follow @miravalls advice and do a clean install! Just keep in mind, 16.04 is also end of life, so maybe postpone until April release of 18.04?

@RobertRiedl Any LTS release has 5 years support. 16.04 is supported until 2021. Even 14.04 is still supported, until 2019. But neither 10.04 or 12.04 so yes, of course, CLEAN INSTALL.

@MichaelBay, you are right ! Due to the change in LTS release cycle 16.04 is still in support while 17.04 isn't.
